Are you a UNI fan? I see you comment about them a lot this year. Ban, I support ALL teams from Iowa, perhaps some a bit more than others. UNI is a close second for me. Oddly, it's the only one of the big universities in Iowa where I didn't take a class. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ban_basketball 16 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 Doug Schwab has done a remarkable job at UNI. Isn't this his third season? Amazing what the right coach can do. I think his fourth season, with just over half of the starters being exclusively his own recruits. Funny how just before last season people were already beginning to hint that he was continuing the tradition of (my favorite stupid quote), "running this storied program into the ground!," but no longer does he seem to be doing that in the eyes of the coaching experts on rasslin forums. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to give every coach five seasons to be able to tell if they are a good fit. Sadly, if they are a bad fit it could be a few years too many but there are many times when a program will take a step back under a new staff just to leap forward. I have enjoyed watching UNI's progress. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scrambler 43 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 I have been following UNI all season and i must say that they are one of my favorite programs to watch. They wrestle hard for 7 minutes and bring it with an "in your face style" that i believe has long surpassed their in state rivals that wear the black and gold. I would place them as the most physical team right now. Just my opinion of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LtWtLooker 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 Rating by the same standard as we seem to rank wrestlers, UNI is the Dual Champion. LoL I think UNI under Schwab has made remarkable progress and an undefeated season is nothing to sneeze at. Here is dual schedule. It looks like a fairly competitive out of conf. group. Funny how many were wondering about HC Schwab in prior years. Way to go Doug!! Keep in mind at least 7 will be back next season.

TNTwrestle 10 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 Ban, have some confidence that Schwab will bring some guys along, and recruits will pan out. Colon, Loder and Lazor will be hard to replace, but have some faith. UNI is my second favorite team (I went there to wrestle, but things happened) and I almost always root for them in matches not against the Hawkeyes. They've been more fun to watch than Iowa lately. I called the Colon/Ramos match at Midlands, although I hated to acyually see it. I hope to see a rematch at NCAAs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No need to worry about my faith in UNI: I had it and never wavered on it during the leanest of the lean years. However, and with that said, there's no escaping the fact that next year's team will not be quite as good as this year's team. That's just a simple fact, and not a reflection of how much faith I have in UNI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pennsyrules 209 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Although I liked Penrith, it does appear like UNI needed a change and it is for the better. Some other schools should take a page out of the UNI book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ban_basketball 16 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 ban, who are UNI's big recruits? I don't know anything about them, as I don't follow high school wrestling, but people seem beside themselves with Josh Alber and Adarios Jones. Both are from Illinois.

ban_basketball 16 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 UNI will be a little weaker tournament wise but about the same dual meet wise next year. We ain't finishing undefeated, I can tell you that. Yes, we'll likely dual with Iowa next year, but even barring that dual, the team won't be the same dual team as this one was. A good team, yes, but it ain't no 2013-2014 team.

ban_basketball 16 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Ban, what do you think their record would be in the Big 10? I don't know; your guess would be as good as mine, but I don't think that we could beat Minnesota, Iowa, and Penn State. As for the rest, I'd go with UNI at this stage of the game.
