Here we are, the bye week. Iowa football sits at 5-3, and has largely been a disappointment in a year that began with high expectations. Luckily another season is right around the corner and would you look at that — there are similar high expectations in Iowa City. We’re talking wrestling today, ladies and gents.
The last time we saw head coach Tom Brands and his team on the mat, it was to the tune of three losses in the NCAA Finals at Madison Square Garden. Thomas Gilman dropped a 6-3 decision to Nico Megaludis of Penn State at 125, Cory Clark lost to Cornell’s Nahshon Garrett by a point at 133 — a match that’s frustrating as all hell to think about — and Brandon Sorensen got majored by arguably the best wrestler in the country, Zain Retherford.
