From on3.com:

“According to Pat Mineo of The Wrestling Room, four Iowa wrestlers will be suspended for an entire year. Those names are Abe Assad, Nelson Brands, Tony Cassioppi, and Cobe Siebrecht. All four wrestlers were entering their senior seasons.

Two additional wrestlers will receive a partial suspension, just missing a few matches — with the exact numbers not being reported on quite yet. Patrick Kennedy and Cullan Schriever have avoided the harshness that their other four teammates received. Both Kennedy and Schriever were considered juniors within the program.

Mineo is also reporting appeals have been filed by all six.”

Mineo seems to throw everything up against the wall and sees what sticks. I dont think he really cares for Iowa.

I got the Iowa info from Keith Murphy’s Facebook yesterday. Someone copied the Mineo article and posted it in the comments. Someone else then described Mineo as the “Perez Hilton of wrestling”. I don’t follow wrestling or wrestling media, but got a chuckle out of that.

So…is there a line on the game yet…lol

I would (and will) bet on UNI to cover. A lot of the public will see power 5 v fcs and take ISU without knowing about the suspensions. I think Panthers will come in fired up, too.

I don't think we'll typically see games involving FCS teams on any online books until the day of the game. That's at least how it seemed to be last year. I'd have to check DK and FD in the hours leading up to the game to be able to bet on it. With the uncertainty around ISU, it wouldn't surprise me if they really went down to the wire before releasing anything.

Depth chart.

Even though a Mark Farley week 1 depth chart is usually about as valuable as monopoly money this seems like it might be close.

It's impossible for Mark to pull his normal Mark depth chart for QB, RB, WR, TE, LT, and C on offense. Going beyond returners he specifically mentioned all of them as starters/players on media day. He also specifically called the other 3 OL listed as starters, along with Roper.

Defensively he was specific about the DL, and given the fact they are all returners outside of the 2 transfers, it's hard to "lie" about that position. Everyone knows about Woo and Deerman. That leaves just the 2 LB rolls and 3 other DB slots and given how little anyone knows about those spots it's impossible to know if he pulled a Mark on them or not.

I also get the feeling Mark is more confident about this team than any team he's had since about 2011. You can tell his tone and statements are far more confident than anytime recently. He may feel so good about this team he doesn't feel the need to play games. Confident enough to "flop it on the table" up front so to speak.

Wondering if the 'Clones are bracing for a long season and pointing to this game as one they have a good chance of winning???

[Panther AC]

The pressure is on Campbell and the Clones to win this one. They've lost 14 of their 25 games in the last two seasons and with the betting scandal keeping numerous starters out of their lineup, they are potentially looking at a third losing season in a row. Losing to the Panthers would not be a good start for them. Go Panthers!

As a dedicated UNI fan, this could happen every season to them and I wouldn't bat an eye, feel an ounce of sadness, or care in the slightest. Same goes for the Hawks. I hope we roll in there and leave with a big fat W.

The pressure is always on to beat UNI. If we lose this game basically it craters fan interest for the rest of the season. For the record ISU went 7-6 last 2 years ago. Last year was ISU's first losing season since 2016.

I also don't think the gambling thing is much of a scandal. Don't think anybody really is mad at Campbell about it.

I agree with this take.

I love this offense. I love what Bodie Reeder is doing with it. I love that Rick Nelson and Keelon Brookins are back. The defense has question marks but that has been Mark's strength for nearly 20 years now as HC.

Feeling very good about this team for this season. The UNI flag is flying up Nort'.

Agreed. Anybody blaming Campbell on this is a flat out moron. He can't be with every kid, every minute of every day and we're all well aware that 20 year old kids don't always make the best long term decsions.

Campbell seems to be a good dude and has made ISU football semi-relevant in his tenure. I wish him success in Ames this year starting Sunday, September 3rd.
