New Boys Buying In With Brands
 October 29, 2007
|
 That mentality is the idea of no frills wrestling and utter dominance that has come to be a trademark of Iowa wrestling. “When you walk out there you have to be the meanest and toughest guy and believe it. That state of mind is turning around the program and nothing is acceptable here but pure dominance,†says Metcalf, currently ranked 6th at 149 pounds by Intermat. “If you’re not going out to be a national champ then you’re not asking enough out of yourself,†explains Borschel, the projected starter at 174 pounds. The Hawkeyes all seem to have bought in to this message as they expect nothing less than a national title as a team but also individually throughout the lineup. The Iowa program is looking to return to its familiar position atop the podium but onlookers speculate on the performance of the new starters. “We all have something to prove to everybody. People don’t understand what we can do and it is our job to go out there and show them,†Slaton claims confidently. Nobody in the wrestling room doubts the potential of this team and what it can accomplish as Borschel states, “Everybody in this program has all the talent in the world but the difference now is that all those guys believe they can beat anyone at their weight class.†Excitement builds everyday for the Hawkeyes as a clear change in perspective is seen by everyone within the program. “For so many guys college wrestling was a hobby but for all of us here it’s a lifestyle,†proclaims Metcalf. Borschel, Metcalf, and Slaton now begin the journey to establishing their own legacy but for the Hawkeye program as a whole the opportunity to rebuild a dynasty is right before them. |
