Since OU has stunk it up for the last decade I feel like we need a new rival. I'm kind of feeling UNI, lol. As much as I respect Schwab as a coach, his fastball brick throws and yelling at Coach Smith antics were kinda lame in Stillwater the last couple of trips. And they beat us, so I dont like that. Obviously, Missou is in the mix as well. So what say you - who should be the team we love to hate when they wrestle us?
New Conference Rival
- Thread starter OSUBigBadBob
- Start date
I know they beat us a couple years ago but idk I just don’t feel like UNI is big enough.
I’d definitely say Mizzou or Iowa State. There seems to be some genuine animosity between the teams.

Nothing feels better than having my favorite brew after beating Iowa like a drum.
I think Iowa is a given rival and I agree with you, but they arent conference rivals
oops...I think Iowa is a given rival and I agree with you, but they arent conference rivals
Hard to dislike UNI, antics aside Schwab is a good dude and hard to hate. I'd go with the cyclones. Imagine Carroll and Merrill going at it the next few years, should make for some good times especially if Perry is in the corner!
I vote Missery. I've always hated them in wrestling especially when they bolted to the SEC & somehow remained relevant.
This makes me laugh. I had a few beers with some ISU guys at big 12's a couple years ago and they said the same thing about us🤣
ISU has a hell of a lineup this year..plus Carrol transferring. I felt a rivalry starting last year at big 12s…
Swiderski is out for the year it was announced today which hurts Iowa st
Not if they bump everyone down and insert Chittum by pulling his shirt. Granted they won’t be at weight until January but the below is a salty lineup:
Terukina
Frost
Echemedia
Paniro
Chittum
Gaitan/Euton
Naak or Riggins
Bockman
Carroll
Batista
Agree that would be a good line up. Chittum has to sit for 4-5 more weeks before he can train because of his concussion issues. Ech already turned down extra NIL $ to go 141 so Casey took the $ and cut down. Maybe they will offer Ech more $ now
I didn't know weight watchers was in the NIL business lol
I heard the same but also know at the end of the day the coach decides what weight they will wrestle if they want to see the lineup. In other words, if Paniro agrees to drop and beats Echemedia then, he is goes down or he sits and Frost takes the spot. I also heard Chittum can go tomorrow if needed but they are playing it safe. Either way, I don’t think they can make the drop in time for the Iowa dual.
He saw a concussion specialist in Pittsburgh recently and was told take 5-6 weeks off. Dresser talked about it in an interview recently. Also Paniro can't beat Ech that's why he's at 157
