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.
I agree. I’ve been going to the big 12 tournament the last few years and the ISU fans always act like complete jacka$$es
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🤣
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
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
I’ve had beers with Cyclone fans and have been to Ames a few times over the years. I’ve always found them to be good fans. My vote is for those jackwagons from Columbia, MO. They were the cellar dwellers for years and once they had a modicum of success they start acting like Hawkeye fans. I’ve never had a beer with a Tiger!
Heh I almost got into it with an ISU fan one time. It was when Surber was wrestling heavy and he beat their guy. I think his name was Schuyler? Anyway there was a couple fans in front of us who started to walk up the stairs to leave and one of them turned around and flipped the bird towards Surber.
As the two were walking by I flashed up the OSU finger guns at them lol. Needless to say they were not impressed.
You can take the fan out of Iowa, but you can’t take the Iowa out of the fan. Their fans tend to be on the zealous side, which does make for a good Rival. Mizzou fans tend to be on the redneck side, which also makes for a good rival… I’ve got nothing.
🤣🤣way to stay strong cowboy! I'm not one to rag on other teams kids, more of a cheer for the cowboy guy. I try to stay respectful especially at big 12's, you never know whose family member is sitting near you lol.
To me it is easily Iowa State. They seem to be the team poised to be our biggest in-conference competition. They are a regular Big 12 team so we play them in everything. I think that matters. Throw in the Perry factor and to me it is clearly them.
I came to my first match in the earlyish 70’s. Been a fan my whole life of 56 years. I rarely post on here but I’ve been on here since 2003. Back in the day we had several Cyclone posters that were knowledgeable and very respectful. Actually met up with a few for beers on more than one occasion. Every fan base has their A-holes. I’m just saying my trips to Ames vs my trips to Columbia are wildly different. Also I’ve noticed when a team is down like ISU was for years the fan base gets a little quiet. When success comes back the chucklenuts show up. Just observation. I’m sure we’ve got a few ourselves. Obe can get pretty obnoxious! lol
