OK, so maybe Operating (a Vehicle) While Intoxicated could have made the list, but where is the fun in that? If we're not making fun of each others programs in the off season, what is there to do?

Pick up a book?

I'm assuming this was a misspelled DWI, but if not, I'd love to know what an OWI is. I have a few ideas for my Iowa friends about what Iowa wrestlers might be doing..
Ovulating While Intoxicated
Overcompensating (for) Weenie Insufficiency
Obnoxious While Intoxicated
Offensive Wrestler Incident
Offseason Whoops Incident
Objectifying Women Intoxicatedly
Out With Idiots (that one gets a lot of wrestlers in trouble)

Been there and done that more than once. . .

Bluebloodlion must have been talking about andrew long.

[BlueBloodLion]

Evans, Long, Marion, take your pick from a long list of many others from almost every program.
18 to 22 year-olds who are highly motivated and told that they can be better than anyone else and can do more than anyone else are bound to make some mistakes along the way. The key is to have a laugh and learn from it. It looks like Long and Marion have made good choices, sadly, some others didn't. What I truly hate is when someone tosses away an education on top of the opportunity to wrestle.

[grimreaper]

I'll agree. You have to have a little fun. Just don't get caught.

Evans is back

I saw that over on HR. Great news.

This is great news. I was really getting nervous that I wasnt going to get to watch him as a Hawk.

I understand that guys have "growing up" to do while in college. I would've never met the standards that Tom puts on his wrestlers as I drank all the time and never went to class. But also nobody could tell me how to live my life. I'm glad Mike is more mature than I was and has chosen to do things the right way and has gotten back on the team. I wish more kids would listen to people that have gone through it so they wouldnt have to make those same mistakes.

Having said that. I have no regrets and I bet Mike doesnt either. Youve got to go through these things and some people learn faster than others.

Cant wait to see him in the lineup, if he can beat EL.
