Who was the douche?  Swid seemed the part, looking from the cheap seats.  Ignoring the final whistle.

Where’d you buy those Hawkeye colored glasses…..

Poke done did ran out of fuel,  eh,  friends?

I said at the beginning that those sunken eyes didn't look good.  Reminded me of Slaton that one match.

Well the difference is that Lee beats Dennis in the practice room

Maybe,  but there was a shortage of fuel from my angle.

Did they even shake hands at the end?!

Why would they need to? They shake hands before the dual, before the match, and after the match. What would we be looking to gain from a 4th (if not more) handshake.

If you’re gonna be a bright spot in an abysmal dual, you might as well go for the reach around.

It looked like dresser went to shake brands hand after the match but brands turned away

Didn't say they needed to. Just asking if they did. Most teams shake it up after competition. I'm just going to assume they were trying to avoid any potential altercations.

Oh shit.  KT took him down.

Lee is no way 100%.  If he is gassing like this against this opponent, he better hope Arujau doesn't head back down...

It wasn't even Terukina who took him down it was the Iowa State BACKUP, Cabanban. Lee gassed horribly. He was no where near ready to wrestle.

If Lee scored a major and wasn’t ready to wrestle, what would you say about his opponent?

Its part of the new options for start weight, you can also choose to either shake hands or blow kisses.

That he is the backup for a reason, and as a backup wrestling a three time national champ who is also a two time Hodge winner wrestling with the ultimate home mat advantage, he did damn good.

Agree in the sunken eye look on Lee.  I expect no more matches for a while.  Really hope he can get back to peak form.  This has got to be stressful for him.  
 

Guy is an amazing talent.

“Ultimate home mat advantage” is a new one for me. What criteria must one meet to have the ULTIMATE home mat advantage vs a Regular Home Mat Advantage?

CHA is a much different home mat advantage than anywhere else, ya gotta be there and see/feel it.

As a season ticket holder to Iowa Wrestling meets for the last 15 years , and someone who was there today, I am fully aware of the Carver experience. Which is why I laugh that this was characterized as the ULTIMATE home mat advantage as opposed to the other years where Iowa has put ISU out to pasture.

David Carr was not able to score bonus points against Patrick Kennedy who did not even place at the Southern Scuffle. as 2x AA and National Champion, David Carr was obviously nowhere near ready to wrestle if he couldn’t major a guy who has never wrestled at the NCAA tournament before.

I can only assume you have not attended a match at Carver. For reference material go to either BR or BWI and you can read up on "getting Carvered."

I'm not speaking for the person you're asking the question to,  but I think I have a pretty good perspective on home field advantage. 

For one,  I've never really believed in it,  simply because statistics don't bear it out very well.  However,  and with that said,  there are two places where it is very real.  One is rasslin against the Sqwawkers at Carver Sqwawkeye arena, and,  two,  playing the Packers at home in January. 

My only two exceptions.

Good assumption. Is every match that takes place at Carver the “ultimate home mat advantage “ or just some? What makes it the “ultimate” vs a regular ole match at Carver. Be specific, DataBoy.

“It’s not real, except where it’s real”. Great analysis. Don’t you owe someone $1000 or something?
