I'm not a partisan shill like some people, i don't get sad at such things. Some of us are here for the wrestling.

Far fewer than what I had expected when I joined to be fair.  But you're right, especially after shedding Tbar and MSU, the childlike team bias has been diminished.

Salazars lack of aggression will always be a mystery to me.

If that 184 match were reversed in terms of action, they would have stalled salazar out.

Having had experience cutting too much weight…I recognize a fellow excessive cutter of weight.

Teske sneaky pick to not make nationals, glazier sneaky pick to AA this year.

Glazier wrestles like Jacob Warner in a skinny body.

yeah, but I'd say thats a meaningful distinction because a lot of warners wrestling was based around how heavy his hips were.

[CHROMEBIRD]

I'm just glad AJ didn't run down onto the mat after Glazier like it was WWE. Fans seem to be enjoying him though.

[CHROMEBIRD]

Cooter's coming out

[headshuck]

Iowa would be a totally different team had they kept Metcalf around.

[GreatWhiteNorth]

FFS Tabor

[flyingcement]

Tabor could have had that one

[wrestle87]

Nutmasher and cooter are really glaring indictments of football conditioning.

[poorwrestler]

That was one of the worst third periods I’ve seen out of any d1 guy in a while. Had no idea what he was doing on the mat. Let Keuter steal it from him.

Put a wrestler in a swimming pool and they are done after 2 laps. Different cardio

[CHROMEBIRD]

Would never have guessed that PK would be the only one in the dual to score bonus pts

WKN?

I miss ending a dual with a backflip.

Ayala: He lacks physical toughness (injury proneness mostly) but his mental toughness is truly elite.  He never panics when down and routinely pulls off comebacks.  I love that in him.  I just hope his body can hang

I worry for my boy Matt Ramos with Ayala… in that I could see Ayala separating himself from the pack come post season. 
 

*this opinion is based on watching the last two Iowa duals.*

Two things:

1. I wouldn't worry about Ramos v Ayala or about any separation from the pack just yet. Too early to tell.
2. I also wouldn't worry about McKee. The McKee's are made from different stuff. I'd still put $ on Patrick.

McKee’s 3rd period tonight was pitiful.

Well I am glad that I got to see Kueter wrestle. Hopefully he gets sharper and conditioned as the season progresses. 

[VakAttack]

Kueter is going to make rapid improvements.  Not "title threat" improvements, but I think he's a solid AA by the time March rolls around.  His effort while gassed was impressive, he pushed thru.
