Iowa v PSU - Jan. 27, 2023

[Voice of the Quakers]

Starocci plays with his food too much for my liking. Not getting bonus points there could really hurt.

It's not the stalling, it was the mocking of Starroci at the end of the mat. 

When Starr kinda danced like he was not bothered and after the whistle Brands did the same thing.

 

It wasn't a judgement of anything other than the petty animosity between the two.

I think the strategy against Starocci should be to take a 1-0 match into the 3rd and choose neutral. Try to steal a td at the end. Guys burn a lot of energy trying to get out and he regularly gets the riding time point.

Kennedy is a tough grinder. Facundo is more finesse and needs to operate from space. Kennedys style is the perfect counter for a guy like Facundo

Brands dancing after the loss was cringeworthy.  He might need a reminder from Spencer about what type of person uses an excuse

[scourge165]

So 14-18 going into HWT or 14-17?

[Dark Energy]

Rhodes weighed in at 171?  Iowa not have depth at upper weights?   Dual is over.

[Wrestleknownothing]

Rhodes 171. Sacrificial lamb.

Again, Starroci had just done pretty much the same thing to him(but while there was time on the clock).

I don't think it was an excuse, I think it was just frustration and mocking him.

171? Jeez what botch job by Iowa here.

I don't know how I forgot about Dean-Warner.

Maybe wishful thinking. Based on a lot of the matches tonight, I'm not expecting a barnburner there.

Difference being one was doing it while winning, and one was doing it while whining.

Because. Anyone willing.

Aaron Brooks vs Drake Rhodes shows the level Spencer Lee is really at.

Yes, one was a sore and insulting winner, the other a sore loser calling out the insult.

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Hard to hate on Brooks. He is just so much fun to watch from neutral

 

[Wrestleknownothing]

That was hard to watch

[Mr. PeanutButter]

In other, other news, Paniro Johnson lost to some dude

@WrestleknownothingSparks just said that Bo Nickal predicted a 60-0 dual win by the Nittany Lions.  Now that's a homer pick!

[d_jizzle_05]

I'm impressed by Iowa's 2 takedowns so far tonight.
