How's that any worse than hanging out with drunks, who are all over college campuses, and probably more likely to get into fights? And someone who smokes from a bong (likely weed) is a far cry from being a junkie. Sounds to me like he should have stayed away from his ex, who may have been with her current lover.

As an Iowa faithful, I know walking into the arena that we’re about to pull off the greatest upset of the century. Tom Brands figured it out. He said he knows his guys need to “wrestle better” and “be tough”. He cracked the code. I’m going to sit back, eat about 3000 calories worth of snacks, and watch our boys go to work out there.

If Glazier can antagonize Brooks into throwing a punch at him, he has a chance.

Alright. Me vs @Jimmy Cinnabon coming up.

With the pace of predictions slacking, I thought I would start assembling the summary ahead of tomorrow's dual. Everything Old Is New Again As in years past the consensus on Go Iowa Awesome is the most Iowa optimistic. Of course, optimistic is a very relative term in this context. They have the average score at 9 - 26, Bad Guys. And no surprise Happy Valley Insider is the most Lion loving. With an average score of 5 - 31, Good Guys, they are looking to set a bunch of records. Biggest Iowa dual lose in the Brandsx2 era, biggest lose at Carver Hawkeye, and biggest lose in the 10 wrestler era. The collective wisdom of the Intermat crowd is the cooler head that will surely prevail. By our estimation, only the Brands era record will be broken. That currently stands at -15 and we see it as an 8 - 27 final score. Details Only @Pish and @fishbane are calling for the shut out, though fishbane also likes the fireworks. Joining him on #teamfireworks is @nhs67, as they both called for parallel team point deductions. From their lips to the scorers ears. No one anywhere is calling for an Iowa win, not even on GIA. Unprecedented. The closest is our own @Mr. PeanutButter (who also admits it is plumb loco) and @crzyctldy who is not crazy about cats enough to call for the Hawks to win, but likes the Hoosier-ian comeback to beat all Hoosier-ian comebacks. I think he just likes to see it burn. @1032004 is closest to consensus. He just needs to throw a team point deduction in there for Terry and he is a sure thing. Uneasy Lies The Head? There are two to rule them all apparently. Only Aaron Brooks and Greg Kerkvliet garnered unanimous support. That's right. Someone picked Carter Starocci to lose. Or did they? @flyingcement picked him to du..., du..., du..., miss the flight to Iowa City as he apparently did not make the travel team. Maybe, yes. Maybe, no. But one thing the cement shoes definitely got wrong is picking against Karl Shindeldecker. When The Decker wrestles, The Decker wins. By decking his pinfelled opponents. On the flip side "Team Point" deduction got more votes than poor Patrick Kennedy and Brody Teske, combined. On the Iowa side, "Love The" Drake Ayala is the prohibitive favorite to bring home the team points. Is it a Carvering if everyone is calling for it? A Carver by any other name would smell as sweet. Most everyone thinks Real Woods counting lightbulbs courtesy of Sergio Lemley was a fluke last week. Woods out-voted Beau Bartlett 35-14. Beau is no Bo. Most Dominant No surprise here.

jimmy is fading like that photo in Back to the Future

If I didn’t know Taylor was black before this match, I do now. Terrible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why didn't Lovett choose top in the third? To me, it was a no brainer. Instead he lost the major and could have ridden Gomez for 6 plus total minutes to break him

awwwww shit just realized I can't even watch the dual at all, why doesn't their streaming service show all the stuff on the network? FUuuuuuuuuuuuck that.

We do have some Ultra-Patriots in here who are excessively intolerant of USA criticism. There is one lurking at odd hours of the night that says, 'Be cool and think of both sides' in some posts and then has emotional fits on anything sensitive.

I got Gomez. Hopefully via a huge throw or something.

idgaf about 'war crimes' you braindead turds fail to recognize the simplest fact: that jews have been bombarded and faced with extinction for hundreds of years. you're a bunch of pussies that pick on someone then cry when they get punched in the face. it proves all your 'empathy' is a bunch of virtue signaling bs. if you truly had empathy it might be for....oh i don't know...the most persecuted people in the history of mankind.

why is it 'enough' now? he was gone before he took office. the damage is already done.

Pat Lugo got way better at Iowa.

wrestling adds are so cringy....

Glaziers gonna win and flip the double bird split

NOPE

Me too. Don't care. We can't keep rewarding him doing nothing and then, when the guy who did all of the work is tiring, he works for 10 seconds.

Maybe he wants to be a professional poker player and its a new way of hiding his expressions. He could smoke a cigarette in there and no one would notice

You don’t need B1G+ tonight. If you have B1G10 Network just record it. If not, do a free trial with YouTubeTV, DirectTVstream etc and record it

i mean, WR, there is something very wrong with the picture that juxtaposes two power nations that are typically at odds and our is a leader that needs institutionalized and their leader is very sharp. i don't know that you could paint a more stark comparison.

b/c you're a very predictable idiot.

That’s more of a comparison than praise. And a fact to boot.

if you are gonna attack the fan base, try to be funny.

Revised... Hanging around junkies, drug dealers, drunks or ex-girlfriends is a bad idea.

educated ≠ intelligent

I think the DOJ report is what has been happening for a long time. Just a more overt effort to lessen Biden and give the Ds reason to move to another candidate. The presser confirmed that and the media who normally wouldn't mention what Hur said about memory are shouting that from the rooftops. So there is massive disaffection with Biden. He will not be the D candidate in November in my opinion. mspart

Obviously if you checked the 4chan wrestling forum you would know it's because he's a deep cover black ops agent and the government experimented on him to see how his hollow bird bones would respond to a 5G microchip implant before making everyone take the jab. Going to a snowflake libtard school was just a false flag cover and the sheeple fell for it.

I think a key element of 'Carvering' involves chaos and usually disorientation of some sort. It is often a 'mismatch' between two competitors (e.g., Schwabby and Guerrero), but necessary to the situation, I think, is a moment where something goes haywire: e.g., a wrestler bonks out in the third; a ref calls stalling or intervenes in the match in some other way; the score or riding time clock is incorrect; etc. The crowd plays a necessary and critical role in these moments: by getting really loud and making it difficult for said wrestlers and refs and staff to orient to the match and do what they came to do. I think the example of Sammy Brooks and Bo Nickal is actually a good example of the lesser known phenomenon of 'anti-Carvering': a talented and cool-headed star is unrattled by the environment and masters the chaos through his own unconventional technique. One can compare this, too, to 'near-Carvering': for instance when Brandon Sorensen almost got one on Zain. I should probably go back to work.

Not all of those wounds look like "threw a bong at him"... that shoulder looks like he was stabbed with it. Three major injury areas... hope he won the fight. Lots of stitches but we are far enough out for those to heal for conference.

Biden is so bad even the TDS boys around here have gone quiet

Yeah, this is a puzzling comment since Tommy and Kevin are still putting out episodes. They just released episode 453 this week. Their website and feed address hasn’t changed ever.

Gomez is wrestling well right now. He's dangerous in the tie-up for sure, but he's also got a pretty wide arsenal on his feet (including a super-slick single that can come up into a body lock). I'd probably take him the dual, but I see more potential for Ridge to go deep at nationals.

you kinda split the line between potential joke/potential truth too well with this...

I heard it was a technical hangup. It was shot in 3D but because Dake exclusively wears red lenses he couldn't view the documentary properly. When they asked him to wear standard 3D glasses with one red lens and one blue lens he pulled out of the project.

I know way too many educated, logical people that believe everything on CNN. They dismissed all discussion about Biden before and post election.

Agreed! I was surprised to hear Deakin apparently had myocarditis earlier in the year when he lost in the semis (so would’ve been before Covid vaxxes were available if anyone was wondering)

***duck** that. Newsome has destroyed California.

Shouldn't it be: the Indian vs the Ohi or the Whos vs the Nuts?

Even is his damage control tirade he confused mexico with Egypt. It’s sad.

wtf are you talking about? just say you hate america and be done with it.

I always catch the replayed hours after. Sometimes I wish I was in there live to interact with chat but it’s no big deal. The Hate-boner this place has for Flo is insane. That criticize everything like these fat lazy lards could do any better. They attack CP when CP is charismatic and passionate about the sport WE ALL LOVE. Constructive criticism is okay, bitching and whining is just addressing issues without offering a solution.

No need to even watch this ass kickin

I like Willie and Basch too, but FRL is better. By “more,” I assume you mean things like Basch name dropping all of his clients and how Jordan Burroughs’ family was at his house swimming in the pool?

Does he even remember rob koll? He was given up for adoption at a tender age

Holding out hope for two completely new candidates. I don't care if its August/September when they pop up.

I prefer the Biden admin, or any admin, just get out and stay out of others countries elections all together.
