Don't fall for the banana in the tail pipe.

If we're discussing this honestly, I'm guessing that Nebraska fan got exactly what he was seeking out of the interaction.

You should ask to speak to the manager.

This is the saddest troll on the planet.

Yeah, but in fairness Ed Scott must have dead after that cut. Like literally deceased.

I'll never forgive Mitch Moore and Vamce Vombaur for throwing themselves to their backs last year at NCAAs for no reason in tight matches, giving up falls and the bonus points that helped secure the team score record.

How are you finding a way to talk about Iowa in this thread centered around your team winning a great dual?

I would imagine HR is not being too kind to Patrick Kennedy tonight

In real time i thought it was 3 and 2 for Andrews, but when they showed the replay, I saw what Angel saw and could understand the change. There were some weird ass stall calls throughout though. And some weird decisions not to call stalling. Just no consistency.

Saying Mesenbrink doesn't have physical advantages is insane to me. He honestly wrestles a lot like the Brands brothers/my personal favorite Hawkeye Brent Metcalf. Unreal pace.

Agreed. This ties in with the prior posts in this thread about Cael having an excellent ability to identify the "right" recruits.

1. Forrest 2. Bassett 3. Blaze

Certainly possible. I do think on the whole that Lovett is better than Parco, but Parco may have a stylistic issue for Lovett...or maybe he just pulled an upset twice.

I knew you would, and it was intended as such.

Smith DEC Cruz Ayala DEC Van Dee Hardy MDEC Schreier/Block Parco DEC Lovett Taylor DEC Estrada Caliendo MDEC Minto Kennedy DEC Pinto (really not sure about this one) Arnold DEC Allred Buchanan TECH McDanel Kueter DEC Andrews Iowa 24-10 (I think)

I can not imagine two more different people than you and Chael, lol. He's not totally for me, but I find him amusing.

I'm not going to directly address the trolly pastry, but it's certainly interesting that two high level PA recruits left the state and by all reports were at best 3rd for both (and they missed on Dreshaun Ross who they also recruited), it doesn't mean anything...yet. obviously I hope it signifies a change in recruiting patterns but as many have pointed out, PSU has loaded up the last two classes and is currently a fairly young team as well. I think they only lose Carter and Kerk next year. Big losses, obviously, but high quality replacements. They do have a bit of a pile up at the middle weights to sort out, but the biggest potential "problem" i could see might be at the biggest weights. With Ryder and Barr and Mirasola vying for two weights, if little Mirasola doesn't make it...does he stay? If he doesn't, does his brother leave? Big Mirasola is the only real HWT recruit right now, but some rumors of them going after the Moccos. Bottom line, it's certainly interesting that PSU missed on three top end recruits they definitely tried to get, but it doesn't mean anything...yet.

I know that you all were as bummed as me that he is not going to be in the black & gold. Truly, a stud wrestler and Okie State doing a great job even with missing out on Bo. Can't win them all, but Ross AND Forrest is a monster class by itself, let alone whomever else they bring in.

There's not really a negative connotation associated with spaghetti and meatballs and Italians. I would know, I'm Italian (though I prefer ravioli and meatballs). There is a negative connotation with associating black people and fried chicken/collard greens. I believe Fuzzy's exact quote was "and tell him not to serve fried chicken next year, or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve." Pretty clearly a racially tinged remark. I think there's a clear difference.

This is the internet, man.

I thought about that like 5 minutes too late. I was typing on my phone, really should have busted out the thesaurus for some more colorful adjectives.

You should ask all the current Hawks themselves. Here's one: Then you had Gabe Arnold's dad celebrating on HR last night. Truly, though, the amount of people who suddenly genuinely care about (and have opinions about) the interpersonal dynamics and the feelings of the other teammates of the Hawkeye wrestling team is heartwarming.

That's not the only thing ol' Fuzzy said.

The amount of gross comments about a high school kid behaving like a lot of his peers is gross behavior. A large segment of the wrestling fandom, and the Penn State fandom specifically (not you, @PortaJohn, you've reacted like a normal human) has really said some gross stuff about, again, this high schooler. It lends credence to the idea that some PSU fans see this as a threat. It's not, as of now, a threat to Penn State's dominance. He's still just one guy (or even three guys if you consider all the brothers locks). A lot more is needed to catch Penn State, and it's not like they're bringing in nobodies. Show some class.
