Seriously, a guy who's a fan of a team that just lost 7 of 10 matches to Iowa status this thread.

What a bizarre world where fans of any team other than Penn State can have the audacity to question the program health of Iowa, lol.

Kid looks like a dog, though I have questioned the lineup fit (not the skills fit) for Iowa given the Kueter of it all. I think the Mocco brothers are more of a fit, IMO. Doesn't mean I think they'll be better than Ross, again, the kid is an absolute animal. Two posts on the same subject 4 posts apart. The Bit is strong.

That's not manhandling. What Mesenbrink did to Caliendo was manhandling.

Manhandled? Wasn't it 4-2? The position at the end that everybody is focused on was born out of Teemer just getting into bad position trying to force a TD and going inside trip.

Both of those things play rather strongly to Iowa, actually.

Bo says the NIL offers are all comparable.

https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-state-department-usaid-humanitarian-aid-freeze-ukraine-gaza-sudan "On Friday morning, the staffers at a half dozen U.S.-funded medical facilities in Sudan who care for severely malnourished children had a choice to make: Defy President Donald Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations or let up to 100 babies and toddlers die. They chose the children." As always, real people with real lives subject to the real consequences from the whims of a revenge-focused oaf.

I put zero weight on anything the Minnow says.

He knows, and he's always known

"Forbidden terms"! Truly the stupidest, most cartoonist timeline.

Mesenbrink should be the favorite.

I'm actually ok with the stall calls in general, but have spent years having it explained to me on the forums that just handfighting and pushing to the edge is not wrestling and thus should not earn stall calls, and yet....

This guy's a quality troll.

Huh? I do not think (nor did I say) Iowa has a shot at beating Penn State in any full lineup dual this season barring an unexpected injury default. Yes, Okie State could beat Iowa. I was talking about Iowa having paths to victory at individual weights.

Re: Parco i was saying that all week. Watching him legit score on SVN gives more hope, though I won't pick it ever. I think you're underrating Ferrari's showing against Starocci. Either way, your team won, so to the victor goes the smack talk.

I actually liked how Iowa competed, even while being outgunned. I could see the Iowa guy finding ways to win 133, 149 (even though i think stylistically it's unlikely to actually happen) 157, 184, and 197. Iowa no shot at 125, 141, or 165 (which is crazy since they have the second best guy). 174 was technically close, but no shot, IMO. Right now the talent gap is too wide, the next two recruiting classes are key if Iowa is going to make this competitive in the near future. EDIT: I'm not saying they would win those 5 matches, obviously.

Another weight where Penn State looks massive against Iowa. Need to get their S&C guy.

Seriously? What is happening with the refs?

Seriously, what is Kerkvleit doing to get a stall call?

Shane Sparks just called Kerk a blanket on top. Super exciting.

I like the cut of Barr's jib.

For only the second time tonight Iowa appears to have the bigger wrestler.

At this point, it feels like this could suck.
