Dark Energy

Well, that would do it for the new Captain America.

Someone have his pin and tech count? Thinking Hodge is his.

Lovett / Henson. Snore until the end. When Henson is robbed. Crap way to highlight wrestling

The better wrestler lost

Someone please please explain how that TD was overturned? Henson was the only one attacking in that match.

Finally!!! Thank you Mendez & Hardy!!!

And finally, excitement in OT. Ayala OOB many times to evade being scored on. No calls, again and again. And finally a stall and a point … lots of activity from Ayala then. I’m liking the freestyle idea of no tie after a couple minutes.

4/5 through match 3 (Byrd / Ayala) - snore. Finally something happens. Not good for the sport.

At 2025 championships - Matches boring. Need more incentive to try to score. Refs not forcing action

Are you sitting with Iowa people? I’m not. Saw and heard fans all around including in Penn State section. Other Iowa wrestlers got 1/3 the applause or less.

And the squad is kicking ass in third place bouts. Amazing.

Yes, best team ever. 8 in top 4!!! Others top 6!! Holy crap!!! Yes, no doubt best overall team ever. No debate.

Not true at all. Very loud ovation from many fans, including the large Penn State crowd when AJ lost. Bigger than other Semi matches and way way bigger than other Iowa wins.

4 for reversal? Ok if you want no more mat wrestling. TD and release will be way way more common.

4 years of eligibility. Something needs to be done about the edge wrestling. Seeing ideas here. Refs are perfectly good with it. Guy with butt preferentially to line or beyond it. Some change is needed here. Agreed on ride with no turn attempts. Groan.

Nomad posted a very interesting chart on X. I believe this does matter. Ridiculous how many are from 2018 and 2019. This is a college sport. Not a retirement plan. Congrats to Luke — balled out as a true freshman. Seems like a really down year for true freshman … no? Wonder why? Oh, maybe because there are a ton of 2/3 yr grad school people 24 and 25 year olds that are wrestling. And congrats to those that made it from 2023, 2022, and 2021. Can’t wait for this Covid year crap to be behind us.

How this is even a debate just baffles me.

The answer is four years of eligibility for everyone. Done. Over. No exceptions. Sports just aren’t that important. Foster growing up and being productive members of society. If you want to stay / be in entertainment (sports), that is cool! Graduate and make that your job. Adults that live their lives vicariously through young athletes and adults who are $$$$ hungry have allowed great distortions in the mission of an academic institution. It’s crap.

You folks that can’t understand a cumulative set of percentages make me sad.

Ok, I’ve finally seen it!!! Thanks all, sorry for doubting.

Cardenas!!! Love it!!!

Listen to his interview with CP. His complete goal on top is to ride. Makes no mention of attempting a turn. Should be called for it. Will see if refs are being told to watch for stall riding.

Ok. I thought I was looking pretty squarely at the mat. 77” OLED. Didn’t see a hint of it. Freaking at Ballet now. Pray for me.

He doesn’t suck but overall the hype has been proved to be overdone.

You sure? Some clear views from above, could not see any hint of it.
