If Lee had two good knees would he be as good? These are questions we need to know.

Happy New Year to all!

He also apparently claims the season is too long as part of why the guys are currently out. But we are just halfway though now. By that logic if we had a shortened season wouldn’t those sick and injured guys still be out but it would be around conference and NCAAs instead.

But chips seems to be an internal one against a teammate and maybe slightly his coaches (though it should be more there from my view). Is there a cerebral assassin on staff that can somehow twist that into a chip against the rest of the 125ers field?

Well you could probably bail on the potential of this event too. But the point is it’s still one more possibly solid event stringing more teams out in multiple winter break locations. So it’s still seems like almost all coaches are saying we are choosing this one or one of the multiple others.

Come on, the development we have seen and hopefully will continue to see from the New Orleans Collegiate Duals was the closest we have had to this in years. Almost all didn’t do both (and seems like a limited squad if they did), so is that the trade off most solid programs want us to decide between?

Is the philosophy for several coaches becoming we are either going to give fans a good mid-season national dual or a tough mid-season tournament, but we aren’t doing both. Seems like that’s were things have went with a decent nationals duals (could be better) and now several very watered down tournament that look like or maybe weaker than most week one events.

For some of us it take a large part of our life to find a soulmate.

He spending most of High School learning to follow and lock down 170-190lb wrestlers. Definitely an assist when it comes dealing with keeping up with college big guys on the mat.

I feel like that type of HS restriction would only be possible by a Level 60 Karen.

He was directing it at the coaches, but from what it looks what he said was about Drake not about them. (Stare down of Drake walking off) Then turns to the coaches and says what looks like “He wanted to go. He wanted that” Then after the hand raise said something that harder to determine but seems to point his mouthpiece towards Drake when he says it So again if things was figured out pre-tournament from the coaches then they dropped the ball and Spencer’s annoyance is misplaced.

Gotta consider with the weakness of this event the possibility of this final matchup was there. Any issue on how they would approach the situation could/should have easily been worked through the coaching staff prior to tonight’s match. If not Spencer’s annoyance should have been with them not Drake.

I never understood the issue of wanting someone to FF in the finals when two teammates face. I’d almost always want to see them wrestle it out under normal conditions. I get in this case the coaches and Spencer would like to be cautious so he can stay healthy, but in that case he can be the one to FF as has already occured several times in the past. Drake wanted to be a competitor even if the odds were against him, and I can’t see any of the coaching staff or hardcore Iowa fans trying to advise against that mentality. But either way the in mat drama was a little much, and trying to dig into any practice room drama is a little much here.

Davison brothers wrestled each other when one was still at Michigan and the other Northwestern.

Pretty sure he threw away his shot at bring a starter.

Pretty dumb the BTN is not even showing the finals live or recorded. Nothing from Iowa’s event either.

They were primed for a solid team and individual finish the Covid year, but have fell off a little since then.

Gotta have peiple to provide some type of semi reliable content for FloRodeo, FloBowling, FloMarch, FloVoice, FloDance, etc…. They just love their laterals.

He’s behind both KISS and Ozzy have done like 3.

FIFY

Wrestling brought you to the party, so learn neutral striking blocking/evasion and find your wrestling.

I’ve always been impressed with Raney, so I’d be good with your assumption.

I think that’s really comparing apples and oranges on that one. Ironman will be is hampered in the matchup due to the tournament inviting full teams and somewhat limited weight spots. Where as Ironman is open to all individuals and will make added space at the weight classes it want if additional studs sign up to attend. Even with crazy good teams Ironman is still limited in overall talent when the entire tram comes along and there are only so many spots to fill. If anything I think that makes the talent they have been able to pull in even more impressive.
