Wow. Levi looking the way I thought he would at the beginning of the season. Great match

Um, I'm not sure if that's a takedown

Perhaps it was initially, I didn't hear it if that was the case. But Bartlett certainly took injury time. Heard it very clearly on the broadcast

Alright boys let's hear the perfectly reasonable explanation for why that was a legit injury call and not an attempt to prevent a takedown Lol at Bartlett sprinting off the mat

Looks like VD wanted to pay back Shunk for the ride out rather than trying for more takedowns, and therefore bonus points, for the team

Alright boys, let's hear the perfectly reasonable explanation for why this isn't a duck?

Wow. Smith mopped the mat with the middle schooler

How come?

Seems weird to throw him against Kerk but sit him today if he wasn't the starter. He's not going to get an AQ spot for the weight this late in the season so may as well give him as much experience as possible. But, I have a feeling that he is redshirting based on the no-go today

Plenty of freshmen have had weird matches before going on to place or win it all. Gabe keeps winning while up a weight. He'll be fine

Yikes. That was really close to unraveling at the end

Kinda weird how Caliendo was 1 takedown away from tying it up at the end. Felt like he got squarely out wrestled

This is some sloppy wrestling

Not disagreeing, but how so? Thought he looked about how I'd expect against an outclassed opponent. Got a little sloppy on top a few times

Low. I thought he had one date left before the redshirt is burned (so next appearance would be "official"). However, people online are telling me he has one more date left after today so he could go against Plott. Losing close to Plott isn't a good reason to burn the shirt. Beating Plott however...

Yep, pretty weird optics

Idk man, how long did it take Ayres to get Princeton to be competitive? I recall a lot of years with plenty of rough beatings. Plus, Princeton just lost 2 hammers. Give Dubuque some more time to try and (re)build something

I've said before and I'll say it again - Pat Pop has amazing facial hair

I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how (relatively) well Nebraska stacks up against PSU. Obviously, it's a long shot but the above could happen. Unfortunately, I think it is more likely that PSU goes 9-1

Pipe dream, I know, but I would love dove if he came to Iowa, in whatever capacity. Head coach of the HWC makes the most sense since he could do his thing without being bogged by the administration. Again, pipe dream. More realistically, it's probably Wisconsin if anywhere D1. It will serve as sweet retribution against Bono and would. Give that program some much needed panache

What if Carr can consistently beat MM who consistently beats KOT who turned the corner last march and now consistently whoops Carr. In this hypothetical, who is the best wrestler?

Flo gets a lot of flack, a decent amount is deservable. I really like that they put so much of their content on YouTube (maybe Flo should have been a YouTube channel with a patreon the whole time?) The passion the guys have can't be denied

Vito's a beast, obviously. But with him missing time (and with reliable reports of an injury), are you concerned about NCAAs or Oly trials? I like him, a lot but...

Her 1500m win streak is now the longest. It was longer than the 800 by a couple days

My first response to you began by acknowledging that many good points were made regarding necessary changes to the program in this thread. I then contrasted this with your work. I used the term bad faith because I know you don't actually want to see any changes or improvements to the program, or that you actually care about the sport at all - you just get your rocks off by spewing vitriol against a program and its fan base. It's very easy to check your posting history, which is sporadic and, what I'd call opportunistic. All of your recent posts have been filled hate and have focused on Iowa entirely. So I'll repeat my earlier point: other posters here are trying to have a discussion about wrestling. Whereas your only intent appears to be to spread your own misery onto others. True story: at the conclusion of the 2021 NCAA finals I went bar hopping with my good friends. Most of us were wrestling fans and there were a couple PSU fans in the group (I spent a good chunk of my 20s living in Hershey - went to a lot of home duals during those years). It was a long night. In between stops I'd check up on the forums. Without fail, yours was the most recent response. Over the course of many hours during that night you frantically typed multi-paragraph rants about how "acktchually, it's not winning NCAAs that's important, it's about the individual champions!!" over and over it was the same, quazi-coherent sewage that wasn't even geared towards celebrating PSU's accomplishment that night but rather was hyper focused on Iowa. It was your first time posting that season. I only recall that incident so vividly because at some point one of my friends saw that I was on the site and asked what the scoop was. I showed him your posts. His response: "that guy's a f***ing weirdo". My friend's a Penn State fan. You've made a ritual of making these types of appearances. You're only ever present to dicuss Iowa. So to recap: I take no issues with people that criticize Iowa. There's a lot to criticize. At least it comes from actual wrestling fans. You on the other hand have nothing of value to contribute. As for your other argument: definitely not an insider by any means. I have some relations to the program and I and my family annualy contribute and a lot of us fundraise. Info rarely trickles our way but nothing I've ever heard wasn't already repeated online. Though I'm an unabashed fan of the program, if there was a slam dunk replacement for the Brands that could raise up the program, I'd be all for it. See my post following your's for more of my thoughts. This will be my last time engaging with a low value poster like yourself. Feel obliged to respond however you like. I know you can't help your obsession so you'll be back to snipe at Iowa soon.
