Mr. PeanutButter

I have not seen Kennedy hunt for the underhook so much before. What does he see there?

Dawg, you have some rulebook studying to do

What do you have to lose Cobe, give us the sauce!!

Both of these guys can make for fun wrestling. Let's hope they don't shut it down just because of the size of the moment

That's on them. Murin was stalling and I would like for him to be called for it, seriously. I'd rather watch good hard wrestling then see a wrestler from my team try to eek out a win with cheap tactics

C'mon, don't settle for a win by riding time Edit: just as I say that Murin scores!

I disagree. But I also really don't like much of top wrestling. Murin for example, is definitely riding just for the sake of riding.

Very nice slide-by by SVN, somehow, Murin defends somehow and then gets in on a shot. More action so far than I was expecting all match

He is. It's definitely a stall ride. I watch a lot of Iowa wrestling though and that's the first time I've seen it from the team.

Because one transfer used it in 1 match?

Yes. It would also be nice to see Woods more offensive in the 3rd. He's been shutting it down lately

It is. I'm guessing Real learned it from Cenzo

RBY was 10 seconds and one sloppy Teske shot away from not getting the bonus

In other news, Gomez injury defaults to Yahya

Got boo'd during introductions. No ovation after the match

Of all people to stop Lee's pin streak, it ends up being a Vespa

Lee almost in danger lmao. More notably though, he now has 2 knee sleeves

Don't roll

I'll tell Tom

Beau Bartlett, Max Murin, Cole Matthews, Yahya Thomas. On weekends I rewatch the Evans-Kokesh-Storley-Brown wars. Dizzying amounts of action

I didn't take your slight against Lee or his character or whatever. Rather, I simply don't agree with your characterization of his wrestling. He hasnt lost since 2019. Since then, he has had 2 matches where he was behind at some point - Vito at senior nationals and Ramos just a few weeks ago. He convincingly beat both

Hmmm feels like your shifting goal posts. In earlier posts you said that if Lee couldn't bully his opponents in the 1st two periods that he would wilt. I provided (as well as another poster) examples of matches where Lee didn't bulldoze his opponents in the early goings of the match yet didn't wilt or lose

Yeah, I don't think Spencer's mentality is any different from those other wrestlers. The decrease in scores after the first 2 periods has more to do with physical rather than mental conditioning. Did you watch his NCAA matches from 3rd title run? He had tough matches with Schroeder, Hildebrandt, and Courtney. All lasting 3 periods. None of which featured any 3rd period gassing. That wasn't because Lee suddenly decided to not be a "bully", but rather because he had no acls and had to adjust his style and pace accordingly

And other greats like Metcalf, Taylor, Zain, Nolf, Nickal, Steveson were gentlemen on the mat?

It's well known that Iowa wrestlers only lose by technicalities
