Thank you. My friends on the Penn State forums have shown me the light.

Cael didn’t think the match would be FUN enough for Facundo which is what Cael is focused on (not winning).

LMAO at the substitution censor @BobDole

Zach Braunagel looks like a guy I would want to drink 20 beers with and then stay the ***duck duck goose** out of his way.

Might have to see you in the gambling forum on this one come March.

Kennedy barely lost to hall while injured at the Scuffle and then turned around and clean 10-0 teched him in freestyle (I think, not going to look it up). Kennedy is absolutely at Hall’s level. edit: I looked it up. Kennedy lost 6-4 in OT then defaulted out of the tournament. In free Kennedy swept him 8-3 and 5-0 in freestyle.

My favorite part of this is that Murin hasn’t lost to Carr since. Whoops!

Davenport got gassed walking to the mat apparently.

No, nothing.

Is this the same sales pitch they gave to Andrew Long?

Hey, I made Varsity because of this thread!

Some Facebook group that mothers of active collegiate wrestlers should probably not be on when their kids are wrestling and definitely should not be on when their kids are getting their asses kicked.

Yeah, sort of reminds me of the pattern we are seeing out of Okie State at the international level

You sound sad.

That he doesn’t wrestle with the team because he is recovering from surgery. He rehabs in the room, he conditions with the team, he is not live wrestling during Iowa practices at this point. Which is what has been happening, regardless of how you want to interpret Angie Ayalas post.

Our highest level wrestlers are adapting a more Russian style of training. If only our youth culture would adapt. Less matches, better practice, greater levels of success.

You are already bastardizing quotes. Spencer Lee, who has been recovering from ACL surgeries (3) literally the entire time Drake Ayala has been at Iowa, does not “wrestle” with the team per Ayala’s mom. Wrestle and practice are two different words with different meanings.

It looked to me that he was jawing with the coaches and not Drake.

Bono excels at this. When things go right, he’s personally accountable. When things go wrong, it was out of his hands.

I believe Marinelli actually just got his masters degree as well so at least he used the time while he was there to continue his academics. Some recent interviews with RBY have made it seem like he isn’t even in school at this point, just wrestling for PSU which seems odd.

This could get wild in duals if coaches start to play the bump game.

Ah man I haven't even started A Spy Who Came In From The Cold yet.

As someone who lives in Iowa this is absolutely true but to call what USA wrestling does to promote these events as 'marketing' is a big ole LOL. Throw a sign up, throw some social media ads out there, and then complain when the fans don't open their wallets and spend another $1000 on a weekend of wrestling. Regardless of location and terrible marketing strategy, USA Wrestling shouldn't be bitching about fans not showing up when our top athletes don't even care to compete domestically outside of OTT/WTT. PS, the format of the World Cup is terrible. 8 hours of duals for two days straight isn't a format to draw crowds.
