    See if any qualified for the Big Dance and then went all 5 without winning anything, or failing to AA. Maybe set a record for the most losses at Nationals?

    Iowa... that is the place. Get AJ from Bakersfield & this kid & scare all the competition.

    Would you also have been rooting against Iowa while Gable's guys were winning 9 NCAA titles in a row? How about Oklahoma State before that?

    DAmn, all the drama... getting ahead of myself. Hard to do when you are old & slow.

    Listening to the commentators it was said they thought he was recovering from a light touch of Flu. Who knows what reality is?

    Bo and the Ford Focus? The buzz is that both are locks for the top spot next year - and the three following. A lot of excitement as the Squawkeyes now have two potential 4 timers - with potential being actual rather than just crazy thinking. A few fans even think both will be 4 timers and undefeated - as TheTerribleTwins push to out do Cael. Will it happen?

    The older fans grew up seeing Dan Gable push & push & push. 1981 he even pushed the ref to call Stalling in Tim Riley, one of his wrestlers. The ref saw Gable making Stalling motions & yelling "he's stalling" and started calling it - until Riley was done & was disqualified for all the stalling calls. Yep, Iowa fans are highly attuned to STALLING - but still give their own wrestlers much more leeway that Gable would.

    Iowa and Oklahoma State both have a history of underperforming at the NCAA tournament. OSU has a new coach and a "Whole New Mindset" - but still lost to Iowa. OSU has not done great at The Big Dance for some time. Will any changes show this year? Iowa is looking tough & the Big 10 tournament is coming up. Maybe they do well there - but will it be another case of NCAA glory being "we had a finalist again"? Two programs with good coaches - what happens this year?

    You do know what the cloning of Dolly the Sheep means in Iowa, right? Now every kid in school can have the Prettiest Girlfriend in town.

    I think Ferrari went out there, wanted to keep the match close. It's hard to score on a guy who just wants to keep it close--NOT saying he shouldn't have gone after him more, but are we going off his past a bit more than his actual results this year? ---------------------------------- Damian Hahn vs Cael Sanderson.

    After watching both I think it is either very close - or a total blowout. Carter is looking good. Keck is looking like a world beater. If anyone can beat Starocci, it is him. Active and rugged and can go the whole 7 minutes. How do you see it?

    Heard from a guy who knows someone who heard somewhere that he is not going to wrestle because he is afraid he might get matched up with Crooham.
  13. AgaveMaria
    You don't get better facing cupcakes & dodging the tough matches. You don't get better with no challenge in the room for training. He might do well but from what we have seen it is not apparent he is a real threat to win it all this year. Next year his younger brother may have grown into 197. Maybe they can meet on the mat because I doubt Iowa will bring him in.

    You don't think we should expect Professioalism and good performance in presentation, analysis and such during the matches?
  15. AgaveMaria
    Mark Schultz?

    Problem I see is Student announcers without supervision from an experienced sports announcer. They are there to learn. Dumping them into a position without solid preparation and an experienced companion doesn't help them and subjects us to crap play by play.

    Sorry, none I wrote were pinned in college competition. All were "Greatest of All Time" in their era. Dan Gable maybe questionable as he lost the final match his Senior year but went to greatest heights on the International circuit.
  18. AgaveMaria
    Ferrari in Bakersfield isn't exactly setting the world on fire lately. Seems to be hiding. Will he actually be ready & peaking for the NCAA tourmament? If not he might not be All American this year.
  19. AgaveMaria
    Dan Hodge? Yojo Uetake? Dan Gable? Cael? All "greatest" at the time. Not sure any of the 4 timers lately fit that definition.
  20. AgaveMaria
    Kirk, maybe with Cael & Co gaming a good plan for him. Wyatt Hendrickson of OSU, maybe. He has the size & speed - not sure about the confidence.
  21. AgaveMaria
    But not of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir - since they now say using the term Mormon "is a victory for Satan". Even though Joe Smith taught that "Mormon" means "More Good".
  22. AgaveMaria
    I can see Penn State getting the record for duals. I don't see them winning Nine Titles in a row.
  23. AgaveMaria
    Taylor getting pinned by Bubba - sure was the wrong time for it but as the guy says, stuff happens.
  24. AgaveMaria
    Like the current coach at Oklahoma State?
  25. AgaveMaria
    Most surprising was that Brands was actually aggressive with his wrestling. He got takedowns and was a force on the mat. Way different from what we have seen from him in the past.
