  1. I just want to know what the altered underwear was all about. Or do I?
  2. +Nolf. You know, everyday talent.
  3. I saw ZachMack standing next to Poeta and did a double take, like huh... I didn't realize Mike was so short
  4. It's brutal when you have a guy that would be a national champion if only it weren't for that one guy year after year. Sorenson (Zain), DSJ (Taylor until he graduated), Palmer (Metcalf)... etc
  5. When Brands took over the HC job, he brought Gable on staff as an assistant. Many will say that's a big reason why Iowa was able to get back on its feet so quickly after Zalesky. I think Brands is about as close to Gable as you can get. Unfortunately, I think doing things the Gable way will only get you so far today. The game has changed.
  6. If Parco is losing big late in the 3rd place match, I hope he tees off on his opponent and gets DQed. Gotta finish strong and definitively.
  7. Folks on the tOSU boards may be projecting their frustration. I can't remember the last time Tom Ryan had such a rough tournament. Caught everyone by surprise.
  8. Reforming the challenge & review process would go a long way. There was one consi match in particular that held things up forever because of the lengthy review. The finals would also be much more interesting if a decent chunk of it wasn't a bunch of officials looking at tape over and over again.
  9. The dead period before Nationals is always brutal with folks here itching for the tournament. "You got any of that sweet sweet NCAA wrestling for me?"
  10. How about first year transfers? Hendrickson, Cardenas, Bearclaw, Hamiti are up there. Biggest surprise, Nijenhuis? I thought he'd make some noise in the Pac. TBD, Caleb Fish?
  11. Dom Serrano too EDIT: 2 losses
  12. They are certainly getting a lot of mileage out of that coffee grinder reference. Did Sparks drop it in the Anthony Robles movie?
  13. Hopefully Eggum has his roster on lock. I was thinking that Vombauer might be enticed to Iowa or PSU. Minny's got a lot of good returning talent.
  14. I mean, he let out a yelp on the way down before asking for injury time
  15. This is true. Rock Harrison spends a lot of time explaining stuff like riding time, the implications of stall warnings, basic technique, etc. which might drive hardcore fans up a wall but is probably perfect for your average ESPN viewer.
  16. What was Hendrickson's injury? Looked like something hand or arm related, but nothing apparent in the instant replay, and he was also holding his sternum. Happened late, but it did seem to affect him for the remainder of the match.
  17. Did we ever hear from Hamiti what happened during his match with Mesenbrink at Big Tens last year? Some thought he gassed out while MM put his foot on the pedal. Others saw him limp off the mat. Either way, he was right there with Mesenbrink and coulda shoulda woulda won.
  18. I was thinking the reverse, that Hamiti's length and flexibility would limit Haines' scrambling, and Haines is comfortable with letting opponents get to his legs and working from spaghetti positions. KOT really had to work for those takedowns.
  19. Kasak is an ox, but he might also be one bad head injury away from ending his wrestling career
  20. (Actually, I'm pulling for Kharchla)
  21. I know folks are saying no one can touch KOT and Haines, but Dean says
  22. Is Schultz going to pull the trigger or what
  23. Wow. Confirmed.
