Truth hurts? And some simple math or just paying attention would put me closer to the end of gen x and proud. A LONG ways from boomerville.

So the other matches Block gassed, was it gassing, or adrenaline? Apparently only you know.

You talk and talk like you are an expert, but it’s easy to tell you’re full of crap. Your only response to others was that they must not have wrestled, or at least didn’t at a high level. If you are so knowledgeable because of your high level of wrestling and try to use that as evidence against other posters, post your wrestling credentials. If you won’t then stop the ******** acting like you are more knowledgeable than others. And even if you have wrestled at a high level, your’re still full of ****, and hiding behind that.
I could tell you exactly who he is but it isn't my story to tell. He was a D1 all american so he is more knowledgeable than 97% of the guys who talk on here.

I am a huge fan of Block, but comparing him to Ferrari simply isn’t fair. Two vastly different leagues…
Wasn’t it you that was comparing Bailey to Spencer Lee the other day…like you said, two vastly different leagues…

Now, if ever there is a more apt comparison to an argument made by a female Democrat, I haven’t seen one. You covered all the bases. Ignorance, deflection and insults.

As the Democratic playbook says, you just hit the trifecta. Even Abby Phillips would be proud!

Lmfao. So, the ONLY way you would say they wrestled well is if Ferrari, Peterson and Block beat the undefeated #1 seeds in the quarterfinals?

Even then, Ayala, Bailey, Caliendo and Kennedy have wrestled great.

Separate how you have felt all this season and then tell me honestly that you thought they would wrestle near this well today?
Bailey has wrestled better than I expected thus far.
I'd also expect Iowa to have a 125lbr that can advance past the qtrs of the big 10s, vs relying on a R12 5th year transfer.
I'd expect Iowa to have a 149 that can go 7 mins and not give up 4 stalling points to lose.
I'd expect Iowa to put a 157 on the mat that can win a match.
I'd expect Iowa to not have a 174lbr wrestling 197 bc the D3 transfer quit.
I'd expect Iowa's #1 pfp recruit at Hwt to be able to advance past the qtrs.
All "waiting for March" has been is a great big denial game for a program in significant decline.

Please tell me you aren’t this clueless. There was NO comparison between the 2 as wrestlers. The ENTIRE point was to show that even someone as vastly better as Spencer wouldn’t have come close to winning like he did with such injuries to his hands.

Think hard and try to be better. If you can’t, maybe try to sit these arguments out for a while.

Once politics entered this thread it can't die fast enough. Someone get that session 2 thread started.

Jfc this is a wrestling board. Get that out of here
Sorry, I couldn’t think of a more apt comparison. Even then I am not truly being political. I am not addressing a single talking point. I was simply pointing out how they debate.

I wouldn’t bring up actual political topics and wouldn’t argue them on here if someone did…

I do feel bad for you. How can you not realize how your responses entirely prove my observation?
Dude tell me you live a sexless life by not telling me you do! Bringing up women and democrats like that is cringe. Grow up a little bit bud. This isn’t the 50s anymore.

Where were you when the 2 clowns were putting down the orange man as they call him? Either call out all the political bs or shut the fuc$ up.
I didn’t say orange man. I said glazing an eighty year old man and get the Cheeto dusted nuts out of his mouth. So technically I just said his nuts were orange!

Thanks for proving my season long point. Even IF they wrestle inarguably better than the regular season, none of you Will acknowledge it or change your tune whatsoever.

not surprising…
The only point proven here today is that no matter how bad we suck you will come up with some bullsh*t reason to say how much better we are now. I know it comes as a surprise but on this front I do think you are absolutely full of sh*t.

Want to know how you should know Iowa has fallen. When we start saying “but the other guy wasn't called for stalling!!!" and "but the other guy grabbed a singlet!!!". How about score some f'n points and you don't have to worry about the refs??? What happened to Iowa wrestling??
FIFY.

You guys need Burroughs and Nolf ASAP. Clean house this spring.

I guess it’s just your objective and what you are willing to settle for.

Iowa wrestling reminds me of the movie Little Big League right now where the kid, Billy Haywood, manages the Minnesota twins. There’s a scene where Billy is being told he needs to cut his favorite player, Jerry, because he hasn’t been hitting. And in his last game Jerry gets a hit and Billy is excited and tells his assistant maybe Jerry is back. And the assistant says, “Son. Aren’t you getting a little excited about a seeing eye single?!?”
Just like today when Iowa wrestling squeaks out a 2 to 1 victory with no takedowns!

“Settle” can be a very broad term. I have never been advocating for settling. I just hate the “grass is always greener on the other side” mentality and the crazy fanatic take that we should just be winning because we are supposed to. It negates every single challenge there is to actually make that happen and ignores everything good that has.

Make no mistake. I am fully aware that this has been the worst season under Brands and it hasn’t even been close. However, my main objective has simply been to expose the hypocrisy on this board. Many act like this has been the norm when they have basically destroyed everyone but PSU every single regular season prior.

Again, I don’t think anyone should settle, but the Brands bros deserve way more credit than this board gives and I am still confident they will finish this season way higher than most on here try to paint them as…

Also, I have been heavily critical about their not getting guys to March as healthy as possible and have even called them out for messing up the brick in the Block match. It is very obvious they have their weaknesses. Everyone does. I just think they have way less than most on here like to push…

NO doubt, but if you have the kid in the air, which he did TWOOOO times!!!! It is not easy but you basically BACK ARCH him while cutting off to the waist. NOT sure why you are burning energy lifting if you aren't going to attempt something!?!?!?!?
I think he was trying to attempt something, but he couldn't accomplish it. Think about missing a heavy squat would you just move that way just shy of lockout but you have no more left.

Thank you for digging the hole for me. It makes it much easier for me to put everyone inside and then all I have to do is put the dirt back on top.

It took you long enough, but I like to believe in people and you finally proved you are good for something. Baby steps…

I don’t care about the seeds. I care about the effort and actual wrestling on the mat. With the exception of Voinovich and Gabe wrestling a guy 15% bigger than him, I have zero doubt that Iowa, so far, has wrestled WAY better than they did all season.

I get that the regular season put them into the matches they lost, but those matches were wrestled waaaaay more competitively than they would have been a month or 2 ago…
You're correct. Whet many here don't want to accept is Iowa is more like a top 5 team than a top 2 team.
