It's not his fault. You wanna place blame, go all the way back to 125/133
The team result isn't his fault but there is still zero excuses for being pinned in a one armed navy tilt. That's even more pathetic than being pinned in a 2 on 1 tilt which is embarrassing to anyone not in little league..

That Ayala match perfectly exemplifies why this needs to be the final year for TnT.
Jax is a stud but if that's the development, effort and intensity level of a team leader/5th year senior, then you simply aren't doing your job to the level needed.
It's time. Period.
But but but they're all injured...........

To understand the story here, just look at their top guys vs our top guys more than the actual match ups on the mat. So much more dynamic and technically advanced.

Guys like Ayala and PK are great. They’re fighting with rifles compared to the machine guns that DT equips his guys with. They can score in any position. They can pin you from any position.

He's not a good wrestler. He probably shouldn't even have been thrown out there.

Gage Marty getting pinned is concern #979 with the program rn

Okie State with 3 pins and a tech. 11 bonus points. Matches Iowa's total points. Every time I think you can't post something crazier about this year, the team says hold my beer.
I am pissed about Iowa's performance and want change, but those 3 pins were vs backups lol. Okie State's one backup who wrestled was teched by our 18th ranked guy.

You hawk fans will know better than me. I believe this is the most dual losses in a season for Iowa since at least before Dan Gable took over.
No.

1967 Dave McCuskey "led" Iowa to a 7-8 dual record. Iowa would build towards becoming a powerhouse program shortly after that and wouldn't lose more than 5 duals in a year again until Jim Zalesky saw Iowa go 11-7 back in 2006. Tom Brands took over the following year.

So Iowa's 12-6 dual record this season is their worst in only 20 years.

Fair enough, but its Iowa. Wrestletown. The point I was making was that this year has had alot. Loss to Iowa State. Historically bad loss to Penn State. 6 Dual losses?!?! As a whole, its kinda crazy.

Thank you and I apologize for getting that wrong. There are two or three years where Hawkeye online has incomplete data for Iowa dual seasons and that's one of them. They have it 4-2. Which makes no sense obviously.ha
