I'm glad you quoted the post or I would have thought you were referring to the picture that District4 posted.
All this joking about every bout being 8-2…
If they were watching our match from earlier this evening, they would be joking about 20-5!
Omg that’s like saying Myles Martin was 51-49 with Bo because he beat him in NC finals and at big 10 once and had a few other close match’s.
Having a hard time remembering a hawk that didn’t regress the final year.
Posting a picture like this should not be allowed. Why would anyone read any further?
My wife watches with me. I'm glad she is smart enough to realize that if my *** is parked in the chair, I'm in housecat mode, not sitting in bar or worse alley-catting.
Hah! I wish your wife would talk to mine. She acts like watching wrestling is no different than going out to strip clubs!
4 total takedowns for Iowa tonight. For such a storied program, they continually reach new lows. As much as we hate on them, wrestling is better with a strong Iowa. Ohio State showed us nothing tonight. They must have forgotten their robes.
That last TD attempt by Ayala illustrates for me the difference between Iowa coaching and Penn State coaching. Ayala had 17 seconds to take his time and get the winning TD. He could have shelved Davino's leg and would have had a good chance to methodically work his way to the TD. Instead, he rushed the position and stood up with the leg, allowing Davino to roll through, tie up Ayala's leg and hold on until the end of the period. I may be a homer, but I believe Marcus would have converted the TD in that situation.
That decision’s a head scratcher. Giving Bouzakis the extra hour following weigh in made no sense at all.
I think Marcus is up by 6 points based on what we saw tonight.
The B1G Network Ben Kueter hype video has been put in permanent storage.
Lol hell I said it was the right call . And you guys say I'm an Iowa fanthe Arnold match made no difference. Quit crying, Corby!
Iowa didn't allow Bousakis to have extra time. Ohio st won the coin flip and picked 157
And he never had to deal with Nick.
I could never be one of those guys ogling girls almost young enough to be a granddaughter, but if I lost my mind and went to one, I'd be served papers.
Of course, she's just happy I stopped saying " I'm headed West for tornado tourism some year" after storm chaser Tim Samaras was killed.
I have to wonder if Bouzakis will be ready for next week? My other question is, are they going to run Cannon out there for his first match in 2 months against PJ Duke? Actually I got another question, I am starting to think Paddy is out now and they might go with the freshman? Frankly it's irrelevant for next week and basically every time out against PSU at 165 but do they actually think they get a point more out of the freshman at Nationals?
That Bouzakis injury looked bad, real bad, and he threw his head gear on the mat after an assistant tried to ask him if he was ok. I don't really know if he is "ok", but they might send him out on one leg figuring he can still pin or tech any of the guys from 16 to 33 seed wise. Strategy wise, history shows that if a move needs made one way or another, you can count on Ryan to make the wrong one

He faded in the 3rd badly either way. This is going to be an issue for him on the 2nd day in Cleveland.
Just think how bad they are going to be after Caliendo and Kennedy are gone. Arnold has no offense, Ayala is going backwards, Keiter isn't developing. Slumlord Bob poaching the Little Rock guys didn't help, Ferrari's big weapon is doing splits like a cheerleader..
Ayala is gone after this year as well
Him winning the big 10s will be important. That would mean his toughest match off the scale would be 8/9 seed in the 1/4. Semis at night he's gonna be big. And if he makes the finals Sat night he will be big. Where he's seeded will be huge for him
The media is already laying the groundwork to not give a PSU wrestler the Hodge. You can see it building for Mendez. I’m not saying he isn’t a viable candidate, but you can tell they will use the “career” argument and say “Messenbrink can win it next year “. Then they will reward a 1 year wonder in 2027 and somehow Messenbrink will end up a top 5 all timer and no Hodge. Ever since Zain’s sophomore year screw job, and then Lee getting 2 shares he had no business receiving, I refuse to get upset about it anymore. As long as we keep destroying the team race, I’m happy. But it is funny to see the politicking starting to build.
Yes and no. It's matchups. Spratley could pose problems and he might end up the 8 seed. So could Robinson.
I am guessing here but that looked an awful lot like an oblique injury. His leg was blown fully from ankle to knee and it might have torn an oblique. I keep thinking about that headgear slam.... whatever it is, it's no small thing.
It's close but Brink has 3 more falls and all wins by major or better. Mendez has 2 regular decisions.
Honestly that would suck. Hate injuries for any team.
165 is also a better weight then 141. I wouldn't be so paranoid
I don't see either of those guys being an 8/9. Steve O / Provo type of guy probably
This was on the other site before it shut down, but I called Mendez being a 3-timer before his Sophomore season. He isn’t getting beaten this year. Love both Desmond and Scooter, but they aren’t beating him, nor is anyone else. Glad he is done with college after this season.
PSU has potentially their best team ever, we lose Levi and one can argue we might just be even better next year.
Iowa has their worst team in memory, they lose several of their hammers, and it's likely without a portal bonanza in the off season they will be even worse next year.
The times they are a changing.
