Crazy that Sakamoto’s first match could be in Iowa.

If it happens.. I think it derails bigly. No Japanese wrestler has wrestled in that environment… and it’s his first folkstylr match? He’s gonna gas SOOOOO BAD.

Why didn't anyone tell DT and Gilman that? Can someone go tell them that internet warriors are against it?

Cody Merrill and Konnor Doucet also weighed in. Interesting. Maybe to protect Surber's seed? Not sure what scenario we would use KD

This is so weird in the biggest dual of the year and in the toughest place to wrestle we may wrestle our true freshmen. I would not mind it but why did we not do this in an easier dual first.

Riiiiiight. Because wrestling in the room is the same thing as wrestling at Carver - in your first folk match EVER.

Hell. Look at what a big environment did to Lilledahl. Or your first college match like Sealey? Or mark hall’s first match out of redshirt.

Just saying, history shows us this is not going to go well. And Ayala ain’t exactly some easy out.

Hey. I could be wrong. But I freaking doubt it.

Does anyone know where I can see what everyone weighed in at? Basch tweeted that Hendrickson was 261.2 and Kueter was 234.8. Would like to see others

I don’t know DTs overall mindset like the Penn State guys do and the big time OSU wrestling fans do, but I have to believe he is gonna throw everything including the kitchen sink to try and make a statement to the Hawks!! He’s been planning this matchup, in his head, with his coaches for a long time!! He knows if can get his team
To leapfrog the mighty Hawkeyes, that leaves only 1 mountain to attain to paradise!!! Be prepared for a junkyard brawl! Their best against our best to say to Penn State, “we’re your huckleberry”!! And you’re next!! We’re coming for ya amd hell is coming with us!! Now let’s go rip their hearts and souls out and leave NO DOUBT about who was ready to take everything they have and want…. It’s our time, it’s Poke time, Let’s Riiiiide!!!!

Iowa so far has had little offense in neutral they just wrestle so defensively and look to counter.
