National Duals, '25, thread

[AriesRam]

Was hoping for a stall out but the tech fall was nice. I could be wrong but I don’t think Iowa is going to win this dual.

 

[Misalorales]

Ethan stiles is either going to dominate block or do some really bonehead crap and get beat. He doesn't seem to live anywhere in-between those extremese

 

[FrankTanks]

OSU has flat out dominated this tournament. They have several wrestlers who have made a big jump this year.

 

[Nitlion1986]

Hawk fans have to be in disbelief at the shellacking they’re taking.

They are working hard to explain how this is indicative of PSU's downfall.

 

[JA1339]

TNT going to make the team jog back to Iowa City.

 

[o_Grass]

Bailey better have cashed those checks.

 

[mcpat]

Makes sense now how much Ryan wanted this. Evidently Ohio State is really good before they practice all season.

 

[golfer1922]

Iowa has more stall calls than takedowns after 141 lb match.
who is surprised?

#2 Nebraska’s last two duals were 33-3 and 33-6 losses. Maybe Manning should worry more about his own team showing up than mouthing off about Cael and Penn State.

Manning may need to start worrying about his job soon. Jordan Burroughs quietly licking his chops somewhere?

For kicks, I did a google search of Manning's contract status but didn't use his name. Here's google AI's enlightening response:

 

[rainierelbert]

Iowa is not the best team in their own state. Right now, I'll bet Iowa State wins in both the dual and tournament.

 

[dicemen99]

@mcpat if it’s any consolation, I leaned Iowa as well.

That was a fail.

Brands on the mat during a match.....

Imagine what PSU athletic department gonna do with ticket prices for the Buckeye dual!

Naw. Bob still has them convinced the field is being leveled..

 

[An Old Pair of Asics]

14-0 Ohio State thru three matches. Ouch.

4 matches in and no takedowns yet

 

[Headlock]

TNT going to make the team jog back to Iowa City.

They could stall, I mean balk about that.

 

[AgSurfer]

JTSTL - I think there’s another message board that would appreciate your live action commentary right now.

 

[LemonPie]

Arena looks empty

Good lord. Completely cleared out with Okie St loss

 

[RockySmith]

“Iowa style” isn’t working. Got to be within a pt to win on push-out stall calls

Still waiting for Iowa to score a TD. 3 total points scored In 3.5 matches?

 

[Nitlion1986]

@mcpat if it’s any consolation, I leaned Iowa as well.

That was a fail.

To be fair, OSU has a history of being a little weak from a cardiovascular standpoint at the beginning of the year and get stronger as the year goes along. Assuming Iowa's conditioning and toughness would prevail was a legitimate thought.
Difference this year versus others is OSU's conditioning seems elite for so early. It is fairly obvious Ryan put a premium on preparing for this event. The other difference is OSU has more elite kids.

 

[Ruby Tues]

First three matches were great then you get this, this is a snooze fest…

OK now it’s getting interesting

 

[An Old Pair of Asics]

4 matches completed. 0 Iowa TDs.

 

[amattaro]

TanTom gonna cap off his goofiness by forfeiting once they clinch the win.

 

[Tryingtodoitright]

I’m actually kind of enjoying this finals meet

 

[Nitlion1986]

Yep, Iowa has another finalist at 149.

 

[mcpat]

After four matches, Iowa still doesn’t have a TD.

He’s still trying to decide which of the 72 usernames to use.

 

[The Pitchfork Rebel]

Has Iowa ever been blanked?

 

[AgSurfer]

Love the commercial with Smith and Gable!

If you want icing on that cake, visit HR afterwards ;-)

 

[FrankTanks]

Cannon is going to destroy Williams

 

[Nitlion1986]

I liked that commerical, a lot.

 

[Goggles Paisano]

Calliendo and Ferrari 'should' deliver. Hearing there may be a forfeit at Heavy

 

[jmadden1998]

Cannon is going to destroy Williams

Williams isn't wrestling.

 

[Nitlion1986]

Iowa wins 197.

 

[LemonPie]

Hawkeyes throwing in the towel

 

[FrankTanks]

Williams isn't wrestling.

Good lord.

I’m sure he uses an Authenticator App to make his pick for him

“Best lightweight room in the country” …. Just saying
