One question that still remains. Did Alton score a fall on that throw? Some people think he did but the ref was too slow to look. If Alton had been awarded the pin, it would’ve been a 9 point reversal in team score, and Iowa would have gotten their first taste of things to come. (No matter because that which is inevitable, is inevitable.)

Hilarious, SRATH! By the way, are you related to the mome raths? And do you also outgrabe? 😀
Don't think so............:D

I thought Alton had the pin.......Alton Brother throws were typically really quick so a ref might be out of position.

Admittedly I wear blue and white tinted glasses, but Marion definitely looked pinned to me.
When the pin wasn't called I knew Andrew was in trouble.
This match was still a tell. It appeared as though Iowa had an Iowa gas tank and PSU was still struggling with conditioning, relative to Iowa's.
It was enough of a perceived issue that Cael felt compelled to mention; it did not look like it, but we are in shape. (No quotes because what he said was something close to that). Like anything else, Cael and staff learned.

No negative energy, just great memories. In the early days, both my boys and my father would go to a match....take the kids out of school on a Friday. Skip church on a Sunday....the minister is a wrestling fan so it wasn't a big deal.

Oldest is married and doesn't live close enough. Pop lives with us but at 94, is just too old to travel effectively. Youngest works on Saturday so on a night like tonight, we would not get home until almost 2 am.......so TV is the best we can do.

I feel so blessed to have been able to share these experiences with my family and to be even a very small part of this amazing time in PSU Wrestling.

Threads like this answer the question who is your biggest rival. In fact I don't know many threads don't eventually work Iowa bashing into it somehow no matter how off topic it started. Like clockwork around these parts.

Threads like this show that Iowa is our biggest punching bag and floormat and former rival. They are not a current rival. 😀

Yeah everyone else we would stop kicking when they’re down!
