Was watching the handshakes at the end, I didn't see Angelo shake hands but they cut it off early.
Anyone at the match notice? I'm probably wrong, just curious.

PSU - Iowa '26 Match Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
It's not the largest margin between the two teams...it's the worst beating Iowa has ever taken at Carver. Ever. And I don't really think we were actually 100 percent with the late flight in.
Had the Ref called stalling like that Caliendo would have been DQ'ed for stalling. Also, Mirasola's first stall call was complete bs as Keuter [sp?] walked off the mat - it isn't the top wrestler's responsibility to keep the bottom wrestler on the mat. Keuter clearly walked forward off the mat of his own volition trying to get separation from Mirasola - that was a bs call.
The Ref also called a number of bs cautions (and non-cautions - saying, that one is on me....). He kept telling the wrestlers to "slow it down" which is horsecrap instruction - the bottom wrestler is supposed to put his arm around bottom wrestler's waist first and Ref is supposed to blow whistle as soon as top wrestler's second hand touches bottom wrestler's elbow (and bottom wrestler is permitted to go as soon as he feels the hand touch - i.e., not a caution if the bottom wrestler goes as soon as top wrestler touches elbow and movement is simultaneous with Ref's whistle.). But pure bs to tell the wrestler's to slow their starts - tell them to make sure they're legal starts, but they shouldn't have to slow-down from a legal start - that's absurd instruction.

He must have been trained by the lot lizards. Nobody else spends that much time on their knees.
And let's write this down: Williams gets no closer to Duke from here on in: Duke should have had 2 more takedowns and that potentially dangerous call was BS
LOL. I needed a good laugh.
You really do not know the rules in college, and also do not know referee technique, and what the ref was instructing the wrestlers.
Sunshine Spyker, you are the gift who keeps on giving!
Agree. Good post a observation. They will meet again in the BJC and Blaze better be ready. Ayala is very good and 133 is loaded. I don’t know if anyone can beat Lucas Byrd from Illinois. Will see at the BJC. Gonna be so fun watching Live.
As I said Davis will make the adjustments in March and wrestle better in neutral and win the match on the mat, this tonight was a perfect storm for Bailey...he caught Davis early, had a cradle locked up for a minute which gave him a point that Davis needed to be 3-3, then ran for 2 minutes against the version of Davis that has 2 weeks of competition in him instead of 2 months. Disregard this result, it was Carver
Do you know when did both teams get dinged for stalling? We had stall calls but we were ahead.
I think Davis learned a lot. The young guy doesn't quit. He's our 141
I just posted what Byers said, and I presume he had the match stats in front of him.
You could be right -- I'd have to go back and check.
The official did the right thing stopping the action there. It was a dangerous situation for Williams. The ref’s priority is the safety of the competitors.
Write up when I get home. ******* epic experience 
For minny vs Nebraska? No, sorry. I just have it on in the background but am not paying at too much. I'll say This kid hokcaday is giving vaumbauer all he can handle.
Lilledahl wasn’t taken down once. Iowa’s takedowns came at 141 and 149.
Cole didn't sell it very well. Had he feigned some intention of staying on the mat I doubt he gets called for stalling there. It was just a bad visual and kinda' put the official on the spot if he ignored it.
It was even better before they deleted the comments
Iowa had 1 TD at 141 and 1 at 149
I gotta give Christian Pyles credit. Dude was confident all week picking Mirasola straight up over Ben. I picked Keuter and glad I was wrong.
The
VITAL thing for Blaze is that he meets Byrd at the BJC so he can get a feel for him: The one and only way Byrd can beat him is to big brother him the same way O'Conner beat Levi a few years ago. Marcus needs to get his feel so that he lays out a good match plan in Cleveland. They'll probably meet two times and I always said if Levi would have met O'Connor just one time before that final he would have beat him. For example if Marcus takes down and then can't get out inside a minute, then take neutral at National
On a different note, I loved the ref tonight. One or two mishaps but overall very solid.
every time he called stalling (either a mandatory call like backing out, or walking the bottom guy out, etc.) or the discretionary calls (not enough action), I agreed with him. The mandatory calls are easy to understand once you understand the rules. The discretionary calls he made were the same ones I would have made, at pretty much the same time I would have made them.
Yes 2 141 one 149, I believe. yes you are Correct thanks, Luke majored peterson, gave up no takedowns
