PSU - Iowa '26 Match Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Cole scored his takedown off of a scramble initiated by Keuter being in on Cole's leg.
Keuter had hip surgery in the offseason.
Keuter is also inhibited by the room he is stuck in.
Ok my other question is, who is the magic man (not Taylor) who syncs up Byers call and the match. For the good of the collective whole, that man must do it for this match!!!
Lots and lots of air molecules.I always wondered what a "packed Carver Hawkeye Arena" looked like.
It was the local youth club. A bunch of excited 8-10 year old kids enjoying the meet while being interviewed.
You're probably right.
One thing, though, that could swing in Iowa's favor. Ryan went all in on priming his wrestlers for the tourney. Iowa might be better prepared for the next match.
I'm going with your take, though. OSU is just better this year.
I'm not sure if anyone saw early in the match from the lower camera facing the Penn State coaches. Nick Lee got up and yelled some advice to PSU wrestler. He sat down and I'm thinking he thought he may have overstepped his role. He said something to Cael. ,who smiled and gave Nick a pat on his knee to confirm it wasn't an issue . It was something a father figure would do.
Maybe someone can confirm what bout it was.
Maybe someone can confirm what bout it was.
Neither does he.
AF seems like the kind of guy that hates his hair being messed up.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, no.
Unfortunately, because my life is still on hold, so to speak.
Fortunately, because I got to watch the PSU - Iowa dual.
I just got home from reffing all morning/early afternoon. And just before I got home, my son texted to be on hold, as my daughter-in-law was going to the hospital to get checked out, and there was a chance they'd tell her to stay at the hospital as the delivery was pretty close.
Yeah, I saw that.
Nick just got a bit too excited. He hasn't yet assimilated to the calm stoicism exhibited on our bench.
Did you look at Northwestern's lineup?
I hope that Davis wrestles because the Northwestern kid is ranked 32nd.
I saw it too, my take was Cael was like, "relax, we got this."
A few months ago a topic came up on HR about, and I am dead serious "How Ferrari wrestles an exciting style and should score much more bonus this year". I poked a bit saying that it is exciting to drop to a knee and slide back to the edge. The "slappies" that laughed me off are now turning on AF.
Nick was just telling Luke he had 30 seconds left in the 1st and at the same time the stadium announcer repeated the same thing. I think the pat on the back was just slightly sarcastic sence of humor between them.
Hip is safe, but going to take 9-18 months to rebuild pre-injury strength and flexibility. They say 9 months, but 18 to 24 months is much more realistic.
So much agreement, I'm dizzy. Cradle was locked tighter than a Swiss bank vault when our scrappy, all-around utility guy busted out. Redshirt chubby weeks ago, he’ll have over a month to get tuned for March. Nasir’s no slouch, just happened to get the TD before both ships found the doldrums. Looking forward to a B1G’s rematch on home ice.
Saw that too. Patted him on the knee then the back.
General Patton invented that technique 80 years ago!
Be careful. Don’t scare that guy away. His posts read a lot like Spyker. If he has returned under a different name, I want to see more posts, not less.
you can tell it was a big match... Cael was standing much more than he usually does.
The problem with a 5 count is Angelo went to his knee 32 times. What needs to happen is the third time he goes to his knee it is a stall call.
The ref also should have hit him with a stall for his lazy walk getting back to the center to restart.

Yet Ben was sent out to toe the line, and Kennedy was denied the chance to compete. Brilliant
As long as it cost $, I’m glad to have someone transplant reports about Hawk tears over here!
Those were crickets
Funny is one description, but not the word I would use To add, it wasn't the cleanest week for AJ either, 99.9% would keep a lower profile.
Then he is doing the splits after a zero takedown, win due to a riding time one point decision. Far from anything to celebrate.
AJ is a narcissistic stooge.
I thought he would walk through the heavyweight division this season, not so! He is not a very impressive wrestler. He peaked as a freshman.
I think AJ has a problem very similar to ADS - impulse control. He might be wired a little differently than we think.
Didn't Cael toss a chair early on? Live and lean. Yeah, the funny thing is, on the mat with headgear, especially somewhere like Carver, you can't hear anything over the crowd noise. Just hearing the ref can be a challenge.
TnT go through their hystrionics every match every dual. You see all these coaches yelling things to the kids and it's all in vain. Unless you can make eye contact, the kid is on his own. I think that is Cael's philosophy. Trust the training. We have done all the prep, it's now in your hands.
Throat slash? Classless but expected. His coach tried to grab him before he made an even bigger a$$ of himself. That failed miserably. But as coach Manning says......"18-23 yr. olds make mistakes" I guess he is saying AJ should have stopped his ridiculous behavior years ago.
Yeah, I thought it odd Angelo got hit with the stall in the 1st, and then was given a pass the rest of the way. Several opportunities, for a second or third stall call IMO
