PSU - Iowa '26 Match Thread

Yeah, they seem to be in disarray. If they still had Endine, just send Arnold out at 84, not much harm given Angelo's propensity to score points.

If Angelo ever gets a sore knee and is forced to stay standing, he might score more points.

My older brother used to get water on the knee semi frequently from wrestling and needed to have it drained. That seemed to be a thing years ago, but I don't hear about it anymore. A bit gross, the fluid would pretty much slosh around in there like a water balloon. Trust me, when it was drained it wasn't just water, yuck.

I think the issue with Endene was that he wasn't anywhere close to ready to come back in his mind (and in consultation with his doctors) and was considering shutting it down and applying for a medical for this season, and Tom and Slumlord Millionaire disagreed that that was what they paid for. If that's the case, then he wouldn't have been an option for this weekend anyway.

But I certainly don't disagree with your general statement that they seem to be in disarray. LOL.

I used to hate watching Marinelli’s weird wife stomp around by the Iowanker bench like some sort of butch-lesbo drill sergeant. Move on, hag

Nick Fuentes? Is that you? Lol

Taking the last syringe of fluid out always felt like my knee was being turned inside out!

This is interesting, I was just reading through this thread and catching up on the comments here.

So I’m a teacher and showed the match today to that point and paused it, and asked the kids what their perceptions were. I explained a bit about the two wrestlers and their history, and then we talked about the mindset of someone like MM and how that can be applied in the classroom and life. After that I showed the last ten seconds and the takedown to an MD and asked the same questions.

I commented on Youtube too, my guess is that MM will be the next head coach at Penn State for the same reasons. I have no idea how good he is with certain managerial things, but his mind is the best I’ve ever seen.

This was good stuff!

Did MC he close the gap over those few days?

MM has the pedigree to be a great coach.

I’m sure this is a big reason why he’s Askren’s star pupil, and Cael’s. They both take a very cerebral approach to preparation and technique and practice and weight management and everything else about modern wrestling.

It’s really ironic and a shame that his only college loss is going to end up being due to a brain fart.
