What’s the over/under win total against PSU Friday??
- Thread starter BringBackBradBanks
- Start date
I think we win 2 matches if we wrestle well. That alone should cost all of the coaches their jobs.
PSU does that to every team. Why should the Iowa staff be punished?
I think that Brands sends Sampson out at 197 with the following instructions (this isn't an insult, I think it would be a solid strategy)
Flo has us losing 30-6 with wins at 84 and heavy. Definitely need to make a few changes to our program if we lose this bad 3 years in a row…
Because we’re Iowa and not “every team.”
We definitely have an opportunity to shine! Hope our men show up to fight!
He is a Hawk fan but also realistic. Still think Ben wins too.
Unclear to me why the PSU trolls are laughing at this. Expectations should absolutely be higher at Iowa than at most every other school
how long will Tom's post meet presser be? My guess is under 4 minutes with 6 interrupted questions.
The press will only ask questions about guys that did well and Tom will scan the crowd with wide eyes at least 8 times.

Sadly we deserve it. Aside from a select few, our team has been wrestling like they are trying to survive 7 minutes instead of trying to score and eventually win in 7 minutes.
If he wrestles like he normally does and loses I would not be disappointed if they show him the door. I'd rather watch someone who gives a sh*t and loses than watch what Bailey has been putting on the mat most of the outings.
Black Shoe Diaries is predicting a score of 25-10. They have a hell of a lot more confidence in Bailey than I do; I hope they're right.
I think it probably depends how it goes and what is happening behind the scenes. We don’t know if there is an injury or it’s something else causing the issues.
One thing I just noticed about the dual tonight but if things go chalk and PSU wins every match except 184 and HWT then I believe the higher ranked recruit will win at every single weight.
Just thought that was interesting

that is the current spread on DK.
Basch predicted PSU in every match although qualifying it with saying that there are enough close calls that he definitely doesn't actually expect them to win every one and Iowa will probably pull out 2 somewhere along the line.
Be careful with that thought - all of the PSU enthusiasts will take issue that Cael is not considered the great developer of talent.
They can interpret however they want. He’s a great coach and great recruiter. If anything it says a lot about how accurate recruiting rankings are. Props to @WillieTheBrain
Bailey was higher ranked than Davis and Kennedy was higher ranked than Haines
How Bob & TnT decided Mo was the one to stop paying out of all the NIL transfers is mind boggling. He should have been the last one who had his funds pulled.
i don’t expect much tonight. A few questions i hope to see answered
125 is he on the same level still or was that win a fluke
133 where’s ayala at right now
141 Bailey wrestle? Does Bailey wrestle or just take up space for a few minutes
149 just another tough test for a young stud
157 What Williams is showing up
165 Can he beat him?
174 PK get a big carver moment
184 His defense is elite, can we score more
197 Is what it is
HWT Everyone is so confident in BK here, really needs to find offense against ranked competition

I'm thinking more of something like 27-630-3 type loss?
Take the PSU laying 25 on Circa and you have a nice arb. You can't lose, but you can win both with a 26 point margin.
WRT 84, when it’s this level of competition I don’t give a rat’s *** what he scores as long as he wins. Love this kid and pray he doesn’t ever bail on us!!!
I agree, I just hate in march when one misstep can change a whole season. I’d love him to get a takedown early and wrestle there constantly.
So, not only is there the grief of being right about it would be the worst defeat in our history, there is also my predictions for the only two wins not happening.
From what I can find through Grok, this was the worst loss since the 1965-66 season when Oklahoma beat Iowa 39-0.
