You must know something, care to share with the rest of us?
It’s not something it’s someone. And his name is vodka.
Nut up fellas. It wasn't the way we hoped it would go. Watch to the end. Cheer on every Iowa match as if it matters, because it does to them. No one woke up hoping to lose.
On the injury debate: I think it was Jake Herbert (could be wrong) went to train in Russia for a summer and he made some striking observations. He said they don't wrestle live for 20-30 min at a time, EVER. They only wrestle live for the duration of a period. He mentioned that his discussions with them led him to believe this was a better approach. He suggested it could result in fewer injuries (in his opinion) and that it dialed in a more accurate sense of urgency during matches. Take it for what it's worth.

Well, we would not have won three in a row because if we won in 2020 because all of this year’s seniors would be gone. We could have won two consecutive years, and now we would just be bitching about the drop in talent this year.

that looked like a 3 count to me.
I think Deprez broke his hand / leg hold while Dean maintained control, just before Deprez bellied over and adjusted his leg hold.
I think the evidence that most training should be at lower intensity is pretty strong. There's a concept that most training should be done at an "endurance" pace. This is your base building base and is 40-60% of your max output. Then you need to have periodic pulses of higher intensity.
I think if you want to develop more skills you need to focus on lighter intensity for the majority of your training. The primary way to get better at a new skill is repetition in lower stake settings. If everything is high intensity high stakes you are going to be reluctant to try new things. Obviously you need to pressure test at times.
Anyways I can't speak to Iowa's training maybe this is what they are doing?
Yes. I suspect we grind too much in the practice room, which would explain why we are burnt out and injured every March.
This is a pattern, and it’s not happening from the handful of matches they wrestle.
I appreciate your response and I do understand your perspective. I was simply trying to explain to you how limited his offense is now against the really good guys and it honestly has nothing to do with his effort. His top opponents have simply taken away what he does best and forced a guy who doesn’t take low percentage risks into either doing so or “looking” like he isn’t trying to attack.
i truly try to be a student of the sport and watch the little things and I am positive this isn’t about Marinelli not Opening up and trying to score. It is simply him not being able to get to his offense because his opponents won’t engage in those positions.

Whatever it was happened at 1:07 left in the period. Because that is what they set the clock to for the restart.
27 years?!? From someone going on 20 I say don't do it!
Then you force your opponent into positions you want to be in and can score from... that is if you're the better wrestler. That was the Iowa way for decades and it's what psu has been doing now for awhile. They're FAR more adaptable and it's why they perform better in tourneys like this where they face multiple styles. We took a step forward and changed some recruiting tactics a few years ago, it's time to do the same with versatile style training as well as advanced S&C.
I was being dramatic. Nothing is worth drinking again. Congrats on the 20!
You need educated on many, many things.
Go get a buddy that's roughly 10-15 pounds heavier than you, tear your labrum so your shoulder has no stability, and then try pulling his leg in.
Report your findings back to the cesspool.
You never know...just trying to lend a helping hand, or as close as possible in the cesspool
Agree. 34 for me. But I went for 3 bowls of ice cream to soothe my misery today. I think the Hawk's struggles today might have garnered us a few of potential 'recruits' though. 🙂
But we never reverse results from the regular season (except for losing matches that we won previously).
And all our guys underperform year in and year out. How can this be?!
Respect your direction as well. I’m a guy on a computer - no sense being a bigger d here than I am in person 🤓
Burroughs let it fly in folk!!! And freestyle. But as he got older not so much. I appreciate his style tho
Nothing Meaningful strikes again!
Hey how'd Vito do? Man it's kind of disappointing to know Spencer would've only gotten 4th this year, seeing as how Vito is clearly better than him.
Do you ever contribute anything of meaning? The only thing that Murin did against Yianni was grab, push, and interlock fingers. As someone here pointed out, he wrestled to not lose too badly. What's the point of that? Keep Cornell from getting any bonus points?
And, clown, I never said that Vito would have beaten Spencer. I said that the Vito at the Florida duals would have beaten the Spencer at the Florida duals (you can look it up), and in hindsight I'd have been correct. So stop making up s***.
