<insert: confused look gif> for when fellow Iowa wrestling fan doesn't realize that the backup just lost by one to the #4 ranked wrestler.

Everyone realizes who Young lost to - Iowa needs to have guys that are top 2/3 or better. Iowa can't piss away 125 / 133 for zero ncaa points and expect a guy at 165 to get 5 NCAA points and all is good.

Weird that you complain about 165, where our better wrestler didn't go. But nothing for 141 who lost to an unranked guy?

Is the point here that our back up was good enough to almost beat the #4 wrestler or that our #1 is not much better and the result would have been the same whether we threw out Young or Marinelli?

My biggest frustration is winning by 10-14 points. Let it go make tings happen. Get the tech or maybe even fall. Major dec are ok but work hard to create more bonus points.

Problem with that is you risk some chance of giving up a pin ala Rohn. If you want to try to shoot low risk low leg shots to catch tf At end, fine. But, don't go crazy and risk a stupid mistake when you already have 4 locked up.

With Young, a little experience and he should be getting out at end of first instead of being rode out. That happens and it goes to OT. Should be that much better by end of year if he is still the guy.

I'm pretty sure you're trolling, no way you can be serious right? Well if you are you are an absolute moran. Our backup did a great job against the #4 ranked wrestler. Bodes very well for the Bull!
