He's never been a house afire. Maybe he's under the weather, I don't know. I'm not surprised by his performance, but if some are that's OK. If something is ailing him I sure hope he gets it fixed and pronto.While I don't agree, I think this is fair. Something clearly is wrong maybe it is an injury. Then this makes sense. I'm fully buying into an illness as this has been going on for a while. Regardless how weak Midlands has become, you don't win it with what Cash has been displaying lately. He has shown to be much better (even up a weight).
I do recall a time when Brands was wrestling and turned to the Michigan bench and gave them the "i broke him" hand gesture. So.....
Is something wrong with BS? He's looking uncomfortably like McD and DSJ in their last couple of matches.4-3 final for Sorenson
Sorry I’m late to the conversation, but fatigue from flu can linger on for a few weeks. I’ve had it twice in my life and it’s amazing how much it can sap your energy Don’t have any way of knowing if that’s the explanation here, but it’s possible that’s why he looks, shall we say, uninspired.I'm not agreeing with it, but looking for explanations. This is not the same Cash from last year or earlier this year.

Wait...what? We brag about 125 and 133. I’m pretty sure Lee won his match and we have a guy who never won a state title at 133.
No you don't. Bye's are random though so no-one is favored. Purdue had several 1st round byes. But yes I think you get credit for a rd 1 win if you win in rd 2 and had a bye.Do you get team points for a first round bye?
Really inspiring performance so far. From Lee and Kemerer. The rest might as well have stayed home
Agreed, Sorensen wants to wrestle from his ties, not space. Bannister is not that kind of matchup.I think he was just frustrated by Bannister's style. He is like a mix between a fire hydrant and Ronnie Bresser.
But he didn't look great against Deakin or Degen either. Understand that Deakin is the real deal tho.I think he was just frustrated by Bannister's style. He is like a mix between a fire hydrant and Ronnie Bresser.
Just went 0-2 at one of the weights we tell everyone we have the best room for.
Nope. They both wanted it. Great match!Came down to who wanted it the most. Massa did.
Strong agreement here.If it's the flu, he's had it for a couple months. IMO Wilcke just ain't into it.
I'd almost prefer we go to the NCAA with just our core get-after-it wrestlers. It's demoralizing to the coaches, wrestlers, and fans to watch this going through the motions crap.
There is no other consistent top 10 team ranked squad that wrestles so timid, and so below expectations, as Iowa in March. I know I will get blasted by some, but I don't care: In my mind, Brands has one more year to improve this team or we need a new coach to the program that brings new energy and new ideas.
Not to be rebuilding, like ever. Those are my expectations, others may be different.Brands can not wrestle for them. The guys with talent are not timid the ones who don't are. There is no other coach around who we could get that I would take over Brands. This is a rebuild year, what expectations were you expecting?
Who recruits those that are out there?Brands can not wrestle for them. The guys with talent are not timid the ones who don't are. There is no other coach around who we could get that I would take over Brands. This is a rebuild year, what expectations were you expecting?
I have been pleasantly surprised by Alex Marinelli this year. He's been outstanding. Based on what little I saw of him last year, I wasn't expecting near what he has given us this year. Kid is a warrior and a battler, and that's what we as fans typically ask for. Well guess what, we got it. He needs to clean some things up, but "want-to" is not one of them.Nope. They both wanted it. Great match!
Massa has his tank back and was able to finish. It came down to Massa being a better scrambler. Marinelli pushed the pace and just needs to figure out how to finish more of those leg attacks. Again, Great Match!
It would be different if we had won some national championships lately. Like with Penn State, they had one down year, rebuilding to go on a tear.Not to be rebuilding, like ever. Those are my expectations, others may be different.
Exactly, he has surprised me. With Massa, there were just a couple real boneheaded decisions that cost him that match. He'll fix that.I have been pleasantly surprised by Alex Marinelli this year.

He absolutely has the ability to beat anyone in this weight class, which to me is an amazing feat given the top end strength of this weight class (and I think IMar is great, even if he isn't the Defending Champion, but Alex is no chump, so he's got a punchers chance for sure). I did not and do not expect him to win a National Championship this year, but I'm glad to see he's got the goods to do so if the chips fall his way, this year and moving forward.
He had strep.Glynn gets to teh leg and then stops.
Here's another one. at 1:34 no crackdown. no finish.
Bobby likes people with 2 or 3 B's in their names.
Bobby is boosting the ratings- according to BT.
Pepple gets a leg and Ironside and Bobby fighting over whether he is in trouble or not.Glynn cannot fight it
TD and ride out
0-2
End of 1.
So do you, and if you keep sucking really good the guys will keep letting you.Iowa athletics suck.
Ummmm, yeah.....It's kind of a requirement.The way some of you rag on these kids I hope you were all undefeated four timers who are now married to supermodels.
Brands can not wrestle for them. The guys with talent are not timid the ones who don't are. There is no other coach around who we could get that I would take over Brands. This is a rebuild year, what expectations were you expecting?
JFC what a stupid thing to post after Marinelli's match. It was a great matchup between two top level wrestlers.
Christ sometimes the other guy wrestles hard and wins too you know? It wasn't like Marinelli just quit after going down 5-1. Please stop watching the sport if you're so upset about an overtime battle against the returning NCAA 3rd place finisher.
33, 74, 84 and 97 are straight garbage and their effort this weekend is offensive to me as life-long Iowa wrestling fan but the other six guys are out there battling.
I'm hoping Marinelli gets Massa again. I'm hoping the Bull kicks Massa's ass, shakes his hand and walks off the mat.We still got a shot of Lee, Sorenson, Kem and Stoll for finals. Marinelli loss was tough but hopefully he gets a rematch for 3rd which is huge with that loaded weight. If ya win Bull just shake hand and walk off like taking care of business. I still think Bull has a good shot at NCAA champ this year.
Baseball Team is 7-1, on the way to 8-1 leading after 5. even with the big slugger from last season missingOK, throw Marinelli in there, but hoping to battle for a title and losing out of the gate to the 7 seed is definitely hugely disappointing on paper. I’m 38, and this is one of the worst Iowa teams I have ever seen in my lifetime (maybe a team during Zalesky era), and throw it on top of one of the worst basketball seasons in my lifetime, and the only positive from this sports year was an average football season.
Ugghhh. I know he doesn’t play the games or wrestle the matches, but how Barta keeps his high paying job at Iowa with such crap results is beyond me...

Imagine what it'd be like if Warner wrestled and PDIII was onboard? lol had to do that. eace'n'cheersImagine how frustrating this year would be if Spencer Lee kept his redshirt..
With all due respect, this team is far from the worst Iowa wrestling team in your lifetime.OK, throw Marinelli in there, but hoping to battle for a title and losing out of the gate to the 7 seed is definitely hugely disappointing on paper.

What do you meanI'm on page 11. Just to have to say Bull will beat Massa tomorrow, just to shut you people up!
