Oh don't you remember the glory days of Sam hitting super ducks, cement mixers and backflipping out of singles? For real tho, the guys has always had a very limited arsenal of attacks. His injury didn't really change that although I'm sure it has some effect.Wait... what?
I understand the frustration level. I really do. Little to no offensive scoring, close loses, questionable match tactics. But holy hell people. Over 62000 views of Hawk fans trashing our wrestlers, coaches, Todd Conner. Hell, even a MSU fan tried to give some perspective and change the narrative of the thread and they were met with calls of BS. Spencer dominated and gets a whopping 3 positive posts. Little to nothing mentioned about desanto, bull, or warner wins..
The trolls didnt even bother posting because the Hawk fans had it covered this time.
Heres to hoping the team and the fans have a better session II.
Sums up the current state of Iowa wrestling.1 out of the last 5 has a TD......disgusting.

This “wrestling on one leg” stuff of out of control.Not really any excuses. Guys are waiting until the last 30 secs to win it and that’s just not cutting bait. Thought the Ali shuffle was kinda douchie when not dominating a guy who is wrestling on one leg. GSteve is trying too hard to get that black hat.

Yeah, I love Stoll, but does anyone really believe there is a healthy version of Sammy that beats Gable? I am not seeing it.This “wrestling on one leg” stuff of out of control.
how's the Minni-Apple treating you?Not really any excuses. Guys are waiting until the last 30 secs to win it and that’s just not cutting bait. Thought the Ali shuffle was kinda douchie when not dominating a guy who is wrestling on one leg. GSteve is trying too hard to get that black hat.

I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say you should be upbeat, but the stupid amount of whining and even putting our wrestlers down by some is completely out of control. I am slightly disappointed in our performance thus far. I think any knowledgeable fan should be slightly disappointed but we lost one match that on paper we were supposed to win(it was a complete tossup to anyone that follows the sport). It’s very realistic that we only have one finalist without any wrestler severely underperforming. Oh the meltdown that would follow!Trust me, my friend, it's not that we don't want to cheer for all the great things that happened in session 1, such as Lee's pin. That was fricking awesome! And Sam Stoll wrestling Gable to a 5-3 loss, was also pretty impressive considering how his season started and the slow recovery process. But after that things got a little sluggish. It's hard to get overly excited when the Bull and Desanto get decisions against guys they should get decisions against while simultaneously watching the likes of Lugo and Cash trying to effectively kill 7 minutes without doing much of anything. And though Cash was expected to lose, I still would have preferred more action. And Lugo...well, his first two matches were nothing but 9 minutes of stalling (he had a decent two mins against the kid from Nebraska). So sorry for not sounding overly excited. I guess our expectations were just a little bit higher than that. Oh, and don't forget we are in 6th f%$#ing place, in case you missed that piece. I still have nothing but love for our fellas, but I'm not going to jump for joy because we had 4 men make it to the semis when 5 were favored to do so, and oh by the way, we have have a grand total of one victory by bonus points after 2 rounds. So tell me again, why are we supposed to be all upbeat at this stage of the game?? As a hardcore Iowa fan, this fricking SUCKS!!!
I forgot how embarrassing “fans” on this board are this time of year.
A reminder that we led the NCAA tournament last year in bonus points, not Penn State.
I hear you. I'm simply expressing my feelings. That being said, I was a bit more upbeat about this evening's action. I think Suriano will win it all in a couple weeks, so Desanto has nothing to be ashamed of. Warner was game...just needs a little more experience, and Lee did a good job controlling the match with Russell. As for Brother Alex, every match with Wick is a battle, so a win of any kind there is impressive, though I didn't like that last period. Finally, my Iowa Wrestler of the Night goes to Kaleb Young. If that kid improves as much between now and next year as he did this past year, we could be looking at an NCAA champ...or at least a finalist. The kid is no joke. He's fun to watch...aside from that match earlier today...LOL!I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say you should be upbeat, but the stupid amount of whining and even putting our wrestlers down by some is completely out of control.
