Real quiet on here regarding the Warner match. I think everyone is over just seeing his lackluster style
Big Ten Finals(and 3rd/5th) discussion
- Thread starter jrod65
- Start date
It drives me crazy when a ref calls stalling with ten seconds left in a one takedown match when there’s been no action for 6 mins and 50 seconds. At that point it doesn’t matter. Stupid.
Did you see how at the end of the Warner Brucki match, Brucki wasn't putting any forward pressure into Warner, and Warner's shots never got within 15 feet? That's what would've happened if Alex shot against Amine, and it would've opened the door for Amine to time a counter and steal one from the Bull.
The perfect example of “easier said than done”.
Oh, and that penalty point is more on the ref than Massa. If you get a chance, go back and watch how Starocci starts and sets on top. He pretty much balks every time and leaves his waist hand loose and short of the waist and barely pressures the elbow…
There should be no doubt that a healthy Hawkeye squad wins this tournament.
Probably would have even without Lee, if all others were healthy.
Yes I know injuries are part of the deal, but some SERIOUS injuries going on

Evidently Warner wants Michigan to win the Big Ten instead of Penn State, like most on this board?
The cheering for Michigan is interesting
Cheering for Kevin Jackson. Yikes

No Cass, the rest of the week will be fun with all the naysayers, and goodnight.
What’s left to say. Sometimes he wins, sometimes he looses. Sometimes he scores 17 pts and sometimes he scores 1. It’s seemingly up to Warner when either of those occurrences are gonna happen.
It’s all mental at this point. I think he thinks there are certain people he can’t score on so he tries to counter them. Sometimes he gets a counter and tries to ride for the win. Other times he looses and looks like he’s on a Sunday walk. It’s up to Warner, he’s talented in nearly every aspect of the sport except the one thing that problem matters most, his mind.
Like how BTN played that up...like they didn't know that Cass wasn't going MFF
He's busy in the crowd lecturing Sam Amine on his son biting and scratching 🤣
A lot of forfeits. Unfortunate.
This MFF crap will ruin the sport.
It's BS.
It's BS.
Wonder what can be done to curb that. Drop a position....so like Cass goes to 3rd and this 3/4 turns into a 2/4 match
Or docking a team point
Mark my words. This will be the year MFFs will hurt seeding since Iowa did it in the finals twice. Hope I’m wrong.
What happened to Parris? He looked like a guy that could challenge Gable a few years ago…not so much now
Literally every single one has a legitimate injury dummy
Gable has matured so much, really likeable guy now. Burroughs the GOAT, so smooth.
Great commentator, he needs to be interviewing the wrestlers after the final instead of the dopey guy with the rings.

Congrats to Michigan! Their team wrestled well all weekend. Huge win from Amie over Brooks to clinch it. Cheers!
As an Iowa fan I just want our guys healthy for nationals. As a wrestling fan there needs to be a penalty for MFF. What an ugly look for a sport struggling to expand. Today made us look weak compared to Michigan and PSU.
If Penn State and their fans weren't the way they are, we wouldn't enjoy the fact that they lost. We'd only be focused on what Iowa was unable to accomplish.
They were certain they were gonna step right back in and overtake Iowa after all their wins in the Finals and all the guys they had coming back.
Fail.

Not enough to keep them from competing. This is a new thing.
Dan Gable is like wtf? With all teams doing it.
There are exceptions, I'm sure a few have major issues.
This crap wasn't going on even a few years ago.
They need rules or it's going to hurt the sport big time.
True on Gable. Really disliked him before, but he seems gracious for all the appreciation that fans give him. If that makes sense.
Today was an embarrassment to the sport and sports as a whole as far as the MFFs go. Iowa will take a lot of crap for this and deserves every bit of it. So lame. If someone has a legit issue, then fine. Disgraceful.
They all did have a legit issue, did you watch the matches? Kemerer is wrestling one-armed, and Eierman and Cass both have huge leg braces and could barely put any weight on that leg
I won’t buy into the injures we’re too much to wrestle these matches. Every one of us would be calling out psu if they did it
