Great take here Tarp. Nothing earth shattering happened...just hope JE and Kem can go and no further injuries.

Next round will JE or kem wrestle, Murin tough draw, hope the bull can slow down himiti, cass gets kerk again. Then all the backside guys can they bounce back. Tonight’s gonna be tough
No point if we're already dead in the team race, especially if it's only gonna get worse trying to go.
Just shelf it and hope whatever ails him magically heals in two weeks (you want a spoiler on that btw?..........)
Not dead yet, there is still a long ways to go. Young losing in the 2nd round really hurt.
I dont know if he can get more injured, but if he can it might have happened in that last match. They’ll do what’s best for him. I wish him the best. I was gutted seeing JE’s wrap and Kem’s injury.

Hoping Kem doesn’t wrestle tonight. I don’t want to watch him and Marinelli both lose tonight.
yep..... wouldn’t be post season if the cesspool wasn’t flooded with people who haven’t posted all year bitching and giving up on the team after a few losses
make hay in the wrestle backs.... mostly though get everyone qualified for nationals..... wonder if Kem might MF out though.... that didn’t look good
Yep, Young hurt the team and my wallet. I bet on him to beat Berge. Don't like losing to PSU!
Just the opposite will happen. If they go they both win!
Nothing is over , NOTHING ! I’m embarrassed by some of the comments from Iowa fans. If anything these guys deserve the respect and gratitude of being warriors for Iowa.
Something tells me you would actually enjoy that.
No way I would have made that bet.
Giving an opinion isn't giving up on them. Majority of this current roster isn't as aggressive or skilled as PSU. (Sometimes facts hurt) I think most fans with a brain knew it'd take a miracle for this team to compete for the title. Majority of these seniors are broken and gassed. Let them ride off into the sunset and be excited for the future.
Agree 100%!!! A lot of keyboard chumps online today! As a 5 year college wrestler I have nothing but respect for guys like Michael, Alex, Austin....my body still hurts from all the years of training 25 years later and now I have to add in the pains of being over 50!
Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if we choke a bit at B10s, but then turn around and surprise everyone in Detroit. Would love to see Jaydin, Kem and Alex win in Detroit!
Really? He lost by 2 points. And he's been wrestling good as of late. You sound as if you have a crystal ball in your living room.
I'm going to bet on the Hawks, especially against PSU, if I think they have a chance, and Young clearly had a chance...and will have another chance if they meet again.
on HR and on Penn State's forums...
All proceeds go to WFL or one of the schools' wrestling programs, but you can definitely bet.
It looked like Tony might have tweaked something too. Saw him wince and mouth an f bomb after getting a takedown.
Young struggles with Berge. Berge gets a nice first round win and kaleb had the bye. I am far from surprised faith this result.Really? He lost by 2 points. And he's been wrestling good as of late. You sound as if you have a crystal ball in your living room.
Luckily Tom and Terry will be popping in here shortly with a full injury report 😄
Saying you're excited to see members of a class graduate is a bullshit comment. Especially when you look at what this senior class has accomplished and given to the program. No matter how you want to spin it.

It was dumb to say the first 99 times but hope you feel better getting it off your chest once again.
We all would, and those guys are fine, minus the injuries. The 57 84 97 losses were a gut shot and I really thought all three of those guys were going to make that Gable Era leap this year. But I've been waiting for those types of improvements for 20+ years and it just doesn't happen as much anymore.
It's always hard when you are in the middle of the action, but, as stated by several others nothing so far is a surprise. Honestly I don't think we are talking enough about Max Murin and his absolute iron will. IF Iowa is going to have a chance at a national title it will be won on the backside of the bracket. Don't lose hope. This tournament isn't over AND crazy s*** happens at NCAA's every single year.
Not a good round for the Hawks. Even the injured guys that gutted out wins seemed to "tweak" their existing injuries. Drake and Kem are wrestling on pure heart. Jayden added a knee injury to his year long hand injury. Those frustrate me far more than 157, 184, and 197. They can redeem themselves on the backside. 125, 141, and 174 are not getting healthy by tonight or 2 weeks from now. That stings far more. Kudos to Kem and Eierman for how they have battled this year. Onward
It's not easy but Drake getting 3rd would help as that would limit Hildebrandt to 7/8.
Austin needs to make the final worst case.
Jaydin needs to make the final worst case.
Max upsetting Sasso not impossible but needs to make the 3/4 match worst case.
Young needs to get 3rd worst case.
Bull needs to win it.
I don't know what they will do with Kem but need a 3rd worst case if he goes.
Abe has work to do to get on the stand. He better step it up.
Warner needs to rebound and get 3rd.
Cass needs to make the final.
Last round kinda sucked so might as well tear it up next round.

And PSU dominates the post season typically while Iowa falters. Cael’s kids have that Gable mentality, while the Brands’ wrestlers often go into a turtle shell (except Spencer).
I really don't remember gable or gable trained wrestlers running for 6 minutes and 15 seconds then taking one shot at the end. Maybe Duals on PBS will clear that up for me.
