***Big Ten Tournament Session One Thread***

[mcpat]

Did you have to pay again to park when you came back for the evening session?

I sure hope you found a restaurant that was open on a Saturday in College Park.

We walked to Taco Bell. Loonies (sports bar nearby) was nuts. Too busy for me. The word was leaving by car meant re-paying. I didn’t know it when I booked my hotel, but there are hotels in walking distance.

6 guys in the semis and our highest seeded guy isn't one of them is a pretty good session imo. 149 and 125 were right there with making it 8 of 10. Every time Iowa loses I have to chuckle at the "nobody improves at Iowa" crowd. Drake is really good, but until Drake believes that and starts wrestling to win instead of not losing he won't be successful. Teske is exhibit A. Let it fly Drake and go down swinging if you go down.

A win over Smith would be his first top 10 win of the year. Depending on the other conference tournament results that win probably puts him in the 7-9 range.

There are a lot of very good wrestlers at 197.

6 or 7 is what I'm hoping for

Is it crazy to think assad could have won this weight at big tens?

Yeah it probably takes a certain level of crazy to think that.

A full feed Nelson would be interesting though.

I don’t disagree. They need to bring someone in from the outside to add a different perspective.

Seriously need a staff shakeup.

And that's not based on anything that's happened today.

I wonder if Ohio State fans are thinking the same thing, with only 2 semi-finalist.

 

[dtripp26]

What’s up with all of this whining I’m seeing on this thread today? We blame PSU and the refs for our losses and then blame the ref for PSU wins. Ugh!!

 

[Gobblin]

Wouldn’t it be nice for you if I gave 2 shits?

I read their boards.

They're not thrilled.

and most of them outside the big ten so he never had a shot to overtake them. glazier’s had a great year, but a really weak schedule. this is his first true AA quality guy not named Brooks. great opportunity.

 

[Life=HawkeyeWrestlin]

Sorry, in my defense it was really hard to let such an amazing take go unnoticed. “Man, good thing we have good wrestlers!!!”



Iowa fans on Tuesday: “We only have 1 top 2 seeded guy. Might not have a conference champ.”

Iowa fans on Saturday: “Man, these semis look brutal!”

FFS. 😂

Our good wrestlers are far behind our competitors good wrestlers but reading comprehension is tough for turd

In his defense he has beaten aka smashed the defending champ big ten that is at 197 so I would say his best win is fairly solid. Hes still my dude on this squad

There isn’t a defending NCAA champ at 197.

Edit: Oh. You mean B1G champ. Ok.

 

[Life=HawkeyeWrestlin]

the Nebraska kid at big tens? I edited as you were responding I think

Allred is a shell of himself this year. His best win is either Joles or Sonny Sasso. Not the same guy who won big tens last year.

I don’t disagree but Zach has beaten everyone in front of him minus all world Brooks. I’m excited for his opportunity tonight

 

[js8793]

I think Glazier can definitely place this year btw . Just explaining why he has very little chance at a high seed if he doesn’t beat Brooks.

Oh. There’s a newsflash. Thanks.

no problem turd. Next time don’t read my stuff and comment some dumb shit. Fairly certain everyone here knows youre a tool

“Turd” 🤩

 

[Nashville_Hawkeye]

Semis could be brutal. Steel yourselves.

We'll go 1-5 unless someone gets hot. Thinks Woods will win but the rest of them will have to work some magic, and I think Glazier will do just that. Would love to see Teske keep it going.

 

[redghost1974]

Ummm..... Sorry to break the bad news to you...

I totally forgot he has a redshirt at nowhere college. Got me.

 

[CHERRYPICKED]

He claimed Tom botched handling of the Teske seed. He didn’t botch anything. They saw the match up they wanted and have been game planning for Bouzakis. They were confident he’d be ripe for the picking and they were right. Those are facts.

yeah. Not the facts. Ever. You must not be on the Teske NIL plan....facts

If it was ripe for the picking he would have been the guy to begin with.
