Championship Finals Thread

This board kind of embarrasses me tonight. Yea Mega has always been more of counter/stalling wrestler over his 6 year career but he is a 3 time finalist so he is no chump. He got up early and that affords you to be able to run a bit late in the match.

We flat out got out hustled all around today in general. This steroid talk a bout penn state is rediculous. Penn state should be respected by Iowa fans for just what they are doing. For the most part their kids wrestle incredibly hard and try to score points just like we wish our guys would. Yes a lot of their fans a Johnny come latelys but their wrestling team is flat out incredible and I admit, I'm pretty jealous of what they have going on. Mostly because I really don't see any change to their dominance over us ending any time soon. I can see us as hawk fans complaining about our own guys' performances but wrestling fans should appreciate what they are doing right now. At least they wrestle the right way and it isn't OK St's crap style dominating the sport.

I love my hawks and am very frustrated right now but I do respect penn state's accomplishments as a wrestling fan.
 
The comments suggesting juicing are pathetic. The issues are all around talent. We are not going to compete with PSU if we don't recruit a few more difference makers. And we will continue to get passed by the likes of OSU, Okie St, Va Tech when we have massive holes in the lineup. A program like Iowa should never have holes like we do. No excuse for that. Our coaches are responsible for the lineup, and responsible for the development of that lineup. Are we in good shape there? Should we be happy with a top 5 program every year? That really isn't that bad, many other teams would love to have that success. I don't think it is good enough.

I commend the few Iowa fans that called out your own for that pathetic steroid claim. Rivalries can be heated at times but it's embarrassing for any wrestling fan to make such an accusation.

Here is another example of why I detest the Cowboy style: Ringer is far and away the better wrestler, and yet he settles for a 6-2 win.

Yes, as a Hawk fan that was embarrassing. I quickly hit the ignore button on his profile so his strings of embarrassing and ignorant comments would disappear.

As a Penn State fan I appreciate your comments. I have always considered Iowa the gold standard in college wrestling. We're having a good run, but tomorrow belongs to no one.

11-8 Myles Martin 11 seed over 1 seed Nickal , Wild match, Martin almost pins on edge of mat, Nickal w furious comeback, Martin holds on !
 
174 was not a good weight class this year. For those of you that don't think Marinelli can AA next year, you should look at what Martin just did. Marinelli is better right now than Martin was a year ago.

I don't know that he can AA next year or not. He is certainly a step in the right direction, but PSU has multiple top 5 guys. We need to go out and get more studs.
 
Martin was a blue chip recruit, what are you talking about?
I'm talking about that I think Marinelli is better right now than Martin was at this time last year. It's not a 100% verifiable fact but that's what my eyes tell me. I'm well aware that Martin was a well thought of recruit
 
Ohhh my now the greatest coach of all time lost another one. You know it is a good thing that Ohio State and Okl state lost some studs with injuries and Hawks losing Stoll could be a different story.
 
Boy, Nickal sure lets the fur fly. Good Lord that was fun to watch. Kid left it on the mat, that's for sure. He's the only PSU wrestler I actually root for.

Then Ryan developed this kid into a national champ. Marinelli not winning national championship next year.
 
That was an absolutely Horrendous call that was upheld on the review. Not even close to a td. Feel bad for Dudley
