Clark medical forfeit

Protect his seed...
Sorry had to get that in there for tOSU crowd.
Noticed that he kicked that leg once or twice after he came up from the stalemate. Looked like Colon was on it pretty hard. I was kind of surprised the ref didn't stop it.
I noticed that too, like he kicked his leg a few times to shake it off.
I tore a small tendon in my knee in the exact same position once, was able to wrestle the rest of my matches that day, but come morning it hurt like no other. Hopefully just precautionary and not anything torn in his knee.

I don't think many Iowa fans care what tOSU fans think. Maybe try the joke on tOSU forum.
If true, Clark who IMHO leads the nation in PD calls, hurts a leg (even if a minor injury) b/c ref doesn't stop it? Kind of a bad deal.

"And Clark gets the td for 2, ref immediately gets ready to blow on the whistle anticipating the potentially dangerous"
No joke, it happens all the time to Clark when he's trying to turn guys with the arm bar...I can already see the next PBP

Well Illinois is ranked 11th and is no slouch, so I don't think we could put that one in the bag just yet. They have Top Ten guys in Richards (133), IMart (157), Rodriguez (165), Brunson (174), Kopeke is 16th at 184, and Black is 13th at HWT. We're favored on paper, but anything is possible.
Supposedly Paul Glynn was going to wrestle 133 at Midlands. Not sure what happened or if that is the plan going forward.
If he can't wrestle, why not just put redshirt freshman 125 pounder Perez Perez in at 133 he can redshirt next year Gilman and Clark have 125 and 133 next year anyways, he is a 125 pounder so he would go into the match at his walk around weight, he will be able to say he wrestled a dual for Iowa, worst thing happens is he gets pinned which is 6 points just like a forfeit anyways, I hate seeing Forfeits, ESPECIALLY in College, especially at a school known for wrestling (Penn State has forfeited at heavyweight this year) Northwestern has forfeited 3 matches in a dual meet a school not really known for wrestling, but a Big 10 (14) school nonetheless, got to put 10 wrestlers on the mat for all duals, if a school does not have a second string at a weight the coach should walk around campus and find someone at that weight, give him a uniform and send him out there.
I HATE FORFEITS lol
Maybe Grothus can make it down to 133.
Hey Pslim, bring it on over to PSU. We don't care what tOSU thinks either...but we like good humor. That was funny! @PapaBearSLIM
M* said in interview that he was fine and we will see him next week. Just precaution pulling him. Don't win a national title in December.
You don't win a national title in March unless you get 141,157,165,and,174 taken care of.
Let's not get carried away. Meyer wasn't sharp this week, but 174 is far from a weight that needs to be "taken care of" -- certainly not even in the same conversation as 141, 157, or 165.
Agree.. Even though Walters has a bad loss from time to time he has been a pretty consistent top 10 guy at 174 the last couple years. Not saying Meyer should get beat as bad as he did, but Walters isn't a slouch.
From Coach Brands:
“It’s an injury that is minor,” Brands said. “He made the call. He could have went. The national tournament he’s going, but he made the call. We leave that up to them. We trust our guys. We trust their judgment and I think he’ll be fine going forward.

What do you expect the coach to say? Regardless of the degree of injury, Tom's going to say it's minor and that Clark could've wrestled if it were more important. Midlands is a big tourney so it could be more serious...or not. Guess we'll know more next week.
Well I guess I would expect him to say that he's dinged up and going to miss some time. This isn't like football where there is a decided advantage to keep your opponent guessing. Winning the Midlands isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
I think you forgot, he's in the future. But the question is, is he far enough in the future he knows if CC wrestles against illanoy?
Clark is the man - wrestles and comports himself like every wrestler should (win or lose).
Hopefully just a minor thing.
Hopefully just a minor thing.
Hey Chickenman...Happy New Years brother.
What did you think of the Manville match? He was getting pretty chippy. Got heavily booed by the PA crowd. Not a knock on him because you know we like a bit of attitude around these parts. Have you seen Terry yet? One of the funny parts is that Terry said Tom was only born first because "Terry pushed him out." Thought you might appreciate the humor.
You too man. My boys finally went to sleep so I can surf the boards.
I haven't seen the Manville match but it sounds like him and Hidlay have some sort of bad blood going on. I don't have Flo Pro but see the comments on multiple threads. Some PSU fans don't like it, but I haven't seen the incidents.
That Brands quote is hilarious - raising them must have been like a non-stop police action keeping them from maiming each other.
As an aside, 2 years of crappy work luck just ended today. Got laid off at Christmas in 2013 because I couldn't move to HQ (family reasons). That was a great job and they treated me well despite the layoff. Took what I thought was something I could do for awhile though it would get me a little off track. Turned out to be a nightmare - was dropping resumes on day 2 (!) because the boss was an unethical ahole and stuck it out for 15 months before I got laid off again - being 40+ and in a niche industry (and unable to relocate) kind of limits my options so even getting interviews became a challenge. Serendipity struck 5 days after that layoff when a guy I had met once who worked for the same company but different office of an old colleague of mine pretty much cold-called me looking to see what I was up to as he needed help. It was a 6 month contract gig with a possibility of going full-time if a deal worked out. Well, the deal closed at 10:30 am today and my offer letter is coming. Office closed at 12:30, went to see the Hateful 8 at 1:30 at a theater with bar and food service, played with my little dudes, and now it's Scuffle Time. So, it's been a good day.
All the best to you and yours. Merry New Year!
No, I'm just making the point that you can't base the status of an injury on the coach's comments.
Hypothetically speaking, lets say Clark was going to be out 3 or 4 duals. If you were Glynn wouldn't you just pull your redshirt for those duals? He can use it next year when Clark and Gilman are Srs. When you are not a superstar recruit you just never know when you are going to have the opportunity to see the lineup.
