Headed to in-laws. I've already explained to my wife that she can stay as long as she wants but I will be sitting in the car 3 PM listening and typing wrestling.

Wow, almost their entire lineup is home grown. Shows that doesn't work in D1 wrestling anymore. Really down year for them.

Doesn't help that Iowa has 3 Starters from Illinois. Assad, Warner & Big Cass. The distance from their hometowns to Iowa City isn't really that much further than Ayala, Schreiver, etc.

Be prepared…. I can’t see how this meet will possibly start on time. IA vs. MN basketball starts at 1:00 and is suppose to end at 3. Rarely does this workout. I am lowering my expectations considerably, on seeing DA wrestle live. Man I hope I am wrong!

Minnesota is only going to have 7 available players I think. We play fast so hopefully it’s a blowout

Like always, it will be available on the Fox Sports app to anyone who has BTN in their TV package.

I don't see wrestling as an option on the app.

 

[SPOONER]

I don't see wrestling as an option on the app.

I don’t see it at the moment but all live BTN events are on there so it will show up eventually.

The hoops game is going smoothly so there may not be a conflict.

Illinois hasn’t had a decent team for some time. Mark Johnson had that program in a good spot

KY looks like he’s rehydrating - angry weight cutting look.

 

[Czech Hawk]

Let’s go Iowa basketball. Don’t blow this lead.

jinxed it

 

[Chuck C]

Yep, the last minutes of the basketball game are going to last a long time.

 

[Redm18]

Should start right on time

 

[Redm18]

Shut up talking heads

 

[AFHawk86]

Scheduled start time is 10 minutes past the hour.

 

[HawkFan1986]

Sparks and Johnson on the big ten call, I like these two! Gibbons is solid but sometimes he hates Iowa. By sometimes I mean all the time.

Should be a rout here for Iowa, as long as we come out like we should. Abe has a chance to flex on the 19th ranked guy. He’s criminally underrated at 18.

 

[Redm18]

2 real nice shots by cardani 3 3

 

[Redm18]

Cardani takes down gets out quick 4 3

 

[Redm18]

Stall warning on cardani

 

[Redm18]

Drake takes down 4 4

 

[Redm18]

Throw by Drake 6 4

 

[Redm18]

Illinois challenge blocked hands

 

[HawkFan1986]

Silly locked hands challenge for Illinois. Not sure why they did that.

 

[Redm18]

Call stands no locked hands

 

[Redm18]

Nice ride for Drake

 

[TDJ7]

Great ride Drake. Atta boy.

 

[funnyfletcher]

Drake rides him out for the 7-4 win!

 

[Redm18]

7 4 final Drake past one great shot cardani mostly just dove in and laid on mat

 

[funnyfletcher]

Lucas Byrd? More like Lucas Nyrd.

 

[sdvike]

Come on Cullen. Take him down.

 

[Redm18]

Slide by attempts by both no score

 

[Redm18]

Illinois wants the brick back

 

[CRIA7415]

Drake don’t play

 

[Redm18]

Td bryd 2 0

 

[HawkFan1986]

Illinois wants the brick back

Immediate regret on that dumb challenge.

 

[Redm18]

Ride out 2 0 after 1 cullan takes down

 

[Redm18]

Cullan does not have much on down.

 

[AFHawk86]

Tom Brands’ voice can be clearly heard on the radio.
