Illinois PBP Thread

Welcome to the board. Nebraska football freaking sucks bro.
Yup...they gave that match to him. Had Illinois shot then I could see it but hits him for stalling and then again a few secs later when they go out of bounds. We all know Wilcke needs a sense of urgency in these situations but dang.
To be fair, he played it like a lot of teams would play favorited Iowa wrestlers. He was going up against the #2 guy in the country.
For years, teams would have their guys play everything close to the vest, keep it low scoring, not give up anything but not shoot either to prevent getting countered. And then later in the match they'd turn it on to try to catch our guys in a scramble or a counter, anything.
That's kinda how Wilcke wrestled there.
Yes, not the Iowa style at all, but he had his chances to beat one of the top-ranked guys.
Man.... it seems like yesterday when a baby faced Sam Stoll took the mat at Kinnick Stadium. It’s been a pleasure to watch him compete.
The two calls there were quick but Wilke was stalling in the match and could have been called earlier and he did back up. You get what you earn.

That beeping noise that government vehicles make when they back up?
Another back but no SW

Ironside cannot believe that there was only 2 SW
Rachel goes down
Ironside KNOWS we got 3 SW
Grace politely explaining it.
Rachel is head to the mat
Stoll working on finding the wrist
I hope Rachel is getting some tution relief for this.
Stoll getting an arm up
Like an Evans hip tilt
Now the arm and has him over
and quickly, suddnely as the very end, it is over.

I wonder if the ref called it to prevent an injury because it didn't look like his back was completely on the mat when he called it.
Iowa wins 31-8
Rare weekend that they have 2 duals
Guys who did well, enjoy it
Guys who lost, figure it out.
ironside is thinking 141 and 157. Both had winnable matches.
Looking for a rebound on Sunday.
2 pm on Sunday

I’d like to see a Cash wrestle with urgency for SEVEN minutes.
That ref tonight is the exact reason there needs to be a push out rule. One time it is action, the next time a stall call and no difference between the two. Gunther could have been dq'd much earlier but he wouldn't call it. Then Wilke he calls it right away and 10 seconds later Parker backs straight out and no call. Then who know in Stoll's match.
I would give him the benefit of the doubt if he hadn't wrestled his last 50 matches exactly the same way. That strategy works great for him in terms of keeping matches close with top 8 guys, but since he's never actually beat a top-8 guy with that strategy, and has lost to a lot of non-top-8 guys with that strategy, and kept a lot of non-top-20 guys in matches much longer than they should've with that strategy, I humbly suggest that it's a flawed strategy and he should stop using it. For God's sake, start wrestling at the beginning of the match and wrestle hard to the end of the match. Don't just wrestle the LAST 30 SECONDS of every match.
As Ironside said, it's just Wilcke's mindset and he's unlikely to change. I agree 100%. He's a lost cause.
I'm more concerned that Kaleb Young seems to have caught the Cash Wilcke bug. That concerns me greatly.
He tried the Paul Glynn shush on his wife. It didn't go over too well.
Yea...but it usually takes a shot from the other guy to get a call. Illinois was just pushing. The second call a few secs later was legit. Illinois backed up a lot tonight and wrestled the edge frequently and could have gotten called a lot more than they did. If I were a coach, I say you get what you earn but as a fan it's different.
Young ranking climbing has him wrestling not to lose. Good time for him to take a loss like this and get his head back in game
And Mike Carr wrestled for South Fayette. He was there to see the crying fit. Probably where the history comes from.
I'm drunk. And i dont like the Hawkeyes, at all. But just watched the dual and I know Spencer will repeat (I love that kid kid) and Marinelli should. He's gotta quit leading with that heavy right. That's easy to figure out. As a dad, I would like him to win for Eli. We're a small community with passion for our beloved teams, but family matters most. When I heard that story it ripped me apart. God bless all wrestling fans.
Drunk post of the year? Simply based on the spelling, grammar and puncuation, if not the content. Although seldom recommended, "Drink more, post often".
Chertow should never call another match on BTN.
Benched for punching Chertow earlier in the day.
The penalty last week was not a misconduct penalty on Desanto, it was a Loss of Mat Control on Tom for running onto the mat and grabbing Desanto.
Yeah, Chertow was extremely tough to listen to. I wouldn’t be mad if he was never a commentator again.
Nothing was said on the radio about a suspension. Then again, I would doubt TnT would say anything publically anyway.
They wouldn't, but Bowman didn't wrestle either. Maybe just a wake up call to DeSanto or an atta boy for Glynn.
Brands in post dual interview said something like, "take Glynn and Shaw, tonight we needed them" which would imply that guys are hurt.
I took it as that "Brands discourse" where he finds himself in the middle of sentence and then realizes he needs to alter the end of the sentence. Consider something like this, what he wants to say: "Kwood reallly sh#t the bed last night" but instead he says: "Kwood really had poopy pants".
Then to make matters even more confusing, Glynn makes it sound like he was going right before the dual and that Brands told him he owed Duncan from last year, making sound a little like revenge. And then after Glynn wins, he gives "high 5s" to everyone and I'm pretty sure that he gives one to ADS. Perhaps he was saying "thanks for letting go tonight so that I could beat that guy"
I don't think it was a wake up call / punishment or reward. I just think it was revenge.
