Illinois play by play...

[jmadden1998]

Wilcke in on a single but Lee fights it off. Blood time for Lee

 

[tigerguy_]

Urgency from somebody wrestling tonight please

 

[dhm47]

New dumbest comment

Really?

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

I want my money back

I got my tickets free and I feel I overpaid.

 

[jmadden1998]

Scoreless first. Wilcke starts down and escapes. 1-0

 

[jmadden1998]

End of 2. 1-0 Wilcke

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

LOL at guys bashing Young for getting Tech'd by IMar. For cripes sakes sometimes you run into a buzz saw and there ain't a darned thing in the world you can do to stop said buzz saw.

Brandon and Kem should be taking notes from IMar about how a CHAMP wrestles. Pathetic effort from our two leaders.

Iowa home run hitters bunt for base hits is right on. Iowa has no champs. Perry's boys dominated Iowa's lack of getting to it.

 

[jmadden1998]

Lee out. 1-1

 

[jmadden1998]

Going to SV

 

[jmadden1998]

Wilcke finally with a go behind for 2. Wins 3-1.

 

[PA Power]

If Stoll gets the pin, the Hawkeyes will win.

 

[jmadden1998]

Stoll has to pin Rachal to win the dual

 

[madmax1191]

I'll stop here but listening to MI on the broadcast I've never heard him this angry. He is seething. I think he's seen enough ( TnT ). It is affecting him and to me, a fan but not a fanatic of Iowa wrestling this is troubling. Not to mention the wresting tonight. I love TnT but it seems the mojo aint there.

 

[Hicksy87]

It is one thing to wrestle flat if they were at Illinois but to be uninspired and underperforming at home is embarrassing.

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

Wow - Wilke really dominated

 

[demogorgon]

Bail em out stoll

 

[jmadden1998]

Stoll pins him!

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

12-17 all up to stoll to pin the un-pinnable

 

[hawknut]

Not trying to be the voice of reason or anything, but when the Hawks underperform at the NCAAs they get blamed for peaking too early and being run into the ground. Now they appear to be taking it slower and saving a little for the end of the year and they are catching crap. WOW, you guys are a tough crowd. Also, this is what a rebuilding year looks like.

So many excuses. Now we are saving it for the end of year? How about we just go win every meet? Is PSU saving it for the end of year? Brands could take a dump on the mat, eat it and you would spin it as a positive. So we are doing terrible against Illinois tonight because we are saving it for March? That is insane!

 

[jmadden1998]

Took him feet to back and kept his feet inbounds

 

[ILhawk41]

Thank you Sam stoll

 

[madmax1191]

WoW Stoll w the Pin to win 18-17!

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I've said this many times. Iowa does not have a team that will compete nationally until we get one or two guys who can roll into the semifinals or finals racking up bonus points.

 

[PA Power]

That Illinois kid looked like they pulled him out of the stands and told him to throw away his half-eaten hotdog, strap on a headgear, and try not to get pinned.

 

[SPOONER]

I love all you guys. This thread is simply the best.

 

[edquinn06]

iowa needs to work on bottom(leg riding)

 

[grapplefann]

Now that was ugly. We're really lucky to win this, given the performance here tonight. Not a good conference start for the Hawks.

 

[bphawkeye_Rivals]

Stoll the man of the day

 

[so cal hawkfan]

Well my feed went out, but Parker beats Bowman on a late TD. Wilcke over Lee in OT then Big Sam Stoll with the first period fall over Rachal. Hawks win 18-17. Wow we looked really bad, didn’t really deserve to win that one. Good for Big Sammy gettin it done though

 

[artradley]

Did I see one of our coaches touching the ref while Stoll was pinning his guy?

 

[SansSouci]

zero reason for them to stay at Iowa

GTFO

 

[mjmx3]

12-17 all up to stoll to pin the un-pinnable

Yep, unpinnable. Nice call Illini boy

 

[snizhawk44]

Yes. I knew we would win. The rest of u go cheer for PSU

 

[Tcalumet]

Not saying I'm happy about the performance but we know it's gonna be a tough year. And next year will be much better. The forum can be brutal to read sometimes - imagine if a future recruit was reading it.....

Great job Stoll - way to come through big guy!

 

[whejoe]

atta boy Wilcke and Sammy!

 

[PA Power]

Yes. I knew we would win. The rest of u go cheer for PSU

I think you might be new to wrestling. This is not a victory to brag about.

 

[grapplefann]

Wow - Wilke really dominated

Are you being sarcastic? Wilke was by far the better wrestler, and this should never have had to go to overtime.

 

[centralhawk24]

Did I see one of our coaches touching the ref while Stoll was pinning his guy?

Yes, poked him right in the middle of the back.

 

[AFHawk86]

Rachal attempted the throw and ended up on his back. Gotta give him credit for going for it, but not sure that was very smart. Great job Stoll coming up huge to bail out the Hawks.

 

[Tcalumet]

Yep, unpinnable. Nice call Illini boy

Haha - seemed like from the start someone was gettin thrown in that one
