Iowa / ISU pbp

[Muscles1989]

The roughest Hawk squad in awhile. No offense anywhere

 

[Hawks...#1]

We suck folks, iowa wrestling needs a reboot

 

[BurgHawk87]

I feel bad for first time viewers, this isn't exactly a "showcase" of anything.

 

[Rotisserie Scrotz]

YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY TAKE A SHOT VOINOVICH...for God's sake he sucks. Why did Brands bring him in at all?

This is too harsh. He has weapons, they weren’t put to work.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Looked like his gas tank was EMPTY to start the 3rd and slower than molasses.

And what was the issue the first 2 periods? The first 5 matches of the year? He has NO offense...that's the issue.

 

[MVPFAN]

Cowering in the corner now that he has seen why he was barely a .500 wrestler

I'd rather see Rathjen go than see that.

 

[ButtersHawk]

I feel bad for first time viewers, this isn't exactly a "showcase" of anything.

Yeah I'm a first time watcher. Anyone to learn from besides Ayala and Woods?

 

[A Fist Full of Hawkeyes]

I'd rather forfeit the weight then watch that again.

If you want to guarantee a dual loss then that's what you do.

VV isn't the answer, but wanting a forfeit is beyond being over dramatic.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

This is too harsh. He has weapons, they weren’t put to work.

What are they? I'm honestly asking. I have only seen the Cal Baptist and this dual...but he hasn't been lighting the world on fire offensively. He rode the kid from Cal Baptist forever...but you have to get on top for that to work.

 

[js8793]

What’s Voinovich’s injury? He wasn’t amazing or anything at OSU, but he’s looked horrible here so far.

 

[anon_0pi0cv8t1ggvb]

Where's the guy that was really high on VV

He was recently voted the dumbest poster on this forum. @IRONBIRD

 

[MAGAman]

Reals lucky dresser didnt challenge call…thank god!

 

[Rotisserie Scrotz]

Because he has good hand fighting and he’s heavy on the head.

Ok, that is funny. But still, us raggin on him isn’t gonna help.

 

[MilleGinja]

We suck folks, iowa wrestling needs a reboot

Yeah I had a bad feeling going into this one, and we haven’t done anything to make me feel better about it. Their upper weights are a lot better than ours, at least on paper.

 

[Rotisserie Scrotz]

I don’t get it. You’re losing in short time. What’s the harm in shooting?

Taking a bad shot, giving up a major (or even a fall) and costing the team even more points? And then everyone raggin on you anyway for not only having no offense but for making a dumb decision, too?

 

[bobb22]

Embarrassing display

 

[Rotisserie Scrotz]

What are they? I'm honestly asking. I have only seen the Cal Baptist and this dual...but he hasn't been lighting the world on fire offensively. He rode the kid from Cal Baptist forever...but you have to get on top for that to work.

Ding ding ding. Choose Top, Tom.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

No way.... But wrestle to the end!

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

So our #1 ranked wrestler needed overtime to win, and our #2 ranked wrestler is about to lose to a true freshman on the last second shot.

We're just not good at this point.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I believe there is reaction time? No?

Prepare for home cooking

 

[Slim45]

This is just kind of comical at this point

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Just inexcusable to have our top wrestlers this unprepared. That’s coaching

 

[MVPFAN]

Brilliant wrestling at the end by Franek. One team is well coached and well prepared and the other isn't.

 

[millah_22]

right call. imo.

 

[WildTurk]

Wow

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

Good shit

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Correct call. But not a good showing

 

[js8793]

one team looks hungry and is wrestling with their hair on fire. the other…..

 

[TDJ7]

Thats enough wrestling for one day. I'd rather watch Cleveland and Denver make Brian Ferentz look like a genius.

 

[Bold_Crow]

Iowa looking unathletic and flat. Story of the last 3 years.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Disinterested wrestling at 157 as well. High ranked Hawk wrestlers sleeping through the dual today.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

It looks like TNT have gone to the Kirk Ferentz philosophy of coaching. See if we can get a lead and just sit on it. Don't dare try to score any extra points. No need to ever do that. Do barely enough on offense to get a lead and hope and pray the defense doesn't let you down.

 

[Grip220]

Watching Skidmarks not so bad right about now.

 

[Rotisserie Scrotz]

Woof. I thought for sure we’d come in ready and mean, but jeezus, wtf? Gonna be a long year on the boards if this doesn’t turn around in a big way.

 

[js8793]

i think he got there before the clock hit zero but now that they’ve reinstated reaction time, i don’t know how you can give a takedown with a few tenths of a second at most.

 

[BlameIt]

Disinterested wrestling at 157 as well. High ranked Hawk wrestlers sleeping through the dual today.

Have you watched Voinivich in the first 2 matches?

He looked like a floating turd. Motionless. It showed today. He has no action.

This is an Iowa squad like we've not seen in awhile. Cassioppi in the lineup would give me hope in the dual.

But, I just don't see Iowa winning. 133 was the balance tipper for me.

 

[hawx]

I'm not going to overreact. I'm not going to overreact. I'm not going to overreact....

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

I feel like honestly franek wrestled very well for about 6:59 9/10s of that match

 

[TarpHawk]

Yikes. So far it's a showcase of everything that has been wrong with Iowa for the past decade. Lack of offense. Lack of ability to finish. Lack of urgency. One first-period TD so far. Our #1 and #2 both within a split second of losing. Whew.

 

[TarpHawk]

3 or 4 stall calls, all against Iowa.
