Growing up in Ames I’ve hated everything clowns including Hilton. Taking my dad and brother there today and I’d like nothing more than to see the clowns balloon busted once again by the Hawks
I’d be real happy with this outcome. I’m missing the wtf moment/match tho.morning feelings:
25-Ayala should win. He is the better wrestler. Be smart. 3-0
33-Teske is the better wrestler. I understand the ISU guy is tough, but Teske should be looking for an early TD get a turn or two and win by MD 7-0
41-Same as 41. #1 guy needs to get the early TD and turns. MD 11-0
49-coin flip. Both had similar records and NCAA last year. Difference is weight. VV needs to get on top. I’ll say ISU to not be a complete homer. 11-3
57- Franek needs to make us forget why we ever wanted Chittum. 14-3
65-Carr, Caliendo needs to keep it to a dec. 14-6
74- Arnold needs to keep composure and not let the moment get to him. Stay away from the 7 point move. 17-6
84- I feel Swafford will have a better showing this week. ISU isn’t has Dynamic on his feet as Munoz and will see a lot of hand fighting. Could see the MD but hoping for dec ISU 17-9
97- coin flip. ISU guy was 174 last year. Glaizer is better then some think 20-9
285-Hand fight hard try to keep it to a MD but I think TF 20-14 Iowa
Real pin. Carr major. Feldkamp major. 22-16.morning feelings:

Do you mind if I copy/paste this analysis on to a thread I started in the football forum? I made a post there in hopes of getting the wrestling program some more exposure since it's being broadcast on ESPN, but admittedly, I don't know as much about the current program and hoped your post could help fill some of us in.Some strikes and gutters, ups and downs today against Oregon State, but on to the next one. ISU has dropped 17 straight duals to Iowa, last winning in 2004. This could be their best chance in years to knock out the Hawks, which would obviously piss us all off a great deal.
Rankings per Intermat.
#8 Iowa vs. # 10 Iowa State
125: #11 Ayala vs. #17 Kysen Terukina. Terukina majored Eric #6 Barnett today, which was surprising, and Drake looked off this afternoon. I'm gonna say today's loss motivates Drake to bounce back and win by decision. Hawks 3-0.
133: #9 Teske vs. #18 Evan Frost. I like Teske by a comfortable decision. Hawks 6-0.
141: #1 Woods vs. #15 (at 149) Anthony Echemendia. I think Real is able to get to his legs and maybe a turn. Real by decision. Hawks 9-0.
149: # 9 VV vs. Casey Swiderski (NR by Intermat, Flo has him at #13). Swid beat #14 Zargo pretty handily today and can be hard to score on. VV needs to clean up his finishes to win this one. I'm going with Swid in a close decision. Hawks 9-3.
157: #2 Franek vs. #19 Cody Chittum. Hilton could be salty in this one after Chittum decommitted from Iowa. I think Franek controls this match as a savvy veteran, wins by decision. Hawks 12-3.
165: #5 Caliendo vs. #2 David Carr. Carr is just on a different tier, wins by decision. Hawks 12-6.
174: NR Arnold vs. #22 MJ Gaitan. Assuming Gabe goes again, I like him to control this match from neutral and push to get the major. Hawks 16-6.
184: #29 Stafford vs. #5 Will Feldkamp. Will need something big to pull this match out. Feldkamp by major, Hawks 16-10.
197: #23 Glazier vs. #25 Julien Broderson. This will be a big one. Think Glazier gets a TD late to seal it in a gritty decision. Hawks 19-10.
Heavy: NR Hill vs. #7 Yonger Bastida. Mismatch here, but I'm gonna say Hill is able to keep it to a major. Wouldn't matter for the dual if the previous go as above. Hawks win 19-14.
Not much room for error, and we almost have to have wins at 25, 33, 74, and 97. I will not be going, as I can't stand that stinking place and its fans.
Go for it! Be sure to let them all know it comes from the greatest analytical mind in the sport of wrestling though.😂😂😂Do you mind if I copy/paste this analysis on to a thread I started in the football forum?

Sorry @smalls103. Didn't mean to dethrone you, but I'm staking my claim!😄Go for it! Be sure to let them all know it comes from the greatest analytical mind in the sport of wrestling though.😂😂😂
Thank you!Go for it! Be sure to let them all know it comes from the greatest analytical mind in the sport of wrestling though.😂😂😂
There will be at least one surprise starter today.My opinion is we don't see any surprises with the line ups .
Ohhh come on let’s hear itThere will be at least one surprise starter today.
Good surprise or bad surprise? Probable lineups have been posted and nothing of surprise is shown.There will be at least one surprise starter today.
Riggins
Yep. We have a hole from a hole.There will be at least one surprise starter today.
Between myself and my dogs we dont have enough fingers and toes to count how many times the bout sheets have been wrong.Good surprise or bad surprise? Probable lineups have been posted and nothing of surprise is shown.
Hold on. Is this good or bad?Yep. We have a hole from a hole.
Not great.Hold on. Is this good or bad?
I think Kennedy can beat Gaitan. I think Arnold has the better chance at limiting bonus points. We'll see.Not great.
Gonna be some undersized kids wrestling up.
It's going to be one hell of an accomplishment to win this year.
Having PK 74 and Arnold 84 isn’t a bad thing.Not great.

Maybe, maybe not. Lots of variables but I expected winning 174 and losing 184 with the probable lineup. This scenario could result in losing both due to undersized wrestlers moving up. Roll the dice…Having PK 74 and Arnold 84 isn’t a bad thing.

Arnold is giving up 10+lbs in this case.Having PK 74 and Arnold 84 isn’t a bad thing.
Long guys have usually given PK problems with finishing shots.I don’t think pk will be undersized
We all are full of opinions but that’s why they wrestle the matches! Keeping expectations high and hoping for a good outcome. An unexpected pinfall early on would be awesome!Arnold is giving up 10+lbs in this case.
And he's wrestling an AA, not some high schoolers like Naak.
Long guys have usually given PK problems with finishing shots.
We'll see soon enough???
Looks like block made the trip also. Could see him at 149
