Iowa vs Cal Baptist match thread

[natchrlman]

I thought they did a great job. I wouldn’t be upset if we saw more of them this year. A little rough on their transitions but very good. Ky did more of the pbp and Bull was more commentary. I think it helps that they know the wrestlers so well. They were able to talk about the ties that The Iowa wrestlers were good at.

I’d give them an 8/10 certainly better than most away meets announcers imo.

especially on the BIG network….. much preferred to listening to Sparky blabber about mat returns…… that guy annoys the shit out of me

FYI, according to his bio he placed 4th at JUCO last year. I think everyone understands he's not a blue-chip recruit. And yet...he put on the Iowa singlet. He's gotta earn it and own it.

Q1: What's up with Ybarra? Can he still make 125? He looked good in his last match against Okie St last year.

Q2: Can Ayala wrestle up to 5 matches this year without burning his shirt?

Hope we see Ybarra out east at 25.

You don't like Shane Sparks? I like him, brings some passion and excitement to covering wrestling. He's a good guy. What's not to like about good, hard mat returns?? I know Carver gets loud when one of our guys picks their opponent up and puts them back down with some authority.

Thought I heard Brands say Ybarra was in the mix at 133

you are correct I don’t like him…. he’s a spaz and there’s quite a bit more to wrestling than “ mat returns “…… I do enjoy listening to Gibbons though the best ever was Gable and Tim Johnson and of course Mark Ironside……

It's always the best when Gable is involved. I don't like Gibbons at all.

Wow. He looked undersized at 125 last year. Guess looks can be deceiving... or maybe he got on the Big Tony plan during the off season.

far as I’m concerned the less they say the better personally goes for all sports…..

Lol. Marinelli dropped a nugget in either the first or second match about “you guys are watching, I don’t need to do pbp”.

On the roster he is listed at 125/133

Sacred Heart Seminary is thinking of starting club team if Iowa wants to toughen their schedule next year.

Perhaps we can get them to replace Debby on the schedule next year.
