Or he was taking a pre match nervous shit.
I think Gilman was the back man. He has a flair for the dramatic if I remember correctly.
It's pure avoidance of wrestling, hate it.
Parker Keckeisen might disagree with you on this one. I'm excited about Angelo but there's a pretty big gap between Star, Keck and Plott. He'd have to beat one of the 2 to get to the finals and while I think he'd certainly have a shot, he'd be a big underdog against both.
I'm personally looking forward to Keck beating star in the finals and Angelo making a run at 4 starting next year.
Why? He scores from there and comes up to both feet in ties. Ironic that the "one knee" stance has become a thing considering how many have used it before and who made it popular.
Watch Drake in this video, that’s the most animated I’ve seen him.
Imo, it's style issue. Keck and Ferrari would be much closer just because Ferrari is very dangerous with forward pressure in which is where Keck lives. Star doesn't mind wrestling close matches, is patient, and elite at picking his spots.
This is such a ridiculous take. It's a flipping wrestling fan message board. If you or mom doesn't think anything negative should ever be posted (again on a wrestling fan message board), you're both being unrealistic. I personally think all the NIL talk related to BK or any wrestler is beyond stupid but again, it's a message board, it's what people do.

Okay but Keck just piss pounded Plott 2 weeks ago. It was barely competitive. Angelo is not on that level right now nor would I expect him to be. Some are getting over their skis thinking he's ready to knock off 2 world class wrestlers.
Spencer telling Angelo he’s a fvcking beast.
The irony of Okie St. fans bitching about Angelo considering who their recently retired legend of a coach was is thicker than ticks on a coon hound.

Agree to disagree. Sure, it's fine to critique, question things, etc. I see a lot of comments that borderline get personal, and I'm not a fan of it. Nothing good comes out of it and plenty of parents, recruits, etc. likely check message forums. We have the greatest fan base in wrestling imho, plenty of passionate fans, wrestlers have high expectations (we do too as fans), but I simply don't see the point with a lot of comments.
Just my personal opinion, so that doesn't mean it's right. Thx
Angelo's defense is elite and on par with Star's. That he didn't score as much on Plott than Keck makes no difference because we are talking two different matchups. It's apples and oranges.
And btw, saw several posts on Twitter and Facebook that gave Angelo no chance against Plott. Plott's attack rate was just too high.

thats awesome !! and in all honesty....as hokey as it sounds.. those wrestlers on the Iowa side were LOVING that moment and their celebration was a great team experience and would make for a great recruiting video. it is truly awesome watching all of these kids enjoying a fellow teammate have a tremendous Career moment in front of 15000 fans. That has to be a one of kind experience for these kids and it should definitely be stressed to recruits !
And Gabe Arnold is right in the middle of it as excited as any of them.
That had me fired up. And Angelo listed Gabe as the first name (among others) for why he was prepared for this match in his interview.
This team has a camaraderie reminiscent of the 20-21 teams. I don't feel like we've seen this much juice on the sideline for a few years.
The 15 second mark where Tom looks at the camera, Jim Halpert style, and holds up the 3 is high comedy.

Red is one of the best teammates I've ever seen come through the program. Just an awesome young man.
Agree on the personal attacks but I haven't seen much of this aside from a few morons, one of which is a likely psu troll.
Fair points. Selfishly the #1 reason I want him to redshirt is bc the only thing I haven't been able to experience in my years of Hawkeye wrestling fandom is seeing a 4 timer... and I think the best chance of that happening in the near future is Angelo redshirting and going for 4 starting next year.
I know corby keeps advising you to stay away (for your own good), but you gotta keep coming back (for ours!)!!
That's high praise knowing the time you spend around these guys. Even when he was a kid, you could see the maturity and ability to talk to adults on their level. Just a good dude and its been a fun ride watching him and his brothers grow up. Bro Eaghan just placed 6th at State (215).
What's cool is that my wife and I took his brother Emmitt down to Tucson with us years back. Took Em to Sunnyside for a work out...have a picture of him and Jesse (his senior year) after practice. Em's workout partner was Nando Villaescusa, who ended up at Gilbert/Iowa State. Nando was on another level but let Emmitt get in and work on his shots. Also a good kid.
Agreed. I think there is always going to be a "guy" in the way but better that guy not be a 4 timer and a returning champ.
also it looks like Bobby has lost weight
side note, I'm surprised OKST didn't roll our Cody Merril at 197 aft the Angelo upset. He gave SB his toughest match all year and probably having felt him once already offered a better chance to win than Surber
That and the choice at 33. Japan is going to be very good here in the future but Drake was able to match him in neutral plus ride him (what Drake is not known for). Maybe Drake majors or techs Witcraft but I think having a folkstyle guy here to keep to a regular decision would have been best.
Ya we have talked about his brother's season a few times this year. Always impressive to see a young guy succeed at a big boy weight. But yes Red is on a very short list if I had to give a best teammate award. Honestly he would probably be the guy over my years around. Just a fabulous person who is willing to do anything to help his team.
Better than an in-match nervous shit, that's for sure.
I did that 3 times throughout the day and I live 700 miles away. No shame in the nervous squirts.
I let you know when the day arrives when I GAF what you think.
I realize I'm on the shit list because I spelled Franklin's first name wrong and don't smooze up to Coach Phil like most here.

Kid looks like Dolph Lundgren (spelling) in Rocky
My 12 week old puppy had an in-match shit during Angelo's match last night. Doing pretty well, she gave me the "it's time for me to take a dump" look. Sure, I could've paused the match, but I just couldn't do it. Wood floors anyway and figured we can just get her back on track today lol.
yes he does,but he would rag doll dolph lundgren
My dogs are older, but they did run and hide from me during Angelo's match when I was hooting and hollering at the tv.
Is it okay for a parent to come here and call a poster “a piece of shit?”
I don't think I'd be coming to a message board if I had a kid on a D1 team, but to each their own. Gabe's dad seems to be able to not take it as personal........it's just wrestling
Buchanan looked like he had just woken up in that match against Merrill.
