How in the world was that ruled a td with no backs. I'm no official but I thought no takedown and 4 backs for danger? Do they always award a td with danger backs?
I'm confused.

The strength isn’t the problem in my opinion, it’s the quickness
🖕 should have been nf unless someone can explain it to me….
I think the bigger problem was not riding him harder before. Seems like he gave up too soon, and Cass has the size advantage and Parris was gassed. Terrible ride by Cass, imo.
I could swear I've seen danger backs called a 100 times with no td? Am I wrong? If they awarded a td too this should have been 6.
I didn't think that was at the fans, thought it was more in the direction of the Michigan bench.
I heard no boos, only cheers.
If that was at the fans then his butt hurt runs deep.
Neutral danger TD is breaking 90. To get near fall it needs to be 45.
Brands was on the radio and explained it to Grace and Ironside. He didn't seem upset and was on the edge. That's the reason he was hesitant to throw the brick and wanted an official's review instead.
According to him, it never broke 45. Probably the right call, for once.
Thanks for explaining, it sure looked like he was past 45. I'm a homer though. Lol

Good. He shouldn't be mad at the comments. He should be mad at the fact he pissed away the win bc he literally quit wrestling. I said it last week that I've really enjoyed watching his career and he deserves recognition for the grit he's historically brought to the NCAA tournament. I hope he brings that again this year. But he certainly has had his fair share of regular season matches that deserve criticism.
If reading comments motivates him, good. He's talented as hell and a great wrestler. Harness that motivation and unleash it again at NCAAs this year. I'll be cheering for him.
if he had the backs, maybe he would not have taken that shot.
Nice of Michigan to come to Iowa and send out four starters.
Parris is huge compared to Cass, but yes he was gassed at that point.
Was one of the better heavy weight matches in a long time.
Cass doesn't have a size advantage on Parris
Yep, he lost weight and transitioned to a slap and tickle low leg offense but both Kerk and Parris are still quicker and now both are bigger and quicker. He needs to get bigger and bring some upper body stuff and some power TDs back into his game plan or he will keep losing. He doesn't bring an advantage to the table to win calculated type matches vs Kerk or Parris. He needs to have high ass pace and create some chaos.
If he's mad at the fans for his crappy performance last week, that would be misplaced anger.
He looked better tonight. Keep it up.
Kerk and Parris are both stronger and quicker than Cass. His only hope is to wear them down. Tonight was almost the blueprint.
You lose credibility when you categorically state that Cassioppi will never beat Parris, then when he almost does, you say this. Would be best to steer clear of stating things in an absolute manner.
He really wrestled the perfect match. I was worried he might wrestle too open which is exactly what Lewan wants, to capitalize on an errant shot. Cobe wrestled very smart in that regard, then came up with the effing goods when Lewan was deep. Very good win.
After this year, 2 I believe.
Wtf are you trolling about, nube?

They should've sat Lewan as well to protect his seed. /s
Ha! Appreciate the propers but I was far from alone in my thoughts…. Never was a doubt to those paying attention to what was going on in the off-season. NO ONE worked harder than that young man. Couldn’t be happier for him, he truly deserves what he’s earned so far and he ain’t done yet by a long shot.

It's easy to be negative when he gives up the first two takedowns and has a history of being dominated. Im willing to have my mind changed, and cass showed progress.
I'm not trying to gain credibility, it's a open forum dork
The wear them out part for sure part of the blueprint but he needs to have a more aggressive pace/style to get the job done. Wrestling from space and trying to hit low leg shots isn't going to do the job. Two things that happened last night that inadvertently gassed Parris were 1. Parris having to work really hard to get the TD with the leg in the air, he was huffing after that. 2. Getting caught on his back in Cass's legs. Cass has typically given up a big multi point move early vs Parris as well so not doing that obviously helped.
Gobblin, how do you see Chittum fitting in over the next two years? I too like Siebrecht but I’ll be surprised if Chittum is in many one TD matches.
Keep in mind Cobe is FAR from a finished product.. He’s getting better and better by the day. He’s a late bloomer. We’re long overdue for a kid like him.
I think our best lineup has both Chittum and Cobe in it next year. I’m on record saying I think Chittum is a top 3 guy at ‘49 next year. Maybe they swap and Cobe gets back to ‘49. In a perfect world Chittum goes ‘49 for 2 years and bumps to ‘57 after Cobe is done to make room for Block at ‘49. Best part is both wil constantly be pushed hard by Rathjen so we’ll have some nice depth there too. Like I said though, I just know our best lineup will have Cody and Cobe both in it.

Speaking from one dork to another...let me expound a bit. For me personally, I seldom use words such as "never" or "always" (sometimes not even "will" or "won't") because few things in life are absolute (even established scientific laws have changed over time). Yes, I'm pretty much a grammar police kind of guy.
I won't even say "Spencer Lee will win a fourth NCAA title" -- just look at some of wrestling's all-time greats (Gable, Karelin, Sanderson, etc etc).
