NCAA Championship Thread : Session III
- Thread starter Vallholl
- Start date
What do you do for a living? Are you world class at what you do? I don't know you but the odds are against it. Are you just pretty good? Maybe you're only ok? Shall we call you "garbage" too? Just calling a spade a spade.
It isn't the losing that is frustrating, some of the other guys are just better. It's how we lose. Love Murin's match, he lost. Cobe, made dumb mistakes he shouldn't be making. Nelson and Abe did nothing and lost, that is the frustrating part. When we don't even try to score points until late, wrestling with no urgency... If we let it fly and get beat, so be it, but when we wrestle so conservative and lose, that frustrates me.
Smart tough wrestling by Big Tony.
it was close in Carver. Time to take down Parris

As a big guy I lost a match in like 8th grade in double over time. One of our "cheerleaders" saw me a little emotional after that and said what are you going to do now eat? I'm 38 years old and that still stings a little.
You have to actually watch the match and know the opponents before complaining like you did.
1.) Murin lost to a guy that is going for his FOURTH NCAA Title by 1 point, nearly getting nearfall at the end to win. Anyone even using that match to complain loses all credibility, even if you preface it with "love".
2.) Cobe is wrestling injured. His style is loose, but he isn't in good enough physical shape to win positions he normally would.
3.) Nelson was wrestling a guy that NOONE scores on. The way Nelson wrestled this tournament, he doesn't deserve a BIT of criticism so far.
4.)I can see being upset with Abe. So far, and injuries may play a big part in why, he is simply a 12-15ish type guy. He lost a 1 point match to the #11 guy. I get wanting more, but he is about what he should be for how he has wrestled his career so far...
I get the letting it fly argument from regular fans, but it just isn't that easy. The guys that "let it fly" actually have the skillset to do so(see Spencer Lee). With how good counters are now, all letting it fly would do for most of these guys is get them far behind early in matches
Yikes. That sucks even more since he appears to be very disciplined wearing a mouthguard. Hopefully he gets a GOLD tooth to replace it!!!
Agree with all.
What an effort by Max. Cobe doesn’t lose that position if he has a shoulder. Nelson was the aggressor in 1st period. Nelson lost to a better, bigger wrestler. Barely.
But back then we were doing what's best for the sport........We would if you guys had done something similar during the 70's, 80's, and 90's.
Intentional head butt by Schultz
great job by cass. overcame a garbage stall call and knew he needed a takedown. schultz wanted the rideouts
If you go back to when he was first recruited.
He was a guy everyone was saying should win a couple titles.
Same was said for Warner if I believe.
How many kids have truly made great strides since coming here?
Lamer pins Gomez. Murin will have to beat Lamer tonight to AA
GOMEZ PINNED. Murin has Lamer from Michigan to AA! Come one Max!!!
Iowa’s all American odds probably just changed back to five!
Don’t know if you are talking about upper weights only or the whole team? Iowa has a great track record with lower weights (the guys the Brands train with). Our upper weights have been a struggle and you can blame both upper weight coaches and recruiting.
Didn't Abe's ranking drop quite be a bit his senior year.
Assad is world class? I’m assuming that’s the correlation that you’re trying to make.
Was “garbage” too strong? Ok. Assad is “not good.” Is that better? Cut ties now and find something better. He’s never going to be an AA and that what Iowa should be focused on.
wtf?
Abe was never pegged to win any titles.
There may have been some hype for Warner, but nobody was engraving the medals.
