God I wish mendez wrestled for iowa

Back when Mendez was being recruited, I remember a guy on the Inner Circle board that was close with the Mendez family. He posted something along the lines of asking Hector (Mendez dad) what about Jesse going to Iowa. Hector responded with how can Iowa improve Jesse’s skillet. Essentially questioning Iowa’s development. Take that as you will.

Lol dropping the F bomb on live TV.

 

[vhsalum]

Henson is my new fave non-hawk. Damn that kid wrestles hard

 

[sstark46]

What a match. Gonna miss Gomez

"I just want to put on a show. Don't over-think it and just let it flow."

-Coach Henson

We could learn a thing or two or three or four from this kid.

Gomez gets after it.

So do we root for psu for the next two weights?

I will probably root for Messi. Kids a beast love the motor. Just fun wrestling to watch

For what we finished at highest 4th, it time to support whatever wrestler you like more

I don't cheer for anything Cyclone. And Messenbrink is f*n!

 

[MAGAman]

We either have to root for psu or get comfortable on 6th

 

[Sett1997]

We no longer have to watch fix, or lewan again. Things are looking up

Or the caveman!

 

[js8793]

that intro music match up was money. lets go teemer

 

[GableBeer]

Nevermind rooting for Levi after that walkout song

 

[Illinois-hawk1]

Or the caveman!

Or amine

 

[twade70]

WTF is ESPN doing with this broadcast??? Daniel Cormier is a trainwreck. Why did they stop using Gibbons and Tim Johnson???

 

[dtripp26]

ASU brought their running shoes tonight.

 

[Fish Hammer]

I would have stalled out Teemer already

 

[shiphappens]

The announcers even messed up the walk out music. Teemer came out to Wu Tang, not Biggie. Always root for the Wu.

 

[Hawks...#1]

We are a looooong ways away from penn state, its athletes, coaching and culture.

 

[Sett1997]

Penn State wrestlers are so technically sound. They all have the same ride. It's devastating.
It's coaching, they didn't all come there with the same technique

 

[Muscles1989]

ESPN chose Cormier due to his ufc fame. But holy shit he sucks. Gibbons, Johnson, Sparks, JB, homeless man out back would all be better.

 

[Sandor45]

Guys wrestling against penn st guys just don’t do anything. They literally don’t sweat. They turn into kindergarten wrestles thinking about where they’re gonna go eat after the match.
How do we get guys not to do anything against us?

Probably my favorite post of the thread. Cormier is terrible.

Have 6 absolute hammers who can beat you in every single phase and position. Repeat annually.

 

[Bold_Crow]

They're out here doing bible studies at night. They just aren't wired normal for collegiate athletes.

That ride is the difference. Are they just leaning on near side leg ? Bottom guys get on all 4s but don’t move for some reason.

Yeah, you say that until they roll out Ray Flores!

Facts, we are stale moldy bread and they are fresh out of the oven. I have zero faith of much changing under current leadership. Taking off work and setting up camp in my living room to watch this tournament has been a tradition until this year. There just isn't much to be optimistic about.

 

[GlenHawk]

Criminal lol

 

[dtripp26]

These guys got red and yellow pom poms?

 

[MilleGinja]

The difference between 4th and 5th is essentially meaningless, and I like Carr despite him being a Clone.

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

Carr making mm look pedestrian

 

[hawx]

That was wild

 

[Sett1997]

What does Cael have on these refs?? Lmao
What a joke.
At least Carr won.

 

[dtripp26]

These interviews are awful

 

[TarpHawk]

Carr earned that one.

As for Iowa State finishing ahead of Iowa, can we get a quote from Brands on that?

 

[SDHawkDoc]

I like seeing Carr win; don't care that he's a clone. Beating a psu wrestler makes it that much better.

 

[sunshinedynomite]

The point record is safe.
