TJ Stewart is so sick. We need get Biscuits and Gravy back together @ao_coachphil

he is an absolute beast.

 

[Jason.D.Brantley]

Just ate a Big Mac...so sleepy...it helps numb the pain...

 

[DeangeloVickers]

We’re better off with Caliendo at 65, Siebrecht at 57, and Kennedy on the bench.

No, we need to do better at 57. Siebrecht is a throwers version of Rathjen. Sloppy and not strong enough. Would siebrecht see the mat for psu? Hell no.

 

[Hawkeye in DFW]

Surprised? This is par for course.

The surprising thing so far is the two ugly losses for ped st.

 

[MitchLL]

Does Iowa have the $$$ for portal guys at 133/141/157?

Cause the guys that develop in the room can be counted on a few fingers

 

[js8793]

Everybody needs to chill a little. Rathjen lost to a good wrestler and has a decent wrestleback path. PK is the only disaster. This is not a championship team and have looked decent to start imo.

 

[jmadden1998]

Glazier on deck mat 4

 

[OILCHECKER]

There's a useful lesson in there about guys who were incredibly physically mature by their sophomore years. Neither one of them has made a huge jump since then.

edit: Meant to include him and Chittum. Was not referring to Gabe.

To be fair, chittum was 20 yrs old as a hs sophomore

 

[BIG10MANIAC]

I just want (one time) to see a member of the media ask Tom a really tough question - something like - "Hey Tom, what's up with the first round suckfest"?

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

I think he has #5 next just to stay in tournament?

That dudes not that good though

 

[jmadden1998]

Glazier up now.

This is not the championship team you are right, but that pk loss just represents so much missed opportunity. That was deflating.

 

[js8793]

To be fair, chittum was 20 yrs old as a hs sophomore

And looked 35.

Idk that suckfest is the right word, I’d prefer the question of “why do so many hawks have bone headed ending to matches in March” is there any coaching going on in the corner”

100%

 

[jmadden1998]

Soldano from Rutgers has been down flat on mat 8 for at least 15 min after Bullock pinned him. Not sure what happened.

 

[Libertylover]

Blaze is hard to score on and that was their third time wrestling. I'm just happy he survived.

i blame one person for that and it was the guy on the mat. tom was pleading with him to stay on the gas

No kidding. Time to start giving some responsibility to the athlete for how he performs. Did Brands blame Gable every time they lost?? Is anyone blaming Cael and the best coaches and system for Nago’s regression this year???

 

[ibahwkfan]

I just don't get the love fest for Siebtecht, must be a lot of Lisbon lurkers here. Some people forget he has no offense and was a good (for Iowa) scrambler and has an average or sub par mat game. He's not AA quality.

The way I see it is there's some holes to fill at 133, 141, 149, and 157 next year and if the Hawks want a team trophy they're gonna have to find some answers outside of the kid's who are currently in the room.

 

[jmadden1998]

Glazier scoreless 2 minutes in.

 

[jmadden1998]

Glazier scoreless after 1. Smith goes down.

Couldn’t agree more. If we are settling for hoping for siebrecht to magically be a high AA the hawks are gonna be in big trouble

 

[js8793]

Glazier struggling to open Smith up.

 

[eb05]

glazier having a real tough time with smith’s hand fighting

 

[A Fist Full of Hawkeyes]

Everytime I start to think this rounds going pretty good, the hawks step in a pile of dog shit and bring me back down

Stepping on dog shit is usually accidental.

This is more like stepping in cat shit. They are purposefully strolling around in the litter box.

 

[js8793]

Salazar in a battle against Negron

 

[jmadden1998]

Smith out quickly. 1-0. That’s how the 2nd ends. Glazier goes down. Glazier out. 1-1.

 

[js8793]

Cannot get past Smith's head hands

 

[Muscles1989]

Just no offense for glazier

 

[TDJ7]

I have a bad feeling boyz

 

[jmadden1998]

Going to SV.

 

[STEEL125]

I agree, I meant out of the current roster.

 

[js8793]

This would be so cruel of the wrestling gods

 

[DeangeloVickers]

Smith just blocking for 3 periods so far against Glazier. Ridiculous.

 

[HawkFan1986]

I don’t think smith has any idea what Glazier looks like. He hasn’t been close to him the whole match. What a damn joke!

 

[GableBeer]

There goes glazer.

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

Damn

 

[TDJ7]

Needs more Baldwin

 

[Muscles1989]

There it is, add it to the list

 

[eb05]

saw that coming a mile away. it was fun while it lasted

 

[js8793]

omg i'm gonna be sick
