Nebraska PBP Thread

I think Nebby should get more credit. They have kids that neither Iowa or PSU will want to face at Nationals.

True...the Nebbies have been fighters in every weight tonight with the exception of 125. Not many championship caliber wrestlers, but they're tough. Hopefully most of them end up on the other side of the bracket from our Hawks.
 
HWT.
#15 Christian Lance (9-4) vs. #3 Tony Cassioppi (11-0).
Loss by Warner has deflated the whole building. Tony needs to turn that around. Ironside thinks he will.
Ironside imploring Tony to wake up the crowd.
Tony using heavy hands on Lance but he is keeping us separated.
First period ends w/no score. Ironside can't believe it.
We need to force our style on our opponent. We're letting Nebby dictate the pace.
 
We didn’t wrestle nearly our best against a really good team and still stomped them. A couple years ago we needed a pin from stoll to beat Illinois at home.

I think Nebraska has done quite a bit of scouting. They seem to have pretty specific strategies particularly in the ties and neutral positions.

Lance starts the 2nd period down. Tony picks him up and puts him down hard. Now Manning wants locked hands and refs are looking at video replay. Refs say no locked hands. Let's wrestle. Now blood time for Lance. Now escape for Nebby. Leads 0-1. Ironside wants Tony to get a leg. And just like that he does. Drags him back to center and gets the TD. Crowd into it. Marinelli waving his bandanna. Tony riding hard to end the 2nd period and leads 2-1 w/RT. Tony called for stall warning at end of period.
 
Murin and Warner are going to have to bring more offense going forward or it’s going to cause issues for the Hawks in the NCAA’s.
Yep. These are the two we can least count on at this point. Good hard working kids but too limited offensively.
 
Tony starts down and escapes immediately. Leads 3-1. Crowd is wooing loudly. Tony working hard for another leg. Lance not doing anything. Fake shot into a snatch. Tony gets leg but Lance circles around and escapes. Lance hits a snatch and gets in on Tony's leg. Tony reverses the hold and gets a TD. Nice move. Crowd gets loud as Tony rides him out for 6-1 win. Iowa wins 26-6.

They look good tonight. They just lost to Sconnie 22-18. FWIW

A dominating win over a solid team, but the hawks will need to wrestle better than that to win a team title.

133, 141, 149, 157, 165, 174 and 197 were less than impressive.

I'm probably younger than you, buddy.

Take your lazy label insult attempts and shove them up your favorite team's arse. (And again, if your favorite team is Iowa, then shove them up your weaker version that is not as good as the actual version of Iowa's arse......)

Still keep dealing with it....:)

P.S. You're not gonna win. Just accept that Iowa wrestlers > your team

Tom Brands says we were flat. Warner worried about the match before him apparently. We don't have to be in those positions. We need to get on a roll for ourselves. Prayers to Sorenson. We probably got to CHA too early tonight. Too many guys talking to the crowd tonight. Nebraska came in to beat us. We got out strategized and outcoached tonight. We didn't adjust. Ironside praises Abe Assad. Tom says he is a high level wrestler. Great throw by from Abe. True freshman. He gets ready to go. Marinelli got whamo bammo thank you maamo. We finished what we started, but should have opened things up more. Good gut check type of victories by Marinelli and Kaleb Young. DeSanto can't get his right arm back because that guy can't turn him. We gotta be a lot better when Ohio State comes to town. We need to make some adjustments. We can be a lot better. Rock and roll next Friday night for arctic plunge. Brands is pure stream of conscience when he's interviewed.

Lol. You probably can't even start a lawn mower or change a tire. I'm certain you can't do taxes.
Gfy disrespectful idiot. Tom and Terry are boomers. Say that shit to them.
Stupid punk.

I think you are being a little hard on Bull and Kem. They had a couple tough opponents. White is damn good and finished 5th last year (ahead of Bull). Labriola is a returning AA. They could have wrestled better, but they both gutted out wins.
 
Last comments by Grace and Ironside.
Bonus points weren't there tonight. Not enough in-match adjustments. Might have been feeling too good about ourselves after last weekend.
This was a good time to have it happen. 197 was a kicker. We didn't look all that great. Got stiff armed by Nebby. Fell into their trap. Not enough angles and scramble situations. We just kinda stood out there with them. Can't believe Cassioppi did that. Not like him. DeSanto too. Work on other things and make adjustments in the match. Mix things up. We didn't put a whole lot of things together tonight to put points on the scoreboard. Ohio State is ranked #4 right now.
