Session III - PBP

Ironside
REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT MEYER AND KEMERER MATCH BACK
They figure that Iowa would be 2 points down to PSU an PSU has 197 / HWT left
"It'd be convenient to have Stoll as well"
ISU is done. Scored 1 point.
 
Sammy's match was the perfect example of "sometimes it's better to be lucky than good." I thought he was toast when Parker hoisted him into the air. Great SA and quick reaction!
Im really not sure how he came out of that on top... but glad he did
 
Anybody actually calling today a choke job (thus far) needs only to look at their own idiotic expectations.

Gilman rolling as expected. Clark AA. Sorensen being Sorensen.

Sure Kem hurt, but hes a frosh with a shot at 3rd.

Meyer was a great positive to be wrestling where he was today and almost had it.

They have wrestled "up" so far, even if you want to consider Clark and Sorensen 2 seeds.

They weren't in the team race to begin with, they wrestled great yesterday and some decided that meant everyone was going to win titles.
 
So i think what creates the most angst is the lack of debelopment or when that development is peaking. Add that to the fact that PSU is wrestling on another world right now and casual fans are saying WTF? Shit, fans that are up to date with the wrestling landscape are saying WTF.

I agree. But these same guys will be chirping if retherford beats Sorensen and nickel beats brooks even though they wouldn't be choke jobs

I would ALMOST wager Iowa doesn't win a wrestling natl title as long as Cael is at PSU. They won't get enough horses to ever compete with that talent. Pennsylvania is LOADED with hs talent, and Cael gets whatever the hell he wants.
Lee and Teasdale ring any bells? Not too mention a few we picked up the last couple years.

ESPN main channel did a replay and Johnson called it a "cow catcher" and Brooks
Ironside / Grace saw video
"Parker had a body lock"
"Brooks used his momentum and his hips to lift thru and it was tight"
Ironside called it "Almost a Rico Roll"

it was a Mullet Mauling

This...

Kemerer and Meyer win back to AA.
Everyone gets as greedy as possible to win.
Iowa finishes 2nd is as high as I ever thought.
Next year is a down year
Get the recruits in, redshirt them. Get healthy.
2 to 3 years away.
But, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just not next year.
 
I'm not sure about "top", but at least on the same level. We ABSOLUTELY need to keep the recruiting momentum up.
Totally not a choke job. We are wrestling fine. Just not enough studs. It would be interesting to know what Kem gameplan was. We need to recruit even better. Need to make sure we have holes at least filled next year. If Stoll not recovered, Holloway to heavy, who is 197?

Can't deny what PSU has done. They also have 5x the amount of hs wrestlers and more a rich recruiting territory. He couldn't get it done at ISU which is why he left. I realize PSU is like the new kid on the block, but until you win nine in a row or 15 in 20 years, nothing really to say. But congrats on your five titles.

Just disappointed and p'd off. I've since stepped back from the ledge. Lol
I want to see us win a NC again. Sick of PSU winning every year.

Wait a couple years. We'll be back on top in a big way.

Love your confidence, but I remember people saying similar things a few years ago. PSU was supposed to 'come back down to Earth' after Taylor and Ruth graduated or when Cael no longer had the advantage of the extra guys who followed him from ISU.

Unfortunately, they appear to have reloaded without missing a beat, still winning when it matters most and still scoring plenty of bonus points. And it's not just that they win, it's how they win. Smart, aggressive. Makes me sad.
 
Mullet Mauling, eh?

So, if I typed in the PBP this:

"Parker standing, has a body lock and they go over but Sammy's business upfront and party in the back, counting and now the fall for Brooks."

AKA : "BUPB"

You guys can follow that?

Can you try to fit Rico in there somewhere?

Penn in state tuition helps and being creative with out of state tuition.

So far Iowa is performing very good. A win by Meyer would have been sweet. A lot left to happen tonight though. Hawks are only favored in one of the semis. Meyer will have a tough match to make AA.

If things go bad tonight we could be in 4th and not feeling so great.
