Soldier Salute updates - Day 2
- Thread starter Spicolli
- Start date
Cruz can't win if he can't finish a shot. Several missed opportunities. Hard to watch.
Cruz should've won that match 6-2. He's one of those guys that, unfortunately, finds a way to lose.
Drama when the wrestlers couldn’t keep their emotions in check-
Ramos/Dennis
Lee/Ayala
Desanto at Luther when he yelled at a teammates dad
Glazier/ferrari
That’s off the top of my head. I’m not disagreeing that they should wrestle but sometimes when these guys hear the crowd cheering for the other guy when someone wins egos get hurt. I don’t know maybe I’m wrong; I said I was probably in the minority.
Parco looked fantastic in first period, then coasted.
The bout board in the arena lists 74 then 97 next, so I'm starting to think not.
Angelo Ferrari Iowa Won by medical forfeit
Gabe Arnold Iowa

Caliendo beats Sparks 7-6. Anyone watch the match that can give details?
Good match. Late reversal by Caliendo. Riding point won it. Near end, each were standing with other’s single up in air. Can’t say I’ve seen that before.
Other than them wrestling, would have liked to have see Angelo about to do the splits and then give the nah, just having fun wave.
Ironside noting that the crowd is disappointed at not seeing Arnold-Ferrari.
That's the unfortunate downside of not wrestling matches like that--it's what the crowd paid to see: great wrestling.
That would've been the highlight of the tournament.

Do you understand this is a fraction of the number of times Iowa wrestlers have faced off?
Desanto had emotional issues. Making a call based on him is hilarious.
Ferrari wasn’t a Hawkeye. And he’s an insufferable moron. Bad example.
Oh noes…not egos. 😂
Just awful. Glad you got your wish. You can keep your wife’s panties on now.
I’m with you. It could have been the highlight of the tournament. But, here we are…
Kennedy Blades with the 13-3 tech over Latifah McBryde. Salty match with fan bases yelling back and forth during long review, shallenge loast for McB. McB super physical but Kennedy just too quick and strong. She is incredible, and she's just starting out her career.

Seems like they're was something that fueled that too...an overzealous parent perhaps 🤔
Regardless, the Ferrari thing was the only one of any substance... and that couldn't be avoided. Seems like a meltdown was inevitable there.
Would love to see a Arnold/Ferrari match but maybe this is the best thing for now.
Every time I see Aedon Sinclair all I can think of is "Odoyle Rules"
Then why have other Hawkeyes wrestle each other. If legit injury can understand, but why do you have Drake wrestle?
All I can think is his forehead is so long if he shaved his head he’d look like a conehead.
Spencer being in the room is so obvious. He's taught some of these guys the tilt.
Merrill over Salazar 4-2. Kid is legit.
Buchanan taking it to Sinclair, gives up a sort of sloppy TD in the third, but wins 15-4.

College wrestling needs a push out point rule, imo.
Foeller vs. Life wrestler on the women's side for all the marbles, team score differential is 1.5. And Life wrestler wins 2-1. Life wins the tourney 199-196.5.
Definitely on board with this. I think it fixes a lot of stalling issues since it’s overly apparent it’s not going to get called as it should
