I wouldn’t be paying to watch these two knowing it’s even a possibility. My bigger concern is making the best decision for them to finish as high on the NCAA podium times four.
they are actually all there, you just can't see them because the lack of windows reduces light and makes hard to see everyone. if you look real close behind Parco you can make out Teemers one leg.
He's looking really strong on top. Riding isn't the issue. Guy is a stud, don't get me wrong. Total badass.
Actually, Iowa ended up winning. They had the scoreboard messed up all day. I think we won 3 matches and our score didn't move.
Sparks is a gigantic 165 pounder.
I think it’s good to remember that he’s basically a true freshman in a big boy weight and only 2 of the 12 guys ranked ahead of him are coming back next year…
wrestling isnt a huge fan backed sport, with the exception of recently. Outside of Iowa wrestling happens a lot with very little fan support.
Yes, I'm not bashing Ben in any way. He's a great kid, World age freestyle gold and silver medalist. Crazy accomplishments!
Tarp:
I think some might think it’s bashing when you say he needs major coaching on takedowns or he’ll never be an ncaa champ. Thanks for clarifying.
Good to know! That's what they were saying in the broadcast, but then I saw the women's team get the 1st place trophy and got all confused.
Different rankings. They are NAIA. Multi-time NAIA champs in fact.
They were bad all day on updating scores. It was actually 215.5 -195 going into that match.
For Ben it’s all about size and horsepower. Every time I see him I can’t believe he’s a heavyweight.
Hmmm…what do those guys have in common vs. our other weights?
If he’s 100% redshirting, why not wrestle unattached? Wouldn’t that give him the same amount of matches today, but also allow him to wrestle 3 more matches later on?
This always cracks me up when I read something like this.
I think you’re being a little harsh on BK. The guy he wrestled in the finals didn’t want to wrestle. He wanted to keep it close and counter and maybe steal it late.
Yeah they are from ASU, you moron. I could have said the same thing about guys like Jeurgens, Lincoln, Zaputil, Brands, etc
What happened to his other leg? Maybe you guys have found your 125. Now that's what I call a team player.
Yeah, I really don't have an issue with them not wrestling. All smart coaches do it. The prize is in March and not December. The only times Cael lets two guys wrestle in the finals is if it's a wrestleoff of sorts. So with that being said, I imagine Gabe is wrestling and Ferrari is RS'ing. Otherwise as a coach, you'd want to see Ferrari under the big lights of a final to see his reaction.
You can muscle through takedowns when you are the same weight - when you give up 20-30 pounds it’s pretty tough to do.
Agreed to disagree. BK did nothing but ride to ride the entire 2nd and stalled the entire 3rd period. He should have been warned far earlier than he was.
There's no secret to his tilt. Middle schoolers know how to do it. He's just an alien and nobody can stop him from doing it because he's so strong.
He's just the typical Ped state cult fan trying to stir things up.
Was Kyle Parco this lethal with tilts with ASU? He might’ve been but I doubt it.
This is what I am talking about, lol. Stupid comment. LOL
1comment, he needs work on riding…Next comment, all he did was ride the whole 2nd period! 🤣 glad you’re able to laugh this stuff off!
In one ear, out the other! Everyone has an opinion on an anonymous board. Means nothing
I’m willing to place a small gentlemen’s bet - $ going to HWC - that Angelo goes this year representing the Hawks at NCAAs at 84. I think he’s got the goods to place at least 3rd and will want to give it a go.
I just don’t see the benefit in doing that. If he takes third and Arnold hypothetically would’ve taken 5th, you lose a year of eligibility for Angelo and risk alienating Arnold for like 3 team points. If we had a legitimate shot at the team title, the decision would be tougher for sure.
