US Open Sr freestyle thread

[hawx]

Steveson said it pretty well, a part of this is a sport and there's entertainment value. Sure, Olympic success is a nice dream but it's rare and the sport has become a business along the way. People pay to see "matches". People pay to sponsor Iowa guys. Yes, injury is part of the sport, but so is the consequence that people move on or alter expectations. Honestly, I wasn't expecting Spencer to wrestle and was excited when he did. Even more with the collision with Suriano. Then, that goes away. The last two matches I followed him - and Jaydin for that matter - they defaulted out. I'm still a fan. But, that frustrates me as a fan. Nobody owes anything to me but I do pay to support Iowa wrestling, I do follow and cheer for the team, I do buy the apparel, and I do make change my expectations based on trends. That's all. Take it for all it's worth. We can't build or accept a culture that makes it too easy to default out!

Does DeSanto get a bye to Final X with a win tonight?

Dense? If you can't understand the difference between 1 and 5 defaults, nor the difference between defaulting after a loss versus randomly picking a point in the tournament after a win, then.....funny, the same people who say "Drop it" then revive the conversation.

An incident versus a trend....that's what affects recruiting

Thanks for outing yourself as a PSU troll.

He’s clearly not right if he defaulted after a win. It makes it that much more obvious. Dense, yes, it seems that way.

Except last time it was after a loss...what does that make it?

Starocci is a mff, Marinelli will wrestle for 3rd

Wow, not a good look for PSU wrestling

Yep. All winners tonight get a spot at Final X.

61, 92, and hwt will have another tourny next month(Last Chance) to decide the 2nd finalist. The other 7 weights already have the returning World medalists sitting at Final X.

*note finals tonight are just 1 match

Thanks for telling us exactly what you and other schools are hearing and saying though....we'll get right on fixing that!

At least you could get refreshments when you passed the bar.

Oh no question about that

No pbp, but I will give updates in the finals thread
