100%. you should see what i say about Iowa over on HR
FYI - when I was coaching HS in WA, we had a first year guy with a lot of talent who was also a physical specimen. He was leading his opponent in a tournament but got called several times for locking hands. I was yelling from the corner for him to cut the guy and go neutral but he didn’t and got DQd for the final locked hands call. I asked him why he didn’t cut the guy loose and he told me he couldn’t understand what I was saying between the crowd noise and his headgear.
There’s a pretty good chance that Cael’s corner was trying to let MM know that he was losing on RT, but he couldn’t understand what they were saying. We might learn more in the upcoming interviews.
Hidlay tried to wrestle Aaron. He got suffocated.
people in their feelings about a tongue in cheek comment
I’m not either and that’s why it will be interesting but right do you think he beats SVN? That’s the question. Obviously what he accomplished is incredible
Yikes. Maybe you don't know, but wrestling is a pretty physically demanding sport. There's plenty of moves within the rules that cause cause stress on muscles and joints. If you put a power half on a kid like the other Steiber who's shoulders were basically held together by Elmers glue, that's the sport.
Iowa State 68.5
Iowa 67
Brands will be at Admissions Office on Monday with the Ferrari Brothers and the sister.

Exactly. What is Hidlay (or any other 197 pounder this year) supposed to do against Brooks? He’s just that much better.
PSU could have split the team in half and the won both first and second with 26.5 points left over.
Yes, absolutely. I fully support DT's disdain for him, and am eager to watch JB to fall to a Penn Stater in a few weeks.
Agreed. That's what trying to wrestle Aaron Brooks looks like.
You're getting pushed to the edge, taken down, and ridden like a mule.
they were fantastic this year...
Last time I saw that many Records I was in the Malt Shop with a fist full of nickels.
Noone actually knows Cael's contract, but if it is based on incentives, Penn State's Athletics Department is now bankrupt!
At what point in the match did he have any opportunity to take even a weak, easily countered shot?
The prophecy of “8 scoring wrestlers” has manifested. Gunsy was in the Hot Tub Time Machine, should have asked for crypto advice when we had the chance 😃
WRONG! Brands will be in the ADs office being told to get better results or else.
Well, I mean maybe you got to go deep into your creel, hit a Gomez, try a headlock 🤷♂️but nothing can’t be your answer
I did it, poorly. As an untalented, undersized, late to the game without the right build guy who joined a high school team on lark with a buddy, because we needed something athletic on college applications, trust me I understand the rigors of the sport. Sweat, blood, fatigue and discomfort are part of the game and as is their intentional infliction.
Those are the same reasons I was glad that the rules were designed to prevent intentional injury, because if intentional injury was allowed; I'd have been in a wheel chair for the past few decades.
At the same time Burroughs is auditioning to be a coach and talking about how the couch makes a "man"; he's on TV contemplating/encouraging the targeting of an injury without regard for his opponent's health.
You wrestle an opponent, not an enemy.

Bad take by both guys. But Burroughs take is the worse of the 2. I mean it’s literally the point of MMA to punch your opponent in the face. It’s not the point of wrestling to intentionally make an opponents injury worse
The hawks missed out on a team trophy, but they didn’t go home empty handed. The two most powerful blocs in wrestling, The Slush and the PAID IOWA HATERS, sponsored and presented them with the inaugural LEVEL PLAYING FIELD AWARD. Guess it’s true, you get what you earn.
Try to wrap your head around this stat: We finished 6 points behind Ohio State, Nebraska, and Oklahoma State combined. These three traditional powers were a scant few placement points from Davis or Nagao from being topped by Penn State alone. Wow.
That music is NOT better than Mr. Hank Jr, thank you VERY much! Not in Biglerville, not anywhere!
Correct. Wrestling is a tough sport and injuries happen, but there are a lot of rules in place to try to keep the injuries to a minimum. If a wrestler does something that is perceived as a deliberate attempt to injure their opponent, or if they don’t use proper technique and cause an injury (like a slam) they get DQd.
A few years ago, J’Den Cox got a little too enthusiastic and slammed his opponent on the floor, outside the mat area. He got DQd on the spot. Cox had the decency to write an apology to the other wrestler afterwards. If you make a public statement on TV about your intention to deliberately injure another wrestler, I don’t think that’s going to sit well with the rest of the wrestling community.
That’s not the best way to think about it IMO. Take the top scorer’s points at each weight from that (or any) set of schools and compare that sum to our total …
