According to Shane, he is electric. Anything could have happened.

He knew he couldn't win in ride outs so he had to take a chance.
Manning has spent more time on the mat than any of his wrestlers
That… was a lot of fun. Hats off to CStar.
You guys got a good one. Hope he stays there.
It’s the Iowa way to recruit over their top prospects!😎
If i gave you my number, would you give it to max for me?
Need to talk to him about "something"...
Very funny lol. I know the family, I think him leaving would be the most shocking wrestler exit of any that I’ve seen. But I’m just going to enjoy the moment at this point.
Iowa has a chance of no champions?
It's also the Iowa way to pucker up when it matters

Another Hawkeye loss! Hawkeye tears sweeter than honey!
Nope, otherwise Carter would have got a point in the 3rd when he finally got warned. Maybe there is a limit to how many stalls they can call and they used them up on Lilledahl?
I guess Bob targeted the wrong mercenary
Iowa is peaking at the right moment.
As usual, Tom had them peaking the last week in January
Not to rub salt in the wound (maybe a little), but it's the first time since 2018 that Iowa has no individual Big 10 champions
**edit, I forgot, they didn't have any last year either... ouch
The team is 11 points ahead of last year’s team. But Carter scored 21.5 this year and 0 last year. But also Barr was prob good for 6-8 more points had he not gotten hurt.
I reported you post for piling on....
