McHenry’s shoelaces come untied in the room too?Did you guys catch JBs remark that LL vs McHenry "went just about like it did in the room".
I remain skeptical of ALL reports of what happens in ANY room.
Iowa reports are notoriously bullish (e.g. Teasdale destroying everyone except Spencer, Grothus looking like a finalist, etc)
That probably should have been the finals match.Did you guys catch JBs remark that LL vs McHenry "went just about like it did in the room".
Upset alert!LL Ranked 33 (freshman) v Army's Farmer ranked 21. Hopefully Willie will have his eraser ready.
