The best part was Ono giving a shout out to PSU coaches and wrestlers during post match interview in front of Hawkeye faithful. It was the only part I understood lol
Coralville Freestyle event - Feb 26

I turned it off after the match. Did Ono commit to PSU?
Maybe I'm misremembering but it always seems like big matches and tournaments turn into a Penn State Wrestling infomercial...
Are we certain Barr doesn't considering dropping if he struggles against big 197 pounders. Obviously if he finishes top 3 this year I would assume that he will stay at 197.
I don't know. His engrish not so gwate...
No, but the Flo cameras followed Spencer back to the weight room to film a few sets.
Ono is just as good on top. He could’ve ended the match as well if he got on top. He turned everyone at worlds including Uguev and Vito. Pretty sure he turned the guy in the finals 3 times.
Nah. Non-U.S. wrestlers have never heard of Cael. I learned that reading GIA.
It was like watching an Iowa dual. No takedowns by any Iowa wrestlers.
Guys trying to learn the normal English language should never have to hear brands blabbering. You would think you’re making progress and then you’re asking, “Why did he call me a politician lover?” “Where’s the polish corner?” “Why does he want to fight my dad?”
Yeah, I don't think I agree with Nolf's reasoning, but that's what it was.
Define “struggles.” He lost one match in two years, to a guy 4 years his senior who wrestled 197 his whole career.
I turned it off after the match. Did Spencer split state? When’s Lar sitting down with Flo to let us know what happened? How many injuries and illnesses was Lee dealing with?
So yes, as an Engineering TA?
@js8793 you're taking a lot of abuse on the Hawk board. Even getting the typical Penn State insult tossed at you. Welcome to the club!
it was a great night to be a hawkeye fan.
I’m not certain. I assumed it would happen, dropping, until this year’s success and I think it’s still probably a consideration regardless of how the year ends.
I didn’t see the post match interviews, what did Larry Lee have to say?
With Nickal and Retherford coaching Ono, it appears Bo and Zain are still Iowa's Daddy!
"That's what we do"
"That's what we do"
Word on the street is that Ono made a pitstop at PSU for a month to get on the Juice prior to wrestling Lee. Also Aaron Brooks didn't wrestle because he couldn't make weight after giving his Vyvance prescription to Ono. Oh and the refs should have called grounding on all three pushouts.
I love the culture that Cael has built at PSU. Putting Nick Lee in a coaching role, as well as Zain on the NLWC staff, is awesome. Add in Bo, who already has a good MMA career going, still helping out and rolling with our guys.
It's a great time to be a PSU wrestling fan!
Ono has learned to "I have fun" pretty well.
Well, he did say "fun" in the interview, so I guess it's all wrapped up and that's that. Ono to PSU. 
watching so many Ono videos these last few days I have noticed he says funny instead of fun and it just makes his enthusiasm come through even more
Trying hard not to show Ono in a NLWC shirt.
I think Pyles and Shane were spiffed every time they could cram Wrestle Town USA into the conversation.
I made that comment after the match and my wife nearly spit out her drink.
Can't pencil Ono into the 2026 finals yet, I'm told PSU landing him isn't a big deal .. he'll never get out from bottom, he'll stall for 7 minutes and ride parallel ... What did I miss?
Hilarious… also noticed “so cool” gets thrown around a lot
