Iowa chinks in armor?

Brand just took a beating and WArner won but should have been stalled out. Hmm. They will handle fOSU but a match worth warching.

I told you Brands was wildly over-rated after watching his last couple matches on BTN. I think most of the Rating Services had him as high as #3 which is a joke if you've seen him wrestle - he isn't even making the round of 12, let alone the semis LMAO.

I haven't seen a single ranking with him above 6 or 7 and he hasn't been that high since he lost to Braunagel. Tbf to the rankers, he did major Venz and there weren't any other results yet, so it made sense at the time.
 
Here is an Iowa (?) chick in armor: :)

I see an Iowa team with a solid line-up, top-to-bottom. Friday night will be a good gauge for the Penn State team.

Unfortunately, Iowa is going to be without Young, Marinelli, and coach Brands (in addition to anybody else that might test positive in the next week).
 
off the mat issues..he was not a good fit.
His sophomore and junior year he had a couple of off mat issues. By his Senior year he had changed his direction.
Last year he was academic all american.
I take some issue when things get brought up when the kid was pretty young.
Teasdale's known issues still didn't stop Penn State from recruiting him.
This issue I discussed with nausea last year. I just get upset when comments are made without an understanding of the situation.

With Teasdale, we don't know what he was offered scholarship wise, could be it was very little. Also, taking a risk at 125 or 285 makes sense over other weights since they can be tough to fill.

With Sasso I try to be positive, give him scholarship money and another stud may not be at PSU. With Sasso at 149, Van Ness is probably not here.

The way it was told to me, Megaludis was charged with offering Sasso a scholarship, and was told to give it to him in Lorenzo right after Topher and Luke finished their bout. He naturally couldn’t find the mat, so Sammy rang up Tato.
Not the way Tom woulda handled it.

Didn’t Sasso say he wasn’t interested in us so all this crying is for naught?

I brought nothing up.
A simple statement--off the matt issues

This again? First I've heard of Matt related issue. Off the mat, sure, but I have it on good authority that was 4-5 years ago
 
I've been very busy with snow and family issues. I haven't kept up with board and post.
Is the assumption that Howard will not wrestle against iowa even if he's cleared?

There was debate, but of course we have no idea what Cael will do so no actual assumptions. And the dual was postponed (or canceled, who knows) so it is a bit of a moot point as of now.
 
Given that there is no match against Iowa...
I wasn't aware it was postponed.
As noted I have been real busy plus my phone crashed last week. I used old phone with old links.
I have a few minutes now to get caught up on the board since I'm for my father to come out of doctors office.
