Match Thread Iowa dual thread - Jan 31

[Nitlion1986]

I like that this VERY good Iowa team needed other colleges to develop their wrestlers for them. And their fans wonder why Cael beats their ass in the recruiting game. And I'll say this, I'm not one of those saying how much better Teemer, Parco and Buchanon are now that they are getting coaching at Iowa. To me, they are what they are....or should I say were.

Their conditioning that first year improves a great deal. The better conditioning allows them to wrestle better as the match plays out. As the second year progresses the wear and tear seems to start manifesting in nagging injuries.

I've never thought Iowa rentals improve their wrestling skills at Iowa. I mean really. Iowa had a transfer kid who was obviously ahead of his Penn State opponent and the Penn State coaching staff had the PSU kid wrestle the Iowa with 1 hand tied behind his back. Presto the PSU kid won and the only thing the Iowa staff could offer the Iowa kid on how to wrestle a kid who wrestled him with one hand tied behind his back was to tap out when cradled.

The Wharf on Derry St has a big McDevitt Wrestling banner out front. I've never gone there to watch wrestling, but might be worth a shot.

The owners said they were asked if it could be displayed, and they said sure. No ties to the program. I'll bet they would switch it on for you. You could try the Borough in Hummelstown.

133 is the only weight where they are favored,....

Ah, yet another product of common core?

Or are you accepting the wrestlestat projections over national rankings as the gospel?

Any sharps in here? Lol, What’s u guys think of the DraftKings line on the PSU v Iowa dual? It’s PSU-21.5 could be a good bet to make some money?

Based on surveying 49 wrestling fans so far, partisan and neutral, the average score prediction is PSU 25.2 Iowa 7.6 for a spread of 17.6

The distribution looks like this:



Take it for what it is worth.

The same ref who Terry called an asshole or asswipe? The same ref whose stall call on Teemer caused Tom to question his objectivity since he was from Ohio.

If I was that dude, I’d be on a hair trigger to ring their asses up. Plus, I’d stall Teemer out by the 2nd if he played his back up game

Not sure how Terry got away with that without getting ejected.

Raises the question, does the ref have to give a warning first or did he just have no balls?

Based on my subjective projections with the use of Intermat rankings.

Unless two wrestlers have met before, I consider it a toss-up when two wrestlers are ranked within 3 spots of each other.

Intermat rankings
125 - PSU (7) v Iowa (26) - PSU fav
133 - PSU (7) v Iowa (3) - Iowa fav
141 - PSU (3) v Iowa (?) - PSU fav
149 - PSU (4) v Iowa (2) - PSU fav (previous results)
157 - PSU (3) v Iowa (1) - toss-up
165 - PSU (1) v Iowa (2) - PSU fav (previous results)
174 - PSU (2) v Iowa (6) - PSU fav
184 - PSU (1) v Iowa (5) - PSU fav
197 - PSU (4) v Iowa (1) - toss-up
285 - PSU (2) v Iowa (11) - PSU fav

If fans want to call Buchanon the favorite based on experience and #1 ranking ... that's fine, but I don't.

BTW: what the F... is with the common core comment? Did my opinion upset you that much?

Wondering if any women attend PSU wrestling matches, or is it all older white men?

Agreed, but then again Terry has actually touched a ref during live action with no consequence.

It was in the infamous HWT match vs Illinois when Iowa was losing by 5 pts, and Deuce Rachal hit The Rachal on himself vs Sam Stoll. Terry ran around the boundary to get a better view of the pin and actually hit the ref on the back with his hand -- while the ref was down on the mat, checking for the fall.

The ref should have stopped the match, awarded Stoll NF3, ejected Terry, and docked Iowa a team point. It would've probably cost Iowa the dual (maybe they win on tiebreakers if Stoll pinned Rachal anyway?). You get what Terry earned.
