Iowa dual thread - Jan 31

Sorry man — to be clear, I was not trying to knock your post. Just having a fan flashback to the frustration of knowing what he didn’t in real time, while having every confidence he would have gotten what he needed in the closing seconds if only he knew he needed it. He was the better wrestler, which made that kind of loss a tough pill to swallow.

Fortunately, it does not appear it will
hold him back at all this season.


No offense taken. You offered important context and when somebody refines one of my contentions, I think the least I can do is acknowledge it and thank them. If I run my yap (or keyboard), I should have a thick skin.
 
I saw that. Seamus went full Defcon 5 on them. Johnstown would be proud
😂.
Might have to check that out. Anyway, home from the match. Really not much can be said. If all that money they are spending in Iowa was intended to close the gap...I'm not seeing it all. In fact, I was thinking about calling Trump to have Elon and DOGE go there to clean house..

No other school is closing the gap, even if they outspend everyone else.
 
By the way, if you listen to them, you can see that not only do we dominate them on the mat, but we dominate them on the radio with Byers maybe worse 😂
 
I haven’t gotten through all the posts, yet, so sorry if this has already been said .
. . But Kasak clenching a victorious fist in the air with one arm while holding a former #1 Hawkeye in the air with the other is going to be another spontaneous, iconic moment for this program.

Recruit on the big stage.

Absent him not knowing he was down a RT point as the last seconds ticked off the clock.
[Edit: I had not read the earlier posts on this topic before I responded.] The poor start to that match is what cost MM. Only three seconds into the match he sloppily marched right into a blast double from Carr. Bigger than that, though, was Carr then rode him for 1:42, thus shortening the time MM had available to get to his offense. MM seemed a little too hyped and didn't wrestle to his ability. The mental error of not knowing he was trailing in the third was the final nail in the coffin. Had he known the score, he had a full minute to push the pace and either get a stall call or TD. Had MM wrestled to his ability, both physically and mentally I think he would have won. All that being said, the bottom line is Carr deserved that win.

You're welcome
 
Looks like Brands didnt want him to watch. That’s kind of funny.
I'm assuming Gabe was either saying something or doing something and it was better that he was removed from the situation. I can't imagine that there is a reason in this world other than what I just typed why you wouldn't want the guy who is going to be wrestling in the post season, to not see an opponent live. Not only do you want him to see that opponent live, you get to watch someone who you train with every single day wrestle him. That would have been valuable information. Would love to hear Brands answer why Gabe was removed.
