I wasn’t able to listen to Byers call tonight. How was his performance???
Iowa dual thread - Jan 31
- Thread starter PSUwrestling
- Start date
OK I just got finished reading the comments on this thread after the match was over. I didn't want to be distracted while everything was happening.
jmadden and is - you guys seemed a little more chippy than usual tonight. I get it. You were expecting more of a battle from your Hawks. To be honest, so was I. That was a real beatdown. If you guys wanted to stir up the Penn State fans, you missed your chance after the PSU vs Notre Dame game. Most of us are also football fans and we were pretty much in the same mood afterwards. The one difference there was that we lost a game that we had a good chance to win.

Going to use all five of Ferrari's dates and "they won't be against cupcakes." In other words, more ducking for Arnold.
I’m still unbelievably high on Barr, but I think tonight showed that 184 is his best weight long term.
149, 157 & 197:

7 of the Top 12 at 197 are seniors. Barr will be just fine at 197. he's been nothing short of a revelation this season. why mess w/ that?
The problem with winning so much is you can't just enjoy it. I came away from tonight feeling that we underperformed by giving up 8 points and just missing some bonus points at other weights and CStar not getting a takedown. Cael needs to tighten the screws a bit before Big Tens.
You’re an amazing story teller and PBP specialist. Did you have any obstacles on your post 1st period jaunt? You didn’t seem gassed but did that take anything away from experience? How many wife and kid-free rooms do you possess for us?
Thank you!
In 10 yrs… PSU is something like 132-2 with the 2 losses by 2 pts and 1 pt!
Yeah, replying to every post on an opps message board, trying to shame posters that even dared bring up Gabe's non activity after he decided to tough talk to the media is really something.
You run your mouth as a public figure to journalists, you're going to get discussed, it's that simple.
Also, I know exactly who needs to hear this, but here, you can simultaneously enjoy a big win and discuss a big talkers inactivity. You don't have to choose one or the other.

Wrestling on a knee and in reverse allowed him to get under Carter's hands a little. I have to believe adjustments will make his preferred technique less effective as he goes. Ferarri 's flexibility will always serve him well.
Congrats!! You were wrong!My feeling/prediction is that Iowa will indeed be Penn State's toughest challenge. I am feeling it will be 7-3 or even 6-4 with a couple of overtimes. Most importantly......I want to be sooooo wrong15 minutes to go!
I do and I am. Yet not getting the shut out saddens me. Man, I remember when Iowa could wrestle with Penn State.

Don't get down on Barr guys. 2 seconds totally changed that match in my opinion. Had he not been down on that riding time point I think he takes a different approach in the final minute. I'll be honest, after the match I looked at Paul and told him I was pleased the way it unfolded. The month of February is going to help flip that score. Book it..
Barr is right there. Needs to rebound vs. Cardenas next week. It’s all about March!
There should be added drama to how many finalists and champs PSU will have.
Additional drama will be if PSU sets the record for most points scored with the fewest non finalist AAs.
I am enjoying my team and their historical dominance run. That and the fact the Dallas Cowboys sucked again this year.
This was no big deal. When I wrestled in HS, I used to flex all the time while holding the #1 in the air with one arm at the end of matches.
Ferrari essentially stalled until the Final minute of the match. Carter rode him pretty well - but Carter rides everyone well. As far as that goes, I thought Ferrari did pretty well on bottom, especially for a trFR - he still gave up RT-ADV, but did better than most do from bottom against Carter. In terms of the score...., it's a bit misleading as Ferrari was really never close to beating Carter and the score was only as low as it was because Ferrari was on wheels to the edge of the mat and refused to wrestle for all but the final minute (at that point, Carter was like - I'm done with this nonsense and just held him at bay to the horn).
The squawkeye morons claiming the stall calls weren't legit, are quite amusing - the Ref could have called him for more stalling, if anything (the Ref also bailed him out re: the TD on the edge - there is no "reaction time" in that situation and the TD is instantaneous in that situation. That should have been 3 imho.). Additionally, Ferrari attempting to wrestle with both feet several feet OB AFTER the Ref told him to move in-bounds toward center is without question an automatic stall call.
Ferrari was never close to taking Carter down and the score was misleading.... was not as close as score would indicate.
Not too often you see guys ranked 1, 2, 2, 6 all lose in a single dual match....and if Arnold (5) wrestled that would have been another.
Remember when the light bulb came on for Q late in his soph season? The light bulb seems to have come on for Tyler after his first match at NCAAs last year. Hasn't lost since. 17-5 before. 20-0 since.
I saw nothing last night that tells me that Buchanan wins next time.
You're showing your age with that comment.
I don't often do this, but we should give Gabe Arnold a pass. Jmadden1998 asking to let it go is good advice. That's all I'll say on the subject.
Obviously Barr is a solid 197. Just spit balling but (IF) Josh could get back down to 84 without suffering would you (Cael) push for that to make room for Connor Mirasola?
It will be won in the room. That’s where their real competition is. We’ll see over the summer and nto the fall. The guys figure it out on their own.
Clorby (whatever his name is) said on the other site that insults were being hurled at Gabe from the stands.
Anyone have total ride time? Nits dominated on top tonight. Several Iowa guys looked gassed in P3.
Maybe it was staying up late last night, but I just went to HR to read their match thread (I know, dumb idea!), and didn’t see one? Did their mods nuke it already?

Just wondering the level of "Book it" that you're using? Is it a Gabe Arnold level "Book it", or an official JTS sanctioned "Book it"?
It depends on what Cael thinks of the twins at 197 and Heavyweight moving forward.
I can summarize for you. PSU is stalling. PSU stall rides, more PSU stalling, replace Brands, steroids, more stalling, more steroids, more replace Brands.
