If over the next three years Messenbrink wrestles another 15 matches and finishes 19-1 with 18 bonus point wins i don't think anyone is going to diminish his greatness.

Just like JB, he had it coming by running his mouth. You don't get to play the victim after running your mouth.
Clorby, Cristina, and Flo suck up to Iowa and will do whatever it takes to remain relevant with that program.
The adjustment that needs to be made are by the ref making Ferrari stay towards the middle of the mat. The ref can make a match . This sport can be very entertaining but not when a guy works the edge. I also feel the same when a guy is on top and doesn't try to turn. Kerk is a guy that dominates when riding but is he truly looking to turn.
I would think TnT somehow believe that Gabe is right there with Carter and not wrestling last night gives PSU one less data point to use in game planning for Gabe.
Yeah, I know. I didn't say cognitively the logic is brilliant I was taking a stab at it.
8 finalists is beginning to look not so preposterous.
I have been doing, watching, coaching this wrestling thing for a long time. Very few IMARs come along. Not sure using IMAR as a bar is very fair.
Thanks! I got annoyed with Turk a while back and put him on ignore. That’s why I couldn’t see it!Iowa versus PSU - dual thread
starting at 125 lots of question marks lilledahl/mchenry listed at 125 davis/garcia at 133 Block/schriever for Iowa at 141 ANGELO at 184 with no Gabe - that should go over well onlineiowa.forums.rivals.com
I don’t agree, I saw a bit of separation. Buchanan was in on three shots and scored. Josh never once threatened to score, not even close.

I was thinking sending Ferrari out to wrestle Carter was kind of a good deed type of intervention TnT did for Mr. Ferrari. I understand Iowa's Ferrari called both bothers after the match to tell them "my God guys, I experienced man strength tonight. You two need to get on and stay on the straight and narrow. In jail those dudes with the man strength are gonna f you up. Seriously, you both need to stop doing stupid shyt!!!"

I think Greg's 5 pins and 6 tech falls might suggest that he is turning people!
Of course it helped close the gap. Without Buchanan the final would have been 35 - 5. 3 million bucks spent to make a 35 - 5 beatdown a more respectable 30 - 8.
Bartlett always seems to wrestle down to his lesser opponents.

Nolf looked for the big move from any position. He was more of a Risk taker. Nolf looked to end the match early. Mitch first breaks a guy soul and then looks for the turn.
This^. That RT point changed the strategy and approach for both wrestlers in the third period.
What matters to PSU is not necessarily what Bob and Tom want. Last year was a no trophy year, that is an exception. A no championship year is pretty much the Iowa standard now.
Actually, Cael discusses and then plans based upon those discussions. Rarely does he interject himself into what weight guys are going to wrestle. Obviously there are a couple notable exceptions but what weight kids are going to wrestle are pretty much determined by the kids.
Not sure how Jax and Bo don’t see this domination and don’t just commit now
I honestly believe what you’re saying, and that Ferrari was part of this let’s see if we could catch him here with the sneaky trick. That looked like incredibly lame.
I don’t think they’re the brightest bunch over there.
Did he actually ask that? I genuinely didn't see it. I did see where he took passive-aggressive shots at multiple people for discussing it but I didn't see him ask anything.
If Gabe would just keep his mouth and keyboard shut… But when he repeatedly calls out Starocci while:
And, BTW, I don’t want him to keep his mouth shut. The trash talk is fun. But I also don’t want to be told not to discuss it when he does.
- Unable to beat Carter’s back-up
- Can’t make the lineup card vs PSU two years in a row
- The Iowa starter at his weight can’t beat Carter
And, BTW, I don’t want him to keep his mouth shut. The trash talk is fun. But I also don’t want to be told not to discuss it when he does.

Props to Teemer for the respect and acknowledgment he gave Kasak after their bout ended.
The match I watched had Barr up 1-0 going into the 3rd, where he gave up the LONE TD on a shot he made due to the fact that he was essentially down 2-1 at that point due to riding time. If not for the riding time, I think that match ends up in OT. So I do not agree with your assessment.
Josh was looking gassed in the third, even late in the second. It was just the opposite of how he looked at Rutgers.
I think the boos were more directed at Brands' decision much more than either Ferrari or Arnold. And I think we can all agree that this was clearly on Brands, not his wrestlers.
Props to PK for wrestling all seven mins and getting the late escape that kept Levi to a regular decision. Not giving up a riding point too which is no small task vs Levi.
Thanks! The only obstacle to overcome was typing with the laptop on my lap. It's so much easier sitting at a desk. The big takeaway was to make sure other TVs nearby are preset to the proper channel before the match starts. Then, if there's an incident, I can simply turn on the alternative TV without having to search for the proper channel.
Like I said before, it's your teams board so have at it. Just not my style. As a guest here, I will let it go.
That's fair, however Buchanan was in on a decent shot in the first that Barr fought off. I don't remember Barr ever coming close to scoring. Even if the match goes into OT, Barr is still going to have to get a TD or go to ride outs. He had a significant disadvantage going to ride outs so he most likely is going to attempt to score in SV and most likely we have the same outcome.
They made a gif out of Angelo wrestling Carter in neutral.
They’ll get around that stiff arm to the forehead. Once that’s cleared, Buchanan will have to work harder. Once he has to work harder, he won’t have as much to stay on top as long. Lather, rinse, repeat.
No...go ahead and pencil Buchanon in...and feel good about it!
Psstt....psst...don't tell Madden but I love seeing Hawk fans hearts and hopes totally broken in March.
