Lol, the extreme irony of Terry escorting anyone out for shit talking.

Thank you! I even searched for Stoll, but still couldn't find it, thought I was losing it. I'll add the link. The Clark Dwarf Toss is already referenced.
Terry to Arnold walking down the tunnel: You don't like tough benching!
@jtothemfp and my extensive dual recap and takery, along with more of @tikk10 's incredibly photos are up now:
Wrestling Postview: Penn State 30, Iowa 8
History their only rival, the Nittany Lions stacked 3 dimes on their heated historic foe.www.blackshoediaries.com
Can anyone help me remember that dog and pony show Brands had a few years back where a rumored injured hawk intervened at match time to be allowed to wrestle? Would love to add a link to that clip if anyone can find it.
Nice job nerf.
Not sure if you want this kind of feedback, but I saw a couple apparent typos: (1) you give the attendance as 14,998 but I've seen it elsewhere as 15,998; (2) you note that Iowa had 1 more takedown vs PSU than Nebraska had with 8 but your table show Nebraska with 4 total.
Nice catches! Thanks. We strive for perfection. Motivation aplenty, lol.
Good summary - agree with your observations up-&-down the lineup.
Agree regarding Josh's best path to victory - if he's going to beat Buchanan, he's likely going to have to do it in Neutral, so he (and the staff) have some work to do in terms of figuring out some strategies and tactics that are going to give Josh the angles he needs to get his offense off (part of the problem was that Josh was always way too square to Buchanan.... and always looking tentative and leery of an attack from Buchanan as you said.). I think some of it may have been caused by Buchanan's attack at the very start of the match - Buchanan was extremely deep and very nearly finished clean - a herculean defensive effort by Josh turned it into a very long scramble where Josh was in the inferior position for most of the time. I think that series not only shook Josh as to getting to offensive against Buchanan, butJosh also used a ton of energy fighting off that attack (and he was fortunate to eventually get the stalemate).
Anyway, Josh looks like he is going to lose a point, or possibly even 2, on the mat, so his only real path to victory is beating Buchanan in Neutral most likely - but as you say, there's a lot of work to do there as Josh never appeared to be all that confident, or comfortable, in Neutral or ever very close to even threatening Buchanan offensively.
Red shirt freshman vs 5 yr senior that happens, let's see how they wrestle in a tournament with some fatigue and 3 day weigh ins.
I’m soooooo happy when I’m this wrong.
In fact, the Tyler/Teemer bout is the one I’ve re-racked most to watch. Not only was granting Jacori a power advantage foolish, but damn if Tyler didn’t look faster, too, especially the few times the cobra chose to strike. That edge exchange where just a few more inches of mat circle gets Tyler a second TD was sweet. No reason he doesn't leap Shapiro as the new #1.
The results are good, but when the highest ranked guy you've is #19 and you won that by a DQ...
Quality of competition counts.

Kasak became a PSU legend with one lift!
That was a 157 pound live lift, baby!
Plenty of room for new faces once half the lineup transfers to Rutgers.
Great write up! Such a pleasure to finally meet. Roar and misses Roar are some great people folks! Can't remember the last time I enjoyed an evening like that. Can't wait to see you again.
Luke Lilledahl vs Joey Cruz(Iowa) - with the Jeff Byers Call, 2024 125 LBS Dual Meet - Full Match
A bunch of my favorite humans were all together in one place! Awesome!
They are looking at it all wrong. Iowa didn't spend a million to lose by 22. They spent a million to lose by 1 less than last year.
Another 23 million this off season and we will see some real changes.
The Rutgers Mt. Rushmore could be mostly filled with PSU transfers, they have a start already.
This is what I saw in barrs match. He looked gassed/out of it in the second period and continued till the end almost like he just over amped himself. I believe next mat h against Buchanan will be different, I'm not convinced a blow out but a win yes.
In Mesenbrink's first match last season at the Black Knight Invitational, he definitely got overamped and had a much closer match than expected as a result. Could have happened to Barr. We'll see.
In availability today, Cael acknowledged Barr got tired early, and they’re adjusting his training regimen accordingly.
No doubt there will be several adjustments. Barr was the more gassed this last match, so at least the question of Buch's has thank was answered. Barr couldn't get to his ties, and with Buch keeping him at space, a TD was unlikely. Buch's mat wrestling is still better as well.
This has all the earmarkings IMO of another close bout, with a loss at Big10s, then Barr takes him to the brink at Nationals. We have seen this story play out several times with our freshmen, with many positive results.

Brings to mind Mark Hall’s surprising and bitterly disappointing (for me) loss to Kemerer in the 2020 Iowa dual at Carver.
Mark said later that he got caught up in the excitement of the big dual and matches before his, didn’t manage his energy level well, and ran out of gas.
He reversed the result at B10s 5 weeks later and restored some balance to the universe.

Ok I just thought of something really, really obnoxious. Who wants to pull the trigger?
Someone needs to go to GIA/HR or whatever and start a new thread titled “Here’s What $1 Million in NIL Money Buys You “. Then the only thing to post is the picture of Kasak fist pumping and holding up Teemer. I doubt it will stay up very long but if Slumlord Bob sees it, he’ll be steamed like there’s no tomorrow. 😈
Posters that said they were sitting in the area, said there was no crowd heckling or arguing? People are speculating rampantly that there was… One of the posters that said they were sitting in that area said they saw him arguing with Ferrari and the coaches. Maybe he was just upset he wasn’t wrestling?
