Iowa dual thread - Jan 31

“If we have Teemer I see us winning 3 matches with a punchers at 2 more. If it was at Carver I would feel better about a Possible 5 to 5 but it’s over there and I am hoping we get 3 wins. As crazy as it sounds they could put up a goose egg on us I think it would have to be a perfect night for them but it is possible.”

Judge for yourself
I mean, he is right. If PSU puts a goose egg on them, it would be the perfect night. LOL.
 
Van Ness has beaten Parco the only two times they have wrestled in complete; 7-2 and 5-1.
That makes SVN a favorite going in, but Parco is good enough that it's not inconceivable that he could win. It's not likely, either, though.

This is so true, great post! So grateful how our wrestlers handle themselves on and off the mat. Great parenting and coaching! Raised them right and coached and mentored them so well. Not sure us fans always rise to that standard, but it's been a fun run, enjoy :)
We are so much more humble than anyone else, let me explain in great detail how.😎

In my book January 31st is the day that could rock the wrestling world.

Unlikely IMO, but certainly possible.

What if the #1 team in the country sweeps #2, 10-0?

If it were to happen I guarantee a chorus of social media discord insisting something needs to be done to protect the integrity of the sport, level the playing field, address the unfairness, what have you....

A CERTAIN individual in particular MIGHT just go BALLISTIC, and literally have his HEAD EXPLODE!!!

That week would be glorious!

Soooo…who else is excited for Barr vs Buchanan?
Buchanan is really good. Barr hasn’t felt anyone that good yet. Well, other than Carter. Oh, and probably Max Dean. . . and I’m sure Nickal has gone with him. And that Cael guy too—I guess he’s alright. Oh, and who was that fellah on the podium in Paris? But other than that, Josh is in for a big step up in competition.

Or, in short, not only does Josh have to wrestle Buchanan, Buchanan has to wrestle Josh too.
 
Yes JM, thank you.

With that said let me be the first to say, PSU is tossing a shutout next Friday night. However, I am looking forward to watching PSU outscore the Hawks by 80 points and then reading on HR how the Penn State wrestlers stall allllll the time.
Real, not real thought. If we were shutting them out going into 285, give Lucas a shot to finish the feat.

Realistically, there could be 8-9 decisions in the dual, and 7 of them could be 4 points or less. (Boo, Mike ….)

agree. Iowa will come to wrestle and there is always a chance of upsets in this match. Everyone knows the risks when letting it come down to the end with a TD to decide the match. Some really good match ups scheduled!

Barr v Buchanan is worth the price of admission alone. Clearly Barr hasn't felt anyone nearly as strong and athletic as Buchanan, excepting of course every other workout partner in the room!!!! :). I kid? Not.

Toss in another Messenbrink beat down, and I am going to have to add another stick of butter to my popcorn.

My money is on 8-2, maybe 7-3. They are #2 so we can't be too dang greedy, can we?

I am going with 9-1.

Outscore them by 30, 40 or 80 HR will be full of more posts than Iowa points ascribing to the PSU stalling theory.

Luke wins by more than 4
Beau wins by more than 4
Shayne wins by more than 4
Tyler wins by 4
Mitchell wins by 12 to 15
Levi wins by more than 4
Carter wins by more than 4
Josh wins by more than 4
Greg wins by 10 or more.

Bonus point wins might be only 2 or 4, but PSU will outscore the Hawks by more than 60. If Penn State wasn't allowed to stall they would easily outscore the Hawks by 90 or more.

I will bet any amount against all of these happening.
