Is what it is, but that sh&t is killing folkstyle wrestling. If you're in top, you need to advanced the match or else. 2 minutes of that nonsense.
Wrestling LIVE THREAD: Penn State vs. Iowa
- Thread starter CSauertiegPSU
- Start date
Iowa fans, what’s your favorite Kaleb Young takedown? Genuinely curious.
50 pathetic shots - would dive in, put his head on the mat and literally do nothing but lay there with head on mat between RBY's ankles. Calling those real shots (i.e., any hope of doing anything after diving in) is pretty suspect.
I don't mean this to sound as harsh as it will, because Desanto is very good. But it was almost like RBY was a big cat playing with his food. He knew he was in control and was just having fun. Maybe I'm off, but I think that jives with what you're saying. He has the ultimate confidence.
Riding is scoring in folk style. It’s on Barraclough to get hip separation and escape. He didn’t do it. Learn to get out or suffer the consequence.
that said, he’s so close to being where he needs to be.
Heres a poll. Who is more horrible to watch from Punxsutawney? Young or the groundhog?
We're not complaining about that match though madden. Beau didn't do enough.
Easily Young. The Groundhog should have gotten an Oscar for best supporting actor in that movie with Bill Murray. Can't remember the name though...
Yeah, but he probably could have hit RBY with another stall.
It's pretty obvious RBY was just screwing around. Playing with his food but without scoring in the process. Maybe he is dinged up a bit. If not I don't have an explanation, but that was cutting it awful close. A loss there could have really put us behind the 8 ball way too early.
I can’t wait for the documentary on the Brands Brothers- that way they will stop hyping it and I can turn them off.
Stuck at work with the dual in one part of the screen, initial takeaways:
125: Clutch late 4NF, love that he never stopped looking to score.
133: DeSanto never planned on finishing those head inside shots and I'm glad Angel eventually stopped rewarding it, but RBY needs to be better. He has the offense to make sure that's not that close.
141: Silly, silly mistakes from both. Luckily Eierman made 2 and Nick only made 1.
149: Thought this was Beau's worst match of the year and by a good bit. Low scoring is one thing as he works through the process, but tonight he didn't give himself a chance to win. That can't happen.
157: Solid showing, but gotta get out. How Young was never hit for stalling I'll never know. Apparently you don't have to work to return?

Interesting. Seemed to me Roman was sizing up Iowa's adjustments to be ready for tournaments. Roman took exactly two shots. Scores a TD on one and the second would have a TD if not for 15 seconds and deciding to hide under to preserve the win
he will open up when hardware is on the line.
Disappointed in the fans behind cocaine Shane on camera. Need more energy. More shoes. Signs. Something.
I agree with your entire post, except how close he is. That last inch requires a massive improvement.
In a perfect world I’d never see Murin, Young or Warner wrestle again.
From all the way back in 2019, but I’ll tip my hat to that. Haha.
Lol. I was typing it before the whistle to start the 3rd period. Lol. I think we all saw it coming but was hoping it wouldn’t.
Both wrestlers knew at that point. Think JE knew he needed to score quickly which created that shot. Which wasn't a terrible shot, but Nick fended him off and got the win. JE knew he couldn't go much deeper and you could see Nick knew it too and was ready. I call it a thing of beauty!
