Prime time - Saturday night....This won’t attract many new fans.
Yikes!
Yikes!
My gawd is this Iowa-Mich match a snoozer
- Thread starter Petch
- Start date
Well, the feature bout (285) is next up. We'll see how that goes. So far, some real good action.
Most notable event so far is Spencer Lee getting only 2 near-points and "only" a regular decision. The 141 lb match was entertaining and Iowa dominated at 165 and 174 as expected. Other than that, most every match has been a snoozer, especially 149, 184, and 197.
Edit - 285 match had more action than most of the other matches combined. Parris by fall in the 2nd period.

Parris decking Cassiopi was interesting. That was impressive.
Parris sticks Big Cass after dominating him on their feet. Way too athletic for Big Cass.
Parris is looking like he could be a handful for Steveson.
Now that was impressive. No wonder he was getting some looks to play football in college.
Friday Night: Avoid the Lights...……..happens or.....doesn't happen on a Saturday
Parris concentrating only on wrestling...…...impressive and a bit scary. He is much better than last year.
Seriously. I'm looking forward to that one.
Maybe this is why Gable avoided Parris in their dual.
HR report, saying cass hurt knee or has the corona virus or both. Leg may need amputated but will be ready for bigs.
Dang good reversal by Cass in the 1st. Parris was just relentless.
Parris was a 3x wrestling State Champion. Multiple year 1st team All-State football player and a State finalist in the 110 meter high hurdles in track. “Really athletic” is an understatement!!
wilke refused to return to the mat. just stood oob no stall call. couldn't believe it.
Cass has to watch some DeSanto film and learn how to scream when he’s taken to his back.
I rewound my DVR and it definitely did look like Cass hurt his wrapped knee early on in the sequence where he was pinned. You could see there was a lot of pressure being placed on the knee as he tried defending the takedown. Then he suddenly bellied out and you could see him wincing. You could also see him limping off the mat after the fall. Hopefully he didn't suffer a significant injury.
It doesnt matter much because there doesn't seem to be a 125 up to the task of keeping things close but I think Spencer still gasses in the 3rd.

184 is such a crazy weight class this year.
Guy beat you but you beat the guy that beat him. Over and over.

Man, the HWT class is just a different animal these days! I know Iowa is supposed to be the “enemy” but I’ve really enjoyed watching Cass this season - he’s a stud! To see him pinned by someone other than Cassar or Gable is pretty crazy to me!
Snacks has had some nice scrambles this year too that I haven’t seen with bigger HWTs in the past...
The whole weight class just seems more exciting altogether than years past! Pretty cool to see the big boys wrestle an exciting style on a more consistent basis. Love it!!!

I told my sons beforehand that they would see heavyweights wrestling like 125 lbers. They were not disappointed.
For as triggered as the Iowa fans get at Flo for the whole “Spencer doesn’t score as much after the first” thing, whenever it (rarely) does go all 7 it rings true. Up 7 at the end of two and doesn’t get the major against Jack Medley. But you are right, can’t see it mattering this year, at least in college.
This morning I'm reading....
- spencer lost the hodge
- ADs can jump and shout but not wrestle
- Lugo is up for a strongman award for riding parallel for 2 minutes straight
- Big Cass got Big Manned
Seems the team race is going to plan

Because I believe both Steveson and Parris are on another level. You disagree?
Sadly, I think the chances are slim that Brands sends Cassioppi out to face Steveson in their dual.
Interesting that you are suppose to explain your opinion when Steveson TF Cass in freestyle. Seems to me the people thinking he could beat Steveson would be the ones that would have to explain themselves.
Now Mason Parris, he is going to be a problem for Steveson. He looked incredible last night. Big, strong and athletic, he may be on his way to a heck of a career.

Is Assad injured, or or they still trying to figure out which of the 3 184 lbers is their guy?
That ref appeared to not be able to slap the mat for like 10 seconds. He surely did not want Cassiopi pinned.
HWT highlights mixed in with the interview.
