My gawd is this Iowa-Mich match a snoozer

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.

I didn't think Kemerer would beat Hall. Of course I would favor Steveson but Cassioppi's body of work so far shows that he has a chance.
 
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.

Agree. At least the heavies redeemed it somewhat. That was exciting to watch...sadly I missed the first part of it trying to wipe the sleepies from my eyes.

165 and 174 were ok too but I thought Marinelli was on his way to an easy tech but kind of put it on cruise control for the second half of his match.

I love that you refer to the Minnesota wrestler as Steveson, and reserve Gable usage for the OG goat.

Is Assad injured, or or they still trying to figure out which of the 3 184 lbers is their guy?

I listened to Ironside’s radio broadcast yesterday and he said Assad has a very minor ding. He’s fine. Ironside also mentioned that DeSanto has been working out with the team “in gym shoes” and they’re simply being careful with him.

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.
I agree that Steveson and Parris look to be the top tier of the weight class (though Steveson appeared to tire in the couple times I've seen him this season). But I don't agree that there is no chance that Cassiopi becomes an NCAA finalist. Upsets happen, injuries happen, etc. I would be surprised if he made it to the finals, but not shocked.

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.

I once saw Spencer hanging out with Ryan Anderson talking shop. It has been rumored that ever since, Spencer downs a Mountain Dew 2 minutes before each match. Scientific studies have shown the Dew has a half life of 3 minutes in the blood stream. Someone needs to tell Brandon, Verk & Bo before Big 10s.

Shows the benefit of Parris scrapping last year rather than trying to scrape out an extra win here or there. They knew the extra HP would come.

Everyone has a chance. It's sports. My comment was perhaps a touch hyperbolic but the point remains. That is that there is separation with Steveson and Parris and the field. Cassioppi has a "chance" but it's very small.
 
Parris has a very good chance to beat GS. He is strong,fast, and he just might wear GS down.
GS does not look like he is in the best of shape as his lay long lay off don't believe he really trained the best.

I think TnT thought Embree was another tough match for Abe so they avoided it

But now only two duals begore Big10's
Time is running out.

And also tell them to not believe those bull$(*/ commercials either . Mountain Dew Zero DOES NOT taste like the real stuff...
 
What is this if may ask?
@minnhawkeye

It means:

1) Someone read your profile where it shows how many messages you posted on BWI and that was your number;

and,

2) Someone is intolerant of an 81 year old male wrestling fan's simple pleasure of having more amicable wrestling board chat, based on a message on Hawkeye Report that PSU fans should not post there.

Thanks, I'm sorry and really thought I got along with most of you fellows over here guess I was wrong..Where he posted the numbers was I was only talking about who you Penn State fans thought would win between GS. and Parris..Again I'm sorry if I offended anyone.
 
You told a non psu fan on tHR that psu fans should give it a break on tHR...the rebuttal was that you have 3000+ posts on bwi....

Draw your own conclusions
Ok, dunkej01 so I thought that person was psu fan and I was wrong for that..I'm sorry about that and I apologize for making the mistake..Have a good evening and peace.
