I'm calling the first upset at 125. Cruz is showing a lot of improvement. Cruz beats Sprately and it's downhill after that unless OSU can pull an upset or two

hmmmmmmmmm....

 

[PSUwrestling]

Love watching Iowa loose

 

[AgSurfer]

Mistake by Sprateley. If he had just ridden out Cruz it would have been 17-2 with riding time.

The regression of wrestlers being coached by DT Spratley TECH over Cruz in last meeting. 😉

He did ride him out. Escape was never granted

Huh?

 

[5q]

I hope Ono sees Rin out there and says to himself , I can do this for Psu too

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Cruz got worked. Not a great start for Iowa.

I missed something there. Need to rewatch that one later.

 

[wrestlingfan22]

Looks like this will be 4-4 going into 141

 

[mcpat]

Watch out for bottom stalling on Rin

 

[PD4thespawn]

I hope Ono sees Rin out there and says to himself , I can do this for Psu too

This rin kid was raised free correct. Folk?

 

[mcpat]

Rin just returned to center at light speed compared to JB and CHA booed it

 

[AgSurfer]

Ayala is deceptively tricky with that slide by. I think it would be smart to wrestle him from a distance in neutral.

 

[District four]

Iowa fans are soooooooo annoying except when they are crying in March

 

[SUPERTODD]

He was holding position at the center of the mat and those morons were calling for stalling.

 

[amattaro]

Does Ayala look like Ant the Champ’s mini-me, or is it just me?

 

[District four]

No he doesn't

 

[fortheglory94]

I genuinely think they enjoy getting a stall in their favor more than a takedown.

 

[Cstroke]

I’d be so embarrassed if I’m Gabe Arnold

Gabe probably has the Flu..

 

[Curly71]

His anorexic mini me

Exactly what my wife said

[mcpat]

If it was stalling to lie on your belly at 133, then why isn’t it at 141?

 

[Franklinstheman]

Gabe probably has the Flu. Lol. This trend tells me that if Gabe wins first match at bigs, Ferrari wrestlers in the next round.

 

[PAgeologist]

If it was stalling to lie on your belly at 133, then why isn’t it at 141?

They actually called Jamison. Unreal.

 

[PSU Mike]

Plus 12 in match points for team DT.

 

[Cstroke]

Not that Jamison couldn’t have been called but maybe a few calls on Iowa would have been warranted

I move more in my sleep than the Iowa guy did

 

[Chickenman Testa]

It is crazy isn't it? 15 years later no less, and in their recruiting thread. I'm sure THAT's going to go over well with parents? But the mods won't stop it. In fact, Chief disappointed me by getting in on the act. I guess Iowa fans are salty that they may get a couple more second place finishes in the next five years rather than immediately drop to 3rd.

Chief was fine during the “Penn State will fall back to an also ran once Ruth and Taylor graduate” era, but lost it once Cael’s dominance solidified. He can’t handle the new reality.

 

[PD4thespawn]

I move more in my sleep than the Iowa guy did

Twss

 

[District four]

I honestly don't think Iowa kids know how to turn people they just hang on and ride for a stall call.

 

[mcpat]

Why choose bottom if that’s going to be your effort on bottom?

 

[District four]

Of course the fans go nuts because the guy stalled lmfao.

 

[Raw Daddy]

If it was stalling to lie on your belly at 133, then why isn’t it at 141?

This one blows my mind.
