Watching Iowa v Illinois keeping my fingers crossed that I don’t regret it. So much could go wrong. My mind slowly melting from the nexus of mediocrity and that strang way Iowa wrestling makes the clock slow way way down. It’s the 10 minute 0-0 first periods that get you.

Webster takes neutral. Wow. Is Parco that good on top? Webster doesn't do much for the first minute & gets hit with a stall call. Parco isn't doing much either, but he is coming forward a little. Webster is pushing & tying up, but he's not doing much more, 30-sec left. Webster gets a little more active at the end, but not much & time runs out. Neither wrestler did much on their feet.

If it was football and I was Websters coach id have taken a timeout in the 3rd and put his ass on the bench. How do you take neutral, down 1 and then do absolutely nothing pretty much the rest of the match?

He spent the first minute of the 3rd period backing up & got hit with a stall call. If he wasn't going to shoot, then he should have tried for an escape. Webster needed a better plan.
 
As I have said for years now, the only team that goes into Carver and actually wrestles, is Penn State.

That was almost comical: #20 kid in the nation goes out there against that tomato can and freezes to death, refusing to shoot once, and loses 3-2 😂
 
"Inside Carver Hawkeye" How many times can this broadcast team say that?
 
Illinois is like Michigan J Frog: all singing and dancing until the light comes on and they see an Iowa Singlet 😂. Then it's "rivet, rivet" 😂
