PSU - Iowa 2020 Dual Thread

Everything hinges on Berge coming back. If he comes back we can drop Piper down and get points from two weights. We have proved repeatedly we can win national championships with no contribution from our 125.

What has Pipher shown to indicate he can score any points in a match let alone in a tournament at whatever weight.
 
I'm so glad that De Satan and Machiavelli (Marinelli) lost and were both humbled in big ways

Great dual. Bummer no offense was generated by either PSU guy last two matches. Will never mind someone going out on their "shield"

I didn't read this thread yet, but did anyone hypothesize Mark burned himself out going crazy for Cenzo?

I've got to get up early tomorrow for a youth match, so I'm going to bail on Byers's post-match wrap-up, and any interview he might do.

Ref missed Lee’s and Cenzo has the Bull pinned. Would of been 19-19 and I believe PSU would have won on criteria
 
I thought you guys wrestled really well against a more talented team (feels bizarre to say that after the last 10 years). Cael and co. had your boys ready to go. I thought Cenzo wrestled a great match. Marinelli was super reckless, but Cenzo was patient and waited until Marinelli tried to force a position that was less than 50/50 and just completely launched him.

I'm thinking the Cassar working to come back thing may be a misinterpretation by them. Didnt we hear he is working his way back to make an Olympic run, not an NCAA run?

As for tonight, strong team effort for the most part. I feel for Shak, it's clear he has no pop with his leg right now. Nights like this I try to channel my inner Cael and remember February doesnt count. It's all about March.

I didn’t say burn beard. Just seen enough of Rasheed. Already got have to watch verk wrestle with no offense.

not good job by nevills on that scramble, gotta finish that first td. Still think cassiopi gets the win but you have to finish that to give yourself a chance.
 
All things considered, it was an exciting match.

Perhaps too many "almosts": Lee almost getting the pin (or getting it and it not be called); Joseph almost getting the pin; Hall almost throwing Kemmerer to his back in the first; Nevills almost getting the first takedown.

Cassioppi is tough and Seth needs some time. He almost won that scramble though.

Great dual overall, if a bit weird at times. Despite the loss, I feel better about NCAAs now than I did before.

this...
 
Hall wrestled like he had or has the flu. Very weak effort.
don't know if I agree. He had the first few scrambles and should have had points... Kem surprised him with a couple of strong shots when Mark was getting a little aggressive.

I was angrier about ASU than I am for Iowa- which feels weird. But, Iowa is a likable, talented team. Gonna be a great battle in March.

Right, Olympics is the only focus, as it should be for AC
 
Warner is a bum. That's three guys they will lose Friday night

If we had anyone with a pulse at 149, 157 and 197 we would have blown their doors off. Iowa only has one killer at 125. No one else generates bonus points. Mark got caught tonight. I think he will be ready for the Tourney. I knew Joesph would crack the Bull. The Bull could do his usual and lose before he ever gets close to the finals. I pray Cassar can get back in time for the Tourney. I want to see what Cassar could do against Cassioppi???? I never thought 197 would be such hole for us this year! Need Berge back!! He would kill Young!!!!

This was a throwaway deke match by Cael & Co. Its actually better that we lost a close one.
 
Give Kem credit. He outhustled and out wrestled Hall. Give Iowa credit. They were aggressive all night. PSU obviously has some holes at a few weights but they wrestled tough and had a chance
 
And folks like you, who we never see, come here to post this bullshit. If Mark wins, we win. Jee Zus.

we aren’t not going to medal at 125, 149, 157 ( unless berge comes back) 197 is a ???? right now your asking alot of brooks and nevills at this point
 
We lost, no biggie. Mark, that was just unexplainable. Rasheed, wrestle or just give it up. Lee had a pin, Cenzo did not.

I’ve tried to avoid politics. This match was the Iowa (Democrats) vs the Pennsylvania State University ( non democrats) the official was an unbiased ( democrat) person. First ruling was RBY was too mean. Nicholas Lee’s opponent agreed. Mark Hall can’t ruin the plan so no being mean and throwing the nice person to their back. Is not rewarding +6

Perhaps this post should be impeached.
