It is gonna be a real sad day for me when Nolf finishes his NCAA career. He is simply amazing to watch.

The W means absolutely nothing. I've been a huge advocate for making Duals matter more but as of now, they simply don't mean a thing. The health of those guys is all that matters. If dinged up at all, sit them whether it means an L or not.
My biggest issue is that he doesn't shoot. I'd rather see him shoot and get countered, than to do nothing.
I can see nickal warming up in the tunnel. Hope that's a good sign.
Half time interview with local hotel owner. Not quite Prince at the super bowl but the guy seems pretty nice.
Duals matter, regardless of whether they "matter". Your right that finding someone that says wrestle those guys for a dual over a chance at NC are few and far between.
But you should want to win and do everything you can within reason to W every time out. that is the culture thats been built and that is the what we should want.
This isnt Iowa
Truth be told this has kind of sucked. A series of blow outs punctuated by a 2-0 disappointment. Feeling kind of lemony right now. 174/184 will deliver though
I'm guessing they pale in comparison to the problems Cortez has right about now - and tomorrow.

Notice how you never once heard Lehigh fans (the most insufferable in the country) yelling for it.

My point is that the goal is to win the National Title. There is absolutely no reason to risk that goal for the sake of any one dual. None.
He is just absolutely ruthless. Some nasty-sick stuff in that match. Brown was mentally broken before the first period ended. Amazing stuff.
Pipher hang onto a leg over 5 secs and that's stalling, but Brown hightails it out of bounds 3 times and one call in 7min? Come on.
Back to 141 for a monent: I thought top had to mat return with legs in or get dinged for stalling.
Twice Cortez stood and I counted past 5 before any attempted return.
Am I missing sonething?

One would think Bo would have a better shot against a non ranked guy at a similar weight like 49 or 57
Also is today porn stache day at the arena?
Seriously. The move to stay put is so inflexible that it reeks of Tom Brands.
165: Pipher vs. Wolf
not what we expected a week ago
Per 1
Wolf with a quick TD, 2-0. Pipher works for a rev, but Wolf holding on to the ankle. Wolf works back behind, then Pipher in better position, and he gets the rev, 2-2. Stall call on Pipher as he stayed on the lower leg for 5 sec. 1:41 left. Wolf his a quick rev off the whistle, 2-4. Pipher tries a roll-through, but doesn't have control. Stalemate at 1:00. RT at 1:04 for Wolf. Optional start, 3-4. Wolf with a shrug-bye, 3-5. Sloppy on Bo's part. Stall warning on Wolf for hanging on legs. Missed a few seconds due to a phone call -- it's 5-8. Damn, a TD at the buzzer for Wolf, 5-10.
Per 2
Pipher takes bottom. Not a lot of movement at start. Pipher nearly hits a rev off a roll, but nothing. Wolf throws in the boots. Bo up and getst the esc, 6-10. Pipher in on a leg and gets the TD, 8-10. And then Wolf with a switch to get a rev, 8-12. OOB at 36 points. Optional start, so 9-12. Sloppy shot by Pipher gets countered for the TD, 9-14. End
Per 3
RT nearly clinched. Wolf takes down. He hits a reversal right off the whistle -- geez. 10-16. Then a TD and a release by Wolf, 11-18. Then another TD by Wolf on the edge, 11-20. OOB at 1:09. Pipher has skill, but he's also too sloppy at times. Optional start, so 12-20. TD by Wolf, 22-12, with 36 sec left. Stalemate at 24 sec. Stall warning, so a point to Wolf, 23-12. End
24-12
11-19, Lehigh

Pipher at least tried to do something, scored a few offensive points, and kept it from a tech or pin. What more can you ask for from a backup that is up 2 weights.
Last time Iowa and PSU lost 25, 33 & 41 at their respective duals in the same weekend? Used to coming out hot!
Pipher with a lot of action against Wolf int he first two periods before Wolf pours it on in the third

Piper is an undersized 65 freshman wrestling a nationally ranked full 65. Holding it to a MD is all anyone could ask.
