I can’t believe I am seeing a reference from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, in the last 30 years or so since I graduated there is only one book I haven’t been able to finish and it was 100 years of solitude. I tried 3 different times only due to the acclaim that he has received and still couldn’t.I’ve read of your love for the team. I think it was in a book called, “Love in the Time of Cael Era”, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Upsets in the Cael Era

Probably not a huge upset at the time, but looking back - Morgan McIntosh over Captain America Kyle Snyder
No, but Nico's wins over Sanders in the quarters and Perelli in the semis at NCAAs as a true frosh definitely qualify.
And he lost multiple times to both of those guys as a true frosh. Perelli twice at the Scuffle.
Nine of ten live and in-person...Nolf vs IMar on BTN. Doesn't really matter, we are blessed to be able to see so many of the guy's bouts.
Anyone that sees the bouts in person/watches on tv or streaming/listens to JB on the radio have been witness to the greatest college wrestling performances since the glory days of Iowa and Oklahoma St. Good for the sport...
Quentin over #1 Honeycutt in 2011 from the 9 seed was huge!
After Q's injury at the NLO his RS Soph year pretty much ALL of his wins at BIGs and NCAAs that year were HUGE upsets. At the end of the regular season it looked like he might not even qualify for NCAAs. Instead he won BIGs and NCAAs and we won the team title at both, which we don;t do without Q. THANK YOU Q.
Now that i think of it.... Q versus Kilgore his senior year is another one. Everyone thought Kilgore was going to manhandle him. Q beat him with finesse and savy wrestling technique.
how about Q's run through the Big Ten tournament his soph. year (2011)? He was an 8 seed and beat the following on his way to the title:
1. Travis Rutt
5. Tony Dallago
2. Kevin Steinhaus
and he followed that up as a 9 seed at the NCAA tournament beating the following on his way to the title:
8. Kevin Steinhaus
1. Christopher Honeycutt
12. Grant Gambrall
2. Robert Hamlin

All the posts here have been about individual matches but what about last years win over Ohio State? With Nolf out, we were considered the underdogs but it was truly a complete team effort that led to a big win that Penn State fans will never forget..
That’s how he was able to emerge victorious over the singlet in the room recently. #vengeanceservedcold
Gulibon over Clark in the 2015 Iowa dual meet with a late four-point move. Yuge.
