  1. PSU is going to win with or without a single point at 125 or 133 next year. They have major help coming in the recruits the next couple of years in these weights. I think they will get Cannon for 133 next year. Nagao would be great, but Iowa is going to offer him so much he won't be able to refuse. He also happens to be in one of the three weight classes where Iowa really isn't a bad choice to improve your wrestling skills.
  2. 1. Are you not aware that you can simply look at the team standings on trackwrestling instead of trying to do your own math? 2. Yes- Increase interest by further limiting participation. Maybe just have PSU wrestle an intrasquad and really fill the stands. 3. The covid thing was handled poorly, but you get 4 times to wrestle in the post season. The covid crap is why it seems so different. 4. Stopping the replay crap would shorten matches. Maybe make takedowns worth 3 instead of 2 and keep up that clip by making reversals 3 as well, thus making riding for the sake of riding a bit more dangerous.
  3. I have no dog in this fight but NB bothers to tweet that he is a buckeye but fails to mention the future. He could be a hawkeye next month and his tweet was still true. I would more question how iowa thinks they are going to catch psu bringing in a mid tier criminal and a couple of round of 12 type transfers. AJ i get, but the other three names they are trying to dunk with are the very level of guys that have left them excited for 2/nd. If you are going to beat PSU go after Vito and Ramos.
  4. It was a very exciting moment! Ramos missed his chance in the dual but he decided he wasn't getting denied this time. Wrestling is a sport where you are always in danger of being humbled. For every dream crushed another comes true. Ramos is living large! I want to see his mom's reaction.
  5. He is plain and simple a dirty wrestler. Defend it if you want but Karma often catches up to guys like this. Hopefully he gets called for it sooner rather than later. He is a very good wrestler without resorting to these choke holds, but they can make a couple of point difference in tight matches. He isn't the first and won't be the last guy to try this stuff.
  6. LEVELS.. KOT is still a good deal better than Hamiti. KOT was busy facing Carr who will make anyone not named RBY appear slow while Hamiti was facing slow footed Patrick Kennedy who though a tough kid is not in David Carr's galaxy from a speed or athletic prowess standpoint. Don't get tricked by watching one guy lose to a monster while watching the other guy beat up a mouse. KOT by 5-6 points all day every day.
  7. Warner is a damn good wrestler who is fighting through injuries and probably some motivation issues. College wrestling is very hard and he has been doing it at a very high level for a long time now. I hope he finds a way to enjoy his final matches and achieves at a level his heart can accept. Hawkeye message board warriors have no idea what these guys deal with on a day to day basis. I have always admired Warner for his wrestling and the way he conducts himself after wins and losses. A true credit to his team and family.
  8. Haines has the skills needed to take a wrestler up off of the mat when finishing which negates some of the funk. I think Haines will win 8-4 or something along those lines. Siebrecht will beat bearclaw in a close match imo.
  9. The only way Lee ever gets on top would be to pick top which is likely since he would be trailing and extremely tired by the time the choice was offered. RBY is stronger (by a large amount) than these 125 lb. guys he is turning. If Lee himself thought he could win 133 this year he would be there because it would be so much better for his team. Drake would be a high AA at 125 this year and it would steal a title from PSU at 133. It would give Iowa a real chance in the team race. Add about 15 points to themselves and take a few from PSU.
  10. RBY would kick the sh_t out of Lee. Too big and too fast. He is bigger,stronger,faster, and of similar skill sets. Now if you sucked RBY down to 125 that would be a completely different thing. Lee wins a close decision.
  11. RBY by as big a margin as he feels like. He is a great athlete with far more fast twitch and a way bigger gas tank. Spencer horses 125 lb. guys but probably would end up 3-5 range at 133.
  12. I like that Max Dean is trending toward the lower AA area in my mind, but I'm worried this Van Ness at 149 seams like another PSU great in the making. He sure passes the eye test.
  13. I wish you guys wouldn't let Ban play you like cards. You are playing into his hands far too easy. Everyone knows he gets off on petty battles where he can get multiple people to attack him at once. He loves it. Treat him with kindness like you would an injured kitten.
  14. I think Carr has around a 60% chance of beating O'toole if he does not give up nearfall in the match. If O'toole can score any back points I think the advantage switches to something like 95-5 in favor of O'toole. Simply put I believe Carr has a slight advantage from neutral. I think Carr will win in either the dual or at BIG12 tournament.
