Iowa vs Minnesota on BTN Tonight (1/22)
- Thread starter RoarLions1
- Start date
@jammenz predictions? I bet you want to talk about the heavyweights! Are duals still important to you?
This is the Hawkeyes year if it doesn't get washed out. Of course, there will be an asterisk beside their name.
Unrelated but I was watching Illinois vs. Purdue. Am I mistaken or is that Danny Braunagel (165) with his arm in a sling on the Illinois bench?
Timmy’s homerism has been pent up for a decade
They called Young for head scissors and you just hear Brands yell something about "get a warning next time" lol
Hard for Lee to stand up after those mat returns. Nice win Kaleb Young! Gophers are looking for answers
Spectacular mat return. Not sure Sparks has ever seen anything like it. Highlight of the match
That’s not a TD.... it won’t matter but he still had the whizzer and MK never locked in the leg.
Not one TD yet for Minnesota. They should be embarrassed by this effort
Which means they likely won't get one until HWT.
It would be hilarious (though highly unlikely) to see a 2-1 Tony Nelson Special and the Goofers ended up with zero takedowns.
Can’t wait to see how much Nelson likes wrestling when he gets majored by AB.
Tim Johnson desperately trying to talk Cass up. Cass wrestled like Jake Ryan there
Is there someone who can give Spencer Lee a match?
He's just dominating so far this season.
I think I’ve heard his mom can throw him around. Wonder if she has any eligibility?
How about the bizzare Brands video they played about Cass just prior to match? Good Lord Brands comes off like a weirdo when he speaks (on just about any topic). You need a translator who speaks "pyscho" to understand what he's trying to communicate. In regards to what I think he was trying to communicate.... "No Tom, not even close.".
That was as dominating as I've ever seen against a top 10 wrestler (coming off a great result against Foley). TD, turn at will, get to 15-0, then stick, all within 2 minutes. It was like a machine.
This. I was talking to my dad after the dual last night about it. I've watched every Spencer Lee match in his career so far. Last night had a different feel to me. There was an extra level of pure brutality to it. The only thing that is comparable is a few Zain matches where he really got his bow and arrow going, but even in those he had to wear a guy down first usually. Sparks put it best: "He makes a mockery of this sport."
And y'all gotta lay off poor Cass lol. He's a great young heavyweight. He's been a top 4 guy from the moment he put on the hawkeye singlet. Not his fault he's wrestling at a time with 2, maybe 3 if Kerk stays healthy and is as good as I think he is, generational talents at the weight. He would have been must-see tv during the Nelson-Rey era!
Taking nothing away from Lee, who is legitimately an all-time great:
"Top 10 wrestler" is virtually meaningless at 125. Atrocious weight, and would be even with Suriano and Glory.
McKee went 0-2 at B10s last year. Hard to imagine a guy who went 0-2 at his conference tourney being top 10 at any other weight.
