Math for Iowa quickly disappearing. I'm surprised at some of the results.
Shit for brains being wrong is a fact of life.
Unfortunately Kennedy reminds me of another Maranelli except not quite as good. He will have great regular seasons and then underperform at nationals. That brute style don’t work at nationals
I am telling you Levi is the kid from DUNE!! The Sleeper has awoken!!! He is the Kwisatz Haderach!!!!!
I see nothing unfortunate about that.
I don't believe Kennedy is on Marinelli's level. Yes, Bull had his March issues but do you think Kennedy could beat Cenzo 3 times?
Let’s go Feldkamp. Can’t have a guy named “Hawks” advance any further, even if wrestles for Mizzou.
Best teaberry ice cream is at Eder's Ice cream outside of Montoursville. Since 1927.
Hey, it is pretty well know by now. If you want to be a champion find a way into the PSU room. If you want to go someplace that has a helluva wrestling history Iowa is the place for you.
Correct, any part of either body being inside circle counts - it isn't just the feet.
ohhhh the freshman... holy cow, what a show!
RBY - under control. No issues with taking bottom. Seasoned vet. So glad to have been able to watch him since his first defensive flip against Lehigh!
Beau - yea boring and lucky but you make your own luck. He was the better wrestler based on action. Great job
SVN - thought he would be more prepared based on Md match yesterday. Makes me think his Knee(s) are sore since he can't scramble. Great come back. Indy coaches thought he was OB when he dove for the takedown. backpoints were true. But a pretty manly ride after that!
Levi - can't call it a pin when the ref is right there. But Adonian died, that is for sure - Levi looked pretty fresh.
Star - seemed to take it easy after the 1st... again - has to wrestle on the line
AB - allowed to be pushed to the edge and then hang there..... awful
Kerk -
Dean - I think he can bear Nico (pitt)... just bad match up with the Nebbie kid.
AF - everyone knows 165 is killer. What are the odds all PSU kids wrestle up to and over par? He just has to much action on the edges. Alex is fine.
Other thoughts
Lee - if you're strong enough to break his grip and he can't tilt you - you'll be in the match in the 3rd.
Murin - always a scrapper (can't take the Pa out of him)

I would think Okie State if you're looking for history... - they have way more titles than Iowa.
Edmond with a 3rd period TD takes the lead on Washington. Riding is locked so it’s 6-5 Edmond. 30 secs to go. He wins! Edmond to R12.
The problem is, I'm in the middle of dressage, eventing, jumping, and reenactment season with horses. That doesn't count vet work I do. I also have Rolex and Devon coming up, as well as European shows. Spring is a bitch. Why I rarely get home to fly fish.
Edmund Ruth comes back against Donnell Washington, who gassed hard.
What's really the difference between Oklahoma State's and Iowa's though? The elite recruits who are deciding these days weren't are too long to probably even remember the 2008-2010 run.
I’m guessing this might put me in the minority here, but I’ll say it after reading earlier comments about him. I’ll be rooting for Murin to AA. He seems like a good kid and I hate the idea of someone putting in as much as he has and always getting to the blood round and never finding a W…good luck to him, I hope he breaks through!
9 Dean vs 18 Harvey
R16
Harvey in on a single. Gets the finish. Quick escape. 2-1 Harvey. Dean with a shot. Harvey reshoots. In deep. Dean gains upper hand. Dean finishes! 3-2 Dean. Stopped for PD. Restart. Harvey to his feet. Dean working hard to ride. Another PD stoppage. Dean gets out of position trying to hold on to not give up escape from his butt and gives up reversal. 4-3 Harvey. Escape makes it 4-4. Period ends.
Dean takes bottom. Quick escape. 5-4 Dean. Dean low shot. Finishes. 7-4 Dean. Stalling for holding on to leg. Almost got in trouble on his back. Dean uses every trick in the book to finish period on top. 7-4 after two, 46 secs RT.
Harvey chooses bottom. Really struggling to stay with him, OOB, 1:34 to go. RT over a minute. Finally flattens him. Finally able to get heavy on top. RT over 2 mins. Locked. Has to give escape with 30 secs to go. 7-5 but riding is locked. Late desperation TD countered by Dean. Dean wins 10-5. On to the blood round!

Phillippi too, just made his 4th blood round. Can't imagine 4x finishing R12.
Difference is talking shyt on Okie State is no where nearly as satisfying as talking shyt on the Hawks.
