With PSU idle, I figured I'd get this thing started early.

Iowa vs. Rutgers "Discussion" Thread
- Thread starter slushhead
- Start date
Goodale saying that he is insulted by comments from Iowa.
Seriously, or just trying to motivate the team?

I still think Iowa wins this.
Both. A fair number of condescending things said by high and mighty Iowa that could insult and motivate Rutgers.
Rutgers has at least a chance although losing to Lock Haven doesn't give me much confidence in picking them. They need 5 wins and to get some bonus along the way from at least two wrestlers with at least one of them getting 5 or 6 (talking to you Suriano). Even then they may not win but that would certainly give them a real shot.

I think the one that grated Goodale the most was the characterization of Rutgers as a "nice" program, which I think you have to read as "nice little" program. Then there was the statement that Blair Academy's gym is equivalent to the RAC. Check out the promo for the dual.
I will be there and plan to root for both teams to lose.
Thanks matter, first I saw that video...everything up till now was what others were telling me. Not much here.
Coach Goodale seemed pretty "amped" to me, re. Brands' comments. Imo, if that's how he's talking to his wrestlers, it may have the opposite effect than he wants, and they'll be equally "amped"...in his own words, that's not a good thing.
This to me is among the hardest elements of coaching (and forum posting)...to keep the wrestlers completely engaged (Coach Goodale said "laser focused"), yet not overly fired up, psyched up, pumped up, whatever one wants to call it. Energy drain results, and that emotional high can't be sustained. It's a human psychy thing, and one intangible where our coaches excel.

A tiebreaker going to the final criteria for either team would be a great result, except that would likely mean Rutgers wins it. But, the opposite result would be Iowa winning it.
What happens if it goes to seventh criteria and there are NO takedowns. That's the result I want.
Goodale seems like he'd be a good HS coach. But please spare me the drama and bravado in trying to lead a B1G program.
Lost count of the times he contradicted himself in addressing the Iowa comments and then saying "it's just another match." He's clearly hot-and-bothered, which will not help his wrestlers.
I hope Marinelli silences that crowd.

My belief is that Donnie Pritzlaff is the guy that should be heading up that program. Too many years of hearing that Rutgers feels like it's a top ten program and that their room has multiple national champs in it for me to take Goodale seriously.
Goodale was a great HS coach at Jackson Regional in NJ and he did a great job in advancing Rutgers program to a point. But their recent relative success seems more attributable to Pritzlaff and it may be time for Goodale to step aside. Let's see how they do tonight. I am open to having my opinion changed and a win over Iowa would help in that regard.
Recruiting the Lorenzo Wrestling Complex is going to pay huge dividends for Goodale and Rutgers.
I watched both Brands and Marinelli and Goodale is making a stink out of nothing. He's probably trying to add a little extra motivation here (not that his wrestlers should need it).
whats his name is going to roll w TDs before sticking stickley.
No Ash = No chance. Iowa wins by double digits. Calms the HR down and they go into midlands talking not stop about the red shirts and a return to the "podium".
Not so wild prediction: SLee has more TDs in his first match at UNI open than Iowa has in this whole dual tonight.
Seems like a common theme in Old Jersey. Make something out of nothing and bitch about it all day.
Just want to let you know if you ever get ran off by the HR, you have a home here. We certainly wont be critical of you being critical about your program.
I think it would probably be Morningstar trying to keep Marinelli out of trouble after the match. Although I think there is a PD3 joke teed up and waiting for somebody to crush but I’m not taking the bait.
Will Terry be wearing his green sweater? Or will he go with something more Jersey like a velour track suit?
John, shouldn't you be getting with Vodka and the rest of barber shoppers to practice your unique rendition of Robert and Barbara's film soundtrack?
Dang, Kem is a PA guy I always and will continue to love!!!! Iowa is getting alot of great pa guys I love.....Kem, Young and of no brainer LEE.....I can't route against them unless it actually affects PSU outcome in a major way!!!! Iowa is PA West Coast for the night!!! A big part of of me wishes lee would have wrestled and kicked suriano's ass.....yes I feel a little guilty!!!!
