ISU vs. Iowa (what do you think?)

[RB-Old]

That's just a sad effort by Broderson with the match on the line. He didn't even try anything.

I don't think he had any idea what to do.

 

[Mat Burn]

Maybe ISU's best team and Iowa's worst, and they still could not get it done.

Missed opportunities in several critical matches that is on the staff.

 

[PaJules]

Some pretty boring wrestling in Ames today. By both teams.

 

[NittanyChris]

Failed to challenge what looked like a takedown by Echemendia, and told Gaiten to ride out when he needed another TD. (174, not 184, sorry.)

Both true, but if Feldkamp doesn’t absolutely sh** the bed, ISU still wins.

 

[RB-Old]

Please let them keep that lineup. Carter will major Kennedy and no way truax let's Arnold push him around the mat like feldcamp did

I agree about Carter but Truax just backs up for seven minutes so it'll be tricky for him.

 

[El-Jefe]

I'm assuming Broderson just started wrestling about a month ago.

This is Broderson's 3rd year as an ISU starter, and he has yet to qualify for nationals -- and now he's up 2 weights from the rest of his career.

 

[Psubiomed]

Iowa State was beaten by themselves. Half the lineup choked

 

[mcpat]

Unpopular opinion, but I like Arnold’s attitude.

I agree. I liked the interview. I think we’d like him a lot if he was in Blue and White.

 

[johnstownsteel]

ISU should be considering a coaching change..

That was one match.

They got Carvered without being in Carver.

 

[Shifty15]

Dresser is the James Franklin of wrestling…cannot win the big one!

 

[Psubiomed]

Broderson has zero idea what to do on the mat, it's like watching watching a HS match where they just put somebody out there to not get pinned. Get to a leg? No idea. Get shot on? Give it up immediately.

But this came down to Feldkamp. He gave zero effort.

Stood there and tried to wrestle Greco. Sad

 

[NittanyChris]

Nope. No offense.

 

[Psubiomed]

Let's see if Bastida pussies out too...

 

[mcpat]

It’s Iowa so there is still a chance at 2 penalty points taken away, so a fall from Bastida can still win it

 

[johnstownsteel]

To answer the OP's question, "What do you think?".... PSU is miles ahead of both these programs. No wonder Brands is losing it.

 

[zzs006]

If God loves us, we’ll get an Arnold-Starocci match this year

How do you see it going? Can Arnold keep it close. His defense is pretty damn impressive

I hope Bastida gets the fall so we can see if he follows up and admits his corner blew this match.

Lots of big negative one-liners, gunsie

 

[Cali_Nittany]

I like JB but that was a brain fart comment about forfeiting Heavy, lol.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Did JB actually say the Brands were the best coaches in college? 🤣. I guess he’s playing to the audience

 

[Phantom of the Palestra]

Quint Kessenich's broadcast destroying banality lulled Iowa State into a malaise as the dual went on. They had those bastards on the ropes early.

Maybe Jb should be on concussion protocol.

I'm revisiting whether or not I'm still smart enough to participate on this board...

 

[mcpat]

Bastida with the Major. 17-6

18-14 final. Can point to any one of several matches.

 

[El-Jefe]

Lots of big negative one-liners, gunsie

LOL, that was one of the dumbest things posted in a while. Including Ironbird's debut.

 

[WildTurk]

Go Hawks! That was ISU's best chance to win in a long time and they crapped the bed. It's a Hawkeye State! Always will be

Side Note- Dresser made several coaching errors that Tom Brands never would've. Possibly lost them the dual. 🍊Oranges🍊

 

[Folkstylefan]

Woods should have lost and franek should have list

Defense against what?

It was fun to watch the wrestling but no one outside of Iowa cares who the best team in Iowa is.

If anyone wants to create a poll I have a suggestion on What the topic could be.

Your safe , the bar is pretty low as evidenced by some post I have seen in the last week

 

[Crusher1950]

I hate Iowa but give Brands credit he just plain out coached them

 

[zzs006]

Defense against what?

Not just this match. Kid is tough. I think Carter will maul him but for a true freshman the kid is good

 

[johnstownsteel]

This match has become their "Super Bowl".

Thank you Cael!

 

[FatWoodchuck]

I do think the refs blew the Woods match. JMO

 

[PSUwrestling]

Iowa vs Iowa state was an embarrassment. Both teams looked like Ivy league club teams from the fifties. The 174-197 matches in particular were painful to watch. Wiping the floor with Iowa when the time comes might cleanse this stain from humanity's collective honor. But I will regret the last 2.5 hours as long as live.

And we don't care what people outside Iowa think of the dual. It wasn't for you

6 pages and 240 posts on a Penn State board showed you cared just a little btw..
