Too funny. He said he accidentally washed his hair with ammonia bleach instead of shampoo 3 days before the fight and all his hair fell out. Not sure how you make that mistake but that’s what he said in an interview afterwards
Maybe he said something nice about Ohio State.

I know I want to shower in bleach anytime that happens.

Willie said he thinks Levi was trying to push Minto off the stage and Basch says no way. What do you guys think?

No idea, the only one who knows for sure is Levi.
a few things could come in play, lighting on stage and didn’t realize he was that far off.
in the heat of the moment he didn’t think of it as being raised.
basch and Willie were sort of arguing separate points at the end of it.
‘Willie saying he meant to push him off, and bash saying Levi didn’t want to hurt him.

I think Minto clamped down on Levi's left arm with his right arm, a la what NBA players calls a clamping loose ball foul. He initiated the clamp out of bounds. Levi was having none of it, so he created separation with a shove. That shove was unfortunately near the edge of the raised platform and resulted in a penalty point.

Effectively, Levi was trying to push Minto off himself. The stage was just coincidental. Sure, it was bad judgment.

“Mr Barkley, do you regret throwing that man through a plate glass window?”…

”I regret we were on the first floor!”

I like Shane, but how can he rank a 2 loss Taylor over undefeated Barr or SVN?
Agreed, but here's why he did it: his top 5 are the 5 defending national champs. Taylor is the last of them.

And it's definitely defending, not returning, with Ford Focus at 20.

Smith and Endene are far more questionable with both out for the year and one in the portal.

As much as I’d like it to be, Levi is a returning National champ, and not a defending champ.

Yeah, it seems strange to have a guy who was kicked off his team and is now in the portal on the list, although I guess he's just setting a precedent for keeping AJ on the list even after the inevitable meltdown comes. LOL.

I gotta think Arnold can beat Sampson on the mat. Arnold will be riding the pine otherwise, so why not let him try 197?
This has to be the plan, although they need to get Angelo back first. He's apparently been seen on Iowa's campus in a walking boot. Arnold is obviously too short and small and therefore less than ideal for 197, but he can't redshirt and should at least qualify for nationals at 197 (which Sampson won't), so, yeah, why not? It's just another mark of the sad state of affairs at Iowa when a backup 174 is the best option at 197. Stuff like that happens sometimes, but it shouldn't at an elite program.

Arnold doesn't have much choice, either roll the dice being undersized or you don't wrestle(as long as no one else gets hurt).

I was wondering why they don't run Arnold at 197 now and somebody else at 184 ... then looked at their roster. Woof.

There is nobody else at 174/184, except 2 shirting FR with a combined record of 4-3.

And the 3 backup 165s are all winless.

That's Northwestern-level depth.

Yeah, given a choice, I'm sure Gabe himself would rather go at 184 than 197, but when (if) Angelo gets back, the 197 is preferable to just watching.

Between actually making a smart decision to not burn Ludington's shirt and Tom's temper tantrum kicking Endene off the team, Gabe is basically their only backup at three weights. One of the 165s is PK's little brother. Maybe give him a match somewhere.

Burroughs says go 184, attack the effected foot with violence.

From the Internet board, it’s looks like 2 of DT’s buckaroos have vamoosed:


“Rumors is Robb and Thompson both were seeking a medical of sorts but asked to wrestle against Iowa State. After turning down the match, they were promptly removed from the roster the following Monday.

Just a rumor.”

Thompson’s mom is a firecracker so she might go off on Facebook

Yep I posted about it on 34..Robb was honest with the staff and said I'm gonna hit the portal. Thompson is looking for a medical as well his weight wasn't anywhere near 184 so he wasn't making it. Robb is coming off of a broken foot
