Ruthless or accurate? All I ever want is objective facts.

We hate you too ESPN

 

[maxpain]

Drake up 3-1 end of the first.

 

[dtripp26]

Nah, we don't need a TF here. Rack up 3 min of RT for no F'n reason!!!

 

[MALOS]

Dude, chill the F’ out. He wrestled great. If you can’t do better then shut it

 

[GableBeer]

Drake wins 11-1. Bailey on deck Mat 7.

 

[SEWAHawk]

I’m I the only one that hates Shane sparks’ commenting?

 

[dtripp26]

Dude, chill the F’ out. He wrestled great. If you can’t do better then shut it

He wrestled good...and bonus points are important. RT is NOT!

 

[Waukhawk]

Drake majors Marcel Lopez, the pride of New London, Iowa 11-1.

 

[SpacemanSpifff]

What the what??? Did the coaches want Drake to work on his top game for later in the tournament??? Are they trying to show how tough he is??? Are we so worried the other guy was going to take Drake down and lose the major??? Let’s go for it. Too much caution.

 

[MSU158]

[VakAttack]

Stop the effing count!

 

[sdvike]

I don't think the tf was there for Drake. Just save it for next round.

 

[BroncHawk]

Stop the effing count!

CARL ON THE HOT SEAT?!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

He wrestled good...and bonus points are important. RT is NOT!

And so the BAU disappointment in March from the Iowa wrestling team begins................

ISU putting on a stalling clinic against Larkin.

He’s just not very good, a backup. Kudos to him for qualifying.

Careful, a tough guy is gonna call you out for being mean!

You don’t think he could have gotten two takedowns in a minute? As for your second sentence…that’s not how it works.

 

[dtripp26]

Yeah but he wrestles for ISU.

 

[blcoach80]

I will say Drake has not put any emphasis on riding during the season. Shows he is capable if he wants too.

 

[dtripp26]

LFG Bailey!!! BONUS PLEASE!

 

[MSU158]

You don’t think he could have gotten two takedowns in a minute? As for your second sentence…that’s not how it works.

Just for the sake of clarity, minus some sort of technical violation, he would have needed 3 takedowns or some back points to get the TF..

10-1, escape, 10-2, takedown, 13-2. escape, 13-3, takedown, 16-3, escape, 16-4, takedown, 19-4.....

Mind you, it took him a little over 2 periods to get 3 takedowns to get to that point...

[BroncHawk]

Pretty good day to be seeded in the low 20s apparently

 

[AFHawk86]

Ironside said 80 of 330 wrestlers in this tournament are on different teams than last year.

 

[MSU158]

Bailey dominating!!!

 

[dtripp26]

Bailey active and worked for a TF. Was close on the edge. No TD.
Like the effort!

 

[GableBeer]

Nasir Bailey wins 14-3, he was working all 3 periods. Great match for him.

 

[GableBeer]

Ryder in the hole Mat 2.

 

[cphawkinthelou]

i can't get any form of audio that lasts more than 3 minutes...

 

[blcoach80]

Bailey dominating!!!

Keep your fingers clean Nasir. He has flipped the switch and gotten healthier and looks like a real threat now.
