I swear to god our coaches mat IQ is 0. Always has been. They cost Peterson that match. Bouzakis struggles late in matches due to the weight cut and Peterson could've gotten the TD in the 3rd.
Problem is when you are down by 2, you need a TD, but a TD with enough time for the escape then you are tied and depending on the confidence of getting 2 TD is a choice. You need to be able to get out from bottom so I don't mind the choice.

YEP!!!! Will also say, the kid Mirasola is good, but a 197 wrestling heavy. I am sure Krailure and F*** st will try and JUICE em up like they always do? but this is where as an IOWA "rep", you get in his ear!!!

"hey come wrestle 197 for us, instead of wasting yo time with those POS!!!"

AND don't give me any recruiting crap either!!!!
His twin is by far a better 197

LISTEN MattPee, IOWA just wrestled their a$$e$ off!!! We ALL understand it is NOT where we want to be, but have you been watchin this season???? Have you NOT been on the board reading threads!?!?!?

Their is a TON for IOWA and EVERY other team to figure out IF they wanna take out the POS Krailure and F*** st. FACT is, without some MAJOR happenings!!!! It aint HAPPENING!!!!

The HAWKS have to FINISH UP as STRONG as they can, and right now they are doing just that!!!
I'm happy they've wrestled well today.
I'm disgusted we have 1 finalist and will be fortunate to finish in 4th place in the conference.
Nebraska has 5 finalists. Nebraska.
Expect better!!

I just realized Voinovich got the 9th place win by forfeit. I think that helps his chances and he could get a wild card if we get a little lucky. Finishing one out of allocation is a criteria I believe

I agree, look at one of the guys neb has in the finals!!! He should be wrestling 197 for the HAWKS!!!! <<<These are things that have to get figured out??? Can't lose BASSETT and expect to make the strides needed to OVERTAKE POS F*** st!!!

You know I hear TnT yelling on the side of the mat!!! How about YELLING at those behind the scenes that are SCREWING our program!!!!

At this point intime, IF I am BRANDS, I would get FIRED before I would let the kid walk WITHOUT giving a FULL explanation!!!! It is that simple!!!

"Uh listen fans, BO asked to bang my wife so......????" OK, F him then!!!! but if BO wanted to TRAIN at IOWA like his DAMN teammate was doing at OAK st.??????? Then FIND a F-in way to make it happen or send SUPERMAN LEE to train with him in PA!!!! DO SOMETHING!!!!

give it a rest already, AJ made his own bed. I would have loved to have him here as much as the next but you make out to be some big conspiracy, the guy couldn't even behave himself before he was even officially in school, let alone previous legal issues. now there were way too many idiots who thought "our guy" at 197 was better anyways and treated AJ like crap, that was always stupid, where's that guy now right? but that doesn't change what happened.

That's a big win for Drake. His record is mostly a factor of the quality of competition he has faced. He's probably still top four at that weight. He's just wrestled the top three guys several times.


Would love to see him get some favorable matchups then make a deep run on the front side of the bracket again

After watching Jax v Larkin last night, I agree. Larkin is an animal and it took everything he had just to fend off a Jax TF. Byrd and Drake look like dinosaurs compared to some of these young guns!
Jax is the favorite at 133.
Curious to see how national seeding shakes out at 133.
Ditto
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Many of those seeds were crazy low because of significant underperformance during the season.
Peterson & Keuter because they didn’t have an RPI. Peterson would probably be wrestling for 3rd, if Bouzakis wasn’t upset by Volk. Ben wrestling for 3rd is above where he would have been seeded with an RPI. Ayala definitely above his seed. Bailey at seed is my guess, Vombaur is tough. Block below, but gutsy to get 9th. The weight cut, new sleeve on the knee and he did something to his hand against Lamar. VV above seed and not over seeded. Mikey above seed. Kennedy hopefully at seed. Angelo is what it is. Gabe way above seed and not over seeded
Really need Drake opposite of Forrest. That’s a nightmare match up. Hope Forrest ends up on the same side as Blaze/Davino and they take care of him. That’s the most realistic path to a title.
It doesn’t matter where Forrest is seeded he’s the favorite. Drake just needs to be opposite of him to have a chance at making the finals
Yea because it’s been some of the worst seeding Iowa has had at big ten in decades. How many of our guys wrestle above their seeds (won matches against better seeds) in the winners bracket??
See above
Jax is winning it all at 133. Drake has a chance at the finals if he is opposite Jax. Jax and Blaze opposite Drake would be great.
This 110%!!
He didn’t do anything for the last two periods, imo. Block looked good and was on his offense.
Yep, he gutted it out. Wrestled through his bad shape along with a dinged up knee and hand

YOU give it a rest!!!! AJ has been at TWOOO skools now with NO problems, yet US/IOWA aint one of them even though his brother is here and he was here!!!!

^^^^^ THIS is the sHEEEttttt I am talking about!!!! Ceratinaly NOT saying he was an ANGEL or would have saved the program or ANYTHING like that!!!!

I AM SAYING, we?IOWA are behind AND falling farther behind INSTEAD of the opposite!!! good ol HGH head Krailure over at F*** st has ALL sorts of "Happy Valley HORSE SHeeet going on!!!! Hell just brought in the JAPanese kid..... WTF is that????? Can we get the Russian Tank????

NO we can't KEEP the F-in #1 kid in the country!!!! Then WE/IOWA takes a chance on what appears to be??? Some A$$HAT at 197, and he screws us!!!!! That story ALSO needs to be TOLD!!!! WTF happened????? I can ONLY see it as oneway!!!! That is kid walked away looking for MORE$$$$$

Well, IF that is the case, you know what FU!!!!

Gabe didn’t have the matches for an RPI either at 197, right?

Oh, look. An ignorant comment from you. What else is new?
So far the following wrestlers have outwrestled their seed:

Petersen
Ayala
Voinovich
Caliendo
Arnold
Kueter
Nasir will at worst be to seed

following wrestlers have a chance to wrestle to seed:
PK

Ferrari wrestled to seed.
Block wrestles below seed.

maybe MSU knows a little ball.

Two things can be true…

Iowa wrestled well today.

The above take is laughable. The seeding system was a joke.
