Great match overall.

OKay, I'll admit to going over to Iowa Rivals site to get their take on things. The Cliff notes version is:

Davis ducked the match at 133
Kasak is juiced up somehow, In fact, maybe that's one of the "secrets" of the overall success of the program.
Ferrari will beat CS next time they meet. Ferrari will be a four time national champ.
Barr will never be a four time national champion! That seemed to be a victory lap for them.
David Taylor will siphon off a lot of talent to help bring Penn State down.


You forgot….


and….

Franklin is a puke. Get him off the screen


Although the Franklin digs could be Penn State interlopers on their board.

Low class is an upgrade to what the degenerates are on that board. They’re sick scumbags.

Hodge should be Mesenbrink's. No one more dominant. He may not go the distance all year. Has any wrestler finished a season not wrestling a full match?

Tom...do you have the takedown numbers from the match? During the broadcast the season takedown totals for and against were shown and the announcers were seemed amazed at the discrepancy !

I am not sure that this is true or not, but some people are being reported seeing 10 people with Iowa jackets on jogging towards Iowa City.

They are trying to catch Arnold. He got about a three hour head start on them running away.

I have never seen anyone like Mitch. Not even Jason Nolf had the pace and attack rate of Mitchell. DeSanto had the pace but not the attack rate against top guys. I could 100% see him teching every single guy this season.

I posted last year that MM is like the mosquito when you’re trying to sleep. Relentlessly annoys the crap out of you. And not a lot you can do about.
Definitely fun to watch.

Starocci didn't look like Starocci

I agree Carter S. seemed a bit disinterested....might that had come from his expected match against Arnold? He may have been pumped to dismantle Arnold and become slightly deflated against Ferrari? I do feel Ferrari wrestled well.

Carter has been known to take the cautious approach in close matches. Ferrari did wrestle well and he has his brother’s one legged defensive style down pat. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if Ferrari had come out with the urgency that he had in the last half of the third.

Yeah, I was trying to keep the Cliff Notes to a, well, Cliff notes level. Anyhow, a couple of other diversions seem to pique their interest too.

Bo Nickal pumps up Kirk to possibly beat Steveson. They don't like that. They believe that will enrage Steveson and he will destroy Kerk. Now, most rational Penn State fans know that Steveson is the favorite and very well will win. If and when he does, expect the Iowa fan base to take a victory lap as if he were theirs.

David Taylor's international record is more impressive than is Cael's. International wrestlers don't know who Cael is. Somehow, they must believe this will translate into Okie State overtaking Penn State. What that has to do with success at Iowa even if were to happen is...? That seems like a very serious bout of coping.
