You'll have to share photos sometimes. Ours has returned for the post-match show.
Kerk will get him when it counts!,
Kirk figured why not. Now he knows he can’t do that. Cassi had no intention on shooting ever. Kerk will have to move better and shoot against him. Cassi is a rock now and thick in mid area where he can still put weight on you. Cael was noticeably not happy that kerk tried to throw him that second time.
Putting my Cael hat on, I suspect he’ll say he was pleased to get out with a win, is proud of his guys, but sees room for improvement. Peak in March, name of the game!!!
I thought I saw him shake his head after the first one.
One surprise I have is that AB didn’t go harder after bonus. He had Assad on the ropes but didn’t finish him. Still ridiculously fantastic wrestler
Probably. When you have a guy that has you locked up and try to throw him and when you do he squeezes you and stand you up. When you stand up you are screwed. He has all of the leverage. Did you see him walking off? The guy is a tank now. Need to hire the sc coach for iowa wrestling .
Is Angel Rivera the best that the B1G can contribute to a nationally broadcast wrestling event?
Kerk just beats Parris with singles and then gets quick one against Cass. You think, he’ll just keep on singling and it’ll be a beautiful thing. But he got away from the gameplan. I suspect he believes he’s stronger than Cass and figured, he wants to throw me, I’ll throw him. But the reason Cael’s guys win is because they’re hellishly talented, they create a gameplan, and they stick to the gameplan

Good night, and good wrestling, everyone.

Question for all refs out there. The refs said that Kemerer didn’t have the takedown because time ran out. But to my untrained eye, Kemerer didn’t have the leg hooked to earn the takedown. CS was smart, of course. He didn’t let Kemerer hook the leg and kept his over Kem’s. Was it or wasn’t it a takedown, forgetting time on the clock?
James Franklin can only dream about what Cael does every year. PSU Wrestling is the best, F Iowa and their obnoxious fans!!! WE ARE!!!!!
It was because he controlled his arms and head, in that case the leg doesn't need covered, but by time that happened, time was out thankfully!!
As much as it was galacticly delightful to beat Iowa at Carver, I was disappointed in Bravo-Young and Berge for being soooo passive. Kerk tried some stuff that simply didn't work, but at least he TRIED stuff.
I hope to see the Hawkeyes in Happy Valley next year.

If Kerk had to win for State to win, do we all agree he’d wrestle different?
Absolutely! He got Ken a restart and a rest!
Once again, I don’t know much about wrestling but that was so much fun to watch. I’m down in Cabo with buddies golfing and forced everyone to watch entire meet.

Seriously…Cael and PSU wrestling recruiting ground is as fertile as Georgia’s and Alabama’s footprint. PSU is the Alabama of wrestling.
