PortaJohn Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 It's seems there is a little confusion of what "getting Carvered" is. For example 1998 returning champ and heavily favored Eric Guerrero is up 6-2 in the 3rd with not much time left, falls apart, and gets beaten by freshman Doug Schwab. I posted the match below. Starts @11:00. It was an electric ending and a "he got Carvered" moment. Toss up matches, regardless if the away wrestler is ranked higher, in Iowa City do not meet "he got Carvered" criteria. 2 I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerlock3 Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 In that match or Kolat/Ironside, they basically forced super high paced matches because they could win a shoot out but not a chess match, in Ironsides case it was more impressive because Kolat was such a tough handifghter that ironside had to shoot from the outside to keep his offence intact. The scary thing about PSU is that most of their guys you would favor in a shoot out or chess match. Who in this dual is gonna beat PSU on pace? maybe 133, 141, 184....not 125, 149, 157, 174, 197, or 285. Caliendo wrestles really hard so I won't put him as a 'no', but I'm pretty sure we're all sorta spooked by messenbrink. 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

Expand Alex Meyer beat Mark Hall his freshman year and Meyer wasn't a shootout type guy. I believe as Hall has told his version his adrenaline was too high to start the match and he gassed by the end not because of Meyer's pace but the environment.

VakAttack Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 I agree that not every "lower ranked guy beats higher ranked guy" is a Carvering. Carvering will not be if Franek beats Haines, it will be if like Glazier beats Brooks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSULou64 Posted February 9, 2024 Share Posted February 9, 2024 I didn't really think Kasak would qualify? He may be higher ranked but it's not like he's heavily favored or a seasoned veteran.
