So you would have cut Desanto too?

I don't know about that, but I hope Iowa erects a life-size 5'3 statue of Spencer Lee and places it next to that statue of Gable calling for stalling.

He wouldn't have to beat all 3 most likely, depending on how the brackets are drawn.

The schtick that I pretend to be a PSU fan while secretly being a Rutgers fan?

The threads on this forum and the Iowa forum about the perceived lack of respect by Penn State fans for Spencer Lee (Iowa fans are absolutely bewildered that Spencer wasn't given a standing ovation by the Penn State faithful) made me think of Coach Cael Sanderson. This man is the only undefeated NCAA D1 wrestler, ever. 159-0 4x champ. Olympic Gold Medalist. The most successful coach in college wrestling currently. He wrestled in the state of Iowa. By all accounts he is an upstanding man, father and coach. Yet Hawkeye fans regularly refer to him as Carl, Bael, Kale and other juvenile misspelling of his names to show him disrespect. What is the reason for this? And how can they criticize Penn State fans with a straight face for not giving Spencer Lee a standing ovation during a dual meet when every mention of Coach Sanderson, an undisputed American hero, is filled with such vitriol and disrespect?

I also vote Iowa. Spencer will bonus the whole way through. Woods is a bonus machine too until the finals. Siebrecht will collect a few pins too. Warner is capable of early bonus too. Cass will have at least 3 pins.

He's been wrestling really well this year. What is trollish about my post? I think it's pretty realistic.

Plenty meaning 10% of Iowa fans? From the video it looks like hardly anyone is even clapping that's from the Iowa section.

I would describe that as light applause, most likely from the PSU fans in attendance. Definitely not a standing ovation from the Iowa fan who you can see are definitely still seated and not clapping.

125 - Lee pins his way through NCAAs. Gets his 4th title and wins his 3rd Hodge. He gets a standing O from all fans. 133 - Teske 2-2 141 - Woods runner-up (Alirez wins) 149 - Murin breaks through and takes 3rd 157 - Sibrecht R12 165 - Kennedy 5th 174 - Brands R12 184 - Assad R12 197 - Warner 4th HWT - Cass 3rd Iowa takes 2nd as a team

Penn State is undefeated in duals and most likely will stay that way. They will win the BIG10 dual title and probably win BIG10s individually too. However, this team is not as strong as past teams -- deeper, yes, but I feel like the number of "locks" to win the title in March has declined compared to past years. In past years it wasn't a question whether guys like DT, Taylor, Nolf, Nickal or Zain would win...it was a matter of whether they'd win the finals by tech or major. This year's team doesn't have guys like that. It seems ridiculous to say that about guys who could be 3x, 4x or 5x NCAA champs but it's true. 125 - Steen is a scrapper but tiny for the weight. I don't think he qualifies for NCAAs as he would have to place top 8 at Big 10s to do so. The Suriano Curse continues to haunt PSU. 133 - RBY, believe it or not, is the biggest "lock" for PSU to get a champ in March. He has Fix figured out, so his biggest threat I think is actually Pat Glory due to unfamiliarity. Still, I think RBY wins his 3rd. 141 - Bartlett is overrated. He has great defense but he's got very little offense from neutral and from top. I think he makes R12 at best. He can stick with anyone in matches with his defense but against top guys (see Real Woods) he's not going to be able to score a TD and his opponents will. Also, he never scores bonus points. 149 - Van Ness is also overrated, although he is a freshman. Despite his pedigree he looks sluggish and unexplosive. He shoots straight on which makes it easy to defend. He's also not that great from bottom. I think he goes 2-2 at NCAAs. Maybe he's injured this year but I see him taking big steps next season. 157 - Haines I actually have the most upside on. He's a freshman but he seems to have upperclassman strength. Good neutral offense, can get out of bottom. Seems to have decent defense even against funky guys like Siebrecht. Already beat Will Lewan too. I have him placing mid-AA (4-6) with a minute chance at making the finals. 165 - Facundo actually has nice neutral offense but he's easily tied up by guys like Kennedy. Not much of a rider either. With the right bracket I can see him making low AA. I predict 7-8. Needs to gain some strength it seems. 174 - Starocci is still the favorite although Brands showed you can slow him down significantly with the right tactic. Guys like Labriola or Lewis could upset him. Don't forget about 22-1 Ed(mond) Ruth! 184 - Brooks I put at #2 most likely to repeat for Penn State. He did lose to Coleman and Hidlay will be a threat again, but he's been looking really solid. 197 - Dean took a few losses earlier this year but has stabilized. He rode Warner easily but gets in a lot of close matches. A bigger 197er like Elam or Laird could take him out in March. HWT - Kerk looks bigger and better this year. He's finally beating Cassioppi although he's shown he is prone to gassing. Parris gassed him out and other big HWTs may employ the same strategy. With smart match management I have him as a finalist. Overall my final predictions are as follows: 125 NA 133 champ 141 R12 149 2-2 157 5th place 165 7th place 174 runner-up 184 champ 197 3rd HWT runner-up PSU still wins the team title

what was the dirty move? The Desanto Kimura?

No, it’s just another element from freestyle past that I think should be added.

And why not add the ball grab too?

I’ve heard many fans are annoyed by Carter Starocci’s arrogant attitude. Well this future Hawkeye is calling out Starocci and saying that the 2x reigning champ is overrated. Wonder if Iowa fans think this young man is arrogant as well? https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoAxd85Do_9/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Here's an idea to deal with the problem of stalling in college wrestling. Period 1 - if after 1 minute there is no score, a double stall is called. If after 2 minutes there's still no score another double stall is called and both wrestlers get a point. Now for the rest of the match any stall call results in 1 point for the other wrestler. Period 2 - if after 1 minute top man has not scored or pinned his opponent and continues to ride he is called for stalling. Period 3 - if after 1 minute top man has not scored or pinned his opponent and continues to ride he is called for stalling. This may seem excessive but the major complaint seems to be the ref not calling stalling frequently enough, so this solves the problem by putting in 4 mandated stall calls based on set points in the match. This also means subsequent discretionary stall calls result in points.

So it’s a deep rooted Iowa tradition. Hawks fans should bring it back.

They should if they truly hate stalling.

Will Iowa fans call for stalling the next time they see Real Woods ride the ankle? I doubt it.

To be honest, if they switched from folk to free next season, I think PSU would be even more dominant than they are under folkstyle rules. Look at how many members of the US senior freestyle team are from the NLWC. Now compare how many are from the HWC.
