I thought the rumor was Mesenbrink was beating Haines so Mesenbrink chose to go 165 and Haines had to keep making the cut to 157 If true, I’m skeptical he would do it next year then. But I guess it would make sense if Starocci comes back and they want Facundo in the lineup. But I could also see Sealey going right away too.

Just got around to watching the replay of this dual on BTN+. I think the buzzer went off (which couldn’t be heard on the twitter clip) before he was fully behind. If anyone wants to watch on BTN+ it starts around 1:09:30. Is crazy that Fongaro actually started on bottom there with 9 seconds left

What “top guys” are you talking about? Gilman is really the only one that sticks out to me and that’s mainly just because he was upset about Spencer Lee being the golden boy. Which of course was a similar situation with Ramos. They’ve had plenty of guys leave recently with no hard feelings.

That doesn’t really sound like either Gilman or Metcalf were saying anything negative about the Brands or the program. Just talking about how someone currently at Iowa might think someone that leaves Iowa is a “traitor.” Of course the counter-argument to that could be the alleged claim by Spencer Lee’s dad that Iowa was the only program that didn’t use negative recruiting in their recruitment of Spencer

Did Dollamur exist in 1994 when Iowa’s mat was manufactured?

I’d be shocked if he beat any of the top 4, but 5-8 is certainly possible IMO.

Yup, Berge looked pretty good there, gonna be a problem in March.

Looks like he’s gonna be the guy for the postseason right? I didn’t realize Flo actually already had him in their rankings even before this weekend (but Intermat has Hill)

@Husker_Du, I assume you don’t think this should have been called PD at 5:45 in this video either, especially since Mesenbrink put himself in that position? I think it still has to be PD, but refs can call you for stalling if you do it multiple times.

If this is supposed to be a list of guys that “don’t have good things to say about the program,” then Spencer Lee shouldn’t be on it. I saw someone earlier mention Metcalf making comments to Gilman whille Gilman was there and Metcalf was gone? Is there an article or something about that, I don’t recall that. Has Gilman even “not had good things to say about the program”? Don’t really recall that either. It more just seems like he’s a PSU fanboy now from what I’ve seen

Someone in the other thread about Cornell seniors said he already announced he was going to ASU? I do recall some chatter about that but not an announcement

It was a weird position, but I don’t hate that call.

If you like TiVo you might like Fubo. It’s basically cable but streaming

I think that was Erik, who is on the PSU roster and redshirting

Also this

Agree with the first sentence. But how does it look like Moore posted it unless he speaks in the third person?

You may need to work on your line-setting @AgaveMaria I did underestimate Rathjen though

I like how he avoids the Arnold question but then Gabe himself comes out and says he’s not healthy

@Husker_Du seems upset about this on x/twitter. I don’t hate the call TBH

Perhaps, lol. I’m not sure the “PSU is healthier” narrative is really true. They have certainly had their fair share of injuries. I can’t speak to how good the upper weight coaches are, but Iowa has certainly had their fair share of successful upper weights including many that improved. Cassioppi, Warner, Brands, etc. Their biggest problem this year is not teaching them to not gamble, although those guys probably only would’ve saved them a couple team points last night. I don’t really get the “Iowa angst” as a result of last night anyway, it pretty much went about as expected, except more people thought Woods would win and not Rathjen. The only surprising result IMO was Franek getting dominated, but he wasn’t really expected to win so I don’t think last night changes his outlook for NCAA’s much.

So Gable’s worst home loss was by 4 points?

I’m sure whatever you’d provide would be much cooler!

Either someone messaged them to him or sent him the screenshot. Any idea who the guy in the singlet that it shows as sending it is?

I believe most running tracks are made by “Mondo”

Apparently Iowa’s mat is neither, it’s the “Mediacom mat”
