Joke aside... Caliendo to OU? Who sits out? Nachohouse or Picklo? Does Picklo go up? Nachohouse or Caliendo up to 174?

Penn State getting another 165lber?

I never said Howard wasn't a contender, to be clear.

But Howard and Ayala are not the same! Howard is so much better!

That was like twelve years ago now? Isn't Howard going to be a 32 year old Frosh?

Ah yeah, fair points. I don't think Cruz is that caliber. They still need Jesuroga.

I would say there are many tiers separating them. Ayala is a contender.

Okay, gents. We are starting this dual at 125, because only people who suck start elsewhere! For the sake of argument, we have both squads at fully healthy because if anyone hopes gents duck or are hurt they also suck. Also for the sake of argument this is for purely entertainment purposes because if anyone wants to be a turdbiscuit then they suck and I have a pineapple seat to sell them. Now I am typing this out on my phone, so as to get a feel for momentum as the scores come in. - 125 - Drake Ayala, Iowa VS Kysen Terukina, ISU Ayala comes out fast and strong and puts a lot of points on the board. He gets worn down a bit and loses the bonus but gets a wide 12-6 Decision. Iowa is up 3 - 0 - 133 - Cullen Schriever, Iowa VS Evan Frost, ISU Much the opposite of the last match in which Iowa came out strong, it is Frost coming out hot. He isn't able to separate as much as Ayala was and Schriever nearly grinds him out with three late stall calls to force OT. Frost is able to get the TD from somewhere out of left field for a thrilling 9-7 Decision. Tied 3 - 3 - 141 - Real Woods, Iowa VS Jacob Frost, ISU It is very evident very early that Woods is on a different level. After the first he has taken Frost down half a dozen times. It gets late in the third and he realizes he is close to the Tech. He lollygagged on Top too long in the 2nd, though, and 'only' pulls out the 20-8 Major. Iowa leads 7 - 3 - 149 - Victor Voinovich, Iowa VS Paniro Johnson, ISU Paniro comes out strong and fast with a few catch and release in the first. VV is able to build up riding time in the 2nd by riding him out. Match ends with Johnson getting a late takedown off a desperate VV shot. Johnson via 8-5 Decision. Iowa leads 7 - 6 - 157 - Cobe Siebrecht, Iowa VS Cody Chittum, ISU Chittum comes out and just controls the match. A few takedowns and riding time nearly locked up late in the third and BAM! He is fighting off his back for thr last 45 seconds of the match and Siebrecht pulls a 9-6 Decision victory right out of his tophat, giving Iowa an exciting, and fantastic lead heading in to the break. Iowa leads 10 - 6 - 165 - Patrick Kennedy, Iowa VS David Carr, ISU This turns in to a full-on, all-out brawl in which PK aptly earns the moniker Lunchbox Mits Jr. The match is 4-4 and heading in to OT where Carr gets a lightning quick takedown to seal it with a 6-4 Decision victory. Iowa leads 10 - 9 - 174 - Nelson Brands, Iowa VS MJ Gaitan, ISU This match isn't at all like it was last year, in which Brands demolishrd Gaitain. This us a back and forth fist fight. Someone has to restrain Terry as his boy, Nelson, gets out Nelson Brandsded. Gaitain takes another gutsy one for ISU in rideouts as he rides him out in UTB2 via a 3-2 Decision. Iowa State takes their first lead of the night. Iowa State leads 12 - 10. - 184 - Brennan Swafford, Iowa VS Will Feldkamp, Iowa State Folks are curious about Swafford? Well the Iowa room isn't and he shows why. He comes out and exchanges takedowns with the grad transfer. Feldkamp seems to have more trouble with his speed than Swafford does Feldkamp's perceived size advantage and it pays off to the tune of an 11-8 Decision victory for Swafford - putting Iowa back in the lead. Iowa leads 13 - 12. - 197 - Abe Assad, Iowa VS Manny Rojas, Iowa State Wait... what? Rojas up at 197? Dafuq? It doesn't matter because he decks Assad faster that we can physically say 'What the phul?' Rojas wins via Pin in 22 seconds. Iowa State back in the lead by a rather wide margin. Iowa State leads 18 - 13. - 285 - Anthony Cassioppi, Iowa VS Yonger Bastida, Iowa State Some folks, myself included, have been frothing at the mouth for matches like this since Bastida beat Cornell's Fernandes. The difference between that Bastida and this one is that this one somehow alrrafy weighs 240lbs and is barely five (5) pounds lighter than Cassioppi. Interesting to note that Wrestlestat gives this on to Bastida via 6-5 Decision. The first period is a snoozefest with nobody really committing to anything until Bastida hits a smooth takedown just prior the the period running out. Cassioppi selects neutral in the 2nd and now it looks like his is head hunting. He whiffs on a throw and gives up another TD. Down 3-1 entering the 3rd. Bastida chooses down. Cassioppi rolls him up like a fruit rollup for the Pin at 5:36. Iowa beats Iowa State 19 - 18 One might say that Chittum cost Iowa State the dual by only wrestling 6M15S of his match. One might say Cassioppi is a bad man. One might say that none if this is going to happen. To which I would say: You suck.

184 makes more sense. 197 is fixing to be as tough as it has ever been. Buchanan, Hidlay, ane Brooks will all be there. Him going 184 is the most peak potential points for the team.

Cody Goodwin is saying 197 on Twitter, I believe.

Says the actual predominant expert on all things fake. And lame.

I agree...

I thought looking at the Open and WTT that Martinez looked to have caught up a bit. I think it was like 6-4 or 5-4 last they wrestled?

I agree entirely. I am being (un)fairly vindictive.

Did he really, though? He didn't weigh an ounce of 149.1 and wrestled 165. Guy was tiny. Brawley was weighing in with two ten pound weights in each hand to weigh 165.1 to wrestle 184 for the team for most of the season. It made the team a very dangerous dual team. Neither was near peak performance for their weight class. They wrestled up for the team. It is known.

FYI, he has been approved for another year via medical waiver...

I hope he recovers well and quickly.

Here is what I have... - WFS - 50 KG - Alyssa Lampe VS Erin Golston 53 KG – Samara Chavez VS Felicity Taylor 57 KG - Alexandra Hedrick VS Amanda Martinez 59 KG - Maya Nelson VS Brenda Reyna 72 KG – Rose Cassioppi VS Brooklyn Hays 76 KG – Dymond Guilford VS Kylie Welker - GR - 60 KG - Randon Miranda VS Dylan Koontz 63 KG - Sammy Jones VS Dylan Gregerson 72 KG - Noah Wachsmuth VS Michael Hooker 77 KG - Payton Jacobson VS RaVaughn Perkins 82 KG - Ben Provisor VS Barrett Stanghill 130 KG - Donny Longendyke VS Brandon Metz - MFS - 57 KG - Nick Suriano VS Jakob Camacho 61 KG - Daton Fix VS Austin DeSanto 65 KG – Joseph McKenna VS Matthew Kolodzik 70 KG – Sam Sasso VS Alec Pantaleo 74 KG – Vincenzo Joseph VS Keegan O’Toole 79 KG – Alex Dieringer VS David McFadden 92 KG - Kollin Moore VS Nathan Jackson These are IF these ladies and gents show. I don't actually think Suriano, Fix, Joseph, or Moore will show for MFS, for example.

I think they have enough depth in the 157-165 range that Pinto can stay at 184 - if he wants to eat/grow in to 86 KG. That said, him at 174 is probably similar to Robb dropping from 165 to 157. It is a better weight for him.

This turdbiscuit shouldn't be allowed to wrestle at all anymore - period. Actually I want him to wrestle only PD3 and Tommy Gantt for the rest of his life.

Would you take him over Legend Lamer? I ask for the purpose of team chemistry, as well. One of the Lamer's would be riding pine. Unless everyone went on the non-steroid Salazar diet and Rowley was up to 197.

No. Thank you, though.

If you are the absolute worst and mine are even just slightly better that means 2 of the 3 that we have differently would be mine being correct. Sooooo... Koontz, Kikiniou, or Coon. Two of them would win, to keep mine just slightly better than yours. I like those odds.

Here is to hoping Mitch Moore selects Michigan... <-- filled with Captain Morgan Black
