It wasn’t age 11 smart ass and I stopped because I had to have surgery and recovery didn’t go as planned. Thanks for your input.
So how about that dual today huh? That was a pretty good one I'd say
Seeing Casey find his offense a bit the last couple duals has been wonderful. Hope he finishes with momentum this season. Guessing he will.
Sam has me pretty fired up too. That guy has just gotten better and better. Awesome finisher.
The smile on Casey’s face when he went up to be on the radio was priceless - as a matter of fact - so was Nate’s when he greeted him
Casey getting that swag going, love to see it. Depth at 125 is showing up. David and Marcus putting on a show and Sam closing. Kids are fighters
5-7 where postseason is concerned.
Grand View, MSU-Moorhead and St. Cloud aren't D-1.
Did anyone else think it was super loud yesterday? I don't know if I've ever been in the past when they had this but was surprised at the overall volume.
Was really disappointed as a long time ticket holder to not be able to sit in our normal seats!!
Yes the music was crazy f…..g loud - almost un bearable - kinda ruined the atmosphere of our teams doing so well -sure drowned out the crowd!!
Very loud. Almost ear piercing actually set off the noise warning on my wifes apple watch a couple of times from the music.
They needed to figure something out to address the seating for ticket holders. It ended up being a cluster for a lot of people. We ended up getting some seats by a couple young kids and their parents that hadn't been to a dual before. Ended up taking them up to the landing to get David's autograph and picture along with Coleman and Casey. I'm still in amazement at how well everyone on the team is with fans, especially young kids. Seeing kids faces just light up and getting to interact with the wrestlers even for a quick moment makes you step back and appreciate how lucky we are to have them here at Iowa State.
Dunno about everyone else, but the slow country songs blaring really got me in the mood to kick someone's @$$!
I was definitely disappointed with the seating. It was packed by the time my son and I were able to get there and we luckily found a couple spots in the lower bowl but it was not an ideal situation.
I'm curious if music during gymnastics events is normally that loud? My assumption was they would only play music during a floor routine but I really have no idea.
The seating was a god damned cluster f*ck. They should do it again based on the size of the crowd but they need to figure something out to have it be more structured and communicate this better to those that attend how it’s set up.
There's usually background music going the whole time, with separate music specifically for FX routines.
However, that's definitely the loudest I've ever heard the "background" music for gymnastics, by a few notches.
Several season ticket holders had no idea this was general admission seating, came at their usual time to find their seats occupied. Between that and the cord fiasco with the radio the usher in my section had his work cut out for him.
I have never been a huge fan of this event . The music was extremely loud and several people around me were complaining. Also lots of compaints about the long lines for concessions and how few concession stands were open. I also felt bad that Marcus and Sam wrestled their last match at Hilton at this event.

Do they have the internet? E-mail?
The info was e-mailed, posted on cyclones.com (with a map/diagram), and appeared on multiple social media feeds.
I have attended Beauty & the Beast events in the past & wrestling season ticket holders were able to sit in their assigned seats. I think the wrestling mat was moved to a different area this year. The email that said all the seats would be general admission came out pretty late & obviously not everyone got the message. I saw numerous disgruntled wrestling fans come in later & found their seats were taken. I understand their frustration.
I also agree that the music was excessively loud. Had to be pretty tough for the wrestlers to hear the whistles, refs, or coaches. I would like to hear what the Illinois team thought about it. (Definitely would have to inform the other team about the format)
The event definitely brings in a crowd, so hopefully positive changes can be made if they try this again in the future.
