Every time I've ever watched an ISU meet they have come out this way. Now I know what the Gophers mean about wrestling us. Booooooooooring.
Glad I watched more of the Vikings game than this meet.

Yeah, we all know this is Iowa's Wrestlemania. They just get up for this meet more than the others. Occasionally little brother gets to beat up on big brother. We shouldn't schedule them anymore as it just doesn't help our squad.
Am I forgetting any of them?

Iowa wanted it more. The last 3 ISU wrestlers knew what they had to do to win the meet and they didnt do it. They just did enough to win their match and didnt go after the Iowa wrestler. They wanted to dance instead of wrestle.
I'm not a big wrestling fan, so I don't know much (but am consequently similar to a great majority of the US population) but there was a lot of sitting around watching nothing happen. Seemed out of most matches (7 minutes?) I saw about 3-4 minutes of wrestling and 3-4 minutes (more in the Heavy) of crap which consisted of listening to crappy broadcasters talk about people I've never heard of before and waiting for stalling calls which never came. Maybe I'm wrong, but with all the hype and trying to get more people interested in wrestling, this meet did not help the sport.
Is anything being done to liven up this sport for the general population?

I was surrounded by Hawks the whole meet... luckily they were really nice.
There was this little kid in front of me, probably 2-3... he was asking his mom where Herky was. And was like "Mommy, maybe he's going to the bathroom.." I started cracking up, it was cute.

This is their Olympics. Their Royal Rumble. I don't see any advantage to continue to wrestle these guys. We have everything to lose and nothing to gain. :biglaugh:
Hmmmmm... Funny.. Didn't here you squawking much after the B-ball game yesterday. But man you came out of the cave for this one. Have fun with your one major win in a sport this year. We will see your wrestlers again at the midlands and Ncaa tourney. How did that work out for you guys last year?
You mean you didn't see the steel chairs and barbed wire bats hidden next to the scorer's table?!?
The reason the "general population" doesn't like wrestling, is similar to why they don't like curling. There's too much strategy and thinking involved to keep people "enthralled" for an hour and a half.
Agreed. I'm personally a huge hockey fan and I don't understand how people can badmouth the sport and then turn around and watch a sport where they stand around and swat each other 90% of the time. There may not be a lot of scoring in hockey, but it's constant action.
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. You speak like it is just that easy to get bonus points. We did get a major in the second to last match, so he did what he could, were you expecting a pin? Zabriski and feilds are very evenly matched so for him to get bonus point would be very lucky and Feilds would have had to mess up badly. I agree Iowa wanted it more but I would not blame the bigger guys for it.
To be the best you have to beat the best... Sanderson wants to wrestle tough competition if they wanted to go undefeated the whole season we might as well go out and wrestle in the Virginia Duals every week....
Come on!!!! are you that stupid?????
Apparently Broodwich and Alum2002 need huge SARCASM tags for their posts. :skeptical: Those who don't get it, their mocking hawk fan excuses for losses in every other sport this year.
