if you really believe that you know nothing about wrestling...this isnt the correct forum for this but thats sad you actually believe what you write
You better believe I believe it. At least I believe it for most squawk fans that bood Cael. If Brands left Iowa for Cornell or wherever do you really think if he got bood when Cornell came to Ames that it would be because Clone fans are mad at him for leaving Iowa? Like I said, not buying it for a second.
Will Slaten be back next year? With all of the off the mat issues that went on around him, I'd be surprised if he makes it back. Also, won't Thompson be here next year for heavyweight? I know there was some news on him a while back but I thought he was good to go for 2011.
Matt Gibson, a 6'6", juco might be the HWT next year. Gibson beat Thompson at the Harold Nichols Open in 2008. Here is an article on him Beast
Having Gallick back next year is huge. Between Long, Gallick, and Reader, ISU has the basis for a decent team. Just need guys like Weathermen or Jensen to step up.
We just seemed to set the tone on day 1. People can say it doesn't matter, and that it's arguably easier to gain more points by losing early. But, to lose five of the first ten matches has got to be tough on the psyche, right off the bat. Couple that with iowa winning 9 of the first 10, and I believe 17 of the first 19, and it just makes for kick in the teeth. Some teams can overcome that big deficit, and hopefully KJ builds a program that will be able to do just that...
Was that it? The scoreboard on the mat had 6 or 7 lights on at the end. Were they adding period lights for SV1, then TB1?
Yeah, they've been flipping the lights on for each one.
4 = SV1
5 = TB1, part A
6 = TB1, part B
And there are only 6 lights on each scoreboard.
I was in the last row, so it was hard to see if there were 6 or 7. Thanks for clearing that up.
