2025 Iowa vs ISU

Does the tape help with grip?
The tape helps his style to win matches. Having that much tape on his hands makes hand fighting for the opponent more brutal. Also very beneficial for Bailey when using the crossface. Can be dangerous leading to concussions.

I’d agree about the hand fighting point on the feet, but I’m not sure how all that tape helps him in the top position. Generally just curious the rationale. I was a pretty good top wrestler, and honestly feel like that much tape would hinder my ability to lock up tilts or my hands on cradles. But I’ve also never tried, so just curious.

Gotta imagine that much tape makes friction which makes the grip stronger...especially when slightly moist from sweat

When people sweat they become harder to grab so hand fighting him would give you a rough surface when you grab which would make it easier than if he was sweaty. And on bottom it would make it easier for someone to control your wrists . On top the only advantage I could see would be using it to crossface. And no the tape wouldn't cause a concussion

Iowa, Iowa State, UNI tri dual in wells fargo (i guess Casey's center) would that get more eyballs on wrestling? Always end with cyhawk on stage ....OR go 16team bracket including all divisions of Iowa teams including wartburg, grand view, etc, and isu uni as 2/3 every year. thoughts?

That would be a blast, if you could get everybody on the same page. I really like the tournament idea. Probably won't happen for a lot of reasons but I'd love to see it.
 
Has the date/time of the duel been announced?

Thinking about buying two season tickets just to ensure good seats for this meet.
 
the link wouldn't post correctly from the article on On3

could this possibly be correct for iowa ?

I’d be shocked if Dean Petersen isn’t at 125
 
With this dual rapidly approaching, I took a look at WrestleStat. Everything is settled on the mat, obviously, but the site doesn't think too highly of ISU in some of the matchups. Has Iowa winning 24-6. Some of the more notable "predictions":

Peterson over Poulin (Poulin is 1-0 vs. Peterson)
Bailey over Ech
Williams over Vinnie (or Paniro or JFrost... *face palm*)
Endene over Rocky (like, WHAT?!?!?!?!?)
