Ok side note, why was the Iowa dual so late this year and not in December? Very strange for Iowa to be the last dual before Big XII conference tournament.

IIRC, didn't the date need to be moved to schedule the new Big 12 wrestling members?

Do you think sinjin is unaware that he isn’t a scholarship athlete? Or that he had 0% chance at winning today?

So it's ok for his coach to refer to him as some chump they found at a 7-11? That's a ****** move by Dresser regardless. Scholarship or not the kid has worked and dedicated himself. Deserves better from his coach.

Saw some fight from quite a few guys. Degen and Straw especially. I wonder if Parker’s injury is still hampering him a bit. My guess is he is medically good to go but just not quite ready from a competition standpoint. But they needed to get him a match so his first action back was not Big 12s. Surprised about Simmons, thought he was off to a good start in that match. I’m old school, though and that is why I’m not a fan of leg pass defense. What Glynn did is exactly how to stop it. Cradled him up and changed the whole match.
Disappointed we didn’t get to see a match at 197.

I assume you weren’t at the social & seen Dresser talking with Sinjin & his parents. Dresser & staff have a lot of respect for Sinjin & you are trying to turning nothing into something

those who think dresser disrespects sinjin are completely out of loop. Remember, this is D1 wrestling, not all "butterflies and daisies". I love it, Zaddick at Sukup was epic. The only thing i thought was bush is that the Hawks even hijacked our halftime. We have a long way to go but have the right guys at helm.

If I was a 197 backup wrestler's parent, I'd be pissed that the meet was never in doubt and my son's coach forfeited rather than give someone else some action.

Holloway weighed in but was injured. I'd be ok with the coach not running my kid out there in that situation.

What you mean a meet that is never in doubt? As much as I hate to admit it, hardly a hostile environment when ISU is getting its head kicked in.

Wilcke was definitely center mat warming up before and and at intermission. Weird deal.

You sure about that?

Or...maybe the parent would be happy that a coach didn't send their son out there at half speed because of an injury in a blow out win. Holloway is injured but was there to wrestle to try and keep it at a decision if the dual was close. It wasn't, so he didn't have to go. Tom protecting his guy from further injury.

There’s at least one more backup 197 and one more backup 184 on the roster. What about them?
