The point I was trying to make is that even if Carr were to go into Carver and lose, there would be no long term effect. Who really cares if he loses a meaningless dual match in early December?
Iowa wrestling meet
- Thread starter ISUWR5
- Start date
I looked up the Warner-Milkus match from last year, here it is for anybody who has Flo

100% keep the shirt on Carr. If he goes to Scuffle and beats every one not named Nolf, then think about pulling it. But, early December, for an Iowa dual, no. He has some good results this year, but nothing that screams "pull the shirt because he can contend for high podium".
Agree with crablegs -- may be a tough environment, but it also will help prepared him for future environments. Where it would be happening has zero impact on whether it should be pulled or not, IMO.

Hypothetically things go our way and Carr wrestled
Lee pins - 6-0 IA
Gomez win - 6-3 IA
Murin wins - 9-3 IA
Degen wins - 9-6 IA
Carr wins - 9-9
Bull tech - 14-9 IA
Coleman wins - 14-12 IA
Cash wins - 17-12 IA
Miklus wins - 17-15 IA
Gremmel wins - 18-17 ISU
Will get interesting if Lee and Lugo are still out
As I look at previous results, I see Parker beat Murin 8-0 at Fargo a few years back. I know that is dated, but it seems like a winnable match. This dual looks to be a 5-5 or 6-4 (either way) kind of match, with Iowa State threatening bonus at 174 and Iowa getting assured bonus at 125 (with Lee) and 165.
141 is a winnable match, but Murin is a definite favorite. Parker just lost to Murin’s backup last weekend (although he should have won imo).
Really looking forward to this dual. 133, 141, 149, 197 all have potential to be really good, interesting matches.
Styles make matches. Parker can match the physical style of Murin. Should be a great battle. You're right, he had Turk beat and smoked Happel.
This. And maybe i missed it but is it only online through the Big 10 network if you wanna see it?
Neither is free. Either need a BTN+ subscription or FloWrestling account.
Iowa usually has their meets on the radio, with Mark Ironside as one of the commentators. Not sure on channel, but I-Heart Radio has been a good place to find it in the past.
What the hell happened to the good ole days of it being on IPTV???
Which is actually a good thing that there is revenue in the sport now. It sucks for the casual on-looker, but people can now make a living covering the sport of wrestling. The coverage now is incredible compared to those days. That's a topic for a whole different day though.
Agreed being on IPTV was awesome, but now it reaches such a larger audience. A little bit of a cost, but so much more availability to the sport. Flo doesn't always do the best with their live events, but at least its out there.
Only if you want to listen to the Iowa broadcast. Iowa, Penn State, and Oklahoma State are the only schools I know of that do radio broadcasts for Wrestling duals. Though there are probably a couple others (Ohio State, Cornell, maybe Michigan?) that I just haven't happened across.
I used to be a heavy favorite of letting Carr wrestle this year - my mind has changed. He needs a year of development. He isn't as close as I thought he was (contend for top 3-4 at NCAAs). Having him go at CHA for his first match isn't a good idea.
I will put $25 towards our RTC if we actually wrestle any true freshman against Iowa. Any takers?
