Extra lb tomorrow then, correct?

Block I is still the best singlet, but these are a close 2nd

Block I is still the best singlet, but these are a close 2nd

The block I (not the I State for newcomers) is the iconic symbol of Iowa State wrestling and should never go away.

197 - Lawrence (WVU) by DQ over Babcock - illegal slam
West Virginia 19, Northern Iowa 7

What happened with that slam?

 

[theshadow]

What happened with that slam?

Babcock had Lawrence's right arm trapped on a mat return -- landed on his right shoulder and the side of his head, and it looked like Lawrence hit before any of Babcock's supporting points.

Stickenberger had a bad weekend. Wonder if it was the cut or illness. He had one of the last matches vs UNI which should of helped with the cut

 

[MeadForMyHorses]

It’s officially Tailgate Season!!

 

[JM4CY]

Panther hunting season is open!!

 

[buf87]

Poulin going to need to be ready against Anderson
Other 2 big matches are Downey (165) and Simma (174)

He looked like maybe he had an illness the way he acted Friday night. The sickness is going around like crazy

Really wish this would have been earlier than 7PM.

 

[stuclone]

Really wish this would have been earlier than 7PM.

Everyone (including the coaching staff) wishes that. Unfortunately, wrestling didn’t get much say with ESPN wanting the women’s game to be at 1pm
