General (non-ISU) Wrestling Twitter/News Thread
I haven't seen any indication that he isn't happy there. Time will tell, but this sounds like someone trying to create drama. After Keck and Carter age out, Angelo could have a shot at being a 4-timer. -

Cliff Keen Las Vegas 2024
Yes, unfortunately it's almost un-listenable at times. Sounds more like a coach being mic'd up in the corner of a match than a radio broadcaster. A big fan of Nate's on all other aspects. -

Carr vs. O'Toole video replay
It was a TD. 1st period .. Carr TD... ride out 2-0. 2nd period Carr Escape, O'Toole TD, Carr Escape, Carr TD 6-2. 3rd period... Carr rideout the whole period to get riding time. 7-2 Carr -

Pessimism appears to be where some people are most comfortable. Personally, I feel like Dresser and the current organization have shown that they are creating the stability and environment needed for a sustainable and successful program that should be promoting more optimism among the fan base... -

***Southern Scuffle (Jan. 1-2, Chattanooga)***
I like this idea on the surface. Would be interesting to see what angle a coach would take on this. Would it discourage competing at tournaments? Can't really apply it to duals, but I'm not sure if that matters. -

***Soldier Salute (Dec. 29-30, Coralville)***
I am assuming the proceeds go to support military veterans, which is obviously great. Northwestern screwed up falling into the pandemic panic as late as Dec 2021 when they cancelled a second time. That all being said, Midlands has been the best tournament in the Midwest and it only hurts the... -

***#7 Iowa State at #2 Iowa (Sunday, 1:30)***
We have won 4 matches. Hopefully Yonger can get us 5. Close loss by Swiderski. So, yeah, they aren't lying down for Iowa and this is their A team with Brands, Lee and Woods all competing. -

I believe he was there a couple years. Resigned from the job in 2020. -

Is John Smith
From what I have been reading, there has been claims of troubling behavior reported to Smith and they never got a response back. I believe the biggest question will be if that information was passed on to the appropriate authorities. If not, then he is definitely in trouble. -

***#5 Iowa State vs. Air Force (Saturday, noon)***
Great comeback by Terukina. He just kept coming after being down by 4. Big takedown with a second to go for the win. -

WrestleStat Rankings | Week 6 2022
I am curious what it is in the formula for the rankings that causes this to happen. Undefeated National Champion at that weight from the year before, better record in the past 3 years, beat OConnor this season. Is it bonus points scored that is impacting the ranking? -

Cy-Hawk Dual
I agree with this. If a fan's expectation this weekend is to beat the #1 team in the country, then you are setting yourself up for a disappointment even if Iowa needs to send out a bunch of backups. The reality is that team is stacked with a lot of depth due to the extra Covid eligibility and... -

WrestleStat Rankings | Week 2 2022
As time goes on these rankings improve with data, but if nothing else it is fun to see and a good way to compare wrestlers opponents and wins/losses. I appreciate your efforts Andegre. -

Factor in the grey shirts and that certainly appears like a very solid lineup for the future. Congrats to the coaches. -

Willie's NCAA's Crystal Ball Projections
I agree. If he could have beaten Parker, I would have thought he would have moved up in weight sooner and possibly still be in Ames. -

Transfer Portal in wrestling
I think he tends to be more accurate than given credit and is getting the scoop faster than Flo or Rok, but I agree I take any internet news with a touch of skepticism. -

Transfer Portal in wrestling
Pat Mineo reported they couldn't work out the Big 10 credit transfers to make it work out, so Cal Poly is the likely destination. -

Transfer Portal in wrestling
Many sides to "truth" based on perspective. Sure, I have had a lot of moments of disappointment with results and situations for about as long as I can recall being an ISU alumni and fan for the past 3 decades, but there have been a lot of great moments as well. I certainly had higher hopes... -

Nov 17th Dual vs Bucknell
I share the same opinion. I think Carr will have the better career and I would pick him to win later in the season. I don't think it's unrealistic to believe that Young has the advantage at this point. He is a legitimate title contender and we haven't seen Carr wrestle in the starter role yet. -

Southern Scuffle 2019
I just watched that match and I don't see how you possibly call that stalling in that situation. Mackall appeared to be the aggressor and had been using pressure on the opponent to attempt to create offense the entire match. I don't usually like to rag on a referee, but there were several times...
