Do You Realize How Close we came to winning a National Title.
Iowa beat us by 12 points (13 if you count Metcalf's Shove).
If Big Z beats the Iowa HWT (Big Z is 10 time better). That is a change of 9 points. So now, we have a difference of 4 points (M Shove).
Damn, if Reader Beats Kiing in the Semi (he gets 7 pts , give back the 3.5 for his consolation win) ISU picks up 3.5 more points, just for being in the Semi's.
Ok, we are still 0.5 pts short, so 1 more early match does it. Ward or Sanderson or Fanthorpe.
Point is: this team is very close to winning it all. Some will say that Iowa did not wrestle very well and still won, but Iowa didn't wrestle very well at the Big 10's either.
