Iowa's NCAA record dual meet unbeaten streak may be dead, but the season is far from over. Iowa heads to Nebraska this evening and as I noted in my preview, it would be a mistake to assume that Iowa will get a new streak started without any fuss against the Cornhuskers. They're a quality opponent with several good wrestlers; Iowa will need to perform at a high level in order to get a win tonight.
The only truly live coverage of the meet is via radio -- KXIC 800 (free) if you can get it in Iowa, Hawkeye All Access (online, $$$) for everyone else. BTN is also airing the dual tape delayed at 9pm CT.
Standard open thread rules apply: no links to illegal online streams, no porn, no politics, no religion, no slurs, no douchebaggery.

Bobby's in a funk.
Although he’s also faced some good wrestlers these last 3 matches — all three are (or would be) top 10 guys.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
We at 3-3 now?

McD gets a pin

RossWB - January 13, 2012
So far as expected.
BStylin Hawkye - January 13, 2012 via iPhone app
I think I might have had the results flipped at 197 and HWT
Not sure
RossWB - January 13, 2012
on my prediction, rather
RossWB - January 13, 2012
You had both winning actually
BStylin Hawkye - January 13, 2012 via iPhone app
Ah, well how do you like that
I had more faith in Gambrall than I thought, I guess.

Big match for Montell up now.
Then maybe intermission?
RossWB - January 13, 2012
YOUR AN INTERMISSION
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
YOUR A SUBMISSION
RossWB - January 13, 2012
KXIC has made me tap out.
They hate digital listeners. Can’t even access the feed in a radio app. Two words: Strait bullshit, assholes.
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
They want yo' money.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
That's five words, or carrot, I don't know numbers
Blackheartnopants - January 13, 2012 via Android app
I'm not sure I would like being an intermission
But I’d had to give it more thought
rupertj - January 13, 2012
Montell down 2-0
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Nice, Marion gets a reversal right at the end
tied 2-2 after 1
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Lots of delays because the Nebraska guy is apparently bleeding like a goddamn faucet
Out of his nose out of a cut above his eye
RossWB - January 13, 2012
it is a Red Out after all
odiE- - January 13, 2012
Well played
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Marion got a TD in a scramble, then gave up ESC
up 5-3
RossWB - January 13, 2012
The Wizards really, really, really bad at basketball.
RossWB - January 13, 2012

ESC NEB, Marion up 5-4
RossWB - January 13, 2012
TD Marion, up 7-4
just under 1 min
RossWB - January 13, 2012
SW on Marion and ESC, 7-6 now
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Ironside does not like the SW call
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Neither does eustace.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
It came pretty much immediately after the TD, it sounded like.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
He was not happy with that lol
But it sounds like it was given as Marion was pushing him away for an escape, if I hear correctly.
kythom - January 13, 2012
yeah, that's what it sounded like
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Eustice thought MM was picking him up
nhradar - January 13, 2012
TD Marion
wins 9-6
Iowa up 15-3
RossWB - January 13, 2012
INTERMISSION
These stock photos are awesome.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Soooooo creepy.
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
The first one is just perfect
ManziBall - January 13, 2012
I now want to write the stories that accompany these photos.
Alternatively, I would like to find an attractive female who would let me cover her in coldcuts.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Shoot for the stars!
Go for both!
ClaybornSmash - January 13, 2012
Dare to dream...
RossWB - January 13, 2012
You just want an excuse to say "Lady, lick that meat"
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
That's not a bad thing.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I now need everybody to declare their favorite.
Count me in as a 30
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
I was scrolling down looking at that one and was like, Whaaa
Oh.
kythom - January 13, 2012
I think 37 is my fave
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Got to go with 35
ManziBall - January 13, 2012
24
It’s the only one that made me double back after scrolling past it.
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
I thought it was the McPoyle sister from ALWAYS SUNNY at first.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Her tongue thing was freaky.
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
I think 24 was my second choice
ManziBall - January 13, 2012
Am I an evil person if I say 58?
kythom - January 13, 2012
If you are, then I am too 'cause that one made me laugh
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Joba Chamberlain is there, apparently
boooo
RossWB - January 13, 2012
(he went to Nebraska)
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Aaaand we're back!
Time for Kelly to get a win.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Kelly down 2-0
RossWB - January 13, 2012
esc, down 2-1
RossWB - January 13, 2012
esc at the start of the 2nd, tied 2-2
RossWB - January 13, 2012
TD, 4-2 Kelly
RossWB - January 13, 2012
SW on Wilbourn, 5-2 for Kelly
RossWB - January 13, 2012
and another 6-2, plus RT
nhradar - January 13, 2012
escape at the end, 7-3 final, Kelly wins.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
So was he close to a major or was it really not in play?
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
He would have needed to cut him and go for a few takedowns
I dunno. It was hard enough for him to get one TD. He did a nice job riding
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Not in play. Kelly rode him for almost all of the third period
and it didn’t sound like he was close to any predicaments.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
Kelly wins 7-3
nice job
RossWB - January 13, 2012
good win for Kelly
how do you stall when your down 4-2? makes no sense to me
justsomehawkeyefan - January 13, 2012
This ref is really aggressive
So it could just have been a guy on the bottom who didn’t know how to improve his position.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
And, IIRC, kelly's nasty on top.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
lawl
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Saw this
So awesome. Hope he’s tweeting when he gets so drunk he tries to play catch with a possum.
Blackheartnopants - January 13, 2012 via Android app
Yep. That shit'll make you tackle possums
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
I've never been able to try moonshine.
The only time I’ve had booze out of a large glass jug was when our tailgate neighbors shared their apple pie the last time Iowa played at Soldier. That was an amazing day.
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
Except for the football.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I was too drunk to care about the football.
I walked away as the overconfident Hawkeye fan. I don’t think I made it to the tunnel before I started trading words with an NIU fan.
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
Surprised you found an NIU fan
That place was 75% Iowa fans that day.
I never want to hear “THAT’S ANOTHER HUSKIE FIRST DOWN!” ever again, though.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Could have been worse
You could have been at the Yale-Valpo game in 97. Like I was.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
hmm?
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Football worse than that Iowa game at soldier field.
the 97 yale team was 1-9. The student weekly’s headline: “Worst Yale team ever”?
nhradar - January 13, 2012
Yale had Heisman candidates as late as 1981. Crazy!
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
Yeah, the lack of schollies didn't really hit hard until the mid-80s
Then, with the modernization of football, the delta between the ivy league and everyone else grew rapidly. God Bless the Patriot League.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
This line of discussion made me look up FCS Heisman candidates
Steve McNair was the last one in 1994, finishing 3rd behind Rashaan Salaam and Ki-Jana Carter. And then it made me think of McNair’s weird end to his life.
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
oooh
That Iowa game was just boring. They definitely weren’t a worst ever type of team.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Yeah. Yale won that game.
That’s how bad it was.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
I have a friend that makes his own out of milk jugs, clown balloons, and a homemade 1-gal still
That stuff is 190 proof and tastes like 290. It’s like drinking sriracha
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
I tried sriracha for the first time this afternoon.
I wasn’t prepared.
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
It's one of mankind's greatest creations.
Bucketochicken - January 13, 2012
It's surprisingly 100% American.
All the Vietnamese lettering and symbology is because the creator is first-generation. Truly the American success story.
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
Come visit me.
Pretty sure the local po-po have their own stills.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
"Here. Drink this."
So much fun. So many hallucinations.
Blackheartnopants - January 13, 2012 via Android app
I hope he's not still in MN
If he goes outside, he may pass out and freeze to death
RossWB - January 13, 2012
He should consider taking it on a boat in the middle of a lake
That way nobody hears about his deviances.
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
Thanks for the updates, Ross.
I am without sound on my computer while traveling. This is much appreciated.
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012

RossWB - January 13, 2012
Making you look like a Pessimist.
keep it coming, Hawks.
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
A little bit, yeah
I’m happy they’re wrestling well, though.
These results are essentially what I predicted, only with swapped results at HWT and 141. The next four matches are going to be tough for Iowa, minus maybe 174
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Yeah, just realized that we're hitting your pessimistic section
I like EL and I think I like Evans to get it as well.
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
I want to thank somebody on BHGP for introducing me to Gold Rush
It is like watching a horrific car accident in extremely slow motion
ManziBall - January 13, 2012
Moore down 4-1 I think
he’s struggling some
RossWB - January 13, 2012
7-1
nhradar - January 13, 2012
Is he not wrestling Welch?
kythom - January 13, 2012
Green
nhradar - January 13, 2012
Thats what it sounds like. Is Welch hurt?
And whats the story with Green, if anyone knows. Grade, record, etc.
kythom - January 13, 2012
I'm confused
Isn’t welch NW?
nhradar - January 13, 2012
Apologies
I was following along on Ross’s preview thread and scrolled down too far
kythom - January 13, 2012
confused
Welch is the jNW kid at 157. DSJ is Iowa’s regular starter at 157. He was hurt back at the UNI dual. Should be back shortly.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Green is a true frosh w/ a 20-3 record
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Moore?
I dunno. I’ve heard DSJ won’t be back ’til the OSU dual next week
RossWB - January 13, 2012
And we have our second bleedy of the meet
nhradar - January 13, 2012
Moore needs something big here
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Moore down 7-1 heading to the 3rd
Green also has RT
RossWB - January 13, 2012
ESC Moore
he needs to get on his horse and get some TDs
RossWB - January 13, 2012
comes close, but fails w/ an outside trip
Green gets away
Ironside is not happy
RossWB - January 13, 2012
7-4, MOAR BLOOD TIME
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Did Moore get a TD?
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
erases RT
gets another TD
9-6
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Moore walks into another TD
Ironside is beside himself
RossWB - January 13, 2012
down 11-7
RossWB - January 13, 2012
157: Green DEC (12-7) Moore
Iowa 18-6
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Sounds like Green was way gassed at the end
But every time I listen to Ironside, I can’t help but think of the Grey Ghost’s attempt at doing commentary in Everybody’s All-American. “why doesn’t he just hit that hole? Why is he running so slowly?”
nhradar - January 13, 2012
heh
It’s hard for the greats to watch… not greatness.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I miss DSJ
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I have not been impressed with the 157ers Moore has been losing to
It sounds like he practically gives them points by allowing way too easy takedowns far too often. I don’t worry much about DSJ doing that.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Yeah.
But remember Midlands last year? I think Moore might be able to step it up if he gets the chance.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
Yeah, St. John was rough there.
I don’t know what sort of injury/weight cut issues he was dealing with.
Moore might be fine w/ more time but I’ll be happy to see DSJ back out there.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Agreed.
I just think Moore’s adjusting to being on the A-team, so if DSJ winds up in trouble, I have hope.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
Hope so
RossWB - January 13, 2012
He even made it hard on David Taylor
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
Evans in on a TD off the whistle, but Kokesh is doing the splits to avoid it
ouch
RossWB - January 13, 2012
they just announced the attendance
3000 and some change. This place is sad.
NileKinnickIronman - January 13, 2012 via mobile
That's a pretty good crowd for a non-CHA meet, sadly
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I think that's a sellout actually
ClaybornSmash - January 13, 2012
it is.
That is what is sad about it.
NileKinnickIronman - January 13, 2012 via mobile
It was.
I drove down from Omaha and couldn’t get in. They were turning people away.
telepathetic - January 14, 2012
Evans gets a TD, then gives up reversal
tied 2-2
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Evans gets 2 on either another reversal or a TD
unclear
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Evans up 4-1 after 1
RossWB - January 13, 2012
4-2, now 4-3, acc eustice
nhradar - January 13, 2012
4-1? what happened to the point he had?
justsomehawkeyefan - January 13, 2012
it was 4-2, I misspoke
RossWB - January 13, 2012
now 4-3 after a Kokesh ESC
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Ironside is freaking out at a potentially dangerous call
RossWB - January 13, 2012
6-3 Evans now
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Sounds like he's doing great on his feet
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
Was also great on the mat in a cradle until the PD call
I wish I was interested in being awake in 2 hours.
nhradar - January 13, 2012
DVR?
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
I imagine it'll still be there in btn2go tomorrow morning
unless it resets at midnight.

I was thinking along the instant-gratification lines. :)
nhradar - January 13, 2012
Backpoints?

I lost track in all the hubbub over the PD call
RossWB - January 13, 2012

RossWB - January 13, 2012
Come on Evans!
This would be a very nice win.
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
7-3 Evans
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Victory!
nhradar - January 13, 2012
165: Evans DEC (7-3) Kokesh
Iowa up 21-6
Big, big win for Evans. Sounds like his best match so far this year.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
That should lock up the dual for Iowa if my math works
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Fear the new streak!
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
(it does)
even if EL and Vinnie get pinned, that would just make it 21-18
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Sounds like the Nebby fans not interested in the last two matches
nhradar - January 13, 2012
Haven't had much to get excited about
The guy at 184 is one of their best wrestlers, tho
RossWB - January 13, 2012
BOOM!
odiE- - January 13, 2012
i am now much less worried about the Nebraska duel
justsomehawkeyefan - January 13, 2012
In a place he wasn't strong: on his feet
That is a big win for him.
therealCatnuts - January 13, 2012
Yeah, sounds like he had some really nice shots
Good to hear
RossWB - January 13, 2012
C'mon, EL
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Finally gets a TD late in 1st
2-0 EL

I knew we never should have let KOK tutor him.
RossWB - January 13, 2012

Nice to see EL actually cutting people

Okay, time to actually watch the the action
rupertj - January 13, 2012

Its been a while since I've seen a red sweatervest

That might be the best way to watch GG matches right now.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Wow, nice job GG
Good work to hip out of that TD attempt and scramble into one of his own
RossWB - January 13, 2012
UNI beat WI and ISU beat VT, if anyone cares
rupertj - January 13, 2012
the latter surprises me more than the first
VT looked pretty tough at Midlands
Wisco is waaaaaay down this year. Iowa should maul them.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
These guys are both big guys, but not fat guys
Unlike many heavyweights.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Sweet mat UN-L. After 40 years, that's when you should replace it.

Lane's headgear looks like it was old when Tom Osborne was a young pup, too.

Maybe the football team needs to stop hoarding all the fucking money there.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Now that they're in the B1G

And women’s volleyball
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Is the problem that they don't know they have to
Or that they don’t care about much else (aside from baseball and volleyball)?
kythom - January 13, 2012
Dunno
But if Uncle Delany wants to cut me a check for $20M, I’ll gladly go pick out a new wardrobe.

Collegiate corn husking
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
I refuse to believe they can husk corn better than good Iowans can.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Try as they might. Iowa owns corn.
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Warren Buffet hates wrestling?
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Thought Bobby looked pretty good in that period.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Interesting, ISU has more dual wins than Iowa.
And way more Jamie Pollard also.
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Yeah, they do.
I think they got a lot in the old days.
Y’know, back when Oklahoma State was Oklahoma A&M and winning most of their national titles.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I knew it was the current conventional wisdom to not unseat their HC in favor of young Dan G
But I thought Iowa would have caught up on W’s since then. This season is evening things up. Decent win over VT tho
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
I think Iowa will catch them eventually.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
So fans wear football jerseys to football games and basketball jerseys to basketball games and baseball jerseys to baseball games
Can you imagine if fans wore wrestling singlets to wrestling meets?
RossWB - January 13, 2012
ew
rupertj - January 13, 2012
Or volleyabll matches
/thinks back to HS
kythom - January 13, 2012
Ha. That would provide more useless stock photos.
Unless inducing vomit was useful
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
If you get ingest poison it is!
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I am in favor of the cheerleaders doing this.

Ahem.... FIVE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
McD is abusing this poor kid
RossWB - January 13, 2012
125 lbs of asskicking. Awesome.
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
This is a fucking clinic
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Is his wing span 9 feet?
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Jay Bilas would go apeshit over his length

That's what Coach K said.
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
What about his upside?
Is it tremendous?
Brock Sampson - January 13, 2012
Superb
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Well, fair is fair
McD’s headger is beat to fuck, too. Maybe it’s a superstition thing – guys use the same headgear their whole careers?
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Wow
That was just complete domination
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Oh hey it's easy to tell Tom and Terry apart tonight
Tom in blue shirt, Terry in black shirt
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Tom must have ripped the buttons off his wihte shirt again
kythom - January 13, 2012
Nicely done, Ramos
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Rode him well to end the period too
RossWB - January 13, 2012
OSU.... too soon
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
I wish BTN would show a RT clock

Tom Brands' singlet in that USA wrestling ad is phenomenal.
Mid 90’s patriotism at its’ best.
One Night Stanzi - January 13, 2012 via Android app
America fuck yeah
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Ross will you be educating us wrestling noobs on the happenings of Olympic Trials in IC this year?
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
I might try, since April is pretty dead for anything else
I confess I don’t know as much about freestyle, though. Nor do I like it quite as much.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Well... I prefer my news from wannabe hack journalists, so thanks in advance.
Yea no head gear and other differences, I don’t know much at all except I love IC and America!! FUCK YEA
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
We're hack journalists, sir
No wannabe about it.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
True enough
/hack blogger
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
That was some good wrestling there, Marion
RossWB - January 13, 2012
St John is like the official cheerleader right now
RossWB - January 13, 2012
ah, crap. is this the bloody kid
rupertj - January 13, 2012
UN-L loves their women all Americans
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
all-american women sound okay to me
rupertj - January 13, 2012
Indeed. Just that they have prominent placing and seem out of place at wrestling dual.
This must be where volleyball and bball is played also
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
THERE WILL BE BLOOD
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Apparently they didn't pony up any cash for a new mat
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Walked past the dual on a work TV
Small Iowa high schools have better mats than that.
Blackheartnopants - January 13, 2012 via Android app
truth
kythom - January 13, 2012
OFF TOPIC
Does anyone follow Iowa HS basketball at all? I was surprised to see that IC West is #1. I figured it would be one of the teams with a big-time recruit like Linn-Marr or SC East.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I don't. But that is surprising. And still kind of early.
Montel Marion wrestles like I attended college: enough to get by
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
C's get degrees!
RossWB - January 13, 2012
WORD
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
These SWs kinda confuse me a little
RossWB - January 13, 2012
yeah
they were… odd
kythom - January 13, 2012
Nice job finishing off the match, Marion
RossWB - January 13, 2012
BARBASOL~!!!!!
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I saw the the Pancake Lady Barabsol ad the other night.
Memories…
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I was going to ask what color shirts NU fans wear to a game in Madison
Then I remembered no Nebraska fans would travel to watch basketball.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
What would Nile Kinnick do about AIRBHG?
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Give an eloquent speech that would make AIRBHG weep and reconsider his life choices.
That or stiffarm him into hell.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
challenge him to a debate?
rupertj - January 13, 2012
Reason with him
Invite him to join the mens glee club.
Failing that, drop kick him into Illinois.
Blackheartnopants - January 13, 2012 via Android app
Adrian Clayborn is kind of a weird fit in that UI commercial.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Yes! I've always thought it seemed really odd
rupertj - January 13, 2012
I like AC, but he's not really on par with Tennessee Williams, James Van Allen, Nile Kinnick, etc.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Yea. He is.
Unless you take into consideration his team’s 10 game losing streak this season… ooops, never mind.
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Damn, that was a slick takedown for WIlbourn
RossWB - January 13, 2012
College wrestling could use more of those to gain popularity
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Ouch. Elbow bending wierd
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Solid TD for Kelly there too.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
More suplexes!
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Some really nice riding from Kelly here
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Wha? The weak post loss two handed shiver?
That’s so Nebraska
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
U MAD, NEBRASKA?
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Kelly is a big 149er
with a mean-looking face.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Speared
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
that was not such a hot start
rupertj - January 13, 2012
Trainers/medical staff
clapping and cheering with blue gloves and red shirts makes me laugh
kythom - January 13, 2012
Nebraska guys bleed a lot.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
MOAR BLOOD!
not really
kythom - January 13, 2012
39 sets of brothers to wrestle for Iowa. Awesome
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
BUT BUT BUT what about lil red?
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
The girl leading that cheer has a really annoying voice
kythom - January 13, 2012
Yes.
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Green is a true frosh? Wow
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
The guy Marion wrestled is a true frosh, too.
They have some really good young talent.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Why is UN-L so bleedy?
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Blood timeouts are the new lung timeouts.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Its a conspiracy!
They punch themselves in the nose right before they come out on the mat
kythom - January 13, 2012
That or they do a lot of cocaine.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
BOTH
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Only members of the Iowa football team do that, Ross
Everyone knows that
kythom - January 13, 2012
Drug House'd
RossWB - January 13, 2012
stop bleeding
rupertj - January 13, 2012
UN-L coach is scared of Iowa
But loves sweatervests
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
He looks eerily like Tressel minus the glasses.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
isn't that backing off the mat exactly what the new rule is about?
rupertj - January 13, 2012
Yes.
They’re not enforcing that new rule so well.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Moore just gets caught with some easy shots sometimes.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Yea he was vulnerable a couple times
and got exploited
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Seems like he just loses focus a little at times.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
At 157 he will either learn. Or next man in
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Although he won the 2nd part of his match. Focus is such a crazy concept for these guys
Unbelievable to defend and attack simultaneously
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
yeah, very tough
I think the only way he’ll get better is w/ more matches against good competition, but it’s gonna be tough to move a healthy DSJ or Evans out of the lineup.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
More got a little sloppy there
kythom - January 13, 2012
*Moore
kythom - January 13, 2012
JROB
rupertj - January 13, 2012
This is making my groin hurt
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I missed all the good stuff because I was watching Ides of March.
Seeing Moore give up that takedown despite being in total control was a bummer and a half.
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
nice TD by Evans, but no good letting Kokesh get out the back door for a reversal
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Reversals for all!
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Wha? potentially dangerous???? NO FUCKING SHIT
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Oh, it was potentially dangerous?
Meh. Isn’t stepping on the mat with a Brands coached Hawkeye generally regarded as potentially dangerous?
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
That was horseshit.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
I'm guessing that was one Ironside was not happy with
rupertj - January 13, 2012
I liked the BTN announcers
“Yeah, you want that position to hurt less? go over on your back. That’s what wrestling is all about.” If the guy on the bottom knows the ref will bail him out, he just needs to stall a little bit. Crappy call.
nhradar - January 14, 2012
Wait, was there really a stalemate call with a cradle locked in?
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
Potentially dangerous
Lycurgus - January 13, 2012
These are the best shots I've ever seen from Evans
Really quick, nice variety
RossWB - January 13, 2012
LETS GO HAWKS
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Tom Brands says 'aw, fuck it.'
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Anyone think being done with the streak is good for this squad?
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
It's a weight off their shoulders
Which is probably a good thing for a team w/ so many freshmen
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Yeah.
And it gives them a chance to start a streak of their own and feel pride instead of pressure.
The Mexican't - January 13, 2012
And beat Cael Sanderson's squad
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
"HE'S FLEEING THE MAT"

I was going to come in here and scream HE'S FLEEING THE MAT
HE’S FLEEING THE MAT…but I was beat to the punch.
mikjones24 - January 13, 2012
Can you imagine if they were in Iowa City and that happened?
I can. And I love it.
kythom - January 13, 2012

Nebraska wrestling's slogan is: "Tough. Together."
rupertj - January 13, 2012
Is Mark Manning still the Nebby head coach?
He was at UNI before Penrith, IIRC.
WaterlooChazz - January 13, 2012
Yes. And he wears a tressel-like sweatervest
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Was this thing sold out?
Was it due to Iowa fans or was it Nebraska fans who actually wanted to see a talented wrestling team/troll Iowa?
mikjones24 - January 13, 2012
Unsure. But multiple references to the Iowa chants that came from the rafters
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
Yeah
But it was in a building the size of the Field House probably – capacity like 4000.
Seemed like a lot of Iowa fans there.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Based on the mat, this could be a local goodwill drop-off location.
BentNotBroken - January 13, 2012
they said "full capacity crowd" on the BTN broadcast
upon further review of Nebraska’s media guide, the NU Coliseum holds 4,030. I’d say close to 500 to 1000 were Iowa fans shoved up in underneath the rafters. Idk who bled more, the Husker wrestlers or our fans.
hawktalker - January 13, 2012
I think I've seen enough:
Iowa:
Nebraska: I’M BROKEN.

Vinnie tries his ass off, that'sf or sure.
He’s just not quite skilled enough against the top guys at 184.
RossWB - January 13, 2012
Held off talking to you all so I could watch the BTN replay "live"
Gotta say I’m pretty satisfied. Wish a few of our guys not named McDonough or Ramos would have that killer instinct late in their matches… but hey, beating a 10-0 squad in their barn, I’ll take it. Bring on jNW Sunday.
