Just read it. As I suspected, they crying that Fix was stalling and that he was intentionally trying to hurt Desanto.
When John was asked during his presser after the match if 165 would be determined by ranking match he declined to answer saying ask me again in 8 days.However, ranking match would be the only way to determine who gets the call at 165. IMO Joe is the better wrestler technically and should win but Chandler is the most exciting and the most likely to score an upset and so I am really torn by who I want to represent us at the Big 12. My head says Joe but frankly my heart says Chandler. I will respect John's decision and the outcome of the ranking match and naturally as Cowboys I will root for both.
It'll prob be ~8 days before Joe is consistently down to 65 & can access his he is, but also there are other ways beside ranking match. Also have to access who can score more points in the tournament while making 165.
It would be nice to have inside knowledge which obviously I don't have. It surprises me when Coach Smith says Jacoby is the 74, because it means Jacoby can beat both Joe Smith and Chandler Rogers. From watching matches I would not have thought that. It must be true which could mean Jacoby could do better at Nationals than any of us think.
I don't like a lot of the Iowa fans but I really don't like a lot of the Penn. St. fans. They came unto the Iowa forum and really talked crap. Coach Smith seems to be figuring out the changes we need to make to win again. I liked listening to his comments after this match. The Cowboy Wrestling Nation seems fired up based on this dual and current recruiting. This is what I have been talking about for years. Good wrestling doesn't excite the Nation while very good wrestling does.
the caps lock button is not your friend...
Someone also suggest that they should start their backup instead of Lee and also said that Perez (backup) could compete with Picc. Said backup is 0-6 and this guy thinks that he can compete with the guy who pinned the defecting national champ. To be fair though, everyone else on the board told him how stupid he was.
the rule is 1.5% per week to your allowable minimum. So from 169, in one week could weigh approximately 165.4. the next week could weigh approximately 162. So no way to drop to 157 at this point.
i think most of us go over there and visit-maybe not. But, in my opinion, lets leave their stuff there-we will be happier here in the long run.
