Michigan & Missori Duals this weekend
- Thread starter oberebo
- Start date
Surber beats number 1 Elam 5 to 4. Great match. Maybe we can win this dual.
As an Iowa fan, this dual has been so entertaining. Lots of action and crazy scrambles. I wish our meet vs Penn State had been like this
Big Ten doesn’t like tough wrestling. 😉
Fix needed to win by 9. Wins by more than that. Pokes win!!!!!
Daton wins by major and enough points to get us the win by criteria.
Don't mean to start a fight but he loses these matches against good opponents by a point or 2 a lot. It is not my job to teach him but if he is going to be a real good wrestler he needs to get 1 more takedown a match.
Surber is stud of the day. Fix seals the deal. Carter and G both beat top 8 ranked wrestlers. Trajectory is headed in the right direction.
That guy he was wrestling today used to beat Boo Lewallen if I’m not mistaken.
Seems like some of these kids are really starting to improve.
Would like having National at Jerry world would be a great place to have it
Great dual, everyone wrestled tough in every match.
I'm not sure how it's scientifically possible, but someone needs to talk with the Elam boys mama because it's pretty clear Surber is their daddy.

Mauler used to handle Boo with ease. One of the best counter guys out there
It’s looking like it could be more fun than what most thought a few weeks ago. Still 3-4 near locks for the Hawkeyes and 1 for the Cowboys.
The RS freshman is looking great in my opinion and I believe it's just a matter of time before he puts it all together.
I’m with you. Nobody know for certain, but he looks like he’s got what it takes.
John has them believing and confident. Just have to stay healthy now.
Mauller is huge for 149, he looked much bigger than VV.
Who thought 2 weeks ago as we started this 4 match series of ranked teams (3 on the road) that we would finish 3-1?
125: good to see some spark at the weight. Don’t know if this is a long term solution (hope it is)…happy for Reece and glad he’s stuck around. Swings for the fences and could cause some problems.
133: what more can you say
141: the corner is being turned. Complete match today. AA is in sight.
149: Progressing and will get it all figured out.
157: AA or bust. Step in the right direction today.
165: Tough assignment today - man O’Toole is good. Wyatt seems to be letting it all hang out.
174: Bad day. Needs to learn to be a killer.
184: Nice to see the adjustments mid-match. Still dangerous and fun to watch.
197: If you are looking for the next Mark Branch story, this seems to be it. Surber was not going to be taken down. Hard to believe this guy has beaten both Elam Bros. AA should be in sight, maybe more. Bautista should be #1 at this weight.
285: Elam looks phenomenal, bad matchup.

It was the same way with Boo Lewallen. The size and length gave/give both trouble. Glad Mauller will be moving along & no problem with VV’s effort today.
Man, that was probably the best most entertaining dual I’ve seen us wrestle since ‘18 or ‘19 Iowa when Picc pinned Lee. I would say that was our best effort as a whole I’ve seen in a long while. Only thing that was missing was more from Plott. That was a little disappointing.
Carter Young has figured something out and now is beating higher ranked opponents. Victor Voinovich does need to get a little better soon if he is going to have a chance to All American this year. Most real good wrestlers All American as redshirt freshman. Victor is wrestling solid. Losing to Brock Mauller is certainly understandable who is ranked 6th in the latest Flo rankings at 149. He has lost to Paniro Johnson rated 9th, Realbuto rated 13th, Blockhus rated 18th, Kellyn March rated 19th, and Mitch Moore rated 22nd. Flo has Voinovich rated 28th. All of them close matches. I don't see anybody in the rankings that he has beat. All I was saying was he needs to make some jump in the next month or he will not come close to being an All American. Carter has jumped a level, and Surber has jumped a level this year. We need more of this. Beating Missouri was a big win for us. According to flo there are 6 freshmen rated ahead of Victor.
Friends of mine attended the match. Said it was really loud, reminded them of the old days when the place rocked your socks off. Just need to get and keep the house full for all winter sports. I know this is the wrestling forum but we need to get GIA full house Rowdy for Boynton and company making the run to March madness.
Go Pokes

Hopefully Mesenbrink was watching.
Got pretty loud a couple of times. Best match and atmosphere in some time.
I think we won on the 4th criteria; "Total near fall points...". I believe is was two to zero; Whitlake and Fix.
Plott looked like he was moving in slow motion. I don't remember him looking that slow before.
When Surber got the pin it was good old Gallagher Hall Loud!! I haven't heard that in a while.

Most publications have said it was 3rd criteria, total match points (45 to 43). I went and checked and that adds up correctly.
