***#14 Iowa State: Battle in the River City (Sat., Nov. 5)***
- Thread starter theshadow
- Start date
I’ll say it, **** it: This team can beat Iowa.
If Lee doesn’t wrestle, there’s a chance (although still very unlikely). We’d be favorites at 125, 165, 184. They’d be favorites at 141, 149, hwt. Then toss ups at 133, 157, 174, 197. They’d likely get bonus at hwt, so we’d need to win 3 of the toss ups or flip 141 or 149 to win. Still a tall task to do that in carver, but will be a fun dual to watch regardless
Reminds me of the picture of Jon Reader winning a NT and his head is all wrapped.
Man that is super exciting for the group. I'm pumped for them. I don't expect to beat Iowa at all, but man it'd be nice to finish a lot higher in the NCAA's this year.
Man I really wish Cam would bump up to 157. Should have beaten Paniro in the wrestle offs and he's wrestling so well right now! He was actually listed at 157 all summer on the roster but I know those arent worth crap to go by.
I think he tried last year & didn’t have the best of luck
We are favored at 197 until proven otherwise. I also don’t think Teske can beat Redding.
I'm not trying to be argumentative but Paniro won the wrestle off and beat #2 Gomez. He deserved every bit of being "the guy" even if I'm using some hindsight after yesterday. Also, even though he fully earned the spot, maybe the staff saw some match up advantages for yesterday. Paniro was REALLY good at staying out of and getting out of Gomez's throw attempts. Heck, maybe Cam gets thrown in the first 30 seconds where Paniro BARELY held him off.
Edit: Sorry, I see you said bump to 157 and not 149 after I reread it. My bad. Jumped the gun there.

So, just for fun, that would leave us with:
Favored @ 125, 133, 165, 184, and 197
Underdog @ 141, 149, and Hwt
Tossups @ 157, 174
That seems extremely optimistic, but it would definitely mean we at least keep it close. Can't wait.
I don’t care what anyone says, the Brands are dumb enough to wrestle Lee even if he’s not 100% if they are worried about losing. I won’t believe he’s not going until the day of. Regardless of whatever they say. They probably won’t let him go but counting on those two dipshits to use logic is a bad game plan.
He wrestled the Last Chance Open & Edinboro Open at 157 last year and lost a couple matches to some unranked guys
Consider Willie impressed from the Iowa State effort yesterday. Guessing we see a big bump in rankings for several of our lightweights and Sam
Ya I understand what you are saying it just looks like he's made a jump this year and that he would be better than our 2 current options at 157 but who knows!
