Iowa State v. Minnesota Discussion & Results Thread

[goferphan]

Let it all out here boys...its the day of the big battle. ISU got into town early yesterday (smart move) ahead of the ice and snow and its go time.

Minny gonna give ISU a lesson on the difference between young and talented versus mat savvy and experience. Ness will start things off with a roar as Marty Morgan and J. Rob give him the "win one for the Gipper speech" and the lightweights will keep it going all the way through C.P. Yes, these will all be battles and not just gimme's. Come on, we know this is ISU we are tangling with today.

Glasser will give Reader a battle at 165 but neither wrestler comes out of there with more than 3 points for their team.

174 goes back to the Gophers and gets momentum back to Minny.

184 Kish remembers the "off the mat" shenanigans from Varner at All-Star Classic and with a little help from Marty Morgan and pushes Varner for seven minutes. He comes out on top of this one and the bad blood builds for later this year.

Bertolino and Zabriskie finish things off for Iowa State but neither gets a pin.

Minny takes it without having to worry about Bertolino and Zabriskie pinning our 197 and Heavies because we out in front by more than 12 at that point.

Have a safe drive home and stay a couple of extra days in Minny if the roads are too dangerous. Lots of things to do at the Mall of America. Catch a Timberwolves game as there are lots of good seats available.

Good night now!

(All of this is in good fun so don't everyone get your panties in a bunch.)

gratuitous self bump...sure is quiet out there

I'm in the house. Just finished up putting guys in the right spots for our next rankings survey.

Would love if this had been a GoldZone event. But I'll be happy to follow with Livetext from Intermat.

Been saying so all week, 21-12 Gophers

except I don't think you are going to see "Floor'd the Barbarian" out there at heavy as he as already proven that he can be pinned. I think you will see Berhow out there for Minny today unless Nord just owns Berhow in the practice room which is NOT what I have heard.

157 and 184 are key. I have them split. Sweep either way is a win.
I have seen Gallick several times and his conditioning seemed suspect. All other ISU looked at peak. I expect Minny to be the same.

Anyone watching this on BTN that can give better results than just text updates?

[VACYCLONE]

Not here...gonna have to settle for text...
