@Bob Bigboy Bob, Iowa was favored to win 133 and got defaulted for 6, for a swing of 9...and Iowa's coach got dinged for 1. That's a 10 point swing that it should have been in Iowa's favorite. Penn State is great, but lets not skew the reality.
@Bob Bigboy So Heavyweight would swing 6 points in Penn's favor while 133 would swing 9 in Iowa's favor, Hall was favored to win....165 was a toss up....141 Murin was injured and could have kept it closer...Iowa had a team point deducted.....So many things. Yes, going into to it I knew it wasn't going to be a blowout, but I felt if both teams were completely healthy, Iowa would win by 6.
Your skewing reality dude. RBY was dominating and if Desanto didn’t get hurt he would’ve at least been exposed for 2 and 4. And How about 2 missed pins by the ref? that’s a 4 pt swing between Lee and Joseph
Brands is a tough guy and tells it like it is. He just stated that DeSanto quit on the team and could have completed that match. He might have been hurting a bit, but it's clear that he wasn't injured. It came down to him not wanting to be embarrassed and get teched in front of his home crowd. As Micic said, "maybe he isn't used to getting his butt kicked." He embarrassed Decatur last weekend but didn't want to be subjected to the same feeling. The kid needs to grow up. I am not hating on him because I wanted to wait on what his coach would say. It's clear that he put himself above the team.
Desanto chose injury default over getting decked...That cradle was locked up and Bravo Young was in phenomenal position for the fall..Kemerer was the MOW by far..Great performance!!
@@smoore8 his knee was hurting real bad when when 2 cradles were locked up tight otherwise it was a minor issue..How much pressure does a cradle put on your knees?
Desantos’ knee was hurt prior to the first cradle, had nothing to do with that one. He tried to wrestle but it was just to much. I’ve dealt with many knee injuries, don’t cry cop out unless you know what it’s like. It all depends what type of knee injury it is.
anyone else think that Desanto took a dive, watched that match 4 times now and he limps and then doesn't limp and then limps again. On both cradles , there was no pressure on the knee joint, he knew he was locked up and going to see lights. They say he's autistic and if that's the case, a small injury could have fucked up his thinking but he was doing well on that leg ~ ~ ~ except when RBY was cradling him up. Iowa fans should be happy they have a good team, just don't count on him when the chips are down.
Cassioppi was highly favored to win his match. However, Kemmerer was the underdog against National champ Hall. Yet Cassioppi got outstanding wrestler of the meet??? HUH?
@@stammeh22 We watched Mark Hall defeat Bo Jordan repeatedly. Bo Jordan was a much bigger than Hall. Hall can handle guys bigger than himself. Kemerer came to wrestle and he never stopped wrestling his own match. Kudos to him. Pa. born and bred. Part of the Pa. Iowa squad. Believe me, he will treat his next match with Mark Hall very seriously. He knows that last week's Hall would have given him a different match.
@@paulmalfara6071 i agree with most of what you said, but i'm confused as to what you mean when you say. "last week's hall would have given him a different match." are you just saying that anything can happen from match to match, or is there something i'm missing. also i don't think ryan slamball is saying hall is overmatched against bigger guys, just that when he has close matches it's against big, strong guys like bo jordan, zahid, myles amine, etc. the difference with zahid and kemerer is that they also move really well. both were elite lightweights in high school that grew into bigger bodies.
@@hoopsmccann639 Of course I'm saying that things happen differently week to week. Hall decked Labriola last week, in case you weren't paying attention. He looked really strong and impressive, much different from this week. Hall may be vulnerable to the Carver Hawkeye Arena magic, who knows? He has not performed well there, and this week wasn't a great match for him. I look forward to seeing him and Kemerer go at it again this year.
It would be nice!! Spence is a brain as well as a great wrestler. He's the type you want running your program, as well as the entirety of your Athletics. He'll be an AD somewhere one day and possibly Administrator, Dean or President.
I tried to give DeSanto the benefit of the doubt. But after watching that match a few times, it’s clear he took a dive rather than getting beat by a superior wrestler. I now believe Penn State will have 4 champs. 133,141,165,174. They will place at 149,184, hwt. (Maybe 197 too.) Penn State likely will win the national title again. DeSanto being a candy ass changes everything.
72kalvin....psu fan here, parents and brother alumni, anyhow you know Rby lost to desanto right? I think desanto panicked some, respect to both. Go psu
Your First Win Over The Cael Sanderson Machine In FIVE Years. Considering You Won The Match With A Pennsylvania Native, Almost A Relevant Program Again.
@@xxl6627 give credit where credit is due is all I'm saying. If you look at the high schools in Pennsylvania and the club wrestling coaches . Iowa Hawkeye alumni!
PSU is fine and Brands knows it/ Iowa did well, but Hall won't come up short again/ Shakur just needs to get healthier/ 149 & 157 will have some changes/ I'm thinking Spencer Lee slows down mentally at some point, but maybe not/ quiet as kept, a national champion will return to the Nittany Lions at some point/!
@@tdurling6028 second line said Iowa did well/ the teams are close up & down the lineup/ Iowa can win 133 & 16&/ PSU can win 174 & 197/ different venues will bring on different results/ ill admit I suspect PSU is gonna change 1 to 3 people in the lineup - that's it/
oj matthews I love how everyone discounts Kemerer. He owned hall. If y’all was so dominant he should have been ready home or away. Hall gets owned when no one is intimidated. Case in point Valencia took it to him every time. The only if spot is 184
Hahaha. Hall underestimated Kemerer. It wont happen again. They will meet at least one more time this year. Valencia didn't own Hall. Hall just couldn't beat him. Cant stand that ugly mother#^#%$^& Valencia. I will give him this, he is a good wrestler.
Your just a worthless troll. We got beat. Big deal. Iowa is very good. I wont take anything away from them. All Im saying is if we had a 149-157 pounder worth a shit then we would of won. Notice I didn't say 125. No one is beating Spencer Lee. He's awesome.
@@gabefisher1 how am I a troll? It was a home match at Hawkeye arena, that gives the upper hand. I'm not sour about it. If it was was in pa probly woulda swung the other way.
Crazy that PA takes so much pride in Pennsylvania and their wrestlers born and raised in PA, yet openly root against them and want them to lose if they don’t wrestle for Pennstate. They’ll berate them if they lose or be fake fans if they win.
@@bobklein1665 100% agreed. Not to mention the three uppers are from illinois. But being from Illinois the depth of illinois is nothing compared to Penn. Those three are blue chippers.
@@pocketssmith5933 I also wanted to say that Gable and brands like to recruit from Illinois another very tough wrestling state. Iowa will always come out with their great high school wrestlers.
@@bobklein1665 iowa high school wrestling is on way lower level than the two states we just mentioned. Nelson brands is the only home grown iowa wrestler in the mix and some would say hes third string

@Bob Bigboy Definitely! It was a great meet. Those two teams should wrestle each other every year.
@Bob Bigboy Tony is ranked 3rd in the country. I think he would keep it at 7, but you never know. Cassar is amazing when healthy.

Steeve Cantave
Exactly. The “pain”’only worsened when the cradle got locked up both times. DeSanto has been a poor winner and a poor loser.
Here is some advice, try not to whisper right in the Mic when Tom is speaking hahaha
No kidding. Idiot.
Desanto chose injury default over getting decked...That cradle was locked up and Bravo Young was in phenomenal position for the fall..Kemerer was the MOW by far..Great performance!!
I wonder about that too. The cradle was too much of a coincidence.
Ya. He’s still being developed mentally
Good kid
Yeah that looked like a cop out too, if he wasn’t hurt that’s some bs.

Love the honesty. This is the first press conference I've ever seen from him. He wasn't PC, speaking facts and holding nothing back. Huge respect
As a psu fan I love brands and got great respect for him.
Dropping truth bombs with DeSanto. Like it.
Agreed

Hall can't handle guys bigger than him at his weight. Happened the last two years at nationals too.
@@stammeh22 I wouldn't go that far. Hall is dangerous against anyone and was ranked #1 in the nation coming into the meet. Let's not exaggerate.

lol im new to wrestling but this dude seems like a psycho path, in a competitive sense.
john doe that’s because he is lmao. About as savage as it gets.
He's an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling bud.
john doe Umm Its Wrestling So Yes Its A Good Thing!!!!!
Patrick Huntoon obviously fool. That’s why I said “in a competitive sense” not just some general psycho.
what a legend, tom brands
It was an exciting dual! One of the best ive ever seen.
Did you watch iowa nebraska...that was better they wrestled their studs and matches were razor thin
Tom Brands pretty just said Spencer Lee will possibly be the next Iowa Wrestling Coach in Future
I hope so
It would be nice!! Spence is a brain as well as a great wrestler. He's the type you want running your program, as well as the entirety of your Athletics. He'll be an AD somewhere one day and possibly Administrator, Dean or President.
Love coach brands, he just tells it like how it is
Whisper commentary on Brand's commentary. 10/10
If I didn’t know who this guy was I would’ve assumed he coached wrestling. He’s got a wrestling coach voice
I tried to give DeSanto the benefit of the doubt. But after watching that match a few times, it’s clear he took a dive rather than getting beat by a superior wrestler.

197 !??
He has nothing.

I like him because he's nuts! Speaks his mind and doesn't care what people think.
This is a sweet ASMR video.

Can’t wait to win another national title and see what he has to say then
I had Hawkeyes winning by 2 on my pic 21-19 the score was 19-17 I was close with bottom line score.

Penn state fans just need to accept. You lost. It is what it is. Easy to puff your chest when you win. Then the excuses when you lose.
