The match was over.  It was like 6-1 and there were two seconds left.  Lizak wasn't trying to do anything because time was expiring and DeSanto decided to go full spaz as time expired.  DeSanto completely out classed Lizak in the match.  It would have served him far better to simply take the 6-1 win (or whatever it was) without the spazoid face mush in the final second for no reason.  The idea of winning with grace seems to be lost on the kid.  

I was just thinking it would be nice if Iowa had somebody who WASN'T a dork...on the mat OR in the stands!!

I don't like DeSanto's antics at all, and I can't believe Brands hasn't reeled his behavior in yet. I think it reflects more badly on Tom Brands than it does Austin DeSanto.  DeSanto is a young, stupid, excitable kid. Tom Brands is about 50 and should know his wrestlers need to comport themselves better.
Full disclosure: I ADMIRE DeSanto's effort on the mat. Balls out, 100% energy all the time. He's a punk who needs adult guidance badly, though.

He only does that when he’s getting his ass kicked 

I think the unsportsmanlike call came from a face mush right after the whistle, which got the crowd to start booing him, so he carried on...
Some people strive win and lose with grace. Other people are DeSanto. At least he's consistent. 
 

It makes me feel like Fix will win by two.

Apple Valley might have more champs than New Jersey.

Depends on who I was wrestling. 

Conceding Cael as an essential part of PSU's success is like saying water is wet.
If Cael left PSU for Maryland, Oklahoma, or Sacrid Heart they would be contending for National titles within a few seasons.

An NCAA investigation?

Merge two teams together.  Works every time.  

They both also whine to refs more than any other coaches.  Could be sending a negative message to their athletes.

1992 was my last weigh-in

Fix it by giving the ref a paintball gun. Non lethal and harmless, but would allow the ref to get his point across.

Hot off the presses:
The University of Iowa has "officially" elected to replace the pseudo-famous Herky the Hawk mascot after nearly 70 years of history with the school. The new mascot, Doofy the Duck, is set to take over for Herky in 2019 and will be represented on the new team singlets at the prestigious Midlands Open hosted by Northwestern.  Despite the tradition that Herky has brought to the school for nearly a century, the community as a whole feels that the new mascot is a better representation of the current nature of the wrestling program. 

New rule: All top 10 recruits must first pass through PSU’s last minute evaluation before honoring any early commitment to another school.

I think he’s moved on to Fat Joe now.
Just need to find Big Pun and the rest of the Terror Squad   
 

I could see "end of era" posts, but for a guy who placed once as 7th? Usually we save these "end of era" postings for when a really dominant dude fails, like David Taylor or J'Den Cox.

Add Vincenzo Joseph to the list. Hes ducking his opponent from Bucknell tonight!
