Now it's time for the other Iowa-OSU showdown of the day. I talked all about this meet yesterday; scroll down if you want a refresher course. Now it's time to get out there and take care of business: get a win, get the record, and send a message to the rest of the sport. Go Hawks.
If you live in Iowa, the meet is on Iowa Public Television at 7pm CT. If you live elsewhere, the meet is being televised by video.BTN.com/Hawkeye All Access ($$$).
The standard open thread rules apply: no links to illegal online streams, no porn, no politics, no religion, no slurs, no douchebaggery.

Simul-following my brother's finals match and Iowa

Best of luck to little bro
The finals are a huge accomplishment. And Iowa always needs help at the upper weights if he can be that good…
I spent half my life's earnings on wine, women & song. The other half I wasted.

You should have left BHGP on the big screen in case someone posts naked molerat.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
THAT is PRECISELY the reason BHGP should NOT be on the big screen.

Domino's new recipe, as far as I can tell:
Step 1: Make the same stuff we made before.
Step 2: Dunk it all in a giant vat of garlic and butter.
Step 3: Call it new and improved.

I've more than seen it, I've lived it.
I won a college match (DIII) on cautions in double OT. That was when the whole OT was sudden victory. It was more weird than anything because it took both me and my opponent a second to realize that the match was over. Then I was like ‘fucking right’, because it put me in the tourney finals. It was a pretty anti-climactic way to win an intense match.

Apparently much more complex
Tie-Breaker System for Dual Meets
In dual-meet competition, if the teams have identical scores, the following tie-breaking system shall be used to determine the winner:
a. The team whose opposing wrestlers or team has been penalized the greater number of team points for flagrant or unsportsmanlike conduct shall be declared the winner.
The team whose opposing wrestlers or team personnel have been penalized the greater number of team point deductions shall be declared the winner.c. The team whose opposing wrestlers were penalized the greater number of match points for unsportsmanlike conduct during a match shall be declared the winner.
d. The team having won the greater number of matches (including forfeits) shall be declared the winner.
e. The team having accumulated the greater number of points for falls, defaults, forfeits, or disqualifications shall be declared the winner.
f. The team having the greater number of points for technical falls shall be declared the winner.
g. The team having the greater number of points for major decisions shall be declared the winner.
h. The team having the greater number (total match points) of first point(s) shall be declared the winner.
The team having the greater number of points for near-falls shall be declared the winner.j. The team having the greater number of takedowns shall be declared the winner.
k. The team having the greater number of reversals shall be declared the winner.
l. The team having the greater number of escapes shall be declared the winner.
m. The team whose opponent has been penalized more often for stalling will be declared the winner.
n. The team whose opponent has been warned more often for stalling will be declared the winner.
o. The team whose opponent has the greater number of points for all other infractions (i.e. false starts)
If none of the above resolve the tie, a flip of a disk will determine the winner.
Upon determining the winning team by use of the tiebreaking system, a single team point shall be added to the prevailing team. The method of recording the score in breaking team ties shall be the score followed by the letter of the criterion that broke the tie.
that's detailed. Let's just assume the Hawks lose on a tie and go for the straight win.

I don't think we know enough about this situation to label him "stupid."
Minnesota just had a kid retire because of concussions.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I heard that he's weighing in at 187 right now.
And that Brands has said that 184 is still in the mix for him. It’s early in the season and although it would have been very nice to win last night, Brands still coaches for the postseason and looks at duals as training/proving ground.
Either way we’re going to have a hole at one of the weights, my guess is that hole will be at 197 by the time the postseason rolls around.
My theory is that maybe he enjoys the slightly slower pace of 197 while he’s still getting over the concussion. I was also told that he has beaten several of the top guys currently at 197 while in high school so maybe he thought he would have an easier go of it at 197. He’s learning a lesson though, weight makes a big difference.
Also, I don’t believe he is working with Doyle currently. The wrestling team has leaned on Doyle a few times in the past. If Gambrall really wants to stay at 197 (and it sounds like it’s entirely his choice as of right now) we may see them utilize Doyle.

Mexican't I need to thank you for introducing me to Portman Kunis United through here

If I had to guess, the prediction relies entirely on SF being able to avoid shootouts.

Yeah.
Silva’s been undefeated for, what, six years?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Yeah. Last loss was the DQ against Okami in '06.
Insane.

And that loss is about as legit as the loss on Bones Jones' record.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Yeah.
Before that was the flying heel hook in ‘04 to Ryo Chonan. So his last legitimate loss was roughly 8 years ago. I can’t imagine feeling that dominant for so long. What would make anyone want to keep going after 8 years of total control?

I'm sure he's made a lot of money.
I think it’s just one of those things where he craves the competition. Same reason why guys like Jordan, Favre, etc. kept playing for so long.

I have it on DVD,
have only watched it once or twice.
I actually feel bad that I have quite a few DVDs and I never watch them. And my DVR is almost full.
I wish I were like other people I know and could just take the occasional day off (or week off, in the case of my cousin the police officer who gets crazy comp-time). And just watch the TV.

Probably not new to you...
..but being still sore from the OSU Craptastic Letdown Super Tour that just swung through CHA, I just received this video from my aunt. Best video I’ve ever seen with the line, “So I hear you think you know something about Iowa? Fuck you.” Lifted my spirits a bit.

Hopefully I’m not beating a dead horse by posting this, just got it and it gave me a chuckle.

Much appreciated all.
BTW, my initials are NAG, and I declared if we had a boy I’d want him to have the same initials. I tried for Nile, no shit, but the wife wouldn’t go for it (she doesn’t understand, she’s from Ohio and went to Denison). Turns out we had a boy and we settled for Nolan Aubrey. He might not be a Nile, but he sure as hell is a Hawkeye.

This is probably the most "meh" championship fight that I've ever seen.
Two guys that basically lucked into their title shots.
Man, that ref let Jardine take a LOT of abuse.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Seriously, WTF was that ref thinking?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
The overhead shot made the convulsions look like Jardine trying to get up.
Herb just had a terrible view, which is his fault, and probably wasn’t sure how bad it was.
by The Mexican't on Jan 7, 2012 11:04 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah
He wasn’t defending himself at all, though
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
He took a unnecessary beating.
Dean really should’ve been on the other side, or closer so that he had a better understanding of how hurt Jardine was.

Did you see CM Punk is walking out with Sonnen at this next match?

So apparently "The Devil Inside" has a REALLY shitty ending.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
actually I have heard from numerous people that it is the worst horror movie ever made.
besides the human centipede for completely different reasons.

I just heard some people talking about it on Twitter, so I went and googled it.
That sounds really awful.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I would recommend listening to Daniel Tosh's spoiler alert for Human Centipede
That movie was bad, but not as awful as I expected. The sequel was about 10 times worse than I had expected for either it or the original. I would have stopped watching after about 20 minutes, but I paid to rent it. Out of principle, I had to make myself watch all of it.
The director has promised to make the third even more disgusting.
How he plans to top barbed wire masturbation is beyond me.

Actually, if you want to watch a fucked up, no hope for humanity movie, check out (or probably download [doubt you can rent it]) A Serbian Film.
It is easily the most messed up movie you can ever watch. It makes Human Centipede look like child’s play.

I meant that I heard people talking about The Devil Inside on Twitter, though.
