Storley = Mudflap?

Generally agree, ICAlumni, except I was very disappointed in Montell's sluggishness. Kelly and Telford both lost to better wrestlers. But unlike Ramos, neither pushed the pace, and conditioning was their only advantage. Telford didn't want anything to do with G after that lace-leg suplay (not...

Re Baldo: I'll believe it when I see it, but I wish him well.

Thanks, twade, for posting so much info that we don't have to find ourselves. Getting seeds for 165, 174, and 184 could make a big difference in getting points on the board early in the tourney.

Both unfortunate, borderline calls that were initiated in the heat of action. $#!+ happens. Can't put the match in the ref's hands.

I love how the only match clip they showed was DSJ pushing Taylor after the match. Not even Taylor dominating DSJ (which he did), but DSJ pushing him after the match. As in, "We got our butts kicked by poor sports." That was their message to the world. Cael on 133: "Their strategy was to try...

Agreed. But I do wish he'd learn some set-ups.

I have to admit I've been disappointed in all 3 of our 33-pounders. I thought that all 3 would be top-8 and that whoever emerged as the leader of the pack would be a shoo-in semi-finalist. So far none of them has put distance between himself and the others, and worse yet, none has cracked the...

Also no Johnson.

I think Clark is more likely to keep it to a decision at 133, but I also believe Ramos will be the guy at Big-10s and NCAAs, so there is a case to be made for starting him here to get the experience, even if it puts the dual meet win at risk. The dual is important but not as important as NCAAs...

Great to see JJ on the mat again; I thought maybe he'd transferred or quit the team.

Between the ears. Never got the complete story on why he missed Midlands, but from what I can piece together it involved him not being ready physically and mentally to compete...not close enough to weight, not fully committed, etc. He went and observed, and that must have helped him because he's...

I can see going with Clark to keep both him and Ramos motivated. Neither made their case at Midlands for owning the spot outright. But it seems like a 2-horse race for the remainder of this year; Moore did himself in by not wrestling Midlands.

We need him more at 149, but I suspect he'll be at 141 again, and ready to win an NCAA title immediately.

TOM gives undefeated wrestlers the benefit of the doubt. For example, Ruth from PSU beat #1 and #2 this week and moved up to...#2!...behind Reader, who is still undefeated. FYI, Ruth's lone loss this year was to Letts. Does everyone remember who beat Letts at Midlands?

I also heard that Nate had the flu, but apparently that was not the only reason he didn't go. No one seems to know (or is willing to give) the straight answer, but I'm hearing a lot of "not bought into the program," "mental issues," "weight issues." StJ had the flu as well, and he went. Nate...

Someone with more knowledge can chime in, but what I've heard: Nick Moore doing fine, wrestling well, was on the cusp of going to Midlands but has been beaten in open tourney(s) by Kelly, who got the nod instead. Am anxious to see him back in open competition. Kelly is clearly not yet AA...

It was one good shot--a slide by--followed by tough defense the rest of the match. McD didn't control the match or push the pace. By far McD's toughest opponent of the year. Everyone took a step backwards this week (except Clark, Janssen, and E Lofthouse). McD will use that to propel himself...

Hawkeyescott, I do agree with you about Precin.

I'm with ICAlumni on this one. The Hawks pooped their pants. No excuses.
