So it’s been a little dead on here so I thought I’d start a discussion. Here are my early picks for NCAA finalist and champs. 125 Megaludis over Garrett. I know Garrett has beaten Megaludis a couple times this year. But I just love the way NM wrestles. He’s such an attacker. I think he...

Gilman was solid but far from spectacular. I didn't think it was one of his better performances. I still see him as being a little limited offensively (although he can really horse that single leg in when he's extended) but he rides well, gets out and is tough as hell to score on. And he's just...

AKA's Bob Cook: Aaron Pico is greatest MMA prospect I've ever seen - MMA Fighting No college for pico. That sucks

FILA announces new Olympic and non-Olympic weight classes and rule changes 125 143 162 189 213 275 Not in love w/ the weights but no perfect way to do it losing a weight class. i do like all the other rule/format changes though. Step in the right direction.

I’m surprised no one else has put up predictions so I guess I’ll start. 125 Clark vs Megaludis- Probably the match I’m anticipating the most. Yeah we’ve seen Clark beat some high level guys but there is still some unknown there to see if he can do it consistently at least in my mind. He...

Obviously the head line is Retherford beating Steiber, which is incredible, but i watched that dual and as much as i hate to say it PSU is amazing. They are fun to watch. every single one of their guys just attacks and attacks and attacks. and they are so deep as well. They wrestled like 3-4...

They get announced tomorrow. 2014-2018. hope there are some good locations in there.

Waste of a date. seriously, what's the point of that. it's during the day while people at work so the fans can't go. the hawks average match was a first period pin. what does iowa gain from this? confidence? no. you don't get confidence pinning someone significantly worse than you. why not...

nov 2nd. feature match is Steiber vs K. Maple. that should be a great match.

i like them for the most part. Not really the one about hand on the mat w/ no reaction time. but other than that i think they are all good changes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=K87reQSL8PE

What Burroughs did today is unbelievable. He is one mentally tough S.O.B. 65-0 wrestling on the senior international level now, pretty impressive. What a great ambassador for the sport as well. i don't really know how you could not like the guy. out scored his opponents 34-3 w/ a broken ankle...

So obviously it'll really suck if they eliminate a weight going forwards but looks like they will. i HATE the idea of basically just dropping out 132. i'd like it to look something close to this. How would you draw it up? 126 138 152 171 196 250 This would hopefully eliminate a lot of guys...

better each year. when you throw in B10 network and what Flo does, it's hard as a wrestling fan to complain too much with the coverage we get for a relatively small sport. ESPN Expands NCAA Wrestling Championship Coverage: Every Mat to be Shown for the First Time | TheMat.com - USA Wrestling

I'm sure most have seen this video but if you haven't, i thought it was awesome. thought you might enjoy it. FILM: Save Olympic Wrestling | Wrestling With Iowa

does anyone know where nationals will be after Oklahoma city next year? i thought that's usually announced by now. maybe i missed it.

So I thought it’d be fun to come up w/ a pound for pound top ten for going into next season. Figured it’d give us something to talk about in the offseason. I didn’t have any real system for the rankings, just basically went off a mixture of resumes and what my eyeballs told me when I...

International Olympic Committee drops wrestling from the 2020 Olympic program - The Washington Post

man, what a dual and what an experience to be in Carver. that was fun as hell. Hawks looked great. I was hard on them after tOSU dual and others. i thought they looked slow, plodding adn relatively unathletic. Last night that was not the case at all. they moved well and looked very ready for...
