    There wasn't a lot on the schedule last week with finals and fall graduation for a lot of schools, but the Big 12 went 4-0 vs. out of conference opponents and UNI hosted a big tournament with a number of schools from the Big 12 sending guys.

    Good performances: Colin Realbuto(149) and Tyrell Gordon(HWT) winning the UNI Open

    Both Realbuto and Gordon had two ranked matches when UNI wrestled Missouri and Virginia Tech last week. They both lost each of their matches. We often talk about the mental game with wrestling, and it can be difficult to bounce back after a few losses like that. Realbuto and Gordon pretty solidly controlled their brackets here.

    Kaden Gfeller is another. Dom Demas was up at 149 replacing Mitch Moore for OU. Gfeller got a really solid win over the two-time Big 12 champion and All-American. The type of win that could be a crucial confidence builder for Gfeller this season.

    What everyone is talking about: Two weeks and two rivalry brawls
    This one had a little less of a whole team vibe than what we saw with Iowa and Iowa State last week, but during the handshakes after Bedlam, OU heavyweight Josh Heindselman shoves AJ Ferrari and all hell breaks loose for a few seconds before Joe Smith charges in ends things and both teams walk away.
    You can check out the video here on my Twitter.


    Apparently there has been some bad blood stirring between Heindselman and the Ferraris for some time now according to a Facebook post by AJ SR. The video does seem to show a loud slap that was apparently from Heindselman to the back of Anthony Ferrari.

    Crazy thing is these two teams will meet again in February in Stillwater.
