🚨 Elam HEW Alert 🚨

[bnwtwg]

The #1 ranked wrestler at 197 lost to a guy ranked only 19th!!! Word on the street is because HEW kicked in. I’m sure Mizzou twitter and forums are going crazy right now saying he should be replaced by the backups.

Surber wrestled Ferrari in their first ranking match.  Ferrari won, but not by much.  John Smith said he would find a way to get him on the mat.  That turned out to be hwt. last year.  Surber said he’s trying to break the habit of wrestling like a hwt.   Looks like he managed well today.  He beat Zack Elam at the Big12 Conference Tournament last year.

I think this might have been the best thing for Elam.  I don't think he really earned a #1 ranking, but I think he could definitely win it all (along with about 5 other guys).  Hopefully this brings him back to earth and helps him refocus heading into the post-season.

there's a rumor on another board that Surber dated the Elam brothers' mom 20+ years ago, makes sense but then sorta doesn't
