Fun Conference Matches

[Elevator]

Hoping to watch some qualifier matches.

Anticipating some fun matches:

174 EIWA Foca v. O'Malley - danger from all positions!

 B1G  Carter Starocci v. Labriola - maybe not as much fun, but could be a good one

157 ACC Any of Andonian v. Scott v. O'Connor

165 - will Carr wrestle O'Toole in the qualifer?

285 - B1G semis - both should be good!

184 - Soldano is only a frosh, but can be fun - wonder if he busts the bracket

157 - How good is Haines - B1G should make it pretty clear!

Mizzou has a dual with Iowa St on 2-15. Will O’Toole and Carr meet up there first?

I’m hoping so as well. Should be a great dual with multiple matches of ranked guys.

I'm still scarred from all the MFF from last year especially in Big 10 conference backsides.

Foca and O’Malley are from towns right next to each other ..O’Malley senior year and Focas junior I believe O’Malley beat foca 4 times , dual , county finals , Region and state finals …O’Malley took the only college meeting with a 40 second injury default..interested to see if foca can get over that hump finally , intermat has foca 4 , O malley 5 currently so both could be AAs this year …fun fact #3 guy Mekhi Lewis won a state title over O’Malley and foca in high school

if ddm then how can a duul be a qualifier?  I'm pretty sure they will wrestle on the 15th but the match at B12s will prob determine which side of the bracket they qualify for.

No kidding.... All the teams who had guys MFF should reimburse ticket holders for the product they did not deliver.

I hope Kevin Warren’s parting gift before leading Da Bears to a better stadium en route to a Super Bowl title is a memo to coaches before B1Gs regarding MFFs. Be sure to email his office encouraging as much.

I think it goes even deeper than just financial crime here.  Imagine you showed up to your local public high school dual and you have several ducks and strategic forfeits.  The consumer leaves the gym in a bewildered state and with a worse overall view of human nature.

Will be worse this year. I sit and see. It’s not frowned upon in the coaches circles anymore.

If the night of the State of the Union address the President ducked the speech/didn't show, just think of the level of disappointment by the general public.  Now image just the opposite level of disappointment and that's what is like to wrestling fans when one of our favorite wrestlers ducks.

I would be interested to see what conference has the most legitimate ducks this season...Don't we have people who make charts and graphs on this stuff?
