2023 Collegiate Duals in Nashville

[flyingcement]

Fun batch of teams going this year.

We’re making the trip. Had a great time at the event in New Orleans last year.

Glad they are mixing in the Little Rocks and Lock Haven's of the world.

They didn't hesitate to put Lock Haven and NC State on the same side of the bracket either.  Some bad blood between Noto and his old team.  Will be fun to see that one with him and Camacho.

Are we missing some teams this year?  Like eight of them?

If all goes well maybe we'll get an honest Cornell/Ohio State dual...

Won't happen.  Cornell already has tOSU (and NC State) on its schedule.

I'm aware. Last years Cornell/OSU dual was a just a weekend in the sunshine...

Does anyone know why we have half the total teams of the previous two years?

Pretty sure the last two years there were 12 teams, not 16.

[MPhillips]

Twelve last year in N.O.

Correct.

Still less.  Just curious.

 While they were there...

Agree, though, that the dual was a substitute-fest. (Match-ups that were anticipated never quite came into fruition. )

As a PSU fan, not happy because I like this event.  I have read somewhere that there maybe "senior nationals or some sort of Olympic qualifier around those dates" so I'm guessing a lot of the PSU guys will be there

Looked like Land had an injury during Olympic trials.  Any word on whether he is ready to go?  I think he would take Farber

News to me.

I'm a rabid UNI fan, but I've never been a UNI insider and I follow nothing during the off season,  so I can't be of any help. 

I do know that there's hope that Land goes 125 and Farber 133, but we'll see. I think either of them will have their hands full beating Biscoglia, but he's rumored to not come back and is going to begin medical school.

Good for small schools

How does 2nd round work?  Does every get match or only the top finishers?

[MPhillips]

[TJ-Pinzburgh]

Only 3 dual matches each?  Or championship match?

Starts in five minutes.  Got my split screen ready and a pot of black coffee.  Let's go
