Mizzou and Vtech go head to head tomorrow in CoMo. Wonder if O’Toole takes a shot and bumps up to face Lewis. Will be a great dual regardless. Hope both have full lineups.

CoMo?  Have you and @MPhillips been riding the same bus?

I’ve always used CoMo when referencing Columbia Mo. Might be a local/Missouri thing, idk.

i doubt o'toole bumps up. I hope he does, how good is whoever they will put in for him at 165?

Could be Steed? He's currently backing up Mauller at 157.

Surtin vs Flynn is very interesting. Ando vs Mauller as well. 

[Hammerlock3]

well if he bumps up and beats lewis, he's definitely got the inside track for the hodge...

Mocco should be back at 174, and he's wrestled Lewis close, losing 3-2 and in OT.  Mizzou might need O'Toole bonus pts at 165, so I don't see a bump here.  Although I'd love it if they did.

I hold out hope because I tihnk Smith really cares about the sport as a whole. Fringe benefit to the fact that dual meets don't matter.

2 dollar tickets and you can sit damn near anywhere in the place. Mizzou really does spoil me.

Went through Columbia and the Mizzou campus with my family a couple years back.  Really beautiful place.

Let’s hope there’s no ducking

Is Steed healthy?   He was injured in a match a few weeks ago and haven't heard any updates.

Not sure. I don't follow Mizzou religiously. I was just spitballing.

As a native Columbian, I've never called it that. But, it is common parlance in the region (unlike "the Lou", which is only used as a gimmick).

As a VT fan, this is one of my favorite duals. Both programs have great coaches and it’s reflected in their rosters. It’s always a tough but respectful dual

[creek chub]

Rumor is Mocco didn’t weigh in. Sounds like the KOT vs Lewis match is likely to happen

As much as I would love to see  KOT vs Lewis, I am concerned. Maybe I am way off, but if they are talking of possible bumping, is Mocco not ready to comeback? I don’t see Smith not letting a healthy Mocco wrestler. Lewis won 3-2 in OT their last match so it’s not like Mocco wasn’t right there with him. To take a match away from Mocco when he could see Lewis down the line doesn’t make sense for the purpose of winning duals in my opinion. If Mocco isn’t back 100% I’m all for KOT/Lewis, but not at the expense of someone getting another match with a wrestler they could see later.

Hope he’s better before the season ends. Outside of Harmon who just wrestled 174 at Soldier Salute after being 184 for a couple years, I don’t know who else we have at 74.
