Essentially got the Gophers wrestling the perfect match here.  157 is the deciding match IMO.  Brands goes and it could cause a stir!  I think the McEnelly loss here will be a major one in the Gabe Arnold story down the road.

I have the rodents pulling off an upset as well, and a large part of the reason why is the match is at Minnesota. I think Cruz has a fighting chance to upset Flynn. I picked Teemer, but I think Askey is 50/50 to win. I think Sparks, pumped up by the home crowd, will upset Caliendo. I think Whiting, pumped up by consumption of vast amounts of human blood and suffering, will upset Kennedy. As you stated, if Nelson wrestles that upsets the apple cart. I think Gable techs Keuter.

If it's Millard for Minny, I'll consider the bet void.

McEnelly might major Arnold. Kid is knocking on the door of that first tier. Arnold is just barely holding on.

I'm going with Askey by Injury Def over Teemer

125 Flynn dec. Cruz 3-0 Minnesota

133 Ayala dec. Wells 3-3

141 VomBaur dec. Schriever 6-3 Minnesota

149 Parco major Roberts 7-6 Iowa

157 Teemer dec. Askey 10-6 Iowa

165 Caliendo dec. Sparks 13-6 Iowa

174 Kennedy dec. Whiting 16-6 Iowa

184 McEnelly dec. Arnold 16-9 Iowa

197 Buchanan major Salazar 20-9 Iowa

HWT Steveson TF Kueter 20-14 Iowa

I think Iowa wins in a competitive, but not nail-biting dual. Minnesota is a lock at HWT (duh) and a near lock at 141. I could be convinced that Iowa can win 125 and I won't be surprised if Arnold wins, but I'm not expecting it.
