Are Sneed and Mayfield hurt? Neither went tonight for Mizzou.

Look at NDI results in first post.  Sneed took injury loss against Illinois last dual.

Mayfield missed duals at NDI as well. Haven’t heard anything in-regards to him.

Just watched the replay on YouTube this am.  Lot's of "what if's", but unfortunately, "reality is a b word!"

Did Moore have Byrd planted?  Couldn't tell from csmera angle, and official was, "a little late to the party!"  Moore needs to work on offensive leg attacks and less defensive gimmick if he wants to compete with the cream of this weight class.  He can be dangerous, but rule of averages eventually play out.

Unfortunate exchange at the edge of the mat for Seitzer.  I can see him continuing to make progress and learn from matches like this.  Should have stayed on the attack, like 1st period.  Gas tank?

Edmonds. What a waste of explosive fast twitch muscle fibers.  He wrestles lazy and will continue to win and lose by minimums.  He will finish his career as a "shoulda been" unless his coaches can get him to score more, and keep attacking.  Sure looks like Jacques his senior year.  So close, but.

As a Tiger fan, saw some positives from youngsters thrown into the lineup.  Wrestled fairly tough till 3rd period, and then lack of experience, and physicality caught up.  Stoner certainly had opportunities, but give credit to Illinois for finishing strong.  I'd like to see Stoner with 20 or 30 more pounds of muscle.  It sure helped big Elam his last couple of years at hwt.

Looking forward, MU wrestling is going to have a tough time competing with the traditional bluebloods and their NIL advantages/$, but I can see this team fighting for a trophy in the next couple of years.

With a full lineup we win yesterday. But as we’ve now become accustomed to, times we have a full healthy lineup are few and far between. I’m excited for Mauger. R12 to low AA wouldn’t surprise me. Not placing wouldn’t either. But he’s a good sized 125. I had worried he would be a Kurt Henry type and be a small 125.

Since restarting the Illinois/Mizzou series, it's 3-1 Illinois and that's not changing anytime soon.

Of course he's flat. The last buxom 133 pounder was Marilyn Monroe. 

[killdozer]

They have split the last two years in Injury defaults. Steed 2x and Connell & Moore for Illinois. Steed needs to never wrestle Illinois again. He was hurt last year and was out 4 weeks. This year he was knocked out cold.

Care to make a wager on that? I contend Mizzou will beat Illinois in the next duel they have against each other.

Sig bet. When I win, you add to your sig for a year “The KC Godfather made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. I refused, and now I sleep with the fishes”.

When Illinois goes belt to ass next year you can simply change yours to 

"I-L-L   I-N-I. Poeta rules"

Don't be so mean about a common malapropism. Missouri's adult literacy rate recently moved up to 38th! Children's literacy dropped down to 48th but that's a sacrifice Mizzery was willing to make. Sometimes that means dualing wrestling teams, sometimes it means dueling banjos

Well sure no one expects much from Hillbillies but don't ya think them educated Californie types would read thru the details before encouraging common folk to gamble on such orthographical errors?

Have you ever met someone from Missouri? They couldn't find California on a map if Newsmax pointed to it.

[MidwestMan]

I'm usually up for a fight, but fact is, I've lived in this state my whole life and I'm sad to say, "this state is going backwards!"  Rednecks north of I-70 and hillbillies south.  Missouri is considered Midwest, but we are in realit "Arkansas North!"

Speaking of education, the powers to be in the current administration has allocated $50 million in vouchers for private school education, paid for by Mo. taxpayers.  Readn, write n, and ciphering, has suffered in this state, but hey, we're cutting taxes, and many school districts are going to a 4 day school week.  We like our 4 G's in Misery: Guns, God, Games, and Gravy, in no particular order.  Follow our politics for a hint about the "Show Me" state in regard to national IQ ranking.  Yes sir doggie!

You may have beat us the past two times in wrasslin, but I bet we can take you in "cornhole!"

Flashback Friday to 371 days ago when Illinois manifested the Poeta era is here to stay after a few years of having to right the ship

Lolol. You just met someone from Missouri (although I'm "from" Oklahoma, grew up in Missouri, and now live in Kansas). Bringing up Newsom tells me all I need to know. And education? Ha. I'm sure yours is better and has made you much more successful than me

Yes. Hillbillies. You've clearly been to my neck of the woods. Michael Chandler would agree.

Can we focus on wrestling and stop the BS?
