I only discuss top fifty wrestlestat.com rated wrestlers. I'm a ranking snob. Here's 165 to 285. This tournament was the tits last year. You get the starters, reserves and true freshmen. Nonstop action. Don't **** it up, Flo. Cheers! Glad you're here to double the number of Illini fans on the board and glad to see you getting more exposure. Pretty sure you're the only person that still posts on IM besides Tamillow when he gets weird. I hope this place has South Park fans 1 1 i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRef Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 It will be interesting to see what the "Tom Minkel of the West" Greg Williams at UVU puts out on the mat this weekend. Rumor is that a nationally ranked kid lost the wrestle off and Greg is putting the winner up a weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Quick thoughts: - 125 - Medley VS McHenry in R2 (QF) potentially. If Medley wins this, which I think he will, he will have earned it. Koontz-McHenry-Heinselman-Gonzalez Predictions: Semi-finals - Medley over Heinselman, Gonzales over Prata Finals - Medley (Michigan) over Gonzalez (the Ohio State) Darkhorse - West (Northern Illinois) - 133 - Much less star studded than we had hoped. Mendez has a walk to the finals (opinion). Would have been nice to see Henson VS Mendez. We will learn a lot about both of them at 133 today with how they stack up to Byrd. Semi-finals - Byrd over Henson, Mendez over Koontz Finals - Byrd (Illinois) over Mendez (the Ohio State) Darkhorse - Henson (Oklahoma) - 141 - This one is tough to call as I could see half a dozen champions or so emerging from this. 2nd quarter looks to be the weakest, though. Semi-finals - Mattin over Hamdan, Schartz over Decatur Finals - Mattin (Michigan) over Schwartz (Oklahoma) Darkhorse - Epstein (Findlay) - 149 - This is one of the brackets I expect to blow up. I expect the finals I have, but bot the semi-finals. Semi-finals - Sasso over Davenport, Moore over Lovett Finals - Sasso (the Ohio State) over Moore (Oklahoma) Darkhorse - Lovett (Central Michigan) - 157 - In what very well might have deserved to be a finals match, we have Gallagher VS Gibson. Disappointing Semi-finals - Gibson over Munson, Wilcox over Chumbley Finals - Wilcox (the Ohio State) over Gibson (Northern Illinois) Darkhorse - Roberts (Illinois) - 165 - This one looks to be set up nicely to go as chalk through the semi-finals. I honestly don't think anyone here is on the same level as a healthy Braunagel, though. Semi-finals - Fish over Olejnik, Braunagel over Nijenheus Finals - Braunagel (Illinois) over Fish (Michigan State) Darkhorse - Bush (Olivet) - 174 - I am insanely disappointed that Walker isn't here. Semi-finals - Smith over Ruth, Shannon over Fisher Finals - Smith (the Ohio State) over Shannon (Michigan State) Darkhorse - Cramer (Central Michigan) - 184 - I don't really expect any surprises here and a very competitive finals. Semi-finals - Robero over Bullock, Finesilver over Bell Finals - Romero (the Ohio State) over Finesilver (Michigan) Darkhorse - Bell (the Ohio State) - 197 - We will learn a lot of Braunagel here, I think. Semi-finals - Hoffman over Bockman, Braunagel over Davison Finals - Braunagel (Illinois) over Hoffman (the Ohio State) Darkhorse - Braunagel (Illinois) (JJ) - 285 - There are so many 197lbers who are at this weight, we will see a lot if 'upsets' that are really just people out of their 'should be' weight. Semi-finals - Parris over Querio, Heindselman over Kurshidov Finals - Parris (Michigan) over Heindselman (Oklahoma) Darkhorse - Padilla (Ohio) None of these will be correct. Promise.

Because Track's is tenfold better than FloArena. Flo knows that so they can't just force everyone in to drinking their trash Arena. 1 "I know actually nothing.
