125 - Lilledahl (Davis RS) 133 - ? (Nagao) 141 - Bartlett (Kasak RS) 149- SVN 157- MM 165- Haines 174- Starocci 184- Barr 197- [transfer?] 285- Kerkvliet

Does MM have a redshirt? I think he actually could use one to work on defense. His offense is elite but he can improve on defense and bottom.

Does he have another year?

The Fix-Vito match lasted almost 30 minutes in real time. More time was spent by wrestlers standing around waiting than actually wrestling. Can we start by making a rule that cumulative review time cannot exceed match time (i.e. 7 minutes)?

By seed they were slated to finish 9th and they finished 5th. This is actually a really great performance by them. All the hoopla with gambling and the Ferarris and they almost doubled their predicted placement. Hats off to Iowa and the Brands. May their reign continue forever and ever.

Which finals matches would have had a different winner as a result of there being a pushout rule?

He should. Kasak should redshirt and SVN comes back. Kasak is a natural 141 and can slide in the following season when Beau is done.

They seem to be the top threat. Michigan loses half of their team (all grad transfers: Deaug, Cannon, Gomez, Griffith, Davison)

Yes, Penn State won the team title by 100 points and crowned 4 champs, including two 4x champs in Starocci and Brooks. It was the largest margin of victory and the highest team score ever. We should feel jubilant. However, I can't help but feel disappointed for a few reasons: #1 Braeden Davis going 2-2. Yes, he lost to the eventual champ in Richie Figs, but I had high hopes for the youngest to AA. #10 Aaron Nagao going 3-2 and missing AA. Not sure whether he was sick, injured or regressed but he went from 5th place last year to losing in the blood round. #6 Bernie Truax not finishing 4th again -- he got 5th. Beau Bartlett actually was the aggressor in the finals and was on a great shot. He was fully behind Mendez with arms locked around him and somehow this turned into a winning TD for Mendez. Just incredible effort by Mendez and he deserved the win....but sour taste for Beau to go out like this. To his credit he was smiling and showing incredible sportsmanship even after the heartbreaking loss. Does he come back to try to reach the top of the mountain? Mesenbrink somehow did not know he was down in the 3rd period. It would have been lame for him to win via stalling but he shut it down in the last 30 seconds thinking it was going to overtime. Would he have gotten a winning TD? Maybe, maybe not. But this is the biggest disappointment that he basically stopped wrestling in the last 30 seconds thinking the match was going to OT. 4/6 champs isn't bad but it really could have been a 5/6 or even 6/6 finals night. I hope Bartlett and Starocci come back and Davis and Kasak redshirt next year. Luke Lilledahl steps in and a healthy SVN returns.

Iowa still wouldn’t have won a trophy.

Iowa would have to pay him 8 figures to get him to be their coach.

Hodge has to be Keck or Brooks right?

Probably could make 103 now

Bobby Telford gets promoted to Associate Head Coach.

Hidlay barely tries to win.

How about staying in college until you’re a few years from 30?

That’s a torn ACL despite Starocci not disclosing it.

Fire Carl

Levi Amish Power Haines!

Had an incredible chance to win it tonight, had the two best shots of the match and just got countered perfectly. Unfinished business or calls it a career?

For being an elite college wrestler Cormier is surprisingly unknowledgeable about the sport.

Men don’t typically peak til 30, so why not?

Fix got every possible advantage that match and still lost.

How’s she compare to Mrs. Diakohamlis?

Figs stalled yes but he beat Ayala in take downs 2-0
