8:30-10:30: Iowa @ Michigan
I’m 25 at the moment. My only regret is not training harder and living a cleaner life in college. I’ll eventually be coaching Hs kids (just youth for now) and will be sure to preach lifestyle as it is important at high levels.
I also really enjoyed the Vito documentary. I follow wrestling so I knew the story but lots of stellar scenes!
You don’t think we see Keuter at Hwt? I think who they put out there will show Ben’s readiness to compete. He’s a young guy still with minimal experience.
This is a really fun topic and really drives home the dominance of PSU.
I hate them, but I think it would take the #2,#3, and #4 ranked team to take them out in all honesty. Iowa, Cornell, and maybe Mizzou would match up well?
It’s like you haven’t even followed college wrestling and 125 this year…. Everyone is beating everyone, any number 1 ranking is going to have a lot of room for criticism.
I don’t like you.
Yeah dude rankings are subjective, thanks for the clarification. I’m obviously just a Purdue Homer….
regardless, who would you have at number one. Per my thread, 2 125 pounders ranked #1 have lost to HS kids. This is no longer a one off and we really could see an NCAA champ with a loss to a HS kid this year.
I’ve heard this before, what do they get out of a lower roster limit?
For a private school it’s makes sense to allow 40+ kids on a team and then tuition pays for the team and then some. Why would they not use the same logic?
Why were there no Americans? Isn’t this a tournament that we generally send some of our better guys to to get international experience?
btw- I fear for Snyder at the Olympics….
How does anyone compete with the 10-15 programs that are willing to throw money at facilities and have donor support: Illinois is installing a $14M facility; Iowa is getting a $31M facility. College sports are becoming an arms race, even in a sport that has no true pro league or millions to be made like the average pro in the NBA or NFL.
They developed some studs that all happened to transfer to Michigan, which doesn’t appear to care to win duals or anything, which is upsetting to see they have the money but not the will.
hopefully they continue to develop guys and get back in the swing of things. With Purdue on the road at NW on February 9th it could be a good chance for both programs to get a Big10 win.
I had the opposite feeling today, coaches shouldn’t need to challenge as much and official challenges should happen more often.
But also I feel like that does mess up the flow of matches. I want the right call so challenges are necessary, they need to make them quick though.
My friends and I were talking about that, keeping talent in state. I think that’s a problem for every state in all honesty.
if you’re a top 5 guy in your weight you can realistically go anywhere so there is less reason to stay in state.
