Based on the rankings there were 96 matches where the lower ranked wrestler won. I don’t think that’s predictable, but happy to hear your thoughts. https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/11563528-every-upset-at-the-2023-cliff-keen-las-vegas-invitational

This is interesting that Lindenwood will maintain a women’s wrestling team, I guess that is the silver lining

They mentioned no donor support will keep them around.

He majored the kid that got 4th then lost two on the backside. I hope he’s okay and there are better days to come! He’s a Freshman so he will learn from this, I’m still high on him as is everyone else I assume.

I have noticed that he shows some bias towards who he likes to win the match, but as an announcer he seems fine. wrestling fans (and sports fans in general) seem to just need something to complain about

That sucks that it took place during a transition to D1…. It’s always about money and never about the betterment of young people

According to Flo Wyatt is out as is Shultz. I was excited to see how Lucas Davison stacked up to those guys, but they are not making the trip.

Where is Jakob Camacho at 125?

You couldn’t have asked for a better dual for ESPN. But the cyclones have to be down, this was their year….

He came close to the turn, with how they were moving at the end I think a takedown was less likely. In an alternate reality we got that finish to the match, but it still probably goes Iowa’s way. Either way you dice it that’s a tall order.

I feel bad for that Iowa State 197- he honestly looked like he didn’t care to be there.

I wanted to see Iowa state win so bad. Without Cassioppi and Brands Iowa gets it done. Hats off to them, they came more prepared and more war ready.

The UFC should have been in on college wrestling from the start, it’s got to be one of their biggest pools of potential incoming talent. Love to see it

Please keep your smut elsewhere

Flo has done a good job covering it, especially the D1 programs. I love wrestling and cannot recommend Flo’s pro membership enough. I love it, and love InterMat for the forum.

Living and training at a school but not being enrolled in class as to not start your athletic clock

I wrestled at Purdue for 3 years! I was a good HS wrestler who unfortunately was more interested in partying and being the man at night, not in the room, once I hit college. The lifestyle is incredibly demanding. 3 lifts, 7 practices, and individuals throughout the week in season. You don’t go home for winter break or summer vacation. You have to live and breathe Wrestling or you’re going to have a very bad time. Looking back I’m filled with lots of regret, but Ersland and Purdue wrestling helped shaped the man I am… it is what it is. I don’t drink now to make up for the lost time.

Absolutely mind boggling, two Hs kids in that bracket with the potential to knock off the #1 ranked collegiate wrestler in their weight. side questions- is this a bigger win than Ramos beating Lee last year in the Semis?

What do you mean he was suing him? Please link me so I can be up to date on the drama

Where the hell can I find replays of this? I don’t have All day to watch and wait for Americans to come up
