BLOOMSBURG, PA -- The short-handed Broncs, with just five starters in the lineup, won six of 10 bouts to defeat Bloomsburg in an Eastern Wrestling League dual meet Friday. “I feel good getting a conference win,” said Rider head coach Gary Taylor. “Anytime you can get a win with five guys out you have to feel good. It is tough competing at 50 percent.” For Rider (9-6, 2-1 EWL) freshman Chad Walsh (Cherry Hill, NJ/Camden Catholic) won by fall, his fourth pin of the season, to improve to 22-6 on the season, giving Rider a 17-3 lead. Freshman B.J. Clagon (Toms River, NJ/Toms River South) won a major decision to improve to 18-7 on the season. Senior Chuck Zeisloft (Woodbury Heights, NJ/Gateway) won in overtime to give Rider a 7-3 lead. “Chuck did a nice job of getting that takedown in overtime,” Taylor said. “That was a very close match.” Junior Rob Deutsch (Cherry Hill, NJ/Eastern Regional) won a major decision to improve to 18-6 overall, 12-3 in duals and 3-0 in the EWL. “Rob really worked hard, him and BJ and Chad got bonus points for us tonight,” Taylor said. “That really helped us. It (being shorthanded) puts added pressure on them but thankfully they are guys who can handle that. They are capable of stepping up.” Junior Greg Velasco (Union Beach, NJ/Keyport) won for the final score. “We thought we would win at heavyweight and Greg did,” Taylor said. “The (substitute) wrestlers who were put in tonight fought hard,” Taylor said, “and that is all you can ask. They did a good job. They did what they could do.” Rider defeated Bloomsburg 20-16 last season, giving Coach Taylor milestone win number 400. Rider and Bloomsburg have now met 15 times, with Rider winning nine. Rider travels to former conference rival Hofstra Sunday afternoon. “Hopefully we can get a few of our wrestlers back for Sunday,” said Taylor, who now has 413 career wins. “Hofstra is solid again this year. They are a good team. It is going to be a tough match. If we don’t get a couple of our wrestlers back it is going to be a real tough match.” Results: 125 Jon Haas-B dec.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team won its 10th match of the season with a near-perfect 36-3 victory against Davidson. The Mocs were a one-point loss away from a shutout, while improving to 10-5 overall and 5-0 in SoCon action. The Wildcats drop to 4-10, 0-3 in SoCon matches. “Another good win for us today, stated head coach Heath Eslinger. “You are always going to have some error, we just hope we eliminate all of it by the time we get to the Southern Conference tournament and the NCAA Tournament. Regardless, it was a good day of wrestling and thanks to all of the faculty and staff who came out to see a lunch time dual.” Davidson forfeited at 125 and Chattanooga scored bonus points in four of the other nine bouts. That was more than enough to improve the Mocs all-time record against the Wildcats to 23-0. Sophomore Michael Pongracz (141) and freshman Jacob Murphy (149) both had major decisions while freshman Justin Lampe (165) and sophomore Jared Johnson (285) scored technical falls. Chattanooga held a 30-4 advantage in takedowns, with 11 of those put on the board by Lampe in his win over Patric Devlin. Lampe jumped out to a quick lead with five takedowns in the first period alone. He finished with a 23-8 victory to improve to 3-2 in SoCon matches. Johnson controlled his match throughout, getting nine back points in a 17-0 win over Will Cooley. He nearly had Cooley pinned twice before the buzzer saved the fall. Johnson is a team-best 25-6 overall and 5-0 in SoCon action. Senior Nick Soto scored career win No. 109 with an 8-3 decision over Anthony Elias at 133. He is now tied for sixth on UTC’s all-time wins list with Ben Reichel (109-37-2 - 1985-89). The Mocs hit the road next weekend for a visit to Appalachian State. UTC can wrap up at least a share of its third-straight SoCon regular season title with a win over the Mountaineers. Match time is set for 2:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) in Boone, N.C.

KENT, Ohio -- Kent State improved to 3-2 in Mid-American Conference duals with a 25-9 victory over Eastern Michigan Friday night at the M.A.C. Center. With over 2,000 in attendance, the Golden Flashes made it a Beauty & The Beast sweep for the third straight year as Kent State's gymnastics team defeated Pittsburgh. "One of our goals is beat all of the core MAC schools, and so far we're on track to do that," Head Coach Jim Andrassy said of the Flashes' wins over Eastern Michigan, Ohio and Buffalo. After splitting the first four matches, Ian Miller started a string of four straight Kent State victories with a 19-4 technical fall over Brandon Zeerip. Miller kept the gas pedal down throughout the third period, scored a takedown with under five seconds left and rode Zeerip out to secure the tech fall with riding time. "Ian just overwhelms his opponents," Andrassy said. "He and Tyler Small both worked real hard to get us extra team points." Small beat the final buzzer with a reversal to secure a 9-1 major decision. After a second period reversal, Small immediately locked up a cradle that turned into a three-point near fall for a 7-0 lead. Junior Tyler Buckwalter found himself in a back-and-forth battle that was tied 5-5, before pulling away with a 9-5 victory. Both wrestlers recorded three-point near falls in the first period. Junior Caleb Marsh had a huge first period in his 12-2 major decision over Kanye MacCallum. In his first match in over a month, Marsh turned MacCallum with a bow-and-arrow three times in the first, racking up nine near fall points. Scrappy redshirt freshman Jerald Spohn overcame a 3-2 deficit after a period to down Mike Curby 6-4. "Jerald still makes a lot of mistakes, but he works so hard, it wins him matches," Andrassy said. Sophomore Mimmo Lytle improved to 5-0 in MAC duals with a 9-3 victory over Gage Hutchison. Lytle broke things open with a third period reversal, before building up riding time. "Any time you can score nine points as a heavyweight, you're putting yourself in great position to win," Andrassy said. Junior Del Vinas started the night with a 6-4 victory against Blake Caudill. Vinas scored takedowns in the second and third periods, erasing a two-point deficit early in the second. "Del was still a little hesitant," Andrassy said. "I think he could have scored a lot more." Junior Mack McGuire suffered his first conference loss, a 4-2 setback to Vincent Pizzuto in overtime. Pizzuto locked up a cradle from the neutral position and scooted behind McGuire for the takedown. The Golden Flashes (7-10) will look for another conference victory Sunday visiting rival Central Michigan at 2 p.m. Results: 125: Del Vinas (KSU) won by decision over Blake Caudill (EMU, 6-4 133: Vincent Pizzuto (EMU) won by decision over Mack McGuire (KSU), 4-2 SV 141: Tyler Small (KSU) won by major decision over Michael Shaw (EMU), 9-1 149: Nicholas Barber (EMU) won by decision over Mike DePalma (KSU), 10-4 157: Ian Miller (KSU) won by major decision over Brandon Zeerip (EMU), 19-4 165: Tyler Buckwalter (KSU) won by decision over Devan Marry (EMU), 9-5 174: Caleb Marsh (KSU) won by major decision over Kanye MacCallum (EMU), 12-2 184: Jerald Spohn (KSU) won by decision over Mike Curby (EMU) 6-4 197: Anthony Abro (EMU) won by decision over Cole Baxter (KSU), 8-5 285: Mimmo Lytle (KSU) won by decision over Gage Hutchison (EMU), 9-3

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A technical fall at 165 pounds by Bo Jordan and a major decision at 197 pounds from Kyle Snyder allowed fourth-ranked Ohio State to pull away for a 24-9 victory over No. 21 Purdue on Friday night in wrestling action at St. John Arena. Ohio State, winners of six straight, is now 10-3 overall and 6-1 in the Big Ten while Purdue falls to 8-6, 1-4.

Tomasello scored three first-period takedowns to jump out to a 6-3 lead and then took a 7-3 lead into the third period. He also racked up over a minute of riding time to earn the bonus point at the end of the third period. Johnni DiJulius made the score 6-0 thanks to his 4-0 victory over 14th-ranked and reigning Big Ten Wrestler of the Week Danny Sabatello at 133 pounds. DiJulius, who moved to 21-2 on the year, scored his points on a takedown in the first period (2:15) and third period (0:47). Three-time national champion Logan Stieber kept his perfect 2014-15 record intact with a hard-fought 4-0 decision over Nick Lawrence at 141 pounds. Stieber scored points on a takedown in the second period, escape in the third and riding time. After Purdue won by decision at both 149 pounds and 157 pounds, Jordan earned a key momentum-swinging technical fall at 165 pounds to give the Buckeyes a 14-6 lead. He jumped out over Pat Robinson early, taking a 7-0 lead after the first period and then finishing him off with an impressive second period that saw six takedowns. Jordan, ranked fifth nationally, is 12-0 on the season and 35-0 in his career. Martin’s win at 174 pounds came thanks to a five-point third period and bonus point for riding time.

Purdue, with their new coaching staff, prides themselves on being a team in top condition and with a lot of fight. Our guys that were aggressive and attacking were fun to watch.” Logan Stieber’s match “Credit for the kid. Logan has to find a way to break through that. He’s not feeling well but we needed him to compete so we wrestled him.” Preview of Rutgers and thoughts on Minnesota vs. Penn State “I was focusing on this. 13,000 people showed up and that is a beautiful thing for the sport of wrestling. I think we will have that many people at Buckeye matches sometime soon. Rutgers is similar to Purdue. They’re ranked and there are some weight classes that we are definitely going to face some challenges.” Redshirt freshman Bo Jordan On his match “After I got the second takedown in the second period, I felt his intensity go down. At the point I smelled blood in the water and kicked it up a notch.” On competing in the Schott “It’s going to be awesome. First time we wrestled here was Iowa and we got a ton of people here. I can’t imagine being in the Schott, I feel like we will get more of an awesome atmosphere. It will be Logan’s dual meet and Josh’s and Ray’s. Hopefully we will tear it up on Minnesota.”

The dual meet began at 125 where Lion junior Jordan Conaway (Abbottstown, Pa.), ranked No. 8, put Penn State up early with a hard-fought 3-2 decision over Michigan's Conor Youtsey. Penn State junior Jimmy Gulibon (Latrobe, Pa.), ranked No. 9 at 133, was dominant in a 9-3 win over No. 8 Rossi Bruno to give Penn State a 6-0 lead. Gulibon posted three takedowns in the bout. At 141, red-shirt freshman Kade Moss (South Jordan, Utah) notched his biggest win of the season today, using a reversal and two different two-point near falls to roll to a 6-3 victory over No. 17 George Fisher. Sophomore Zack Beitz (Mifflintown, Pa.), ranked No. 18 at 149, kept Penn State rolling with a 6-4 win over No. 9 Alex Pantaleo. Beitz used a last second takedown to post the win and put the Nittany Lions up 12-0. Penn State junior Luke Frey (Montoursville, Pa.) made his Nittany Lion dual meet debut at 157, taking on No. 13 Brian Murphy of Michigan. Frey battled Murphy tough through seven minutes before dropping a hard-fought 3-1 decision. With four wins in the opening five bouts, Penn State led 12-3 at intermission. Michigan's Taylor Massa cut Penn State's lead to 12-6 with a 6-3 win over red-shirt freshman Garett Hammond (Chambersburg, Pa.) at 165. Lion senior Matt Brown (West Valley City, Utah), ranked No. 3 at 174, halted Michigan's brief momentum with a convincing 12-2 major over Wolverine senior Jake Salazar. The win put Penn State up 16-6 and marked the dual's first bonus point. Michigan got right back into the dual, however, with a pin at 184. No. 10 Domenic Abounader got a second period fall over red-shirt freshman Matt McCutcheon (Apollo, Pa.), ranked No. 17. The pin came at the 3:52 mark and cut Penn State's lead to 16-12. Junior Morgan McIntosh (Santa Ana, Calif.), ranked No. 5 at 197, clinched the dual meet with a big win in the next match. The Lion used a third period takedown to post a 3-2 decision over No. 8 Max Huntley to put Penn State up 19-12 and secure the Big Ten dual meet road victory. Michigan closed out the dual with a win at 285 as No. 7 Adam Coon downed Penn State senior Jon Gingrich (Wingate, Pa.) 5-2. Penn State owned a slim 11-8 edge in takedowns in the closely contested dual and picked up its lone bonus point with Brown's major at 174. Penn State is now 9-2, 5-2 in the Big Ten.

Conaway drew first blood with a takedown at the 2:06 mark and led 2-1 after a Youtsey escape :35 later. The duo battled evenly for the next minute plus with Youtsey looking to control Conaway's shoulders and the Lion junior keeping things neutral on his feet. Trailing by one, Youtsey chose defense to start the second stanza and quickly escaped to a 2-2 tie. Conaway worked the middle of the mat, working for an opening but not finding any space. With the bout tied 2-2, Conaway chose down to star the final period. The Nittany Lion junior steadily worked his way to an escape and a 3-2 lead with 1:42 on the clock. With riding time not a factor, both men began looking for a critical and, perhaps, bout clinching takedown. Youtsey worked his way into control of Conaway's left leg, forcing a long scramble in the middle of the mat that ended in a stalemate with :27 on the clock. Conaway shot low at the :15 mark and but could not finish off a takedown before time ran out. Still, the move allowed the Lion to kill clock and post the 3-2 win. 133: Sophomore Jimmy Gulibon (Latrobe, Pa.), ranked No. 9 at 133, met No. 8 Rossi Bruno. The first two minutes of the match were contested in the middle of the mat with each man working from their feet. Gulibon used shoulder control with :49 on the clock to force Bruno's shoulders down and slid behind the Wolverine for a takedown and a 2-0 lead. Gulibon's strong ride allowed him to keep control for the rest of the period and lead 2-0 after one. Bruno chose down to start the second period and Gulibon was once again strong on offense. The Lion sophomore maintained control for the entire period, maintaining control while looking for a chance to turn Bruno for near fall points. Gulibon's strong ride sent him to the third period with a 2-0 lead and 2:49 in riding time. Gulibon chose down to start the third period and worked his way to an escape and a 3-0 lead at the 1:24 mark. As the clock worked its way to 1:00, Gulibon had the riding time point clinched. Gulibon tacked on one more takedown and cut Bruno loose at the :15 mark, gave up a quick takedown but quickly escaped and picked up a final takedown to roll to a 9-3 win (with 2:18 in riding time). 141: Red-shirt freshman Kade Moss (South Jordan, Utah) battled George Fisher, ranked No. 17 at 141. Moss was the aggressor out of the gate, looking to score on a couple early flurries. But Fisher was quick on defense and then began to mount his own charge in the late part of the opening period. Moss finished off the period in on a single leg, but Fisher fought the effort off and the bout moved to the second stanza scoreless. Fisher chose down to start the second period and Moss made the Wolverine pay with a standing throw for two near fall points. Fisher escaped at the 1:10 mark and Moss led 2-1. Fisher took the lead quickly with a strong takedown with :35 left in the period. Moss was unable to escape as the period ended and trailed 3-2 heading into the final period. Trailing by one, Moss chose down to start the third period. He steadily worked his way to a reversal and then tacked on two more back points to open up a 6-3 lead with just 1:10 left in the bout. Moss then dominated the action from the top position, winding out the clock with a strong ride to bring the clock to zeroes and post the 6-3 win. 149: Sophomore Zack Beitz (Mifflintown, Pa.), ranked No. 18 at 149, faced off against No. 9 Alex Pantaleo. The duo battled evenly early on with Pantaleo taking a 2-1 lead with a fast takedown at the 1:40 mark. Beitz had his next two shots stifled by Pantaleo, who was able to push back the Lion sophomore's efforts and hold onto the one point lead after one period. Beitz chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 2-2 tie. Beitz then shot low, using an ankle pick for a takedown and a 4-2 lead at the 1:10 mark. Pantaleo quickly escaped and Beitz led 4-3 with under a minute to wrestle in the period. Beitz nearly connected on another low single but Pantaleo was able to step out of trouble. Down 4-3, Pantaleo chose down to start the third period. He quickly escaped to a 4-4 tie with 1:42 left and action resumed in the center circle. After a reset at the :43 mark, Beitz shot low and Pantaleo countered. Beitz readjusted, countered around behind the Wolverine and notched the winning takedown at the buzzer. The final takedown gave the Lion the 6-4 win. 157: Penn State junior Luke Frey (Montoursville, Pa.) wrestled No. 13 Brian Murphy at 157. Frey was equal to the task early on, fighting off Murphy's early efforts while looking for an opening of his own. After two scoreless minutes, Murphy got in on a single leg, forcing a scramble that lasted nearly a minute. The Wolverine was able to finish off the takedown to lead 2-0 at the :13 mark. Leading 2-0, Murphy chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 3-0 lead. Murphy gained control of Frey's leg on a high single, forcing another protracted scramble. This one ended in a stalemate with :26 left on the clock. Trailing 3-0, Frey chose down to start the final period and quickly escaped to a 3-1 deficit. Frey upped the tempo in the middle of the mat, trying to force the ranked Wolverine's shoulders to the mat. But Murphy was able to stay on his feet and worked his way in on another shot, forcing another long scramble that ended in a stalemate with just :27 left to wrestle. Murphy shot low, Frey countered and had the Wolverine turned to his back. But no control was called and not takedown given as the buzzer sounded. The Penn State bench asked for an official review but the call stood as no takedown and Frey dropped the 3-1 decision. 165: Red-shirt freshman Garett Hammond (Chambersburg, Pa.) battled Michigan sophomore Taylor Massa at 165. Massa scored quickly, using a low double to open up a 2-0 lead. The Wolverine built up a :59 riding time edge before Hammond escaped to a 2-1 score. Massa quickly picked up another takedown and opened up a 4-1 lead. Hammond escaped to a 4-2 score with :25 left and action resumed in the middle of the mat. Trailing by two, Hammond chose down to start the second period. Massa controlled the action, however, building up over 3:00 in riding time before Hammond escaped with just :10 left in the period. Massa, with a 4-3 lead and a clinched riding time point, chose down to start the third period. Hammond worked form the top for 1:30 trying to turn the Wolverine but eventually cut him loose to a 5-3 score. With 1:59 in riding time, Massa posted the 6-3 win. 174: Senior Matt Brown (West Valley City, Utah), ranked No. 3 at 174, met Michigan's Jake Salazar. The Lion senior was steady from the outset, slowly working his way into position and taking a 2-0 lead with a takedown at the 1:46 mark. Brown then controlled the action from the top position for :50 before Salazar escaped. Brown countered a quick Salazar shot, working his way behind his opponent for another takedown and a 4-1 lead. Brown built up a 1:33 riding time edge with a ride out and led 2-0 after the opening period. Salazar chose down to start the second period and Brown spent the period trying to turn Salazar to his back. The Wolverine was able to fight off the near fall effort by Brown but the Lion's ride out gave him a 4-1 lead with a clinched riding time point (3:32) after two periods. Brown chose down to start the third period and quickly escaped to a 5-1 lead. He then picked up a quick takedown on a low single, picked up another point on a Salazar stall and then cut the Wolverine loose. He quickly added another takedown and led 10-2 with :30 left. A final stall and 4:37 in riding time allowed Brown to post the convincing 12-2 major decision. 184: Red-shirt freshman Matt McCutcheon (Apollo, Pa.), ranked No. 17 at 184, took on No. 10 Domenic Abounader. The duo battled evenly out of the gates, with McCutcheon owning the inside position as Abounader worked the margins of the mat. Abounader used a quick shot in the center of the mat to take a 2-0 lead with :44 left on the clock. A ride out gave the Wolverine and McCutcheon trailed 2-0 after one period. The Nittany Lion freshman took down to start the second stanza and Abounader took advantage. The Wolverine steadily turned McCutcheon to his back with arm control and got the pin at the 3:52 mark. 197: Junior Morgan McIntosh (Santa Ana, Calif.), ranked No. 5 at 197, faced off against No. 8 Max Huntley. McIntosh and Huntley battled evenly for the opening three minutes with each wrestler trying to control the other from their feet. The bout moved to the second stanza in a scoreless tie and McIntosh chose down to begin the second period. A quick escape gave the Nittany Lion junior a 1-0 lead and action resumed in the center circle with 1:32 left in the second period. Huntley tried to connect on a high single with :40 on the clock, but McIntosh stepped out of trouble to keep his one point lead. Huntley chose down to start the third period and quickly escaped to a 1-1 tie. McIntosh notched the bout's first takedown, turning a low single into a takedown and a 3-1 lead. Huntley escaped to a 3-2 deficit with :53 left and action was stopped for blood. With riding time not a factor, the wrestlers battled in the middle of the remainder of the period with McIntosh fighting off Huntley's shots to post the 3-2 win and clinch the dual meet. 285: Penn State senior Jon Gingrich (Wingate, Pa.), took to the mat against No. 7 Adam Coon of Michigan at 285. Each wrestler worked for control in the middle of the mat with neither wrestler breaking through for any offense. Gingrich was hit with an early stall warning at the 1:15 mark, however. Coon tried to connect on a high single that Gingrich was able to step away from and the bout ended the opening period in a scoreless tie. Coon chose down to start the second period and quickly escaped to a 1-0 lead. Coon continued to pressure Gingrich and picked up a point on a second Gingrich stall to lead 2-0 with :38 on the clock. Trailing 2-0, Gingrich chose down to start the third period. Gingrich escaped to a 2-1 deficit with 1:10 left and riding time not a factor. The Lion senior dove low at Coon's feet and did not connect, allowing Coon to counter the shot and post a takedown to lead 4-1 with :35 on the clock. Gingrich managed a late escape but Coon, with 1:18 in riding time, was able to post the 5-2 win.

Neither Anderson Silva or Nick Diaz have fought since 2013 and both are riding two fight losing streaks. Yet their UFC 183 main event has created plenty of intrigue. Silva, the longtime champion and irresistible force, against Diaz, a perennial contender and old school badass with a granite chin. Although Richard and John both think Silva will pull it off -- unless he's aged a lot more than we think -- it's worth tuning in for. Plus the rest of the main card features a number of even, tough to pick match ups, meaning our predictions will probably suck. Do you want to listen to a past episode? Access archives.

My coach told me it was my call today if I wanted to go. That made it my decision which meant I couldn't say no. It turned out well. "There are some things I will take from today that are positives and that I will build on. I am excited I am going to continue to train here for another week with Kazakhstan. They have some guys who are pretty good in my weight class within the World."

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Wrestling outdoors in front of the University Union plaza on the Cal Poly campus, CSU Bakersfield defeated the Mustangs 29-13 in Pac-12 action Thursday afternoon. The dual began at 165 where Adam Fierro (R-Sr., Bakersfield, Calif., Bakersfield HS) defeated Travis Berridge 4-1. In the only match of the day which pitted two ranked opponents against one another, No. 12 Bryce Hammond (R-Sr., Bakersfield, Calif., Bakersfield HS) defeated No. 28 Dominic Kastl 9-4. With CSUB (6-4, 1-3 Pac-12) leading 6-0, the Mustangs (1-13, 0-2 Pac-12) got on the board at 184 when Nick Fiegener earned a major decision, 19-10, over Sean Pollock (R-Sr., Oceanside, Calif., Rancho Buena Vista HS). Matt Williams (R-Fr., Apple Valley, Calif., Sultana HS) extended the Roadrunner lead to eight when he pinned JT Goodwin with 1:02 remaining in the first period of their match at 197 pounds. At heavyweight, Alex Encarnarcion-Strand (R-So., Concord, Calif., College Park HS) defeated Nicolas Johnson via a major decision, 12-4. Sergio Mendez (So., Arleta, Calif., San Fernando HS) rallied from an early deficit against Yoshi Funakoshi to pin the Mustang wrestler at 125 pounds with one second to go in the second period. Ian Nickell (R-Jr., Bakersfield, Calif., Bakersfield HS) defeated Jason Delacruz 9-3 in the 133-pound match to push the ‘Runner advantage to 25-4. Colton Schilling pinned Timmy Box (R-Jr., Bakersfield, Calif., Bakersfield HS) 2:26 into the 141-pound bout to make it 25-10. CSUB 149-pounder Coleman Hammond (R-Fr., Bakersfield, Calif., Bakersfield HS) posted his second consecutive major decision in a dual when he defeated Jacob Leon 9-1. The dual concluded at 157 where Colt Shorts used 1:06 in riding time to defeat Spencer Hill (R-Sr., Clovis, Calif., Fresno City College) 9-8. "Our guys wrestled well today," said CSUB head coach Mike Mendoza. "We had guys step up and get bonus points which was good to see. It was a good win and we need to build off this and continue to improve." The Roadrunners travel to the California Collegiate Open, hosted by San Francisco State on Saturday. The meet is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and will run all day.

If you didn't know already, the Iowa Hawkeyes are 2015's best collegiate wrestling team. And for a sport teetering on a massive exodus of fans due to an ever more boring product, the success of a stalwart is a very good thing. Tom Brands speaks at a press conference following Iowa's defeat to Minnesota last seasonDynasties sell. They make numbers for broadcasters and they reintroduce wayward fans to the power of hero and heel storylines. The Hawkeyes, with their cult-driven personalities and grunt-first mat attitudes, are carrying a season in desperate need of dynamism. The Hawkeyes will win the NCAA tournament and they'll do so in dominating fashion. While it's always been easy to write critical words about what happens when their passion becomes unbound, it's clear that in 2015 their ambition, talent and work ethic are in sync. (If Iowa does face a tough test, it'll happen tonight against the Minnesota Gophers.) Like the Yankees, Cowboys, Penguins and Tiger Woods the success of wrestling's dynasty will help the sport grow in America, but we all know the real gift is that Hawkeye success means more press conferences with Tom Brands. That's always good for business. To your questions ... Q: Could the Grand Prix you propose be pulled off? I'm an entrepreneur and always cooking up ideas and have often wondered about this being I'm a lifelong wrestling fan. In this case figured too risky and not worth the effort -- on my part. But as a fan, if it was available, would be awesome! Would the top names be allowed to participate? You'd have to have more than one weight class per event to make it a go and long enough for the paying fan. -- Paul E. Foley: I don't think you need more than one weight class and I think you can prune it down to only eight wrestlers. Not only would the paying public show up to a shorter event, they would likely do so in HIGHER numbers than you would see at a tournament. Good grief wrestling tournaments are difficult to follow and make for exceptionally long days. Imagine only eight wrestlers divided into groups of four with each wrestler facing three opponents. Instead of hoping that your two favorite wrestlers meet up in the finals of the Ivan Yarygin tournament, you are guaranteed to see them compete. And still there is an advancement aspect to the competition that is different from that of a promotional show. I'm pretty webbed-in to what goes on and I know there is nothing that stands in the way of this being an independently-run event. The only issue might become if you could get it on the calendar. However, I think any successful run Grand Prix could potentially end up in the re-imagined schedule for post-2016. Starting with what you know would work, it's easy to see how this could potentially make a lot of money. But more important is that the athletes receive financial compensation and the fans see that matchups they want. The media also gets the type of story and event that is easy to cover. I say rock and roll. MUTLIMEDIA HALFTIME My boy Jim Harshaw tells the truth about failure and wrestling. WooHoo for jiu-jitsu Post by Caio Terra BJJ. Q: What do you think of Deflategate? Who you got in the Super Bowl? Will wrestling ever have this type of event? -- Bryan L. Foley: There are wars all over the globe, hunger, starvation and deprivation affecting billions of lives. The consumption of sports was never meant to replace the distressing headlines from around the world, but in being presented to the public as part of the news was meant to provide readers a respite from carnage, a place where heroes could emerge and heels be squandered. In 2D and in print the sportswriter was able to build for audiences and readers a sense of the struggle and the scene as much as they provided the content of the action. Today sport journalism is a world consumed with low-calorie, highly caffeinated opinions about stories that lack real journalistic questions to answer. The journalism of the sporting world is being replaced by realty television raunchiness. Is this the way of things? Is the discussion of a hyper-minor cheating scandal outweighing the obvious and larger issues? In the mind of the paid-for partner media entities of the NFL the answer is, "Yes." There is no incentive to report further on head trauma or discuss the relative merits of putting financially at risk cities in limbo so that rich individual owners don't have to pay for new stadiums. Instead of covering the rabid consumerism infused into the day and how it might affect our cultural values, or at least reflect them, we instead have thought pieces on HOW TO TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT THE PATRIOTS CHEATING SCANDAL. We in the wrestling community always talk of validation by television and the need for the increased sales surrounding the sport. What we discuss with less frequency and ferocity are the consequences of selling up. What would it mean for wrestling to reach a platform 1/100 the size of the Super Bowl? Would we all be happier? Having watched the MMA media not give a Buffalo nickel about Jon Jones' cocaine use and the football media attack the idea of under-inflated footballs, I can now predict the end of modern civilization. We have peaked. We are on the downslope of achievement and falling fast. Wrestling doesn't need nor want the Super Bowl's disingenuous culture-culling swill. We are pure through sport and our intention should be to stay that way as much as possible. More money and notoriety seem like outcomes worth acquiring, but aren't when the consequences are the total loss of identity and the loss of reputation, the money loses appeal. We've reached the saturation point of bullshit in the media's depiction of sports. Entertainment is not meant for the fans alone, it's a hybrid, a careful shell game where the puppeteers hide from the paying viewers the sausage-making to ensure profitable outcomes. The media is supposed to sit back with cynicism and pick apart the bloviating and entitled shrimps that preen on-stage for the sake of dollar bills. Today, they are more like the magician's assistant than a cynic in the crowd. The real journos are gone and we only have left as few limp attempts at figuring out who mildly deflated balls used in a few football plays. Wrestling should remain outside of the fray and be content with growing our sport for our fans, and not for a general public that desires the lowest common denominator -- a public that wants high ropes and cage matches instead of passion and athleticism. Oh, and it's not a "World Championship" if nobody else plays your game.

Projected Matchups Iowa vs. Minnesota 125: No. 5 Gilman vs. Lizak 133: No. 5 Clark vs. No. 1 C.Dardanes 141: No. 5 Dziewa vs. No. 4 N.Dardanes 149: No. 2 Sorensen vs. Short 157: No. 15 Kelly vs. No. 1 Ness 165: No. 7 Moore vs. No. 17 Wanzek 174: No. 2 Evans vs. No. 4 Storley 184: No. 8 Brooks vs. No. 11 Pfarr 197: No. 3 Burak vs. No. 6 Schiller 285: No. 2 Telford vs. No. 13 KroellsTonight No. 1 Minnesota (10-0) battles No. 2 Iowa (10-0) for the 100th time. The dual meet is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT at Williams Arena in Minneapolis. Minnesota has come out victorious in three of the last four meetings between the programs, including the two most recent meetings. However, the Hawkeyes lead the all-time series 70-28-1. Tonight's dual meet will be broadcast live on the Big Ten Network. Below are three keys to victory for each team. Iowa Thomas Gilman has a record of 19-1 and is currently ranked fifth at 125 pounds (Photo/Mark Lundy)Take the Minnesota crowd out of it Both programs have loyal fan bases that travel well. So even with the dual meet taking place in Minneapolis, there will be a large Hawkeye contingent. It's important for Iowa to start strong and take the Minnesota crowd out of it early. Last year in Iowa City, Minnesota pulled a major upset at 125 pounds to begin the dual meet when Sam Brancale pinned Thomas Gilman, which helped silence the Iowa crowd and jumpstart the Gophers in a 19-15 victory. Assuming the dual meet starts at 125 pounds again (like most Iowa-Minnesota dual meets), Gilman will be the first Iowa wrestler on the mat and be heavily favored against Minnesota true freshman Ethan Lizak. Gilman defeated Lizak 11-4 at the Midlands Championships a month ago. If Gilman can dominate his Gopher opponent and earn bonus points this time around, it could help silence the Minnesota crowd and give the Hawkeyes momentum heading into matches that slightly favor Minnesota. Win one of the following three weight classes: 133, 141, 174 All three of the matches are expected to be competitive and will be especially important matches in deciding the dual meet winner. Based strictly on rankings, Iowa is a slight underdog at 133 pounds and 141 pounds, and a slight favorite at 174 pounds. At 133 pounds, Iowa's Cory Clark comes into tonight's match with a 16-2 record and ranked No. 5, while Minnesota's Chris Dardanes enters with a perfect 17-0 record and ranked No. 1. Clark won a Midlands title this season, beating Zane Richards of Illinois in the finals, a wrestler who was on the brink of beating Dardanes until the Gopher senior mounted a late rally, scoring four takedowns in the span of a minute in the final period to steal the victory. Chris Dardanes wrestles at a high pace and uses his conditioning to his advantage. If Clark can slow the pace, pick his spots and ride Dardanes, it's a match he can win. At 141 pounds, Iowa's fifth-ranked Josh Dziewa will meet fourth-ranked Nick Dardanes. Last season Dziewa upset Nick's twin brother Chris Dardanes, 1-0, in the dual meet. Dziewa will most certainly be in the match tonight, but whether he can get his hand raised remains to be seen. Undefeated Mike Evans of Iowa, a two-time All-American, is ranked two spots higher than Minnesota three-time All-American Logan Storley at 174 pounds, but it's Storley who leads the all-time series 3-1. All four of the matches between Evans and Storley have been decided by two points or less. Evans' lone win over Storley came in their most recent meeting last season in Iowa City, 2-1. Win the bonus-point battle With these two teams being so evenly matched, there is a very real possibility that the teams will both win five matches like the last time they met a year ago. If a 5-5 split occurs it will come down to bonus points. Iowa is expected to get bonus points from Thomas Gilman at 125 pounds, while Minnesota is counting on bonus point from top-ranked Dylan Ness at 157 pounds. In addition to being heavily favored at 125 pounds, the Hawkeyes are solid favorites at 149 pounds, 165 pounds and heavyweight. Of those three weight classes, 149 pounds appears to be Iowa's best opportunity for bonus points based on this season's results. It's a match pitting No. 2 Brandon Sorensen of Iowa vs. unranked Jake Short of Minnesota, who comes in with a record of 11-7. The freshman Sorensen has earned bonus points in over half of his wins this season has been on fire lately. He has recent wins over both returning NCAA finalists at 149 pounds, Jason Tsirtsis of Northwestern and Josh Kindig of Oklahoma State, as well as two-time All-American Hunter Stieber of Ohio State. Sorensen crushed nationally ranked Ken Theobold of Rutgers, a wrestler who defeated Short. However, what makes the Sorensen-Short match intriguing and gives Gopher fans a glimmer of hope is the fact that Short has owned the series in freestyle. Short notched a 7-2 victory over Sorensen this past summer in freestyle at the FILA Junior World Team Trials in Madison, and also defeated him in in the Cadet National freestyle finals in Fargo while in high school. Minnesota Chris Dardanes stormed back to defeat Zane Richards of Illinois (Photo/Mark Beshey, The Guillotine)Get wins from both Dardanes bros. If the dual meet starts at 125 pounds, the Dardanes brothers will be on the mat early at 133 pounds and 141 pounds and help set the tone for the dual meet. The twins have a combined record this season of 33-1 and will be facing highly ranked Hawkeyes Cory Clark (133) and Josh Dziewa (141), who have a combined record this season of 34-6. If both Dardanes brothers pick up victories early in the dual meet, along with Dylan Ness at 157 pounds, the Gophers will take a lead into intermission and just need to win two of the final five matches to guarantee a 5-5 split. Win two of the following three weight classes: 174, 184, 197 At least two of three Gopher upperweights from 174 pounds to 197 pounds must earn victories for the Gophers to have a chance to win the dual meet. Logan Storley (174) and Scott Schiller (197) both lead the all-time series against their Hawkeye opponents despite both being ranked lower than those wrestlers. The matchup at 184 pounds between Sammy Brooks of Iowa and Brett Pfarr of Minnesota is virtually a tossup on paper. Brooks has a slightly better record and is ranked three spots higher, but Pfarr has a win over a wrestler (Nolan Boyd of Oklahoma State) who defeated Brooks this season. (Brooks also has a win over NDSU's Hayden Zillmer, a wrestler who has beaten Pfarr twice this season.) Pfarr defeated Brooks 11-6 this past summer at the FILA Junior World Team Trials in Madison. However, it was Brooks who won their only collegiate meeting, 5-4, at the UNI Open two seasons ago. Use the home crowd to its advantage Minnesota has won 26 of its 27 home dual meets since 2011, so there is no denying that the Gophers feel comfortable wrestling in front of their home crowd. Last season Minnesota finished third among all Division I wrestling programs in attendance, behind only Iowa and Penn State. The Minnesota faithful will pack Williams Arena tonight, but the Gophers need to give their fans something to cheer about and keep them loud and engaged throughout the dual meet.

The National Wrestling Coaches Association will be bringing the National Duals back to campuses around the country in February to set up a finale weekend at the University of Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena The EAS Sports Nutrition/NWCA National Duals presented by Hibiclens and the United States Marines Corps in honor of Cliff Keen will start the weekend of February 14 at eight separate regional sites with the winners of the dual matchups coming together the following weekend. The Division I portion National Duals, coupled with the recently conducted Multi-Division National Duals, is dubbed Mat Mayhem. "We have the opportunity to engage a very wide fanbase by starting our regional event with effectively a play-in type of match," said NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer. "We saw success a few years ago with a regional model, but we took what we liked about the regional format with what we liked about a Final Four-type of format and put together a great way to finalize the dual meet portion of the season, culminating in a national dual meet championship." Cornell, Edinboro, Lehigh, Chattanooga, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and North Dakota State will all host the regional play-in round. Winners of each of those eight matches will come to Iowa City the following weekend where teams will be reseeded and then wrestle in an advancement-style bracket. Fans looking for dates, times and ticket information can go to www.nationalduals.com to find out how to purchase tickets online for each of the eight regional matchups and the finals weekend in Iowa City. "Some matchups have regional intrigue and some of our higher-ranked teams will be going on the road to kickstart fanbases in those particular regions," said Moyer. "For example, there is a large contingent of dedicated wrestling fans in the Upper Midwest and with Minnesota being the only Division I school in Minnesota and there are ties with the coaching staff at North Dakota State, that’s a natural regional matchup that will have great individual matches and also have storylines for the local media and local wrestling community." Action begins on February 14 as George Mason will take on Lehigh at Grace Hall and the seven other duals will take place on February 15. Other first-round matchups are Drexel at Cornell, Ohio State at Edinboro, Oklahoma at Chattanooga, Kent State at Illinois, Virginia at Iowa, American at Missouri and Minnesota at North Dakota State. The championship round will take place on February 21-22 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena with the quarterfinals and semifinals getting underway on Saturday and the finals and third-place dual continuing on Sunday. The semifinals and finals will be broadcast live on the Big Ten Network. "Since the founding days of the National Duals back in Hampton, Virginia in 1989, the dual meet advancement concept has provided some of the most exciting collegiate wrestling each season," said Moyer. "We’re extremely pleased that EAS Sports Nutrition has maintained its title sponsorship of the event and with the continued support from Hibiclens and the Marines. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to bring the National Duals to eight different venues across the country over a two-week span in February."

GOLDEN, Colo. -- The Colorado State University-Pueblo wrestling team earned a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference dual victory Wednesday at Colorado School of Mines. The ThunderWolves jumped out to a 12-0 lead, en route to a 28-19 win. The Pack used three pins to improve to 7-6 overall and 2-2 in league play, while the Orediggers dropped to 4-4 overall and 0-3 in RMAC duals. Junior Alex Baca (Pueblo, Colo.) recorded his second consecutive win at 125 with a 7-3 decision to set the tone for the first three matches. Senior Eric Hughes (Bolivar, Mo.) recorded his third fall of the season at 3:40, while junior Tim Urenda (Pueblo, Colo.) returned after missing last week's matches and won by a 6-5 decision. The Pack lost the next two matches and led 12-7, but a pin by freshman JaCobi Jones (Omaha, Neb.) at 165 in the third period (5:48) and a major decision victory for sophomore Steven Ullman (Arvada, Colo.) at 175 lifted the ThunderWolves' lead to 22-7. Back-to-back pins by the Orediggers made it a 22-19 dual with only the heavyweights left to battle. Senior Niko Bogojevic (Superior, Wis.) quickly pinned any momentum Colorado Mines had with a first-period fall at 1:50. Both Jones, who also returned from injury, and Bogojevic posted their second dual pins of the season. The ThunderWolves will host No. 5 Western State Colorado University (7-0, 3-0 RMAC) Thursday in a 7 p.m. dual at Massari Arena. Kids in grades K-12 that participate in a local wrestling organization will get in free by wearing clothing from their club or team. There will also be a 50/50 raffle.

DICKINSON, N.D. -- It didn't take long for No. 6-ranked Concordia to get back on the dual-meet winning track. The Cobbers posted a pair of three-match win streaks at Dickinson State and rolled to a 21-14 win over the Blue Hawks. The win was just what the doctor ordered less than five days after falling at Augsburg. Concordia traveled west to Dickinson, won six of the 10 individual bouts and improved their dual-meet record to 11-5 on the season. The trio of lightweights gave Concordia the momentum in the match by recording the first three-match win streak. Jakob Stageberg, Gabe Foltz and No.4-ranked Jacoby Bergeron all posted wins to stake the Cobbers to a 10-0 lead. Stageberg won 10-4 at 125 then Foltz followed with a 9-4 decision at 133. It was Stageberg's 22nd win of the season and he is now 22-10 in his first season of collegiate wrestling. Bergeron dominated his match at 141 and earned an 11-3 major decision. It was Bergeron's 18th consecutive win and improves his team-best record to 29-6 on the year. He is one win shy of breaking into the rare 30-win club and needs only 10 more victories to break the school record for wins in a single season. Concordia dropped the next two bouts in the match and saw their lead shrink to 10-7. Senior Jake Krogstad then started the second three-match win streak by gaining a 6-4 decision at 165. Krogstad, who is currently ranked fourth in the latest national rankings, recorded his 16th win for the year and moves his record to 16-8. No.8-ranked Sebastian Gardner and Brandon Larson followed Krogstad's win with victories of their own to give Concordia an insurmountable 21-7 lead with two matches left. Gardner won by a technical fall at 174. He finished off his opponent at the 4:52 mark after he pushed his lead to 18-0. Gardner is now 19-6 on the year and needs one more victory to become the fourth CC wrestler to reach the 20-win mark for the year. Larson closed out the match with an 8-4 decision at 184.
