Warm Up Champ

Stanford to Oklahoma.... I don't know man. Academically and geographically. I can't say that I would see many doing that, if any at all.

Stephen Buchanan back in the portal! Going to Wyoming I heard......

I believe he was. There were a few other tough wrestlers on that squad that transferred out and did well. Chael Sonnen actually started at BYU before he transferred to Oregon where he "All-Americaned". I also remember Rocky and Rangi Smart. I think Rocky transferred to Arizona State and did well. BYU wrestling archives are hard to come by, it seems the University did all they could to get rid of the program history..... BYU also used to have a very colorful announcer for their home duals, his commentary and introductions were something else.

Who in the portal is actually going to get paid NIL money from another school? Definitely see Griffith, Truax, Davison, and Olejnik getting some $ to name a few. Who else? How much money will these guys acutally get?

Dresser?

August Wesley?

Go West young man!!! Oregon State!

If you built a team next year solely out of transfers, could they earn a trophy next year in K.C? 125- Caleb Smith or Dom LaJoie 133- Chris Cannon 141- Gabe Willochel 149- Marcus Polanco 157- Travis Mastro 165- Shane Griffith or Mitchell Messenbrink 174- Izzak Olejnik or Shane Griffith 184- Bernie Truax or Guiseppe Hoose 197- A.J. Ferrari or Bernie Truax/Jake Woodley if Ferrari's legal troubles aren't cleared 285- Lucas Davison or Yaraslau Slavikouski

Let's go!

Maybe everyone in the country just had big watch parties! I know I had about 5 guys over to watch that would have watched at their place. I sure my party was pretty mild compared to some of the ragers you all probably threw!

BIG BROTHER - little brother

A few nice throws at 1:28 and 2:33. Nice shot at 5:10. I think Vito is quicker.

Although Oregon State took a bit of a step back at NCAAs this year I do think the program is on the rise. Pendleton is building something solid. Positive momentum. Excited to see where they are in a few years.

Sorry. In my quick scan of the message board I replied incorrectly. Real Woods transferred out of a program that was close to being cut..... Max Dean transferred out of a program that "cut" wrestling during the Covid year.

Trey Munoz started at Arizona State and just AA'ed for Oregon State. Jason Tsirtsis transferred to Arizona State from Northwestern. AA'ed at both schools. Evan Wick Wisconsin to Cal Poly.

Lots of gloom and doom from many leading up to the tourney. Lack of lodging, lack of food/drink nearby, pricey flights, etc, etc. Now that is over what are your thoughts? How was the arena, the town, the overall weekend experience?

I'll start. Oregon State Beavs were 2-5. 2 of those 5 losses were upsets according to the seeds. Overall we didn't look sharp to open up the tourney. We have some tough roads through the backside brackets now. 125- Kaylor lost to Wagner UNC 1-3 133- Shaner lost to Biscoglia UNI Fall 141- Belton lost to Filius PUR 3-8 (Belton had beat him earlier this year) 165- Olguin lost to Wilson NEB 1-3 SV (Olguin did have to take time after taking a shot to the head early on) Some wild scrambling in OT 174- Olmos beat Wolak COL 6-3 184- Munoz beat Parker NDSU 2-1 197- Harvey lost to Surber OKST 1-8 (Harvey had beaten Surber 14-9 this season)

Munoz!!!

In reality it should currently be called the Pac-6!

I believe that Oregon has 4 qualifiers, not 5. Travis Wittlake, Chance Lamer, Jason Shaner, and Tanner Harvey. It also looks like you have the Pac-12 labeled as the Pac-10.

Pendleton has the Beavs peaking at the right time. Oregon State is going to do it. Looking forward to Olmos beating Plott again in round 2!

Tongue in cheek. Referencing this recent post.

Looks like there will be a couple of repeats of the Pac-12 finals in the second round? Hope I am wrong 125: Kaylor v. Courtney in round 2 165: Olguin v. Griffith in round 2 Brutal

Doubtful. Pac-12 got hammered in the seeds.

Maybe coaching harnesses? Each coach is required to wear one and they are attached to a solid object that is (fill in the blank) distance from the mat? After the match the coach unhooks their harness, holds the strap, and walks around the tournament with it on until their next wrestler is up. Repeat....
