I agree that it's better for the team lineup - and maybe for down the road as well. However, prior to this season when it was announced he was going to 197, there was a lot of chatter on this (old) board that he was going to be way better at 197 and possibly a title threat.... I see it as similar results overall and more of a trade off at this point... but he could kick it up a notch come NCAA.

Yep.... and two of their coaches that had great success there, including their head coach Mendoza, went to Boise State only to get axed in a year. Mendoza could have had a good think going if he had stayed.... but a head coach can only do so much fundraising before getting burned out.

Haha... I was just typing the exact same thing.... Bakersfield has to self fund the program.... they have had a turn over in coaches that get little support.... but here they are still wrestling. They have a tough go just keeping the program afloat...anyone doing that deserves huge kudos and the entire wrestling communities support. The last thing any wrestling fan or coach wants to see is a dropped program....And I thought you were a Pac 12 supporter "NearFall"

Are you saying that his 3 wins last year over current top 12 Heavyweights is the "same thing that can be said" as one win over Rocky Elam? What is his best win besides Elam? There are 5 pretty good bets to AA at 197..... that leaves 3 spots where he would be fighting with the rest of 197 and he has lost to two of them that I don't consider good bets..... 2 spots by your calculations at Hwt.... He was the 19th seed at the NCAA last year....He's ranked 17 now.... seems like it was a trade off to go from HWT to 197, UNLESS he puts it in high gear in the post season and ends up an AA.

Patrick Glory disagrees.

He had wins last year over 3 current top 12 heavyweights. I think 197 is a little better overall, but heavy has it's own hammers. I would say it's a trade-off. It has been better for the team lineup but I am not sure it has been a better move for him personally. We will see at the NCAA.

Doucet and Heindselman both looked in good shape for a heavyweight 2OT.

Back in the day before you knew who a lot of guys were around the country, I thought I was a pretty tough cadet, so I bumped up to Juniors for Regionals in Vegas....I won some matches and then ran into a tough kid....Buxton. He leg laced me back to Idaho.

Has the Surber move been a success, failure or trade-off? Seemed like people were hyped for the move.

Carter cooled off Mosha tonight.

Trackwrestling has seeding information from last years tournament.... if you can figure out what it means. It "seems" to indicate total winning percentage rather than conference wins as criteria. https://www.trackwrestling.com/predefinedtournaments/MainFrame.jsp?newSession=false&TIM=1676599321031&pageName=%2Fpredefinedtournaments%2FTournamentCriteria.jsp&twSessionId=qcrcsqdmvf

Johnson robbed himself by not finishing those shots.

Correct.... Grant and Hunter.... Grant would have been ranked #1 heading into the season and Hunter somewhere in the top 8.

Winning rhymes with fun.

More of a tombstone... a la Undertaker.

I took Ornithology in college because I thought it would be really easy to get my science credits. I found out my teacher was a world renown ornithologist. I got a C- ... but C's get degrees.

This movie was what inspired me to wear polos under my singlet, but only for tournaments.

He was holding his shoulder but limping off the mat? So .... two injuries?

Was it easy money 4 months ago? Or just since yesterday?

When wrestling Glory, never have your coach throw a brick... never take an injury time.... and pre-pack your nose for blood so he never gets a timeout.

So? Start playing sports I guess??? Or start getting bigger donations for the academic programs?
