That would leave us with 9 weights. I'm not necessarily opposed to the other changes but just wondering what is crazy about 200 and 215? (I didn't put a lot of thinking into the weight suggestions)

Franek wins 2-1 on locked hands

128 135 143 153 163 174 186 200 215 MaxUltraWeight I think adding an 11th weightclass is an interesting idea. But I also think overtime should include a round where strikes are allowed so maybe don't let me write the rules.

Hm. Okay let's go: Ayala, 3-0 Nagao, 3-3 Woods, 6-3 Kasak, 6-6 Franek, 9-6 Messenbrink, 9-9 Star, 13-9 Bernie, 16-9 Brooks, 19-9 Kerkvliet, 23-9

Totally sound logic but I really, really hope we don't get any ducks. If it were to happen, I can see either team sitting their 141 pounder. Bartlett has more of a reason to since he presumably has the 1 seed on lock but the chatter on line is that Woods has been sick and possibly dealing with a minor injury so I wouldn't be shocked if the Brands sit him to let him gel. Mind you, I'm not confident in the validity of this chatter. It could just be excuse making. One could also argue that Gabe not wrestling at 174 is a duck variant given his prior online comments.

If I were to lobotomize myself and go full homer, I'd pick a 5-5 split with decisions only and with 125, 141, 149, 157, and 165 going Iowa's way. Iowa gets the criteria win. More realistically, I think 3 wins would be good and 4 would be great. Iowa gives up bonus at heavyweight and most likely at 174 but I believe Glazier and Arnold (at 184) keep their losses to decisions.

As a hardcore Iowa fan: gd, that was painful. Good work, Michigan. Woods isn't going to make it to the NCAA finals. I am in pain (but not really)

I bet money on this meet. If things go par, I lose big

why is deagu all of a sudden in shape

I'm drunk

Carter still a little under the weather or Rogz tougher than we (I) thought? Rogz didn't get to his offense, but he stayed in the middle for the most part and actually took some ground in the 3rd

I forgot about the major. Maybe not much of an upset then? Foca has been inconsistent this year

Foca just lost to Ayzerov of Columbia

not the right thread but I thought it was noteworthy nonetheless: Foca just lost to Ayzerov of Columbia 4-0

I hate to say it, but Kasak is looking like a very promising true freshman, even up a weight

Yeah. I thought I would be a fan of calling more top stalling but the way it's been executed this year has been inconsistent to say the least.

It was very close. Like Jim Johnson I thought there could have been a break in the count. 125 was an absolute atrocity and I think that has evaporated all confidence in this ref

maybe it is home cooking

for sure. I was just kitten

Home cooking

Can this be good or bad?

This does make me wonder, what exactly would need to happen to make the team race interesting for the next couple of years? A complete and total flop of the next 2 incoming classes? Kerkvliet deciding to retire to pursue MMA/WWE/Navy seals?

Interesting to see how much better PSU is at getting their 4 seeds to outperform relative to the field. Great work as always. 169 is a beautifully poetic number

Many people are saying that Iowa is the New Jersey of the midwest...
