I am not asking about opinions. I am asking about actuality. Ayala was there as an unattached wrestler with no Iowa gear on, yeah? It was likely Ayala's decision to wrestle him, then.

Bro... hair cut and all!

With Ayala wrestling unattached, how much onsite 'power' did they have over Ayala there?

Who's mom was it that was pissed off that her high school kid had to potentially face a middle school kid and got their entire 'future' high school banned for like two years? Desmond? I feel like it was Desmond?

Minnow is a paying hater, though. He loves bragging about how he is a booster, yeah?

Davison beats Pitzer 4-0 with over four minutes of riding time. If I had my way with riding time, that match would have ended 13-0 (3 points then 1, 2, 3, 4 for riding time).

Also, Schultz needed that pin there Good for him

So final match of the tournament. True Frosh Pitzer of Pitt VS Davison of Northwestern. Whoever wins gives their team the Midlands title. Cool.

I believe MFF wins count towards your match count, don't they?

I would call his podcast a focus on entertainment. He does some pretty badass interviews and Cenzo is always a delight as well, but anything driven by him is staunch NLWC or whomever he is promoting the most at that time. He does quite a bit to push brands for wrestlers and the podcast is a great tool for him to do that - first, and an opinion driven hobby second.

It's funny because Minnow is a paying hater. At least Basch owns his colors. Minnow legitimately tries to ruin peoples lives just to twist what they say and manipulate their emotions. Look what he did with Swatfords brother last year. Both Swatford and his brother are actually stellar gents. Top notch and more like every day guys than 99% of D1 wrestlers. Minnow took a fiscally and emotionally sensitive situation and abused it for clicks... JUST TO BE OKAY WITH BEING WRONG. I may poke fun at Swatford and his brother - or at least I did on the old forums quite a bit, but for anyone who knew nothing about Minnow before then, that shows you all you need to know about his character. For those who continue to tickle his juevs with your tongues? Do better.

Didn't see. Did Ayala dive or was the Pin legit?

If Pitzer goes and beats Davison, there is no way he stays on shirt. Hell, even if he loses to Davison the ship might have already sailed. That said, I expect Davison to comfortably win. He has every strength of Pitzer covered - and then some. If it is a beating, then the shirt might be required to stay on.

Hillger is an athletic heavy that has gained 30lbs (~250lbs now - not 290lbs like Schultzy) since arriving in Madison. That makes his greatest strength - quick feet - not so great anymore. He has improved skill-for-skill but is stuck between being an athletic heavy and a dancing bear at this point. Schultzy is legit 290lbs. He is big. It also seems like he has lost quite a bit of speed.

It should be mentioned that it was 2-1 after the first with negligible riding time. Pitzer rode Hillger out the 2nd. RT was back under one minute at the time of the fall, but an escape for Pitzer would have sent it to OT.

Anybody else on the planet see Pitzer doing that to Schultz and Hillger in successive matches? Not just doing it but how he did it?

Oops. We blame the Brands Bros for confusing me there, yeah? These gents should also be at the Midlands. Unacceptrical.

Lee - Ayala is the 'expected' finals at 125lbs. Ayala defaults this one, yeah?

Swatford MFF the 174lb Semifinals at Iowa.

Three (3) West Virginia wrestlers MFF out, including Peyton Hall.

The problem with wrestling as a second semester sport, unless we condense the season rather drastically (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), is that WTT, OTT, Ranking Series Events, and last chance tournaments basically immediately start right after NCAAs. So basically the Freestyle season begins immediately - and is rather condensed as it is.

This is why I have a feeling we may see a 'light' 133lb Glory for a few weeks. Weigh in low enough to be able to make 125 within a week or two, but still test the waters at 133. If he were to commit to going 133, he is strong enough I think he could do it on a rather short notice. The only guy he needs to worry about at EIWAs is Arujau. EIWAs did get two (2) allocations at 133 last season, so I imagine it will be at least that with Arujau moving up from 125. Ergo, I think he steals an AQ if he goes 133 with relative ease.

He would be a 197lber if so... ... ...
