I think it probably had most to do with, getting Campbell's 4 ranked guys in the first 4 matches and getting Minnesota's lightweights fresh off the scale. Even a close match at Hwt would have been momentum for their 125-141 which were their best chances at getting a ranked win.

Campbell wins the flip and elects to start at Hwt. Gophers get back-to-back shutout wins this weekend. #8 Minnesota 44, Campbell 0 Nov. 24, 2024 | Minneapolis | Maturi Pavilion | Attendance: 2,346 285 #1 Gable Steveson TF #7 Taye Ghadiali (CAMP), 20-4 6:56 | MINN 5, CAMP 0 125 #14 Cooper Flynn dec. #26 Anthony Molton (CAMP), 5-4 | MINN 8, CAMP 0 133 #8 Tyler Wells MD #22 Domenic Zaccone (CAMP), 10-2 | MINN 12, CAMP 0 141 #5 Vance VomBaur MD #30 Shannon Hanna (CAMP), 11-2 | MINN 16, CAMP 0 149 #22 Drew Roberts MD Oliver Fairchild (CAMP), 11-3 | MINN 20, CAMP 0 157 #7 Tommy Askey MD Seth Larson (CAMP), 13-1 | MINN 24, CAMP 0 165 #10 Andrew Sparks TF Ryan Bolletino (CAMP) 25-9, 6:56 | MINN 29, CAMP 0 174 #25 Clayton Whiting MD Brant Cracraft (CAMP), 15-4 | MINN 33, CAMP 0 184 #10 Max McEnelly TF Conor Maslanek (CAMP) 19-4, 3:13 | MINN 38, CAMP 0 197 #7 Isaiah Salazar win via forfeit | MINN 44, CAMP 0

Riggens down by 12 with 15 seconds just needs to evade the takedown. One more stalling call wouldn't matter.

What are they challenging?

I didn't hear that, but it's entirely possible. It would be quite a slap to Kueter right after he left football for the year.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

I want a write in vote for Penn State

Strong rumors of a large offer coming from south of the MN border. I'm not sure if that was last year or this year though.

I think he is giving Minnesota a significant hometown discount compared to what he was offered elsewhere. This seems evident from his return video and press conference. With his Instagram following and local TV commercials and endorsements, he can generate a lot of his own NIL money without digging into the Gopher's collective fund too much.

This Sunday against Campbell.

Translation: He wanted to kick everyone's arse, but they wanted him to be a jobber.

In 2022 he graduated with a double major in Communications, and I believe, Marketing. He said he is currently taking grad classes but didn't get specific.

Gable presser today. He's back this Sunday.

Speaking of Burwikk.....he just took second at Daktronics for his new team NDSU.

Maybe, but he was down to about this weight for events over the summer.

Whiting lead early, but seemed to gas a bit at the end.

Your list is what I was about to type (that Sinclair will have competition from). I think Josh Barr will also be back down at this weight next year also.

Unless he has a goal to win another Hodge and tie Cael's record of 3. But I guess even if he wrestles a heavier schedule, he'd still get serious competition from Starocci/Keckeisen winner, or someone else who may emerge. I don't know how many total matches a person would need to get consideration from the Hodge committee, maybe 15?

They announced something prematurely. They apologized to the family. The family said its fine, no problemo. This should be the end of the story, but random people online are still losing their minds over it.

I'm guessing they will use him for a few key duals (maybe Neb, Iowa, tOSU, Mich, SDSU) where a forfeit could make the difference in the dual. The press release said they expect him for Campbell on 11/24, who has AA Ghadiali at Hwt. More information about his schedule has been said to come out on Monday.
