    “Mission Trip”

    So they have to drop out of school and walk away from the team for at least a year? And figure out how to do enough service work to legitimize the "mission" story? All for the hope that a spot might open up for them in the next few years? Seems like a lot of trouble when they could just transfer...

    He has said dozens of times that everything before the NCAA Tournament is an exhibition. He has described duals that way and the Big XII Tournament. That is also the correct mindset.

    Nebraska Tickets

    I took my kids to Club 34 once. We were free to come and go. The kids got sick of standing up about half way through the dual, and we moved up to some empty seats in the 200 level. Might be tougher at the Nebraska dual since it will be close to a sellout. It was fun though. Free snacks and...

    Winning the Nebraska dual isn't very high on David Taylor's priority list.

    Unlikely. Rock is really good, plus Robinson isn't a big bonus guy. More likely that Rock wins than that he gets majored.

    It is still so early and the competition has largely been lackluster, so I am hesitant to make any definitive statements. But this is a message board, so what the hell. It feels like we have answers at 141 and 184. 165 feels a little more open, but I really like Swiderski's chances of being the...

    Michigan State Open

    It looks like ASU still hasn't registered, but the ASU website states the following: ASU Wrestlers in East Lansing 125: Christian Castillo, Damian Moreno, Rylan Seacrist 133: Adrian Meza, Gavin Bauder 141: Kyler Larkin, Emilio Ysaguirre 149: Pierson Manville, Daniel Miranda 157: Gabriel...

    David Taylor can say whatever he wants. A coach with his record and trajectory can lecture the fans all day, and no one is going to be offended. Would be interesting to see Tom Brands tell his fans they aren't allowed to boo the team.

    Interesting. I can't remember the last time I went to a sporting event and didn't boo someone. I'll boo the towel boy if he moves too slow.

    We keep saying that the crowd booed Dee, but they were really booing the ref for not calling a well-deserved stall point and booing the operators for their inability to figure out the clock. It's not like they booed Dee during his intro song. Let's not be over dramatic about it.

    OSU Invitational 11/1/26

    I agree that neither guy is anywhere close to a lock for a top 5 finish. I am not sure that you gain a lot by swapping Facundo for Swiderski/Dee at 165. It seems like Facundo thinks 174 is the best place for him to break into the lineup, which tells you something. Based on what I saw yesterday...

    OSU Invitational 11/1/26

    People love to cheer for someone who competes at a talent disadvantage but wins through heart and grit. That is the plot of most great sports movies (Rocky, Miracle, Hoosiers, Rudy, etc.). We were all told the story of the tortoise and the hare as kids and not one of us cheered for the hare. If...

    The difference between Jax's style and Landon's is fun to watch. Landon absolutely mauls a guy for seven minutes, the poor SOB is exhausted and looks like he wants to quit wrestling forever, but the score is 12-2. Meanwhile, Jax techs someone in 90 seconds and the opponent isn't even sweating...

    OSU Invitational 11/1/26

    White looked great. He struggled a bit getting out from bottom in the semis and then chose neutral against Berge (who is a hammer on top) in the finals. If he can clean that up and avoid freshman mistakes, the sky is the limit.

    I didn't have a problem with the fans in the 165 bout. That is what happens when you have an orange on orange match and one guy in orange acts like he wants it way worse than the other. The fans are going to cheer for the guy who is easy to cheer for. I love the way Swiderski wrestles.
