I know this, I will relax a lot when Luke wins that 1st match. This is no gimme for Luke, Cruz has beaten a lot of top wrestlers, like Richie Figs, at least in the past.

I mean, I get it is inherent for fans to find reasons to worry, but I'm not sure pre-college results at a different weight are the results to be worried about. Cruz did have a very nice win over Rivera of Wisconsin earlier this year, then beat OSU's McCrone last weekend, so he's on a bit of a role. Few matches are gimmies in this sport, especially ones by bonus points, of course. But I'd still be surprised if Lilledahl did not win.

You have me pegged pretty well. Maybe I get the Nervous Nellies from the lean times that I went through. I followed Penn State from the 60's. Wife and I could watch a women's volleyball match Friday night, stay over, walk up to Rec Hall and buy tickets for the wrestling match the next day.

Good grief. Teemer is 7 years removed from high school. So, he must be at least 25 yrs old. Kasak is just turning 20.

Is it going to be a quick destruction or is going to toy with his food awhile?

I think there might be another ‘upset’ but will see the response (/ right the ship?) at Big 10’s and NCAA’s.

Our neighbors invited us to dinner tonight so I told my wife that I wanna be home NO LATER THAN 6:50PM. She reminded me that the neighbors have twin 5-year olds and bedtime is 7-7:30 - so I should be okay. Can’t wait!
