I took it he meant Iowa fans like making things up. Maybe I'm wrong.
National Duals, '25, thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I was surprised at their lower finish last year. They got some really good guys.
In their teeny weeny little minds they believe the **** everybody else knows is made up bullshyt.
As impressive as ohio state has been, nebraska yikes
Nebraska was corn husked!
Everyone knew about Davino, who always figured to displace Bouzakis at 133. What wasn't obvious was that Bouzakis could be effective at 125. In fact, the jury is still out on that over the course of a 4-month season.
Also, for a while most folks figured that the oft-injured Kharchla would not be back for 2025-26.
Canon came on at end of last season, so him doing well isn't a surprise. And, as noted before, Fishback is a nice transfer addition at 184, but didn't move the needle like some of the other transfers (Facundo, Ryder, Welch, Bailey, Ferrari, etc).
Most of the other starters (Mendez, Gallagher, Feldman) were known entities.
I’ll look forward to the Smalls tweet asking WTH is going on in Lincoln.
what's up with Ryder did he score all his points for the yr in the all star match??
Also, is anyone doing a play by play? Can't watch because someone I know enjoys planning my life for me. Lol
PSU losses 1 in 2027. 2028 on could be closer. I would love to see at least 5 teams in it + PSU: Iowa, tOSU, OSU, VT, Neb, and maybe Cornell. Who else? IS, NCS. Mind you, I want PSU to win 8 in a row. But closer is better for the broader college wretling fan base.
So who wins later today? Iowa or tOSU?
Endene is 3-0 in this event with a fall over #15 Bates and a 4-3 dub over #10 Merrill. I like seeing the former D3 champ having success at D1.
So get off the couch and do some vacuuming, dear!
FYI for those with YouTube TV.... not sure when but looks like they settled their dispute with Disney/ESPN and you can watch the match tonight.
I’m two hours from home. Will I get there in time?
Every now and then you spot a guy at the lower levels that you know would be a tough out for just about anyone. I wish Joey Davis gave D1 a go a few years back. @Corby2 any reason the kid from GV that made the u23 word team hasn’t gone D1?
Not sure. But if tOSU wins, Ryan will put the National Dual Championship plaque right next to the Kollin Moore and Luke Pletcher’s phantom championship plaques.
Had a Vega in the 70’s. Drunk driver hit
Me head on, thankfully at a relatively slow speed. Engine came right through the fire wall and burned my leg. Head went 1/2 through the windshield, … so it was a bit like getting stretched out by Zain. They cut me out and hauled me off to a brand new hospital … where they had piped the emergency room gases improperly. Instead of oxygen they fed me nitrous oxide which gave me a blue hue. Luckily, I was soon move to the OR where the gases were piped properly. Every time I hear the word Vega …. I think about that cheap *** piece of junk.
The upper tier of 184 this year is very impressive. And the great news for us wrestling fans is that four in that tier are only freshmen or sophomores. I am placing Sinclair in that upper tier, but not Ryder after this weekend's results.

Allred is big and strong- which is also ryders skillet … still a freshman figuring it out - and Allred is a multiple time AA … Ryder will end up as an AA this year - glad we have Rocco
Ryder is not big. His length or lack of will hurt him when he can’t bully D1 wrestlers with an under hook and one move. He will need to improve greatly to AA. Far from a sure thing
Agreed - I was referring to strength and trying to outmuscle people - Allred is hard to out horsepower
He looked incredible against a guy that lost to JV Gabe Arnold and Issac Dean last year .. outside of that all star match all of Ryder college matches against NQ level guys have been exactly the same. Low scoring 1 takedown matches struggling to score
Allred is a one time 7th place finisher… he is a 6th year grown man though.. very glad we have Rocco , 184 looks like a gauntlet this year
Yep, just check and it’s on ESPN 2. Thanks for the heads up.
So who’s everyone got?
I got tOSU
Bouzakis Dec Peterson
Davino Dec Ayala
Mendez Dec Bailey
Stiles Dec Block
Cannon dec Williams
Caliendo md Gallagher
Karchla Dec Kennedy
Ferrari Dec Fishback
Endene Dec Shumate
