***Rider Dual in Stephens 2:00PM on Sunday***
What I was trying to say or what I thought I said was that just 2 years ago we were beating those 'barely D1 schools' and beating the likes of UNI, Central Michigan and Wyoming and beating #4 Virginia Tech at the Virginia Duals and only losing to powerhouses (4 of 6 losses were to top 7 teams)... -

***Rider Dual in Stephens 2:00PM on Sunday***
Its still hard for me to wrap my head around how far we have fallen so fast. Just 2 years ago we finished in the top 15 for a 4th straight year, were 10-6 in duals wrestling a brutal schedule and even 11-2 in duals the year before that. Also kind of strange to think now how during that same 4... -

Lindenwood Open
Not sure if they've actually seeded the tourney 1-8, but from the brackets it looks like our seeds are: Parker 2, Simmons 5, Dante 5, Degen 8, Straw 4, DiBlasi 5, Brightenbach 6, Pestano 2, Colbray 5, Harrington 3, Gremmel 5 in Gold (Open) division. Like Cyclone Open not a lot of D1 individuals... -

Drexel review
Drexel a top 25 team last year? No, they tied for 53rd. Wrestlestat has them ranked 59th out of 77 D1 dual teams. They are most likely the weakest team we will see in a dual this year. The crowd and energy was great, the aggressiveness was good for the most part, but the overall result was piss... -

Drexel review
I like to see all of the positive comments, but that was bad! Historically bad considering Drexel is easliy in the bottom 25-30% of all Division 1 teams. I can only think of a few dual losses ever this bad...West Virginia last year and 2012 when we lost to Boston U and Army on the same day... -

The brackets are out! The brackets are out!!
I like the optimism but, I don't know, Clark looked really healthy in Big 10 final. He was physically right with Tomasello for 7 minutes. -

Post Mortem
Yeah I see a bit of a decline but the # of weight classes went from 10 up until 1996 to 8 (1997-2001) to 7 (2002-2013) and back to 8 (2014-2016). The math would be more accurate if you calculated medals per opportunity. Also consider in the 8 years since he left USA Wrestling we've won 16 medals... -

Downey has been kicked off ISU wrestling team
I actually think he did what his coaches wanted him/told him to do...Up until about a month ago, then he obviously he didn't, and he was kicked off the team. I hope its true that he's close to graduating and gets that done. We'll probably see him in MMA and/or some Senior level freestyle, but... -

Where is a P5 Wrestling Program Needed?
A lot of these schools mentioned had wrestling and dropped it, Clemson, UCLA, LSU, Syracuse, Washington, Kansas State. Would be great to see some of them come back like Fresno State did. -

image from Minnesota vs ISU Wrestling meet
Come on, that's a lame comment! Jackson had his share of success stories here. By popular opinion and his own admission, he didn't meet overall expectations. Let's leave it at that, no need to beat a dead horse.
