    I spoke with a couple ISU wrestlers

    Here is my story. Selected passage from David Zabriskie, who said he pretty much found out about it on the forums: He didn’t think Sanderson interviewing “was such a big deal, but then I haven’t heard anything in like a day.” “I’m nervous,” he added. “But I haven’t heard anything either way.”...

    Justin Wren

    Update: Zak Jensen backed out of the fight -- on Thursday, I believe. The guy Wren's fighting tonight is supposedly a brawler, and is somewhere around 6'0-6'1, 235 pounds with a 3-5 record. Wren found out yesterday, and mentioned that there's talk that Jensen will face some sort of punishment...

    Justin Wren

    The former Iowa State wrestling recruit is fighting at Hilton this Saturday. I wrote a story about him that was in the Daily yesterday. http://tinyurl.com/cu8rdv I did a video interview with him as well. http://tinyurl.com/cuatrd Grant Turner, who had a good year as a Grand View assistant...

    Friday Night - Session 4

    Towards the bottom of my story, I explain the potential points scoring potential of each team, and the matchups for Ohio State, Iowa, Iowa State and Nebraska are listed: NCAA WRESTLING TOURNAMENT: Slim chance exists for Cyclones to win NCAA title Excuse a couple small typos in the story, I...

    NCAA Tournament Wrestling Brackets

    Yeah, the seeding always favors the most recent results. Quick thoughts: -Mitch Mueller (149), Cyler Sanderson (157), Duke Burk (174) and Jerome Ward (184) will have a hard time staying in the championship bracket past Thursday night. -Nick Gallick (141) has wrestled and beaten Cleveland and...

    are out. As expected, most of the ISU matmen have tough draws.

    Conference Qualifier Numbers Announced

    I just asked Burk and Cael if they had found out whether Burk was in or not. They didn't know yet.

    Okay, lets hear your spring break plans

    Homework then the NCAA Wrestling Tournament. Plug: check IowaStateDaily.com for updates. I'll put up scores and recaps of ISU matches ASAP. For everyone that's interested, by the way, Cael nor Duke Burk don't yet know if Burk qualified.

    Conference Qualifier Numbers Announced

    Burk's chances seem pretty good to me. They've got to find 52 guys who didn't make the grade at their tournaments. You've got a guy who is top-20 in ranking, coaches and media. And he wrestles for a high-profile university for a high-profile coach, who may very well get a favor because of who he is.

    Conference Qualifier Numbers Announced

    Burk has qualified for NCAAs twice. He got pinned in the second round by Varner in 2007, I believe. Cael said this after the tournament: "If the purpose of the committee is to get the best kids, then he should absolutely go, because he’s one of the top 15 currently ranked [Actually he's...

    Offical Big12 Championship thread

    Remaining ISU consolations: Sanderson v. Neil Erisman Reader v. Brandon Mason Burk is done.... It's a shame it ended how it did: McSpadden got into some sort of side mount while Burk still had a hold of his leg. Nothing really changed, but they gave McSpadden the takedown. The thing about Burk...

    Athletic department confirms DC hire

    My bad... scanned the first few pages of the other thread and didn't see any confirmation by the athletic department.

    #2 Iowa State @ #5 Missouri

    Minnesota's young but real solid in the lower weights. Looks to be a close dual Friday night. By the way, why isn't this on Mediacom right now? The Duke-BC basketball game is on Fox Sports Midwest right now. Supposedly the wrestling meet was supposed to be playing on tape-delay right now.

    #2 Iowa State @ #5 Missouri

    Cleveland spanked Hoehn last year too. I thought there might be some transitive power out of all that, but hey... By the way, anyone watch the Iowa-Minnesota dual? Keddy got pushed to the brink Minnesota's new 84-pounder. I tuned it halfway through. Morningstar and Borschel looked pretty tough.

    #2 Iowa State @ #5 Missouri

    Anybody else suprised at this result? Cyler beat Chandler, 9-5, at Midlands, which I was unable to see. Gallick had been on a roll - 15 or 16 match winning streak.

    #2 Iowa State @ #5 Missouri

    Here's a story I wrote about Zabriskie this week. The Lore of Z There's a couple of writing dumb mistakes in there, but there's some good info. I wanted to write a bigger story, but we didn't have enough space in the paper. Some of the things I left out, but I might try to put up somewhere [I've...

    #2 Iowa State @ #5 Missouri

    I think he was hurt, because they've been planning on going with Ellis. No confirmed story on that, though. I don't know if Takedown Radio had anything on that, but I couldn't tune in on Friday. Their wrestle-offs have been competitive from what I've heard.

    #2 Iowa State @ #5 Missouri

    Seeding guesses anybody? The only guy I can think of that might won't get a top-3 Big 12 seed will be Duke Burk. Fanthorpe might get stuck in the fourth- or fifth-seed, since he hasn't finished a conference match - other than the National Duals win over Nebraska's Vacanti. Mueller is 3-1 in the...
