Another Top Wrestling Commitment
Interesting pickups. They are both great wrestlers in the 174 range (3A and 2A) and England lost to BROCK Weatherman in the championships - all three seniors (hmm). That's alot of committed talent in this area already and sorta makes you wonder about Brock Weatherman's plans. -

Conference Qualifier Numbers Announced
Now that's apples to oranges - The Big 10 has 6 285lbers in the top "28" and 2 of those are somewhere between 20-28th with a combined 24 losses. I'd say 5 Big 10 automatics is very generous. "The Big Ten could have the 9th ranked guy sitting at home" What?! - the 9th ranked guy is about as... -

Conference Qualifier Numbers Announced
I understand that and that the RPI is what is hurting us at 174 but all stats aside McSpadden(currently 13th) or Burk(currently 17th) not getting in at 174 and MU's Hynes(currently 26th) or MSU's Jones(currently 27th) or Ballweg(currently no where) finding a way at 157 because of a generous... -

Conference Qualifier Numbers Announced
How does the Big 10 pre-qualify 7 wrestlers at 157 with only 1 (Peota) in the "rankings top 10" and 0 in the "rpi top 10" at that weight? :skeptical: That being said if Burk doesn't get in @'74 and Ballweg does @ '57 something's wrong with the formula! -

ISU/Iowa thread?!?
Mr. Miller - I gotta agree the Varner comment was just not informed and shows a lack of wrestling knowledge on your part if not your one-sidedness, he would major or better Beatty as well as Lofthouse if they actually get off their belly. It was beyond the hypocracy of the normal "home team"... -

Cyclones vs. Hawkeyes this Saturday
Big Z beat Erekson by 2 pts at Harold Nichols last year. He and Varner must wrestle like the heavy favorites they are. If they do I think the winner of 141 lbs. decides the meet! -

Cyclones vs. Hawkeyes this Saturday
Re: clones vs. hox this saturday There has to be at least 30 pts. scored and I'm pretty sure there will be some bonus pts scored by both teams. If Dennis is at 133 we are actually favored at 6 of 10 weights. So much for "on paper stats," going in to Carver will be tough - ISU 20, UI 19... -

Iowa State vs. Iowa...who's better?
I believe this is right on target, with the exception that Reader, Varner or Z will pick up the two more points we will need. -

Iowa State vs. Iowa...who's better?
Right now it looks like Ballweg, Dennis, and Tsirtsis. Kinda funny about Slaton....#1 in the country and #2 in the wrestling room! -

Iowa State vs. Iowa...who's better?
Beatty's at the same weight he was last year - 197. He has beefed up but...? They also have ?? at 157/165 and at Heavy. ISU on the other hand lost Bertilino and basically replaced him with Ward, everywhere else we're more experienced and ready to go. Let's not forget last year was also a... -

Grapplers open season
ISU is favored in 5 not 4. Despite losing to LeClere twice last year every poll I've seen has Gallick at or near #2 while LeClere is around #10. Their bonus points are equally countered by us at 197 and 157/165 (if not HVY). Jeez people - you gotta believe! -

Grapplers open season
What is this crap? I'll guarantee nobody in the cyclone wrestling room agrees with this. Overall we have higher ranked and better wrestlers - despite being #2. What we don't have is Iowa's reputation. We should win the dual and our chances (not history) at the national tournament are better... -

Just wondering if anyone knows when wrestle-offs will be held. -

Intermat Preseason Rankings
A lot of heavys get bonus points when mismatched (ex. - #2 vs. unranked). My point was that these rankings would indicate more mismatches in Cyclones favor -those being 165 197 and Hvy for us and 184 for UI. As far as nationals go the problem seems to have been just keeping our guys... -

Intermat Preseason Rankings
LeClere was (about two weeks ago) wearing a knee brace and limping around. Could be his turn for a red-shirt. Please - Moore is very talented but arguably no better than Clark or many of the other 125lbers who have found the D1 road tough - let's give the H.S. to D1 transition a little more... -

Intermat Preseason Rankings
It won't take Ward long to crack the top 20 at 184 rankings, he's a very talented wrestler although 184 is our weakest link. Curran could surprise people though and I suspect provide as much competition as Ward wants for the starting role. No beatdowns this year - it will be close! These... -

Ricky Lundell
He doesn't appear to have long to work on it as he is listed as a senior. Just curious. I would love to see how competitive those skills make him against a much faster-paced Mueller.
