Duals this week (Utah Valley/Pitt)

[JM4CY]

Wait what happened with the heavyweight forfeit?

Guy took one look at Yonger and said “Fuuuuuuuuuuuck that.” And walked away.

 

[iastatefan1]

They forfeited to yonger. I had a sad face because we didn't get to see him wrestle.

 

[ABECyguy]

Yeah Yonger is maybe my favorite one to watch so I was disappointed to wait through Broderson only to get no Yonger

 

[TheJackWePack5]

Bummed about Brodersons match. You could see the disappointment on him when Bockman got the TD.

Guy needs a ranked W.

Man do I miss living in Ames. Wish the could have a dual at NC State sometime.

IMO a yearly trip to Raleigh makes a ton of sense you can wrestle NC State on Fri and have an afternoon dual with Carolina/Duke/Campbell all within 1 hour of RDU airport.

****. Completely forgot about the time change. Result seems like what I would have expected, as in not much more than a warm up for most guys, but I still would have liked to have watched.

If you list Iowa State in your favorites it should be pretty easy to find tomorrow.

Many moons ago, when wrestling Nationals were held in Ames, we would host about 10-12 wrestling folks - it was awesome.

I went to HS at East High in Des Moines. He was older than me, but I’m sure people on here in the DSM area remember Jermaine Reed. Better known as one of the baddest mother ******* in Iowa in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Was an unbelievable running back. So good, we had coaches like Lou Holtz and Bobby Bowden visiting, but I digress.

The reason I bring it up is because Jermaine also wrestled. East had robes, a la Iowa State, back in the day. He came out for his match one evening, took off his rob, and the kid he was supposed to wrestle…who was out there waiting…forfeited on the spot. It was awesome.

 

[Cycsk]

It was eerily quiet in Hilton tonight. I counted nearly 100 on the south side and we had probably twice that on the north side.

The crowd was the loudest all night when Yonger came out in his singlet to accept the forfeit.

Always good to hear from a fellow DM east alum. Before my time though.

I wonder how bad this will hurt our attendance records. ISU is usually top 3 to 5

won’t they still count season ticket sales in the numbers ?

I really want Broderson to do well...but gall darnit...he has to want it too!

They will count sold tics. There was no tics scanned tonight so no way to report a sold vs actual attendance.

Do season tickets count in attendance?

Apparently official is 4,151.

 

[4xcy]

Anyone know if Nando is available? Didn't know if he was injured or what.

Don’t worry.

4,394 for Davidson
14,267 for Iowa

Even if no one showed up for the other 4 duals, we’d still be close to top 5 with average attendance of 3,200+.

I see official attendance for tonight is 4,151. Again, if no one attended West Virginia, UNI, and Missouri, we’re still at 3,800+ average attendance. That would have been ~6th last season.

Iowa State has been drawing very well the last few years and I expect we’ll see a high average again this year (maybe > 7,000?) - most likely 3rd behind Iowa and Penn State.

I was hoping we could pull ahead of PSU and get 2nd.... building to 1st place

Utah Valley apparently couldn’t make it across 20 to get to cedar falls. Their dual with uni was just cancelled
