Iowa Week
- Thread starter Judoka
- Start date
141 is a bit meh for them but he's been to nationals and won matches. More accomplished than Meeks. That's why I think on paper you have to go with Dziewa.
My take is whomever ends up at 149 for them will be pretty tough. They have an NCAA qualifier and match winner here, who beat the top 4 finishers from last season during the season, and he may not even be their starter. It wouldn't be some sort of crazy upset but I have to lean in Iowa's direction.
157 is a match we can very well win.
At 184, though we are pretty decent there I think Brooks is a stud. Very accomplished wrestler.
It depends on the score. If we are out of it come HWT he needs to focus on getting better and winning, for himself.
Ill take a stab..

Well, it officially isn't going to be on BTN

Given that there are football games that day I wasn't expecting it to be on BTN proper, but that is crap that it isn't even on BTN Plus. Too bad they can't just put it on Cyclones.TV or even just IPTV due to TV rights.

In the past, Mediacom secured the rights after the BTN passed. IPTV hasn't shown college wrestling in two years. They are basically done showing college wrestling due to the BTN, Mediacom and their recent cost cutting.

They did a few D-III events in 2012, but that's the last of it. The Hawks sold their rights to BTN, ISU reserved their rights for Cyclones.TV, and the state championships moved over to other channels. Didn't leave them much to broadcast.
I wonder who Iowa s going to put out there at 149 and 157. At 149 Grothus beat Sorenson head to head at the Luther open, but Sorenson placed higher than him at the tournament they went to last weekend. And Goettl beat Kelly last year, so will Brands bump one of them (or Cooper) up to 157 to take on Goettl?
Meet got added to the BTN2Go schedule and Mediacom!

I think that's a fair place to put 174 on the list of upsets. Weatherman has lost 10-1 to Evans each of the past two years, which is why he's behind the others even though he's ranked 6th. But he's also a really talented wrestler who has some of the best offense of anyone in the country when he's "on". If he and the coaches figure out a way to get through Evan's defense he could get the upset. I'd put it at like a 10% chance, but that's more than I'd give us at 125 or HWT.
