Just a horrendous ending to this tournament. i don't know why it is that varner doesn't take control of these matches and put the guy away. The kid got lucky with a reverse and he didn't leave himself enough time to score. Just an awful way to finish off.
I just want to go puke. I was so pumped up at 7:00, now I just want to go to bed and not get up at all tomorrow. I can not imagine what that bus trip back will be like for the team.
Well, even though ISU completely blew this thing...again, there are still a lot of positives.
ISU had Iowa beat and chocked, this shouldn't happen at nationals. Iowa will have fewer points at nationals too, due to scoring at 2 weights. Winning would have been great, but honestly, no one remembers Midlands. It is just another step towards March.
The biggest problem from this tournament is Burk. Losing him for 6 weeks is gonna hurt.

Not a bad showing at all. Again, a lot of positive and motivation for the wrestling room. Not having a 1st place winner is disappointing, but Gallick did awesome. He had to win 9, that's right 9 matches to get 3rd place, really disappointing huh?:skeptical: Ward had a great tournament too.

Losing to Bono is not a bad thing at all...yes the guy is old as dirt, but he was a tough wrestler and I would be surprised to see many people in that weight beat him any year. He is good
Set time aside to go to a sports bar and watch the finals; we stunck and I'm in big trouble! Takeaways: Metcalf the best since Cael(maybe better), Gotta get the first takedown(were both timid and week)! WE still suck on our feet. Bono /Cyler match was great! ISU wrestling for second.....
So what is going on is Brands still has is VT crew and we are still building.
Right now we are the Wes Mantooth of College wrestling to Iowa. I don't think it will last long, but who knows....
