FRL is "reporting" that Michigan is looking for a match on Sunday. Is it possible that our match could be scheduled for then? Too logical or is this FLO just talking rumors?
Not BS I heard rumblings of it yesterday.FRL is "reporting" that Michigan is looking for a match on Sunday. Is it possible that our match could be scheduled for then? Too logical or is this FLO just talking rumors?
That’s three words.I just want to hear two words: "It's on"
Cael has said that his code phrase to indicate success will be two words. In particular, whenever Cael is speaking, keep your ears peeled for him to casually slip in the secret signal:I just want to hear two words: "It's on"
Would be interesting to see what lineups would take the mat. Would we see Micic or Myles?
Any info on that tweet that he’d be going 197?No Micic.
Myles in.

Heck the big ten does not need to organize anything. They should just give there blessing and let the schools do their thing.This whole process just amazes me, should be pretty simple, Michigan knows our match was postponed, if they are free the Big Ten should already be organizing it.
While I agree with you wholeheartedly they are 'supposed' to be in charge of scheduling, right? How hard is it to match up two, or three teams that all have postponed meets and an open date? It is not rocket science. And no fans to worry about, heck, have it at the Ramada if they need a venue!!Heck the big ten does need to organize anything. They should just give there blessing and let the schools do their thing.
The B in Big ten stands for bureaucracy and it can suck the life out sports
Learned something today. Had thought the B stood for BoAndWoody.The B in Big ten stands for bureaucracy and it can suck the life out sports
Enjoyed just a bit of schadenfreude when, after crying for months from Buckeye Nation about not cheating their team of destiny, and the Big doing everything to bend the rules for them, they got what they wanted.Learned something today. Had thought the B stood for BoAndWoody.
He's probably dangling from a tree in the middle of the forest in his brand new harness!@pawrestlersintn appears to be asleep at the wheel today.

I'd like to see Howard against Michigans stud freshman. Did these two ever wrestle in HS?
Amine is going to get big brothered at 197. Maybe not by beard but I can't wait to see it at NCAA's.

Who exactly is gonna do that?Amine is going to get big brothered at 197. Maybe not by beard but I can't wait to see it at NCAA's.
Yeah, Amine is a CLEAR front runner at 197, I'd say. Adams and Schultz are good, for sure, but...Who exactly is gonna do that?
Since Nov 2017, Amine faced Mark and Zahid 8x. Worst loss was by 2 pts.
I don't see anybody close to their abilities at 197. And Amine was at 86 kg / 189 lb freestyle this year, so he shouldn't be too light.
... and Adams lost over the weekend. The kid from Wyoming who beat him, got pinned in his next match.Yeah, Amine is a CLEAR front runner at 197, I'd say. Adams and Schultz are good, for sure, but...

Sloan looks good too.
Still, the weight is ripe for the picking.
Everybody else from WVU who should've won, did.Living at a higher altitude than the Wyoming campus, I’m guessing that if the match had been at WVU, there would have been a different outcome. The Wyoming kid probably has a hematocrit level 5-10% higher than Adams.

The Mountaineers don't hunt or wrestle at sea level.Perhaps by not as much as they would have at low altitude.

Per Wikipedia, the highest point in Charleston, WV is 1,167ft MSL. Let's assume that their wrestling complex is not at the absolute highest point in town, and round down to 1,000ft MSL.
At 1,000ft MSL, an athlete would have 99% of their maximum aerobic power that they would have at sea level. Effectively sea level.
At 7,000ft MSL, that same athlete would have 86.5% of their maximum aerobic power, if not acclimated to that altitude. Acclimatization usually takes 3-4 weeks, per most scientific literature on the topic. Even when acclimated, they'd have about 91% of their sea-level ability.
This is a sub-field of physiology that gets quite a bit of attention from academia, the DoD, etc. There's a reason that professional endurance athletes do high-altitude training camps prior to key events; they raise their blood values and increase their aerobic capacity.
