10:30 et dec.29. looks like 10 mats.Looks like both will be streaming on BIG+ Thursday/Friday.
Iowa st starters will be at the Scuffle . They list that on the official schedule. I believe they're sending guys up the road to the SaluteI was looking at the line-up for the Scuffle and Midlands. It appears Iowa State is entering both.
Unless they intend to send a partial team to the Scuffle, that seems a lot to ask.
I really enjoy your posts, James. ISU has quickly become my 2nd favorite team (after PSU, of course). David Carr is such a great kid and the whole team wrestles aggressively. Like Penn State, they all have different styles and Dresser has them competing really well. I think that they might be the best wrestling team in Iowa right now.I expect about 6-8 ISU guys at the scuffle. None of the banged up guys. I'm hoping Carr wrestles there.
IDK — I think Top 6 is attainable if Carr does his thing, Bastida has himself a tournament, and Coleman can put together a consistent 3 days at his higher end. Add Swiderski punishing some dudes in the consis, Johnson continuing to show he belongs, plus a few points from each of Schuyler and Terukina, and I can’t imagine ISU is not at least sniffing podium.Thank you for the kind words Petch. Iowa is still a little better than us but we are closing the gap. PSU is still quite a bit ahead of us and that is a tough gap to ever close. I do think we can go toe to toe in a dual with most any team and have already faced the 2 best. We have duals with ASU and Mizzu looming and could win or loose either of those. We probably aren't a top 6 tournament team yet, but Rome wan't built in a day.
Sounding like 10-12 guys to the Scuffle and nobody to the SaluteI expect about 6-8 ISU guys at the scuffle. None of the banged up guys. I'm hoping Carr wrestles there.
I'm with you there as well. Not sure we see Terukina, Swiderski or Schuyler yet .I hope you are right. I was told there would be three -four startrs not going at this point, but I like what you are hearing way better.
Will Spencer wrestle?
He came up gimpy after his match with Rocky. But the fact Swafford is unattached makes me think it's not super serious.No brands?
Is he the future at that weight ? Why not start him for just this tournament?He came up gimpy after his match with Rocky. But the fact Swafford is unattached makes me think it's not super serious.
He was junior transfer from a NAIA school. I think he had 3 to wrestle 2 when he transferred in 2021-2022.Is he the future at that weight ? Why not start him for just this tournament?

I forgot the whole fiasco but he apparently burned his redshirt at the Scuffle last year and was supposed to be wrestling duals but never did (Kemerer returned and didn't miss a single one) He's younger than Nelson but makes sense to hang onto his eligibility if you can.
Ut oh....Midlands brackets are out. Pat Glory is going 133 and Quincy Monday is wrestling 165
That's really weird. Any other recent top-ranked wrestlers going up a weight during the season? Just too much holiday food? Don't care about this tournament?Midlands brackets are out. Pat Glory is going 133 and Quincy Monday is wrestling 165
Yep I guess he's back to a solid 50%.Didn’t Mineo call the Princeton Gloryhole a couple weeks ago?
Glory not wrestling 133 or any other weight at Midlands. Scratched.Midlands brackets are out. Pat Glory is going 133 and Quincy Monday is wrestling 165
First year tourneys don’t bring in top teams year one. Let’s give it a few years and see what happens.So the Soldier Statue tournament is basically an intrasquad meet for the Hawkeyes?
Especially tournaments scheduled when the 2 most prestigious regular season tournaments take place. If you are going to wrestle your starters in a holiday tournament, I’d expect Midlands or the Scuffle to be the call. Iowa choosing this week either shows complete lack of awareness or intelligence on the Hobbits part. Take your pick. (I say both)First year tourneys don’t bring in top teams year one.

Or maybe Midlands cancelling last year for no good reason when every other tournament went off without a hitch. Kind of screwed over those teams so they decided to start their own.Especially tournaments scheduled when the 2 most prestigious regular season tournaments take place.

Let me call Tom and ask. I will get back to you when he responds.If you are mad at Midlands, you go to the other big tournament, the Scuffle. So please tell me, why are they mad at the Southern Scuffle?
It seems to have been a thing for quite a few years. Iowa only wrestles the best competition when they think they can crush them. Their schedule always seems weak except for their dual schedule. I do not know if it is a constant attempt to build the guys confidence, or they think their room is good enough to build better wrestlers or what it is.If you are mad at Midlands, you go to the other big tournament, the Scuffle.

Glory should find a moisturizer. Seems like he’s always scratching.Glory not wrestling 133 or any other weight at Midlands. Scratched.
