Midlands Tournament Thread

Sorry 2 my fans ?? ...........Chortle Chortle. Does he have mirrors on every wall? Will he be wearing sunglasses when he wrestles? Will he ever get out of the "wait" room
 
My guess would be Brands, how in heck can any one
expect him to be in shape when he has not been working
out and doing his study work to complete 21 credits. He
will get enough bashing when he does go as he is now and
still has not step on the mat..Makes a lot conversation is all.

Lol at you still believing he will ever wrestle for Iowa.
 
Brackets are out (except not yet HWT):
http://news.theopenmat.com/college-wrestling-news/2017-midlands-championships-brackets/65482

Berge unseeded at 157, draws the always difficult Bye in round 1, then Velliquette (Penn), then probably Shomers (Edinboro) in the quarters, then Kemdog semis, then Shields finals. (That's the path anyway.) Not a bad draw to make the podium.

A couple highlights:
Lee 10, opposite from Whatshisname, will face Russell and Bresser first.

149 - Sorensen vs. Tsirtsis in the semis. Bottom half quarters Oliver vs. Maruca or Lugo, Kolodzik vs. Deakin.

165 - Marinelli vs. PD3 Jr Lewis in the semis.

174 - Labriola got the 2 seed.

184 - Gravina got the 1 seed. His reward: semis vs. unseeded (!) Nate Jackson.
 
HWT now loaded. Stoll gets Dhesi in the semis, Sasquatch in the finals.

Deakin vs Sorenson is a match that has some serious potential. During and post.

Or that is the path anyway. It will be interesting to see what Sam does with kids of similar size with the athletic skill set that allows them to wrestle.
 
A. Valencia getting #1 seed helps out Arizona St in team race. He should be in finals.

184 has since been updated. Nate Jackson is 1 seed and Gravina is now 2.

That makes more sense. I assume the first posting was a result of the shock, finding out the one true and by miles the most important story of this year's Midlands tourney Pat Downey The Third would be somewhere else.
 
When’s the last time Iowa had 5 weights that were seeded lower than the 8th spot at Midlands?

Before I was born ;)
 
I was just on the “live” brackets on Track and I do not see Brady anymore... is Track the official scorer for today as it is not on Flo Arena

It it's on track then they are actually running the tournament scoring so I guess he dropped out for some reason. To bad, I really wanted to see how he would do.

Bummer about Berge. At 184, who would you take in the potential Geer/Bonaccorsi matchup? Tough draw for Bulsak, but maybe he can pull a big upset over Gravina.
 
anyone else have issues with the flo feed? I got a lot of buffering and then its timing out saying the feed is ended.
 
I see S Lee only got a #10 seed, but at least he's on the other side of the draw from #1 Suriano. I also note that Berge was placed in the 157 draw yesterday, but isn't in it today. Does anyone know why he seems to have withdrawn?
 
Lee wins by fall .... wore a huge knee brace

Personally, i dont think one should be able to wrestle wearing something that large on the legs or arms

It’s working fine for me...

Working fine for me because I am using BTN Plus, NOT Flo. I almost never have problems with BTN Plus, but can't remember a single time using Flo I didn't have a problem. Hence the reason I cancelled them.

I questioned the size of that brace as well. As excellent as Suriano is a wrestler he has zero top game compared to Spencer....
 
But is he? A good villain goes out and wins.

Or at the very least shows up. I'll take my villains like Gilman. Talks sh**, wears the black hat, but he lays it all on the line on the mat. Win some lose some but compete. PD3 is a clown shoe who has more excuses than PD2 has standing offers to fight anonymous internet tough guys.
 
anyone who enjoys b!tching at the man......call BTN and give them a piece of your mind that the midlands finals wont be televised live.....

Hate to see Berge as a late scratch. I'm guessing I won't get to see him wrestle this year. Kind of like Joseph's redshirt year.
