Not sure if we win the Midlands?

But, ISU has improved its Rankings based on Today's performace. I see Long, Mueller, Ward and Burk moving up the Rankings. Before the year, I did not expect much production out of those (4), but now I think (3) of these kids could be AA.[/QUOT

+1

Completely agree, Ward and Burk have really stepped their skills up and are highly competitive at this point. Would like to see Ward continue his aggressiveness as he did against Keddy in the Iowa dual, he is at his best when the pace is high. Mueller has definitely improved and Long is living up to the hype. Very impressed by these four to this point, they aren't world-beaters, but they maximizing what they've got and definitely helping out the team.

I don't think all of those you've listed for Iowa are scoring . . ? They started the day with 7 and 2. Unless Kerr wasn't scoring. So they should be 3 and 5 . . ?

Still advantage to Iowa. But you have to win to get points.
Maybe I should stop posting anything.

The team score shows Iowa with 3 and 6 still. We have 4 and 4 -- which is actually 4 and 3 and 1.

Last I knew is he got into some trouble (more than one time) while at Iowa before the season, he may have also had an injury, but I think Brands basically showed him the door and he transferred from Iowa.

Mueller wins 6-2!!! That helps make-up for Fanthorpe's two losses...kind of.

perhaps, but true. we didn't have a great shot anyway, as they are going to be favored in most of their remaining matches.
I know, but with probably more than 50 points still out there for ISU/Iowa it's early to be a fat lady singing.
