Pessimism appears to be where some people are most comfortable. Personally, I feel like Dresser and the current organization have shown that they are creating the stability and environment needed for a sustainable and successful program that should be promoting more optimism among the fan base... -

***Southern Scuffle (Jan. 1-2, Chattanooga)***
I like this idea on the surface. Would be interesting to see what angle a coach would take on this. Would it discourage competing at tournaments? Can't really apply it to duals, but I'm not sure if that matters. -

***Soldier Salute (Dec. 29-30, Coralville)***
I am assuming the proceeds go to support military veterans, which is obviously great. Northwestern screwed up falling into the pandemic panic as late as Dec 2021 when they cancelled a second time. That all being said, Midlands has been the best tournament in the Midwest and it only hurts the... -

***#7 Iowa State at #2 Iowa (Sunday, 1:30)***
We have won 4 matches. Hopefully Yonger can get us 5. Close loss by Swiderski. So, yeah, they aren't lying down for Iowa and this is their A team with Brands, Lee and Woods all competing. -

I believe he was there a couple years. Resigned from the job in 2020. -

Is John Smith
From what I have been reading, there has been claims of troubling behavior reported to Smith and they never got a response back. I believe the biggest question will be if that information was passed on to the appropriate authorities. If not, then he is definitely in trouble. -

***#5 Iowa State vs. Air Force (Saturday, noon)***
Great comeback by Terukina. He just kept coming after being down by 4. Big takedown with a second to go for the win. -

WrestleStat Rankings | Week 6 2022
I am curious what it is in the formula for the rankings that causes this to happen. Undefeated National Champion at that weight from the year before, better record in the past 3 years, beat OConnor this season. Is it bonus points scored that is impacting the ranking? -

Cy-Hawk Dual
I agree with this. If a fan's expectation this weekend is to beat the #1 team in the country, then you are setting yourself up for a disappointment even if Iowa needs to send out a bunch of backups. The reality is that team is stacked with a lot of depth due to the extra Covid eligibility and... -

WrestleStat Rankings | Week 2 2022
As time goes on these rankings improve with data, but if nothing else it is fun to see and a good way to compare wrestlers opponents and wins/losses. I appreciate your efforts Andegre. -

Factor in the grey shirts and that certainly appears like a very solid lineup for the future. Congrats to the coaches. -

Willie's NCAA's Crystal Ball Projections
I agree. If he could have beaten Parker, I would have thought he would have moved up in weight sooner and possibly still be in Ames. -

Transfer Portal in wrestling
I think he tends to be more accurate than given credit and is getting the scoop faster than Flo or Rok, but I agree I take any internet news with a touch of skepticism. -

Transfer Portal in wrestling
Pat Mineo reported they couldn't work out the Big 10 credit transfers to make it work out, so Cal Poly is the likely destination.
