Hello I suck and just saw this. What’s going on and what do you guys need from me!
Were you in Tulsa ?My biggest concern is that if we wrestle like we did at Big 12s it's going to be a rough weekend. We have to step it up a level or by Friday afternoon we'll be left with just one or two guys and nobody except maybe Miklus left on Saturday morning. Given where we are at in the brackets and what the matchups are there's just a tiny difference between a terrible tournament and a really good one. If guys like Parker and Gomez just get one extra TD in a key match that could be the difference between being done Friday morning and being AAs.

I think this is 100% correct. However, I’d caution that barring a complete meltdown at NCAAs, this season is still a roaring success.Our best wins at Big 12s were against #16 seeds and we lost every single match we had against AA caliber opponents.
- Gomez needed OT to beat the #16 seed and lost 2-6 to the #12 seed
- Parker lost 4-8 to the #9 seed and 0-2 to the #4 seed
- Degen beat the #16 seed 11-10 and lost 5-6 to the #7 seed
- Colbray beat the #18 seed 5-2 and lost 1-4 to the #6 seed
- Miklus beat the #16 seed 6-0 and lost 0-10 to the #3 seed
So yeah, we need to step it up from Big 12s. If we wrestle like that we don't get anybody except maybe Miklus past the blood round. This team could have 5 AAs and a top ten finish (Which is what I'm hoping to see) but it also could have no AAs and not crack the top 30. And the difference between those two finishes isn't very much. All five of those guys can beat AA caliber guys but they also can lose to them. This weekend is a real test for the team and the coaches. Friday is going to be a wild ride.
Gremmel now has #8 Thomas from Pitt in round one
Tried to PM you but couldn't . Again, I agree with you and looking at the post I see how you took it the other way. My apologies.Our best wins at Big 12s were against #16 seeds and we lost every single match we had against AA caliber opponents.

- Parker lost 4-8 to the #9 seed and 0-2 to the #4 seed

GameDay!
GameDay!
Not sure how many here subscribe to Flo but they had the scoring breakdown based on seeding. They had ISU with 20 points and placing 21-22 (something like that). So to Grapple Cys point if we don’t wrestle better than the Big 12s we have one AA and not much happening on the backside.
Excited to see how things play out. KD has squeezed a lot out of this team. Can he get a little more?!?
If we wrestle to seed
125: 1-2, 0.5 team points
133: 2-2, 1.5 team points
141: 1-2, 0.5 team points
149: 3-3, 5.5 team points
157: 1-2, 0.5 team points
174: 1-2, 0.5 team points
184: 3-2, 2 team points
197: 4-3, 9 team points
HWT: 0-2, 0 team points
20 team points, plus any bonus we might get.
