Rotate it between the actual big 12 schools

BCClone, you must be like me. I love me the big 8 days in FB, BB and Wrestling.

Crap. I’m too old I guess.

 

[Cyforce]

Rotate it between the actual big 12 schools

Stillwater, Morgantown, Ames and Tempe. Did I miss anywhere?

BIG 12 FUCKEN CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!! LFG!!!!!!

Just watch how Yonger reacts to Hendrickson’s attempted trip here. Took a position that should be been trouble for Yonger and flipped the script. I bet Hendrickson finishes this 999 times out of 1,000 against anyone else:

So the camera showed some random couple in the stands and I think they called them his parents. He then proceeded to get asked in the interview about his parents in Cuba. What am I missing here?

He lived with that family upon coming to Iowa

The announcer had to go, WTF, who said they were his parents they look too old and too white to be his parents.

Hilton coliseum sounds like a great option

It was in Hilton 10 years or so ago. Not sure exactly but I remember going.

 

[Cyclonewrestlingfan2022]

Listening to yongers post game today. I cried knowing he hasn’t seen his family in so long and what he has done to this program is incredible. Coming in from Cuba speaking no English and he has a season like this. Yonger is an absolute beast! Couldn’t be more happy for a guy like that!!

 

[Lyon309Cy]

I wasn't able to watch, so thanks everyone for the updates. Awesome to be able to win without having everything go our way, and in fact being straight up screwed out of some matches. Sucks in the moment, but encouraging to see how Casey and MJ responded, and also nice to have enough margin to overcome Stallwater home cooking.
Do they award a Most Outstanding Performer? Fix, KOT, Keck, and Yonger all have an argument.

 

[cytor]

Where does it go though?

Des Moines is booked with high school basketball

KC is booked with Big 12 basketball

StL is booked with Valley basketball

There isn't a great option out there.

Omaha?

Downey still waddling back to center

 

[ISU_Cyclones]

So happy for Yonger, he should get the 1 seed. Should be sending 9 to nationals, I have to assume Feldkamp get's an at large but I guess I can't say for sure. David's was sure disappointing but you can't count him out of anything, I think he gets the 3 seed now and we see another round of O'toole vs Carr. I have to hope David comes in with a better gameplan this time.

 

[Finisher]

Was interesting to me that Yonger didn’t commit to many leg attacks. Not like him at all. Was that the game plan out of respect for Hendrickson’s counters?

Game plan had to be wrestle a close match and get a clean shot if it was there. Turns out yonger is just better.

I know OSU is down, but there couldn’t have been 2k people there at the end tonight. Why can’t we rotate this thing around???

You need a city that wants it, a suitable venue and amenities, and a local committee who'll outdo Tulsa when it comes to greasing the wheels (or palms).

Could Des Moines do it? Maybe, but WFA is in use through Friday night.

I wonder if Kansas City could/would do it at Municipal. Imagine going to the WBB tournament Saturday morning in T-Mobile, grabbing a few beers at P&L, then walking over to Municipal for the Saturday night semifinals. And then Sunday would only be wrestling due to the hoops off-day.

CFTV: Anthony Echemendia and Yonger Bastida talk about earning becoming Big 12 Championships

Anthony Echemendia and Yonger Bastida made a come true when they became Big 12 Champions at their respective weights. Listen to what they had to say as they got off the mat. https://youtu.be/PfF9FXg_yXQ https://youtu.be/mNaXbN4UmAg

Interviews with Echemendia and Bastida.

 

[CyNews]

I can’t speak for everyone else, but I think we’re all just super disappointed for David. We’re so invested in his success that the emotions after that match may have a few of us overreacting (myself included). It’s sucks to watch David lose to him the last two times.

Gable losing back in the day led to the team and crowd crushing it for ISU.

 

[JM4CY]

God damn it, why did they have to use THAT Cy logo.

There’s also HyVee arena (Kemper).
