No, but we haven’t set the world on fire the last couple years at big 12s. I don’t mind Dresser trying something different. We’ll see how it plays out in Tulsa

I don’t think a match against a teammate or practice partner means much. Hopefully our backup are getting better & pushing our starters. I would be more disappointed if our starters tech falled all of our backups
I thought Dresser wanted to practice run the morning of big 12's, including staying at a hotel. At least that's what I thought I heard in his talk after the Missouri meet.
I assume fans are invited to help with the experience but also trying to grow fan base.
I don’t think it means anything in terms of win/loss. But not sure how it would impact the psyche.
Anyway, nice explanation by @Cyclone Pfan . I’ve never heard of this being done before, but let’s see how it plays out.
So any chance Perryman is our guy for big12s? What was the score? Let the best guy wrestle.
Also, glad to see Jacob is back and healthy. He’s going to be a big contributor moving forward.

The whole thing is kind of strange. Who is the guy at 125? Why was big frost at 149 even competitive with Casey? And I haven't heard anything about rojas all year who is one of our bigger recruits. I for one am going to take the perspective of our backups are coming along and forget this even happened.
I think your last sentence is the only real takeaway here. I don’t feel the need to worry about Casey or MJ. They’re good. We’ve seen them be good for months. One close match/loss to a teammate they wrestle all the time isn’t a huge deal.
125 is weird, but that’s par for the course this year.
I agree with CN5. I'm a proponent of letting the best guy go but our starters were the best guys early in the year and have earned the spots. Even Kysen should get to finish out the season imo. I hope this lights a fire under our guys and they dominate Big 12s.
My take is I’m excited Rojas and Jacob are back heathy. Both were dealing with the same type of knee issue so that’s reassuring they’ve made a recovery and learned something in the process. I always like having good depth and these guys should be pushing to start.
MJ is a pinner and will score points for us at Nationals. But coaches know best and they need to put in whoever they feel is best at 125. If we can get 2-3 points at nationals from that weight that could be the difference in a team trophy or not! That’s 1 or 2 pins on the backside

He was a 65 pounder who has been building and lifting his way to 174. Rojas to 165 and Naak 184 is most ideal
One thing we don't know (or I don't know), did the backup have to make weight or was he fat and jolly? I think Dresser said the starters were going to have to make weight on the same timeline as the tournament, so a 1 or 2 hour weighin.

I’m going to take those Gilbert results as a positive.
Our top 10 149 and top 20 174 got pushed to the brink by “back ups”.
Depth!!

anyone who wrestled knows how difficult it is to wrestle a partner youve been working with all year. Day after day you work with them, they know your moves and movements. Take these results with a grain of salt
respectfully disagree - Perryman should be in at 125 for big 12's
I know it's a hard thing to sit him esp. as senior but he has been a roller coaster and had had off mat issues (minor) but still a distraction.
we need all the points we can muster on March 9 & 10
KT is better than Perryman. That’s why he will wrestle. I assume this comment is target to the match that occurred this past weekend which means nothing.

He is eligible or he wouldn't of wrestled the simulation. My guess is further discussions with the coaches have happened to decide whether Kysen will wrestle Big 12 or not.
Terukina is the man at 125.
