I'm thinking Ryak is not wrestling at the Midlands. Unless they go home for just a couple days. But I assume with Ryak having a concussion, the staff will error on the side of caution.

Ryak Finch@Mexacutioner125 Who can take me to the airport Sunday?! But don't tell my mom cuz I'm surprising her ;)

The football players are all going home right now too, I assume the wrestlers get a couple days off for Christmas.

133 - Meeks and RJ Hallman
141 - Goettl
149 - L Swalla, not sure on Mayfield
149 - G Moreno (going unattached
157 - Molina, wouldn't be surprised is Sorenson goes
165 - M Moreno
174 - England & Ta Weatherman
184 - Beard
197 - Gadsen, wouldn't be surprised if Shafer goes (Actually would be surprised if he doesn't go)
Hwt - Gibson

Other possibilities are Swope, Christensen, Weatherspoon (unattached), Terukina (unattached), Larson (unattached)

What is going on with the Cyclone Wrestling program? Seems like life after Cale has been a huge drop off. I try to follow whats going on but doesn't seem like KJ has any coaching abilities and that's just judging the W-L record since he has been there. This is Iowa State Wrestling aren't we better than this?

While we're on the topic of things that have never been talked about, how about that South End Zone? Why haven't we built that yet?

I see Max Mayfield, RJ Hallman, Michael Moreno, Kyven Gadsen, Tanner Weatherman, Luke Swalla are all going to Midlands. I don't know if Max is wrestling or not. Heard the others are.

I know Ryak isn't wrestling. Surprised to see Quean listed. Also surprised to see Gabe not listed. I would bet Gabe is wrestling.

Why bother? It will just be the same old disappointing news I'm afraid. I'll be interested in ISU wrestling again when we become even halfway relevant again. I don't see that happening for a while.

Great idea. So, when ISU football or basketball is down we should all quit being interested in them as well. :rolleyes:
