Backes wins 9-3.....all the way Kurt!

 

[CyForPresident]

Askrew just lost?!? Holy Cow. Only his second loss of the year. If Backes wrestles like he should there is no reason why he can't make the final.

Keep the updates coming. Stupid dial-up.

He actually won 16 - 4. The radio was wrong. 3 more team points!

We have 7 in the championship bracket and 3 in the wrestlebacks. (nobody in the entire tournament has been eliminated completely yet).

 

[CyForPresident]

Anybody know where to find updated brackets?

 

[isu_bub]

Haven't found any yet. Frustrating.

 

[thakeepa14]

how many cyclones are stil standing?

All of them. But we're 7-3 overall. Fanthorpe, Turner and Zabriskie being the one's already in the wrestlebacks.. Minnesota is going to be tough to beat: 10-0 so far. Ouch.

Correct, wrestlebacks is the consolation bracket. National Championships are won or lost in wrestlebacks.
