Ah, that smiley confuses me. My bad.

Something like that. They said a big move to the back. Not sure what it was though.

We've slipped out of the top 5 now. We need to step it up.

MilehighClone · 03-21-2008, 11:39 AM

This is really not that unexpected to me. Remember, most of the team moved up a weight this year. With another off season of weight training and conditioning, we will be much more of a threat to win it all next year.

Seth · 03-21-2008, 11:52 AM

So...Fanthorpe, Gallick, and Reader all lost so far, right? Mueller's done too. So Cyler has our only W of the day?

While I tend to agree somewhat, let's be honest here, these guys aren't wrestling under weight, they are weighing in at the same weight as their opponents. Moving up a weight class didn't hurt us at the Big 12's or the duals throughout the year. We are just getting our collective ***** handed to us today and there is no other way to put it.

You are correct. We are 1-5 on the day.

SouthernHawk · 03-21-2008, 12:10 PM

What are the standings? Anybody know?

jahfg · 03-21-2008, 12:11 PM

We didn't have good matchups today, but to win a national championship, you have to pull upsets. Today's results aren't all that unexpected. We still have 8 guys with an opportunity to be all-americans which would be a hell of a feat. 6 is more likely, but 7 would be nice.

I think Iowa is now 5 for 5 in the quarters and 6 for 6 on the day and last I heard they have opened up a 20 point lead. This thing is all but over. This next year is going to be hard hearing all the crap coming out of EIU.

I'm actually interested in seeing where CMU is falling in the standings. They're a pretty cool story.

Iowa (Keddy) just had their first loss of the day

Varner wins 2-0

isufbcurt · 03-21-2008, 12:24 PM

It pains me to no end to say this but I like how Iowa wrestles, they are actually AGGRESSIVE. We seem passive and seem to wait for openings, personally I hate that style. I say be aggressive and go make your points.

ianoconnor · 03-21-2008, 12:26 PM

I agree, Varner is incredibly boring to watch.
