Gallick, Sanderson and Reader all lost - that's a kick in the groin.

I hope Big Z gets the win. He needs it for seeding. You don't want to wrestle Rosholt in the Semi's.

I don't get the forfeits at this level, we don't have anyone to wrestle at 133? I mean who cares if they get stuck, at least we didn't just give 6 points away. Maybe there is a good reason why, I am sure there is.

**Melvin** · 02-15-2009, 03:26 PM

Nice win by Ward.

**Cyano** · 02-15-2009, 03:27 PM

Sure could use a pin here

If there is a reason, I am not aware of one. Seems ridiculous that we have done it multiple times this season. How do we not have SOMEONE that can fill that spot.

I agree, a Forfeit really puts you behind the 8-Ball, I would think our backup would be pretty good.

Is a Forfeit better in terms of seeding for the Big 12 Tournament? I'm not sure.

**Cyano** · 02-15-2009, 03:30 PM

I believe the backup is also injured, and others are redshirting

Correct. Two guys hurt and two guys redshirting.

you obviously dont get it, you are right. Shaffer, the only back up, is out with an injury. there are a few freshmen that could fill in, but burning a redshirt right now would not be a wise move. Fanthorpe is hurt, and they arent going to risk anything till big 12s, when they have to.

duals are for pride and nothing more. the national championship is won in a tournament format. beating mizzou means nothing, though losing to them is unpleasant. burning a redshirt this late in the year would be essentially wasting a season for a freshman, who would have to take a rs again next year.
