So 3 all americans for ISU, and 3 that need 1 more win to get AA. I *think* there's nothing left for ISU until tonight's session.

If we manage to go 9-0 tonight (3 wins on championship side and 2 wins by each of our three remaining wrestlers on the consolation side), we would be up to 88 points, assuming we don't score any bonus points. This is obviously unlikley, but just goes to show that there are a lot of points left to be scored.

Iowa's Beatty, who should have lost last night's match to be eliminated, wins another close one. He's the gift that keeps on giving...me hives.

With 4th rnd over, I believe these are the scores going into this evening:

1. Iowa 73
2. Cornell 54
3. Iowa State 46 tied w/ Ohio State 46
5. Oklahoma 44
6. Alcohol Mistake Cowboys -43
7. Minnesota ROFLs - 35
8. Penn State Fail Sandersons and Wisconsin -33
10 Mizzwho? - 30

I'm pretty sure I'm close on the top 5 - the next 5 I'm not totally sure about (ergo the silly names).

ISU only has 3 left in the consolations. Jensen, Sorenson, Burk, and Ward have all been eliminated.

Duh. Totally correct. I forgot to subtract Sorenson when I was doing it in my head! I knew we were farther behind than that number of consos would have indicated... Sorry!:confused:

He should have staye to finish what he started with the rest of his team.

Unless you characterize "what he started" as wrestling for his brother. Do you think he would've been at ISU to begin with if not for Cael?

Obviously we would still like to have had Cyler, but I seriously doubt it's going to make a difference as to whether we would have won the title or not. Sure, it might impact whether we come in second, third, etc., but a wise man once told me, "If you're not first you're last."

It's possible that the combination of Cyler PLUS Gallick could have made a difference, but injuries are a part of wrestling.

Ugh. Plenty of people care I would think. We're just having a discussion. You don't have to participate.
Well, I like to read this thread to stay updated on what's going on at the tournament, not to see a rehashing of what should or should not have happened last year.

FWIW, I have no hard feelings for Cael or Cyler or any of the Sanderson brothers. But, they're not on my team anymore, so outside of a general curiosity of did he win or lose, no, I don't care.
