Does Dresser not have enough juice to make a stink about this?
Someone should ask him. Seriously. He doesn't sugarcoat stuff and it may be one of those 'answer your question, without answering your question' kind of deals.

It's way past time to move this tournament to Kansas City and stop drawing byes. John Smith and the Pokes are holding this conference back at this point.

I'm surprised Cole Moody (165) and Brian Andrews (Hwt) are out for Wyoming.

While it would've been nice to get some of the first round matches, I don't hate all of the results. I'm glad David and Ian both got first round matches to push for bonus. Sammy could push for bonus too. Kysen avoids having to wrestle VanVleet from Air Force (who had a very close match with Kysen in the dual). Wouldn't be shocked if he upsets Teske.

Yonger being able to save his energy for Elam probably isn't a bad thing, but getting his bonus in round 1 would've been nice.

Ok. I am calming my t*ts a little. I agree on Kysen and Yonger. Those are "good" byes.

It is interesting that the ones that got byes are at the weights where OSU has struggled of pretty deep. 157, 165, 184.

197 and 285 probably weren't going to get qualified anyway, so they don't matter as much.

I am curious of the process. Who supervises the random draw? is it a committee?

With 8 of the 10 weights having an even number of qualifying spots, there is a chance for a decent amount of "true placement" matches.

These arent exactly great draws for Ok State even if they did get first round matches. A hurt Mastro vs NDSU before Surtin. If he is still hurt then the extra match doesn't help. Carter Young vs Ty Smith Utah Valley, Smith just beat Hart. Was Hart hurt? If he beat him he's at least capable and that isn't a great one for a Carter Young. Sheets will have Thomas 2nd round and capable of losing that one. Geer is a guy who can get bonus points and he got a bye rather than first round match. 197 for Okie State could go 2 and out.

I think Mizzou will be the biggest threat to Iowa State this weekend

They had the matches in 2020, were supposed to have them in 2021 (Plott/Mantanona) as far as everyone knew but then didn't, and now apparently have scuttled them completely.
