7-3. Tony was down by one with :04 seconds and got a 4 pt exposure.Score?
It was a typical heavier wrestler pushing match with no one shooting. Looking to win squeekers will get you beat. That was not a remotely good performance from Jake. Didn't shoot once.It's unreal how good some of these young guys are.
I don't think Marable took a shot after he scored the 4 point move on Schlatter's shot in the 1st minute of the match. Before that he took maybe 1 shot. I would bet on Schlatter in a rematch.Nick Marable over Dustin Schlatter 4-2
Yes, Snyder can redshirt next year. He has not used any redshirts. Just finished true freshman season.Can Kyle Snyder red shirt next year and try for the Olympic team or did he already use up his "shirts?"

Anybody wish we'd gotten Snyder or Valencia?
I'm surprised by how little discussion there's been about two HWC guys winning the U.S. Open and every HWC guy qualifying for the WTT's. That's a pretty big deal. Probably has to do with the limited TV coverage and few Iowa fans getting to see it. Still, a little surprising. Maybe it's Mother's Day -- doubt it.
Caught a lot of the wrestling, toggling back and forth between Flo and Trackwrestling to find the right match. Ended up missing Schlatter/Marable and watching a Greco match b/c I could keep the mat assignments straight.
A lot of great wrestling. Valencia was a major eye opener. Howe's strategy against Taylor came within a hair's breadth of succeeding. Howe worked on Taylor's head so much I was feeling back pain myself. Had Taylor's leg six feet in the air with 30 seconds left but couldn't finish. And Tony's win over Hochstrasser was tremendous. Tony was the better wrestler, in my very biased opinion, and I'm relieved the final score reflected that.
One down note. The size of the crowd, especially for the early rounds, was less than you see at my son's JV basketball games. Not good. Either LV is a bad venue or the promotion was not up to snuff or the sport is still trying to catch fire outside in the southwestern US. In a town of a million people, where there must be dozens of high schools with wrestling teams, it looked like there were fewer than 1000 people in attendance at times. Maybe the event should start Friday night to allow students and workers to get to the event.
Ridicous that Flo posts no upcoming mat assignments Track wrestling always has the mat assignments on the event dashboard.
Use the two sites together and it will save a lot of headach.
It's hard to grow the popularity of the sport with a half empty arena. Man that was terrible and SAD. My youngest son made a comment about it right away and made a comment about wrestling not being very popular. My older son was like "I thought you said this was going to be one of the greatest US events of the year?" Not easy trying to explain to my boys why there was nobody there. Those guys and girls out there last night deserved to wrestle in front of 10k+ wrestling fans.
I watched the U.S. Open all Day (11:00am to about 4:30pm and 9:00pm to 11:30pm-CDT) Friday and Saturday on my IPad. Flo had a camera on every mat, but I didn't know who was wrestling on which mats, so I just had to surf from mat to mat. I quickly figured out the mats they used for men's freestyle, so that helped reduce the number of mats to watch. I luckily caught each one of Metcalf's matches, most of McD's matches and just 3 (quarters, semis, and Finals) of Ramos, about 4 of DSJ's matches and only 2 of DD's matches. The only 2 matches of DD's that I saw were the ones he lost. I guess I was bad luck for him!
I will be in Madison to watch these guys at the WTT.
Happy Mother's Day!

Just like any other wrestling tournament being shown on the internet, the upcoming match option is not provided by the video stream service unless the tournament is being run on that service's software. Same was true for NCAAs and B1Gs. Its not that difficult to have both trackwrestling and flo running at the same time. Also trackwrestling had the option of clicking a video icon by the display of current matches that automatically opened up a window showing that mat on flo.Open trackwrestling in one window and have flo in another window, then you can switch back and forth with ease. I even reduce the "zoom" on the trackwrestling window so I can have them both up on the screen at the same time. Sure it's a hassle but until flo can add an "upcoming match" feature to the site it's about the best you can do I think.

Not following, chief. Are you being facetious about Vegas being a "good place to start"?
I suspect they'd draw a good crowd in State College and possibly Columbus, too. Probably not as good as Iowa City, but at least that would move the tournament around a little. I'd like to see the US Open (and the WTT/OTT, for that matter) in Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, for selfish reasons. I think they'd draw very well there, too. Probably tough to get that arena, though, and probably cheaper to use Carver. Anyway, rotating between Iowa City, State College, and maybe Columbus would be an idea, although I seem to recall that National Duals drew poorly in Columbus, so that may not be a great option. Maybe once Zeke gets ASU cranking, Tempe would be an option out west. Probably better than Vegas, at least.
Anyway, whatever the solution, Vegas sure seems like a poor choice to me from a fan support perspective.
