The Vallholls are going on a spring break to a country, located closer to the equator than Iowa, that Donald Trump may or may not be welcomed to visit. In anticipation of this trip, Mrs. Vallholl comes to bed rather excited the other night, which, I must admit, after 18 years of marriage, piqued my interest. My excitement was short-lived when Mrs. V. began to talk about this vacation. She showed me an iPad with the hotel’s website and asked me what I wanted to do on this vacation, specifically:
“Do you want to sign up to go bowling?”
“Bowling? Bowling, you say.”
As I took this question in, I considered bowling and all the other things on my mind, I started thinking and it went something like this…
Why is Spring Break the same time of year as NCAA Wrestling Championship(s)? What size of frying pan would I have to watch out for if I skipped the family trip and went to NYC?
Is NATO a better matchup for Gilman than Mega/Dance? Does Thomas even care?
Will Bradley Taylor beat Conaway again? If Richards is really a super hero, isn’t it unfair that he gets the 3 seed? Why is DiJullius, and those darn elbow holds, always there for Clark?
I wonder how many points Seth Gross will score at NCAAs? Why…? (nevermind)
Is Jake Sueflohn to Brandon Sorensen like Johnny DiJullius is to Cory Clark?
What if Edwin Cooper Jr. had been at Iowa for 5 years? Has anyone improved more over one year that ECjr? How many pages will the thread go when he earns his AA? Is it ironic to anyone else that Jake Ryan and Jojo Smith are wrestling first round to anyone else? Is Ian Miller really hurt? Would people have complained as much about Cooper’s loss to Gantt if they knew Gantt would be the #2 seed?
When Patrick Rhoads scores points this year, what kind of 165 dry spell will that break? What is it going to be like on HR if there is a Patrick Rhoads run at NCAAs?
Will Alex go back to his “Rope a dope” strategy of tricking people to get a couple first period TDs and then tire out in the 3rd period? Is Ethan Ramos any good?
Can Sammy Brooks get back to Dudley’s leg like that again? When was the last time the184lb NC came from Iowa?
What adjustments does Nathan have for MM? Who has got 197 next year? How much weight can Alex put on in the off season?
What if Stoll wasn’t hurt and got third at B1Gs, what would his seed have been? How many points can he get at NCAAs? Is Morningstar coaching Stoll how to wrestle on one leg? How much did Stoll improve in a year?
Can I disappear for most of Thursday and Friday and not be missed by my family?
Rubbing my chin for effect, I said:
“Bowling? If I don’t like to bowl in Iowa, why would want to bowl somewhere else?”
“Do you want to sign up to go bowling?”
“Bowling? Bowling, you say.”
