To change the subject to something equally frustrating... is the ND the same format as last year?
National Duals
- Thread starter UndercoverHawk
- Start date
Chances are we are going to get some vitamin C...
It's sad. I used to love National Duals and always looked forward to heading over to Cedar Falls for a fantastic weekend of wrestling with a great crowd and a chance to see all 3 divisions under one roof. Now, thanks to the brilliance of the NWCA, I really don't care a lick about them. Pretty much forget they're even happening.
What was once a phenomenal event is now merely a shadow of its former self.

I'd guess we see Virginia Tech in a dual, because I don't see use beating PSU right now. Think we beat tOSU though.
I don't think we'll see Snyder -- think he'll be overseas for a freestyle event. If so, they shouldn't pose much of a threat in that meet.
We actually don't match up too badly against PSU, I don't think. If we're healthy enough, we could win that one.
25: Dec. IA (3-0)
33: Maj. IA (7-0)
41: Dec. IA (10-0)
49: Dec. PSU (10-3)
57: Dec. PSU (10-6)
65: Maj. PSU (10-10)
74: Dec. IA (13-10)
84: Dec. IA (16-10)
97: Dec. PSU (16-13)
285: Dec. IA (19-13)
I could see something like this. Sure, it's optimistic, but I don't think it's all that unrealistic, especially at home. Not saying this is exactly how I think it will play out, but I could see it happening.

Agreed. Could care less about the "National" Duals. NWCA has turned into a joke of an organization.

Possible, if everything goes perfectly, and I hope you're right. Having better refs would help too.
But realistically, I'd say 141 and 174 are tossups. Meyer will likely give up a TD or two early on, and then the question is, can he come back.
Retherford getting a MD is certainly possible.
165 could be worse than MD loss if SJS is in.
At heavy right now, I'd give an edge to Nevills. Don't know status of Stoll's knee, but other than trying to trying to lock up the opponent's arms, he didn't seem to have much going today. And I think Nevills is better than Schafer.
