I had a feeling something was festering. Thought maybe it was just a dump.

Naw…. We on it.

Did Nelson beat Gabe for 74? Will there be official wrestle off at SS?

Imo, it’s best to have that figured out as early as possible. One needs to bulk up, one needs to cut.

Too late to bulk up now that the season has begun.

74 to 84? I do that every weekend.

For this year. Next year do we see Angelo at 197, Gabe at 184, and PK at 174? If GA and PK stay at 174 and AF at 184 who will be the 197? The logjam at 174 should leave Iowa with a hammer at 174 and 184 this year. Can Gabe or PK beat Angelo at 184 or does he go as a freshman? Lots of questions and should be some great matches at the SS.

You know my take...I want the best 10 on the mat. With all the money being thrown around, and of course the possibility of injuries, tomorrow is promise to no one. If Angelo is the best then let's roll him out so he can start enjoying the whole Hawkeye wrestling experience...and we can start enjoying his run to the finals. I know, wishful thinking, but I want to see what the young man can do.

Rather see Nelson up there, he’s been around long enough he can move up for the team

Being around long enough should have nothing to do with it. May the best man win...and may the second best find a new weight to excel at. And if Angelo starts they all know the ramifications of being second best at a weight...winner starts and the other man awaits his opportunty.

I want to challenge/beat Penn State and I want our exceptional outcome this year to draw in more exceptional recruits, and I just don't think we're going to do either - challenge PSU or draw exceptional recruits - if we're not putting our best 10 on the mat. I don't care what their names are, where they came from, or who they're related to. If they win the weight I want them on the mat...this year.

FFS can we ever even start a season without an injury issue. I'm getting old but I was thinking he got hurt late last season in an open. Not sure what that injury was but hopefully the brace is precaution from that recovery.

This is wrestling, if a guy thinks he can be a National Champion at a weight and proves he is the best guy on the team at that weight then he should be the guy. Gabe, the rest of the team and potential recruits know how it works. None of them would appreciate being forced to go up a weight for the team if they were the best guy.

Obviously it doesn't matter what I think, but Gabe is too short for 184.

There...done complaining.

Technically he is too short for 174 too but you use what you got.
