Good to see Iowa's redshirts there. And of course good to see Brody finally on the mat again--I think this is exactly what he needs as his first competition.
That's why Moody got DQ'd? Sheesh. Sounds a bit arbitrary, but what's the harm in putting a hair net on? Gnash your teeth and get on with it.
Never mind: I reread your post. See no hair net was available. Silly. Let the guys wrestle.

Have you played any competitive sports? Wrestling against others outside your room is better than just practicing against the same people all the time. At some point you need to see others and probably best to boost confidence, too, after injury.

If your gonna have an Afro or rat tail bring ya own net son!
As for the hair net thing, it's a bummer, but I think it's a good rule of thumb to keep your hair reasonably short if you want to be a serious wrestler. I understand individuality and all, but wrestling and long hair don't exactly go hand in hand.
That said, Jeremiah might want to check out what that kid from Illinois did to contain his locks last night. His hair was almost down to his waist and he managed to keep it covered up pretty well.
If you're going to have long hair, you'd best come to the competition prepared to deal with it and make sure you're within the rules.

Agree. . . But let the guys wrestle. This isn't the Olympics, and Moody's opponent is deprived of a match too. What principle is being served here? This isn't a safety issue, is it?
Shouldn't they have told him the rules about hair when the head ref did nail and skin check before the tournament started?
I know this is a dead horse, but the rest of the team got their warm up meet. 
ok.st.
ok.st.He has done very well this year, too bad he had to miss that match. He puts up a lot of points and gets after it.
They let him wrestle first round, then decided to DQ him next round - that's weird:
Champ. Round 1 - Jeremiah Moody (Iowa) won by major decision over Clark Doyle (Wisconsin Lacrosse) (Maj 21-11)
Quarterfinal - Isaiah Patton (Northern Iowa) won by disqualification over Jeremiah Moody (Iowa) (DQ)
My nephew had dreads when he wrestled and he always had a hair net with him but only had to use it about half of the time. It was never mentioned at weigh-ins and there were times when he would wrestler in a tourney and one ref would make him wear a hair net and the next would not. Totally inconsistent between tourneys and refs. There were even times when I would see a white wrestler with hair that was even longer or bushier then my nephews and he would be allowed to wrestle with no hair net but my nephew was forced to wear one.....not saying anything, just saying.
Ref told moody when he walked on the mat to cut hair or get a hair net. No hair net available so ran to the corner and Holloway started cutting his hair. Got half of it off, and ref said injury time was over so DQ'd him. Head ref had told the ref of that match a long time before moody ever went out that he had to cut it or wear a head net. Should have called moody to the head table rather than wait till he checked in for that match. We asked the head ref why it wasn't called during skin check / weigh ins. He said, "It's not my job to tell them that". Though he did say at NCAA's refs make sure those things are taken care of at skin checks / weigh ins. That being said...Moody HAS cut his hair & heard something has now changed and Moody WILL get to wrestle that match. Not sure how they're gonna do that after calling the DQ, but heard they were. Head ref stormed into one of the Loras offices on the phone
