Love your honesty. I don’t like half of the dimwits on this forum. Hell, half of these dimwits might not like me but it isn’t going to stop me from going ice fishing in a few minutes.

No, it was a knock on Riggens as many have pointed out. Maybe you should head over to the Wartburg message boards for a bit, you’re not wanted here.
Great post Phil. It's refreshing seeing people call the assholes out. They're a loud small anonymous group that mostly run unchecked on here.. The majority are great, they just don't post much. More of them need to call those "fans" out.
It's called room battles remember those . Now it's let's go somewhere else where it's easier. Most of you obviously don't know Aiden Riggins. All the kid knows is hard work and determination.
Is that a half assed or half baked comment? Can't decide. 😁
Rankings don't mean anything anyway right now. If he keeps taking care of business on the mat his seeding will be where it should be.
Keep that chip on his shoulder
Glazier is wrestling with confidence right now and he's been a real surprise this year. However, he's wrestled the equivalent of a Big10 West football schedule so far.
Except he has some offense.
He is definitely above average at finishing shots, very efficient.Except he has some offense.
And he won’t have much opportunity besides Brooks. His remaining matches.
I'd be disappointed if he loses to anyone but Brooks on that list. Surber not a guy to sleep on.
Do you think he was hesitant to take a lot of shots knowing Ramos is a big move guy??
Agree these clueless posters trashing Riggins are cowards. The kid is outmatched but giving it his all competing up a few weight classes as an underclassman to help the team.
He would have been stalled out in 1st period with the ref from Nebraska meet. Purdue had a few very good defensive stallers who can keep it to a regular decision, but had no intention of trying to win the match.
How in the hell did he end up at that small California school his freshman year???
I wasn't surprised at the result. My inclination is that Ramos is better than Ayala but it isn't a wide gap. Ayala has a lot of nice tools but I haven't seen the consistency to make me feel confident that he can beat a number of top guys in a row in the tourney. That said I don't look at that weight and think he isn't capable of winning those matches. But I think he needs to show more consistency.
That’s kind of what it felt like last night. That’s why I think he has a lot more to offer vs what we saw against Ramos. Excited to see him get another shot. I think he wrestles much diff
NO ONE is trashing Riggins, but being a starter next season is going to be a challenge at 165/174. And he's gonna have to add 20lbs if 184 is a consideration. If he's happy in the room under the current scenario, that's great.
My original post was in regards to a path to being competitive as a starter at the college level.
We all admire his effort as a considerably undersized 184.
A program like Iowa can't have this situation, gambling thingy or not.
JFC
Technically he beat a former NCAA champ this season.
And that match plus Alred is a significantly tougher schedule than Big10 west football.Not many teams have 4 184s . Assad and Swafford plus Nelson was a possibility at 184 as well.
I’d like to see this question posed after NCAA’s.
Warner wrestled best at Nationals and has historical results the top guys. Glacier hasn’t seen the best of the best yet, however, I anticipate good results in many of those matches.
6 weeks ago it would have been considered silly to pose the question.
But he didn't...and Allred is a perfect analogy to Big10 west football. Good, tough win but not a top end win.Technically he beat a former NCAA champ this season.
Run the Big10 minus Brooks, beat Okie and finish top 3 at BTT and he'll be a top 8 seed.
But for now Glazier doesn't have a top 12 win and that is keeping his ranking down.
Are we still hating on a guy who was a 4x AA and a finalist?
I love the way Glazier is competing but get back to me when he has a win over an AA.
Random side note. The guy who defeated Riggins (James Rowley) is my cousin once removed. (Cousin's son).

Nope, I am not hating on Warner one bit. He was much more consistent at Nationals than in dual meets IMHO.
Glazier has a lot to prove at Big Tens and Natty’s.
To answer the question today, no he wouldn’t beat Warner. If he had been able to in the past he would have had the spot.
Perhaps one of the reasons Warner had a great career is because Glazier pushed him harder more than anyone would have realized. IF Glazier finishes top 4 then I’d like to see that match.
Your cousin's son would be your cousin once removed, not your second cousin
Absolutely. Gave him too much respect. Didn't get to his offense.
The problem is that Ramos is inconsistent, but when he's motivated to prove a point and in a big match, he comes out strong. I think he was definitely feeling it last night and that carried him through the match
