Thomas Gilman

G-man on a mission! Of course I was rooting for Nico, but I gotta respect Gilman's run. I'm rooting for him to get it done, Ramos' whiny rant when he lost to Dennis and his choke job against Brewer at WNO are my last two memories of the guy...I think Gilman is in his head and takes him out in 2 straight!
 
Lol. The rest of the country is really really hoping he doesn't win tonight. Otherwise they won't be able to use the, "he's no good when the lights are on" excuse anymore. And you all know who I mean by "country" ;)
Gilman might get a couple new fans since the match is against Ramos. I can't imagine the Iowa haters are very fond of Ramos.

I'm rooting for f&@n! Nasty, drag out, unadulterated f&@n!
 
With Lee coming in and who knows what weight Clark will go, I'm beginning to wonder if there will ever be another non-hawkeye representing the US at the light weights.
I'll take Daton Fix to threaten that thought...

Especially when the weight changes. I imagine some of those bigger guys like Graff, Ramos, and Garrett will have a hard time taking off a couple extra kilos. Might be difficult for Clark too.
 
Ramos will likely attempt to stand around while making a million fake level changes, and win by a point late. In fairness to UNC, he did this while he was at the HWC as well. He'll never be a serious player on the world or Olympic stage unless he learns to score.
I feel you're looking in to the match to much. The real question will be, did Coleman eat lunch with Ramos. If not Gilman could have a serious mental edge on him.
 
Gman has to be my favorite Hawkeye/HWC member at this point. Just love his tenacity and desire to win. I had doubts that Thomas had the size/strength/experience to make the finals this year, but he performed like a champion. I doubt that he will beat TRam after having a grueling afternoon of wrestling and size/experience disadvantage (just writing that so he can continue to prove me wrong). Go get him Thomas!!!

Even the people that hate Gilman can appreciate how he doesn't Tweet or use Facebook. That dude will straight tell you to your face how it is. Its refreshing to see really

Life would be boring without personalities like the Brands and Gilman. I love that they are different, and don't care what haters say about them.
 
Didn't Fix beat Lee several times in free style? He's good...I expect him to challenge anyone at his weight.[/QUOTE

No, Fix will never threaten Lee again is my prediction. Given the change in weigh in protocol, it's over. No more night before or two day before weigh ins and if Daton makes 125 in College--I believe Lee will pin him. It won't be close, wrestling one hour after the scale... please let it happen, but I don't think it will.
