Update

[TBrandvold]

I hope you are all recovering after a tough weekend for UW athletics... A couple of quick thoughts and updates

We had an overall bad night on Saturday in Cedar Falls.  We weren't tough enough in certain situations and let the momentum and crowd knock us off our game.  UNI's coaches had their athletes better prepared for the individual match ups and came out the way we wrestled last weekend- firing on offense and riding tough.  It's frustrating because that is one of 16 dates we get to compete and we did not wrestle the way we did the week prior.  We have had some tough conversations and good workouts since Saturday and promise to wrestle to our potential on Friday night against the Fighting Illini. 

The match on Friday will be moved to the "Shell" (to the right of the field house) and admission will be FREE.  We want to thank the fans that came to UNI to watch us and hope that we can get a big crowd in Madison on Friday.  Fans can make a huge difference in the dual, we appreciate all the fans and support we get!   

We are sending out weekly updates via email... We would love for you to send your email address to SLB@athletics.wisc.edu in order to get an inside scoop into what's going on each week.  Also please visit our Wisconsin Wrestling Facebook page. 

We are a tough, talented, young team that will learn from this past weekend and get better from it.  We expect to rebound from this, move on and take big steps this weekend.

Hope to see you Friday!

Thanks for the update, coach.  Let's hope that this recent setback serves as a valuable learning experience for the young Badgers, ultimately culminating in their best performance at the end of the season.  Good luck vs the Illini!

Thanks Coach

He sounds much better than the busted chair

...and he doesn't leave a sliver in your butt.

Anybody know the seating capacity of the Shell?

I'm guessing they will have to bring in temporary bleachers.  So it could be whatever they want it to be.
