Talk about loaded, this could be bad, but hoping for the best, Go Badgers!

I really hope 165, and hwt will happen with the starters, it would be good for both sides.  Only 2 seniors for Penn St?  That's scary.  What does Hall weigh in at?  Will he take over 174 next year?

I guess Hall will be at 174 next year.  I found this news clip on him...

There will be some Hall news this season, just not nearly as much as there will be the next four. But Hall will compete at 174 pounds in the Binghamton Open this weekend in New York state. He's also considering the Michigan State Open and he said he'd like to do something over New Year's, pointing toward an open entry in the Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tennessee, as a possibility.

[Micah]

Hall won the scuffle, still talk about his RS being pulled but I don't think it will happen.

WI could/should win 141, 165 and HWT.  All three should be good matches. 

[MNbadger]

The PSU heavyweight crushed Kroells.

[lizard king]

If the Badgers who wrestled at Midlands show up, it will be entertaining.  If the Badgers who wrestled Nebraska show up it will be real ugly.

[Ivan Stankowski]

It is all about Peaking at the right time and like it or not all this stuff in the middle is just fluff, I think we will see them at Peak performance come NCAA Time

[lizard king]

You are 100 percent correct, however, being competitive, all the time, has it's own merit as well.

[leg turk]

Everybody else will be at peak performance come NCAA time as well.

[Micah]

This stuff in the middle can mean more than you think at the end.  There is a big difference between a 4 seed and 2-3 seed at 165 and HWT.  Both have big matches.

[Huckfinn]

133 an 141 are the mystery weights for PS.   You don't know who will wrestle at 33, or which Guilibon will show up.

I'll be disappointed if Ricky Roberts doesn't beat McCutcheon.  And I expect Medberry to show Nevilles that it's not his time yet.

[Ivan Stankowski]

Not necessarily

Not necessarily but likely

Isn't Cortez out? Also imo you will never wrestle better than you practice.so while the regular season may just be practice. It is very important.

This is a very nice rah rah speech but not always true, Not all athletes are practice players just like not all practice players are competitors
