Wisconsin Badgers at NDSU 2pm Sunday, December 30, 2014

Those are some big wins today against some really good competition.  Nice team win!  Even the guys who lost went down fighting.  Love to see that fight.  Look out when the Badgers get rolling on all cylinders because they got talent.  Hope this weekend gives the team some momentum.

Mitch B is a very good wrestler and that is/was a good win by Thieke. With the up and down last month that it sounds like he had, good way to get on the right track and get his season going.

Zillmer is a very good wrestler also. Give Robertson some time and maybe nationals it becomes a different result. Though I have to put this in there, I believe Zillmers highest weight he wrestled in High School was around 130 and now a solid 84 pounder. That is some growth there those his dad is a big man so I guess it would be a matter of time.

NDSU is a good program and while some may not think this is an earth shaking win, I am very happy to see that the Badgers are getting on track and remember this is still NOvember and small steps until the end of February is just what we need.
