I know it isn't till next week, but should be an interesting dual.

I'd expect LOTS of close matches, as our squads' peaks and valleys kind of match up.

Will be Renteria instead of Peska though which will change things.

JW - How do you put graphics on this forum?

Well, I'll start with this. They're not allowed!

Tom gave me a special exemption for infographics only. Presuming you have the same exemption, I'm saving screenshots of spreadsheets, hosting them on the internet, and using the Image function on the message board.

Geeezzz JW, while I love the content you post, you have waaaaaay too much time on your hands

I think the Badgers have their hands full, but hopefully they wrestle hard, and who knows, maybe they can sneak out with a W.

I can't understand for the life of me how Crone is barely ranked. He has had a really good season overall. There are guys ahead of him with much worse resumes.

How many here will be going to the match tonight?  I hope to get front row seats.  What time do the doors open?  Go Badgers!

I'll be hiding in the back.

It'd be a pretty big upset if we win at 125, 133, or 149, and on the flip side, there are no matches that if they won, it'd be a big upset. That doesn't set-up to be a great situation.

That said, it's not unlikely at all that we'd get to six matches, with us being a decent favorite in two (174, 197) and a slight favorite in another (165). Then, we have either-or matches at 157 and heavyweight, and we're slight underdogs (though very live) at 141 and 184.

My optimistic prediction:
125: M. Maginnis (Neb), 7-2
133: J. Renteria (Neb), 3-2
141: C. Red (Neb), 10-7
149: C. McCrystal (Neb), 10-3
157: A. Crone (Wis), 5-4
165: E. Wick (Wis), 6-4
174: R. Christensen (Wis), 10-1
184: R. Robertson (Wis), 2-1 TB-1
197: H. Ritter (Wis), 5-2
285: D. Jensen (Neb), 7-1

WIS - 16, NEB - 15

I agree everything else could happen but Christensen won't put up 10 on Breske. I could definitely see a win but not 10-1.

[wrastle63]

Yea just judging from their earlier match up I don't think it will happen.

Nebraska has a very young team so if the Badgers are going to beat them
our best chance is this year when their lineup is filled with freshman.

I hope you are right JW but I think it is Neb 25 - W 13

02/04/2018 vs. Michigan State 174 - Gary (Logan) Ritchie (Michigan State) over Beau Breske (Nebraska) (Dec 8-3)

Another one that got away!

Ryan's strength is on top. I could see two tilts, riding time, and an escape from Ryan, easily.

Correct, he did get away, another missed recruit!

[crossface21]

Delay in the start as the officials flight was delayed

[crossface21]

When it starts, the dual will start at 165

So I'm at home wondering why the match on Flo didn't start at 7:00 and Badger John texts me saying the Ref is coming from out East and is late. Then he texted me pics of the Ref stretching, doing situps, etc.  Hah.  Didn't know they did that : - )  Maybe we'll get started soon.
