Gross won't be wrestling because of his injury I assume.

word is Suriano is not either.

Nato did announce that he was going to be at Midlands.

I would love to see a rematch of NATO and Lee, with NATO not wrestling with a torn ACL.  I am hoping he goes 125.

Highly doubtful in my opinion.

It will be interesting to see who the Badgers send to this tournament. Some years we have had 12 slots - sometimes as many 15.

This is a meat grinder; but, if you wanna be the best, gotta beat the best. Or, get whooped by the best several times, before beating the best.

I'm just glad that this year at the Midlands we'll get to hopefully see the entire starting lineup. In years past, it seemed we always knew who wouldn't be wrestling and it always seemed to be some of the top dogs.

[wrastle63]

Anyone hear who the Badgers are taking? Do we see the redshirts or Breske?
