In a regular year, Mastro would not be on the mat, but in the weight room developing. He is not strong enough to compete, but it is a free year and he beats Witcraft so what else do you do at that weight. Probably more disappointed that witcraft hasn’t developed,
Last night. Either G or coaches got pissed about the reversal that wasn't called that cost G the match in OT.When was the point deducted on a 141 match?
Just because you have a funded RTC doesn’t guarantee success.The essence of my post is all about the landscape of college wrestling. It has changed drastically. I have watched it for 55 years.
Are we changing with it? Are we adapting to it? Are we just letting it pass us by?
It's people like you that say "its changing, nothing we can do"
It's people like me saying "its changing, lets do something about it"
I love John Smith. He is the greatest American wrestler ever! He loves OSU, clearly.
But why aren't we adapting to the change better? I know why....do you?
Why can't these questions be asked?
He was in the cowboy open and lost first round.Winning against common opponents is more important than H2H results. Witcraft was undefeated at 125 this year. He should have been entered in the Cowboy Challenge @ 125 to see what he could do against D1 starters. Instead he was bounced around between 125 & 133 all year. Mastro has too many holes right now. At least Witcraft battles when he's out there.
He was in the cowboy open and lost first round.
Even if Demas loses?Have to win all 3 tonight to win the title. Could use a pin or 2 as well.
Reece is going into the his 2nd year in the program, and still struggles on bottom....kid as just as just as bad on bottom as Mastro. If Reece was at 125 for the BIg XII's...he finishes the same as Mastro if not worse. Both have limited offense...only difference is Mastro can ride...Reece can't.
CorrectDo I have this right? Fix bonus win + Boo win + Demas loss would mean that OU can’t finish ahead of us. I know there are a ton of scenarios but that seems pretty clean.
1 point for the difference in 3rd and 4th and one point for the major.Why did Geer just get 2 points for his win? We were at 110 before his match and it was showing 112 after his major.
uo - 120Team scores?
Not sure how the team score moved after Geer's match but Track definitely didn't award a bonus point for the major.1 point for the difference in 3rd and 4th and one point for the major.

This whole tournament many of our wrestlers did not seem to push for bonus points especially Boo, Wittlake in the consolations did not get any bonus points. We do not need a new Coach. However in talking about Kaid's 3rd knee injury he questioned how we are doing things and if we are doing things wrong. Kaid response was that he loved the Cowboy way and John felt better. John should quit feeling good and start to really assess himself and the entire Program. Our recruiting is improving but our lack of wrestlers developing through the season is crippling. Also we need to work on motivating our wrestlers better. Penn. St has actually stuck with Iowa a little bit in the Big 10 Tournament. They have 6 freshmen wrestling. Sanderson as a Coach is like John was as a wrestler ( looking for innovation) ways to improve and win. John as a wrestler went to legal extremes to win but not as a Coach. I was excited and saw an opportunity to regain the College Wrestling Throne but reality is taking my excitement daily as this year has progressed. So many of you express opinions that we are doing fine and getting better. We might not win the weak Big 12 this year and Oklahoma might win it( the team that can not develop wrestlers). Anyone who thinks Penn. St. won't beat us in the future if big changes don't occur, is looking at wrestling thru orange and black lenses. We need Ferrari to win tonight, I think Sloan has shoulder problems like Dustin has and had to wear a heavy shoulder brace to wrestle this weekend. A win over Buchanon would really indicate Ferrari will do very good at Nationals( I'm hoping for a National Championship at 197 for us). Win the Big 12 and get 2 National Champions would get some momentum back on our side.Why did Geer just get 2 points for his win? We were at 110 before his match and it was showing 112 after his major.

They have 3 in the finals as well. We're ahead of them in team points. If we win our 3 and they win their 3, then we'll be ahead of them still.You all are forgetting isu.

Of course if. WYO could technically still win if they win all 4 of theirs and uo loses all of theirs. This final round is gonna be very exciting!
Any idea what the tiebreaker is?
