    They need to go to more opens and get more opportunities at matches. The limited number of matches added to a stacked big 10 schedule really hurts against the Ivy and ACC puff schedules.

    Iowa lands Ryan Crookham

Then you could pull from the freezer the Star and have a great night! That stuff wouldn’t freeze, could freeze it over night and it was...

    AJ going to be a Hawk?

    Terry Brands freshman year would have been the two or three seed at nationals. it wasn’t not “ because he wasn’t ready” that he didn’t make the roster for Big 10’s that year. Steve Martin beat Brands in a tryout before Big 10’s and ended up the 8 seed at nationals. He was also the 8 seed at...
