    2026-27 National Duals

    Apparently the same as the IVY teams, which is exams. I heard Robie speak about it on FLO. I don’t get it, aren’t basketball players playing games in December at that time? They have tournaments then too.

    Big 12 to PAC 12?

    I gotta think having Mark Branch as HC helped keep Wyoming in the Big 12. We need to do whatever we can to keep Northern Iowa. Schwab is a really good coach and we need as many competitive wrestling teams as possible in the Big 12.

    I’ll be honest. I hate OU but I don’t hate OU wrestling. I watch their duals. I cheer for their wrestlers (unless they are wrestling us). I want them to get better. Honestly, I feel sorry for their wrestlers because of the lack of interest of their fans and athletic department. They deserve more...

    Other notable results and news

    I’m sure the schools leaving will be full members of the PAC12 in all sports. I’m kind of surprised Wyoming didn’t go as well. I guess neither them or Utah Valley got a PAC invite. I think Little Rock should definitely be added to the Big 12 as an affiliate member. So what do we have now? 9...

    How close was it?

    Any idea when his injury happened? He was pretty offensive and impressive during the All Star Dual but wasn’t much after that. Was it a long time injury that continue to get aggravated? Did it happen in a dual or practice. Again, for all the Doctors on here, I’m not looking for a diagnosis or...

    Carl and DT

    The only difference from what Cael said versus what AJ Ferrari said is AJ named a name. Both equally unprofessional.

    If that championship match had a minute extra left in it, I think MM wins it. He was all over Carr and coming back.

    Obviously I’m not a doctor or expert. I was just referencing Plotts injury a few years back. As I said, there are probably varying degrees of the injury. My point was it may not be a given that Ryder had to take a medical next year.

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    I like this lineup but I think Facundo needs to move down to 165. He just didn’t show the strength needed to win at Nationals at 174. He was beaten pretty regularly by BIG wrestlers through out the season. Kennedy, Minto and Mantanona and the Illini wrestler to close his season. This is not a...

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    It’s an interesting concept and would definitely pay off in 28,29 and 30. It seems like David wants to build with a new stepping stone each year. We hit second place this year and as you said Penn State won’t likely be beat next year. David has definitely shown that he wants the very best...

    Didn’t Dustin Plott have to have the same surgery on his shoulder as Ryder will? Plott didn’t have to redshirt. I know there may be varying degrees of injury between the two but if I remember right Plott made the finals the next season. I just don’t see Ryder wanting to redshirt unless he has...

    Nebraska Dual

    Steve Martin?

    That’s what I was thinking. MM is gonna win regardless of which weight class he’s in. Duke hinted in post match that he might be moving up but Penn State is like us with lots of options.

    Nebraska Dual

    Well looks like if Robideau stays at 157 Taylor will get a rematch since he will be a senior next year. They probably see each other twice, in Stillwater and at National Duals. That is unless Taylor ducks again at NDLS. I always thought he was a b—-h.

    Next Year’s Lineup '26

    Would Jax be at 141 or 149? Vega is perfect at 141 but what is his cut? I don’t think Swiderski could go 157. When he wrestled Block today his was much smaller than him. Casey would be undersized at 157. Lockett also seems undersized at 174. Ryder just got 8th with a messed up shoulder and...
