    2025 Final X — June 14

    I am thinking Fujita or Utake might have done this on the senior level, but not any of our domestic guys.

    NCAA PORTAL

    Most highly successful people are. I am sure that he is hyper focused and that comes off weird. If he wants to support OU wrestling as well that is great. I am pretty confidant that he does not want to be the only OSU wrestling supporter.

    There has always been plenty of booster money at OU. Wrestling is more fun when bedlam is competitive. Always loved beating Stan Abel teams. Hated it when we lost though.

    UNC cannot take AJ's reputation. They do not mind taking a hit for basketball, but not wrestling.

    OSU Women’s Team

    The tipping point gets much higher if we have a women's team for me. My guess is I contribute more than Travis25 does. Actually he asked me to contribute less previously.

    Next Years Lineup

    I think 125 will be like last year. One of 12 guys could be the champ and there will be many expected All Americans that don't wrestle on Saturday. The difference in talent is small. Spratley was the fourth seed in the Big 12 last year and only two Big 12 guys AA'd in 2025. That is a tough...

    That is pretty ugly for Iowa. The two from Arizona State sure fizzled. One was due to injury right?

    Eric Wais

    I remember he an Leroy were almost inseparable. He was such a stud. I think he was the beginning of the run of champions that when we won the Big 8 in 1978 over Iowa State in the Monosmith upset Santana and then Jimmy Jackson's pin.
