KCMO2 625 Report post Posted February 9 10 hours ago, nhs67 said: They need to be there or we'll see a bunch of overseeded undefeated Mizzou grapplers. Mizzou's done what they can. Of the top 15 ranked teams (14 besides the Tigers), they can't wrestle 7 of them (Big 10), the 3 ACC teams only wrestle non-conf. cupcakes (none of them wrestle a non-conf. top 20 team), and they wrestle or are scheduled to wrestled the remaining 4. 3 gallison, nhs67 and Housebuye reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerfan 178 Report post Posted February 9 10 hours ago, nhs67 said: They need to be there or we'll see a bunch of overseeded undefeated Mizzou grapplers. Boo hoo! I’m so tired of this sentiment. Mizzou has proven itself to be one of the top teams for over a decade, better than anyone other than the big 4 and maybe Cornell, going back 15 years. Maybe you want NCAA DI wrestling reduced to the Big 12/10, but most of us think that’s foolhardy. Every year there are multiple threads about how good Brian Smith is, and how underrated he remains, despite his unparalleled success. Your ignorance is showing. 2 gallison and Show_Me reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am and have been pro-Mizzou ever since I watched Lewis with that... what was it a 6m50s riding time? So you can also stfu with your bitterness. Kindly, of course. You Mizzoufolk get so defensive over stupid $HlT it's fckn embarrassing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_MO_Godfather 43 Report post Posted February 10 I don’t really see the difference in sending some of their wrestlers vs. all of their wrestlers to Stillwater (related to COVID) unless they plan to quarantine those that go when they get back. And then the starters that don’t go won’t have practice partners if they’re in quarantine. This just leads me to believe that if Smith says some are going, they’re all going (as it relates to skipping for COVID concerns). There would have to be another reason if some starters don’t make the trip, whether that’s rest or nursing an injury. No way Smith or his team ducks anybody. 1 gallison reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they added allowing some backup extra match/draw-ins? Was 5 teams when schedule was released.

XiXiTiger 38 Report post Posted February 10 Smith made a comment about R Elam probably not wrestling again until MACs. Pretty sure O'Toole's dad commented on FRL that Keegan wouldn't be there either. Probably most interested to see if Kent or Hawks wrestles. Heard on powermizzou that Kent is out for reasons unrelated to performance, so hopefully he makes it back. Seems weird to send half the team if they're worried about COVID, but maybe they plan to keep them separate in practices. Or maybe they're only sending starters that are pretty much locks for at-large NCAA bids if they miss MACs. Also heard on FRL that Fix would be back this weekend.

Looking at Ervin's wrestlestat page, he seems to keep matches low scoring and is getting better too (up from #146 last year). Beat #25 Spann 5-1 and lost to Kaid Brock 12-7 a few weeks ago. 1 ionel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
