According to an interview with Brands on Flowrestling Kelly is sick and didn't make the trip. He didn't flat out say it but he also seemed to be implying Kelly is the guy at 149.

So Dake is "great" but Taylor, who's basically at exactly the same level is not? Ruth is probably the best wrestler at ANY weight right now, and that includes Dake. Dake can't toy with good opponents the way Ruth does.

After Gambrall hit that sick double leg I thought he somehow had a chance at beating Ruth... but it didn't take me long to remember Ruth was in a league of his own. Fantastic win. I still think PSU is a much better tourney team and will win handily at the NCAAs, but after tonight I like our...

125- Megaludis is not aggressive. McD will have to beat himself in order to lose. Iowa 3-0 133- Ramos dominates. Iowa 7-0 141- Ballweg dominates another subpar opponent by MD. Iowa 11-0 149- Alton MD Kelly. I think Alton is better than Ness. Iowa 11-4 157- DSJ dec. Alton. This is a must have...

Looking back over it, it seems like my basic addition skills failed badly. At least I got the criteria win right. Anyway, McD is looking better in the sense he seems to not be sick/gassed at the end of matches. He'll be just fine. Moore looked absolutely dominant aside from the last 20 seconds...

125: McD by dec. He hasn't been able to get bonus points against subpar/decent opponents 133: Ramos by dec 141: Ballweg by dec. I feel he's really underrated. 149: Ness by dec if wrestling Kelly, Ness by major if wrestling Grothus 157: DSJ by dec. Like McD he's had trouble with bonus points...

Grant Gambrall may have just found himself a second chance to start...

Lololol what on earth was that guy who fouled Marble doing? Looked ridiculous.

I will hold nothing against Kelly, Moore or Burak for their losses. Kelly wrestled Oliver as well, if not better, than anyone all year. Moore could've been more aggressive but he lost on a questionable call to a very good opponent. Burak was great with his aggression, just couldn't finish...

Huh? How did this ref agree with your point of view that backpoints can't be called if the wrestler on bottom has a hold of his opponent's leg?

125: McD by major. Iowa 4-0. 133: Ramos by decision. He can certainly get bonus points but Morrison looks much better this year than last. Iowa 7-0. 141: Ballweg by decision. Again, he's capable of getting a major here I think, but with it being on the road I'll stick with a normal decision...

Does anyone know what the deal with McD is? I'm assuming it's just a persistent flu or something, but that's just my speculation. Has he at least been practicing somewhat regularly if not wrestling in meets?

Huh? Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm by no means a genius having only wrestled for about two years in my life but if he had been awarded the reversal he would have also gotten back points as DSJ was pretty close to being stuck.

Agreed, I do hope that if DSJ gets another chance to wrestle Demas he absolutely dominates him, because after reading through the kid's twitter account I've reached the conclusion that I strongly dislike him. He retweeted literally every single tweet saying he was screwed by the refs. Although...

My thoughts on things: 125: McD looked out of shape... lots of trouble on bottom. Anyone know if he had some persisting illness? 133: Nothing new with Ramos, dominant as usual. That couldn't have possibly been Ohio State's second best guy at the weight class though. 141: Ballweg is slow moving...
