Mizzou Wrestling for a Title Tomorrow
All told, a pretty positive night for the wrestling Tigers, as they will finish the season with a team record five All-Americans and very likely a top-7 finish nationally. The wrestle-back finals will be tomorrow around noon on ESPN, and Mizzou will have four wrestlers participating, while Mark...
Mizzou Links, 3-17-09
As rpt mentioned in comments last night, what a difference a year makes. One great season, and suddenly Mike Anderson has seen his reputation skyrocket just like Gary Pinkel did not too long ago. They're just like peas and carrots... "He had to transition people, make them disciplined,"...
Big XII Wrestling Championship Wrap-Up
Another Big XII Championship has come and gone, and with an interesting twist this time around. As I talked about in this piece, Nebraska could potentially have had a shot at overtaking Iowa State this season, especially if 125 champion Paul Donahoe were still on the team. In the end, the Big XII...
Big XII Wrestling Championship Preview
{no update, but I will move it back to the top for a little longer until The Boy's aTm Preview later this evening. If I can, I will come back around and add the seeds whenever they are actually released} I have poured up and down the site to try to link to my preview from last year, but it seems...
Pretty Significant Changes to Selection Criteria for 2009 NCAA Wrestling Championships
So...you know how I said all year that the top three from each of the ten weight classes in the Big XII automatically qualify for the NCAA Tournament? Um....yeah....I was wrong. The NCAA instituted some pretty serious changes in the selection criteria, and released those recently. Turns out,...
Wrestling Wrap-Up: Weekend in Oklahoma
I think I am going to forgo the Monday Musings for a little while longer, but I did want to review a pretty big weekend for the Tigers which they just had down in Oklahoma. Used to be the Tigers would travel down to OK and be lucky to come out with one win of the two. The power has shifted a bit,...
Wrestling Live Thread: Mizzou @ Cornell
So...I have this one Fox Sports something-or-other....I will cover it live as best I can as the #12 Tigers travel up to #2 Cornell to take on the Big Red Starting at 125, 11-15 Troy Dolan vs. #2 Nickerson who is 8-0 Updates to come in the thread.
National Duals Preview: Iowa
Yeah...lord knows I am setting myself up here for disappointment in looking at this, but hey...it may give some of you a better idea about the one of the top (if not THE top) programs in the nation. I don't know that this is going to need a lot of extra thought, so this one may be a tad shorter...
National Duals Preview: #4 Nebraska
Assuming Mizzou is able to get past the #14 ranked Nittany Lions at 9am, they would then face the Huskers coming back at 1pm. The 4/5 matchup would likely lead to a semi-final showdown against the #1 seeded Iowa Hawkeyes who are the unanimous #1 team in the nation following their come-from-behind...
National Duals Preview: #14 Penn State
The National Dual Tournament in Cedar Rapids Falls, IA (campus of University of Northern Iowa) might be my favorite wrestling event of the season. It is the only one of it's kind, as you wrestle dual meets (team on team) in a tournament format. There has actually been some talk about instituting...
