You guys watch Raw this past Monday night?

Anybody going to NCAA championships this year in OKC? I've never been but I hear it's a pretty decent time. I was thinking about finding a day 1 or day 2 ticket and driving up from San Antonio. Any experiences with this event?

No, but certainly something on my bucket list after my son's out of college.

I've never watched the NCAA championships in person...with my brothers and I being split so far in age, I've always been pre-occupied with the youth and high school scene and have never had time for it. And in college, despite the fact that I was a wild, wild, drunk-ass, party animal...I wrestled and had the time to follow it...but during that phase my attention was elsewhere...either that or I just forgot everything from that phase in my life.

If you want to troll some Iowa fans, go to hawkeyereport.com... easy as hell to troll those guys. I've never done it personally, but have seen countless others do it.

I have a difficult time being exclusively an Iowa fan. The reason being, the Iowa Hawkeye wrestling fan base is just awful...these people act despicable at home events. It's embarrassing to be a part of, really. I just kind of pick and choose a bunch of wrestlers who I root for and don't root for a particular team because of that. I tend to follow Iowa more, simply because it's Iowa Hawkeye wrestling that I am exposed to constantly, but man...that fan base....they are obnoxious...and easy as hell to troll from what I've noticed.

That's pretty easy to do. However, I think Hawks will surprise and finish a strong second. That's really all that's up for grabs. Cael and PSU will win another title pretty convincingly.

Despite their boring wrestlers, Iowa is definitely in a good position. They could upset PSU if all things go right. And next year they'll be right back in the race...unfortunately.

I agree they are boring wrestlers. Tony Ramos is the exception. I used to hate him, now I find myself rooting for him. Love the staredown.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Not a fan of Ramos. Though he does create action that makes for good matches. Loved seeing him get stuck by Joe Colon. Clark at least will bring more than Gilman at 125. Other than that I really only enjoy watching St. John. Guess the guys are really learning a lot from the king of snoozers--Ryan Morningstar

You mean Morningstall. St john wrestles boring matches too. Ramos won't loose another match this season. Write it down.

Morningstar lost his first ever wrestling match in high school. To my brother. Man, I was brother-buffoon in that match...lucky I didn't have some Lisbon dudes wanting to fight me.

I love the guy, but man...like watching paint dry.

Joe Colon is the shit. I'm rooting for him on the college scene, moreso than I am rooting for pretty much anyone.

Did some research on track. Congrats to your bro at sectionals. Is Assumption still in the same district? Sucks since y'all are seemingly the two best 2A teams in the state. Getting your 120 pounder through to state would be huge.

Thanks man! Assumption isn't in our district, but Albia is...Albia is a good traditional tournament team. I think they are ranked 2nd. Shea will be the favorite in the bracket next week considering he is the only ranked kid, but no one at districts is ever anyone to take lightly... Expecting to see every opponent at the top of their games.

Our 120 lber placed 3rd at 106 lbs last year, but has been a bit small at 120 lbs this year...today he gave the returning 113 lb state champ a run for his money. I think the final score ended up being 8-7...was a great match...Our 120 lber has seemed undersized all season, but actually looked like a 120 lber today...I think he has grown physically into the spot.

If we get our heavyweight through, I will be so pumped. He has come so far from last season.

Now off to districts for my 8th grade bro tomorrow...hoping for an all-around good weekend for both of them.

Today was fun.

Good deal. I was looking at last year's district results and saw Assumption was in district 1 with y'all. I knew your 120 pounder was tough, but thought he might catch a tough bracket with Green and the Assumption kid (Gould). Just top 2 advance, right? That's why I was thinking it would be a crucial weight. But Im glad to hear they aren't in the same district this year.
