... starts NOW!!
good luck to everyone and hopefully its a great tournament!
whos everyone rootin for? any upsets youd like to see?
should be some crazy matches all weekend

Go Hawkeyes!!!
Penn State should run away with the title, such a stacked lineup.
Next 3 days are the real March Madness!!!

Been pulling for the PSU wrestling since before it was cool, so I'm wanting the Lions to take it of course.

133 is just crazy to try to pick but RBY should at least make All American with his crazy athletic ability as long as he quits trying the Cary Kolat back flip escape from a single leg
141 Sure would like to see Lee pull it out
157 Nolf is a no brainer
165 Joseph over Marinelli would be an upset at this point but can't see Vincenzo losing in his hometown
174 Hall has to be the favorite but he 's been in a lot of tight matches this year soooo
184 Can Rasheed get to the finals to have a shot a Marten???
197 Bo...Nuff said
285 The most intriguing to me is the marry go round of 1 lose guys. White beat Cassar, Steveson beat White, and Cassar beat Steveson so who the heck knows. I think the way the seeding is that Cassar will have to beat Gable again the make it to the finals probably against White.

Lions should roll again barring injuries, and early upsets by a few.

Bristleback.....Agreed about the March Madness comment. Iowa is somewhat Pennsylvania west as a third of their line-up is PA boys. Murin is from just up the road from me and Franklin/Murrysville high school just keeps pumping out great talent. BTW I go to church with referee Nate Chapman. He's the guy that was working the Nolf match against Rutgers last year when Nolf injured his knee. Lots of folks thought it should have been stopped as PD.

Penn State of course. Trying to work and follow the tournament at same time. No worse than the folks watching the pumpkin pushers today I suppose.

knew you'd show up Les.

anyone know what tv channel??

Wrestling- "It's what men do during Boy's Basketball Season"
Good Luck to all

First session is on for another 40 minutes on ESPNU. On ESPN tonight for 2nd session.
Pennsylvania is golden ground for producing top flight wrestlers, 53 in this tournament, next 2 states have 24 each. Iowa has 12 n Oklahoma 11, WOW!!

Wrestling, it’s what men do during basketball season, love it!!!!

anybody over there today?

If you have cable, sign in on ESPN3 online and can watch any mat live. Check trackwrestling or Flo arena for mat assignments , brackets, scores, etc.

thanx guys,saved me a bunch a searchin later.--what's this basketball thing you talk of?

I dont think Joseph can beat Marinelli.

You know me. Wouldn't miss a post about wrestling. I don't write much considering I do most of my trapperman from my phone though.

Can or will? If you only watched the big ten finals match I could see that. I'm stopping short from predicting a cenzo win if they meet in the finals here. But no one thought he had a chance against imar last two years either. One things for certain, he will wrestle a bit differently next time.

Well said!

Wrestling is a 100% go sport.

6 mins in high school to 7 mins in college its all out non stop go. No breaks.

If you think I'm crazy try running in place for 7 mins as fast as you can and do jumping jacks too.

Pumpkin bouncers could never survive a wrestling workout!

the one on one aspect is what i like to see.nobody to blame but yourself.

It was easy to idealize Dan Gable's work ethic growing up- the pride of Iowa and for PA- Ken Chertow gave my son the best advice as a coach and mentor... "Never accept being good- when you dream of being great"

well your 184 question has been answered, rasheed goes to the losers bracket early. talk about an upset!

I’m an ISU fan, so we are gaining, and because of this I’ve been a bigger basketball fan for years. I’ve a friend that’s a huge iowa fan and asked him what happened against Oklahoma State and all I got was vulgar language.

Hahahahaha ok then. But it’s still boring as (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) to watch. There’s a reason it’s a niche sport. Supply and demand. And...the demand..well..yeah. I always find it laughable that wrestling fans can’t just enjoy their sport without taking shots at basketball. Inferiority complex it seems.
