Wrestling can be a quite insular sport

We have a Top-3 guy at 5 weights, and two more Top-10 guys to boot (out of 10 weignts), and we’re only #2-ranked as a team. That speaks to a very small group of competitive schools.

I spent half my life's earnings on wine, women & song. The other half I wasted.

To be #1

you need UNICORN POWER!

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

...and yet, it is still better than any other sport ever.

These preseason ranking

 are not worth the toilet paper they are written on. Last year’s preseason rankings had freshman David Taylor at #9 or #10 at 149. This year they have Dylan Carew at #18? If Carew wrestles anywhere close to his potential then he AA’s in March. They also have Raising listed at #8 behind Tony Nelson (#4) of Minnesota whom Raising destroyed in the Big Ten finals and he is 3 spots behind Wade of ISU. If Raising can turn up the offense consistently this season I can see him finish in the top 4. Finally, the trio of Russell , Novachkov and Marion are about as evenly matched as can be and any one of those guys could be the national champ. My money is on Montell.

What are they supposed to do with Carew? He wrestled like four matches last year before his knees exploded.

He hasn’t proved jack yet.

Re: Rasing-Nelson — yes, Rasing beat him h2h, but Nelson was an All-America at the NCAA Tournament and Blake went out like a wet fart at that tournament.

I am not saying they should do anything

just pointing out that these preseason picks are not the most accurate and you have to let go of your Rasing hate or it will fester. Rasing is on the Rise, you heard it here first.
