PrintMidlands coverage (all times CT):
12/29: 9:30am -- Session I, 7pm -- Session II (Quarterfinals, consolation rounds)
12/30: 12pm -- Session III (Semifinals, consolation rounds), 7:20pm -- Session IV (Finals, consolation rounds)
TV: Northwestern All-Access (Thursday Quarterfinals); BTN (9:30pm CT; tape-delayed coverage of Friday's Finals)
Radio: Takedown Radio (internet radio), Hawkeye All-Access ($$$), AM-800 KXIC (free if you're in Iowa)
Liveblog: The Open Mat / Andy Hamilton at Hawk Central. I'll also be open threading the event on Thursday and Friday.
BRACKET: Right here.
And, yes, BTN's airing of the Finals will also be opposite the Insight Bowl. It appears that you can also access NW All-Access if you're a video.BTN.com subscriber, too.
NOTE: Given everything else we have going on -- the Insight Bowl tomorrow, Purdue b-ball wrap-up, the usual random insanity we're prone to delve into -- the Midlands Open Threads are going to be run as FanPosts so that they don't get lost in the shuffle. I'll bump them occasionally, but you should always be able to find them on the right-hand side of the page in the Fanposts section.

Here's another radio stream
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I imagine this will be a better stream for us.
Probably more likely to focus on the Iowa wrestlers.

No Iowa guys going in the first round.

hopefully it won’t interfere with wrestling

You're building a pub?
Awesome. I’m going to come visit it when you’re done.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
That would be better
It is a publication for a journal.

Are there a bunch of dry counties down there?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Eh, Lubbock used to be a dry city
They had this strip of sin just outside the town where you could go and get your booze and zippered pants.

You really like throwing stuff, huh?
Parsimony methods are the easiest ones to explain - Felsenstein
when I was a kid. You’d think I’d have a better throwing arm. When I got to college, some of my roommates had he-men throwing arms and it was then I realized how pathetic mine was. Another, in a series of athletic disappointments. When your athletic talent consists of being really skinny and running long distances, it’s tough to impress the ladies.
Did you try growing a mustache like Steve Prefontaine?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
In my dreams. You know how some guys achieve their adult height at age 13, and it’s all downhill from there? Yeah, I achieved my adult height about age 24. I was a slow maturer.
Rough go, hoss
1000 years ago you would have stopped growing like two weeks before you died from old age

At least he would have died at his physical peak.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Yeah, not so sucky now. Hair on my head, etc. My oldest brother was, and is, opposite of me. Of course, he tortured the shit out of me when I was 10-14 and he was 15-19. Bastard. I could take him now though.

It is a tough job market out there. They actually sent me a pdf with their evaluations of all the candidates. I can’t really argue about the guys they went with. It was a three year position and they had guys who had been at major universities for 10 years applying.

Did you tell them lutefisk was your favorite food?
That might have swayed them.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
They thought that since I hadn't taught or done field work in Norway
I might be at a disadvantage. They also said I was young and too early in my career.

For some reason, they didn't keep team scores in the early 90s.

Per Hamilton, these are Iowa's point scorers
McDonough, Ramos, Marion, Kelly, Evans, Lofthouse, Gambrall, Telford, Clark and Rasing.
That’s almost exactly what I predicted. I had Moore instead of Kelly, though.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I suppose they want to put some "real world" pressure on Kelly anyway.
I think they are really hoping he will work out there.

MY POSTING SHOULDER OH NOES
I’m gonna have to go on the IR, I think.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
So tomorrow night we've got the Insight Bowl, Midlands finals, and UFC 141.
I’ll have to set La Nina down for bed at 7 o’clock.
Tomorrow is the most ridiculous sports night for my personal interests that I can recall in a long, long time.
In addition to all those, I’m going to the Heat-Timberwolves game and I would absolutely watch the Bulls-Clippers game if I could.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
My brother is in town tomorrow night and we're going to Medieval Times
at the same time the Insight Bowl starts. It’s DVR for both the bowl and Midlands. I will be going slowly insane while watching jousting and falconry. Thankfully I won’t have any silverware to stab myself with.

Yeah.
I was looking at the poster for tomorrow night’s show while I was at Hooters last night (delightfully tacky! also tasty wings) and noticed that it said they were moving back to 9pm CT as the permanent start time. I wonder if they think the 8pm start time cost them buys.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
That was odd.
Maybe the west coasters were annoyed by the incredibly early starts. Fights were over by 9 out in Vegas, that can’t be good for local buys.

She came at (bro!) outta nowhere one day when I was tweeting about Ruth and talking to somebody (I forget who) about Evans. Jumped in with some nice smack reminding me that Evans has beaten Ruth in HS.
It was good stuff, made better by the fact I couldn’t tell at first if it was a sister or a mother.

165: Evans DEC (8-1) Smith
Smith had no intention of wrestling in that match. He got THREE STALL POINTS called against him. Absurd.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I have only ever heard of a handfull of matches that had 3 stall points awarded
One more stall call and it would have been match over, right?

3 stalls and an illegal move
Or is it four of the same?

My guess is Lira, just because 184 is such a nasty weight.

Although Lira has a shot at a low AA if he peaks at the right time
You can see the intensity and energy he brings, which can do a lot for a wrestler in a brutal tourney like nationals

And, as always, a LOT depends on matchups and potential upsets, too. If things break right… who knows?

The problem is mainly at 184 and 197
Lofthouse is a little inconsistent, but mostly pretty good at 174.
Gambrall’s injury really threw a monkeywrench in things, though, because it gave us two weak weights up there. We have some promising-looking recruits coming in there, but they may not be able to help much until 2013.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"

That was nutty.
Gambrall got a TD late that would have given him a MD with the RT point, but he immediately cut him, which meant he needed to get ANOTHER TD in the last few seconds to secure the MD. He got it just as time was expiriing, but… just ride him out next time, yeah?

Great start for all your scorers. That’s a lot of bonus. Which, as noted, likely won’t come into play after PLC pts start arriving. Especially with all the would-be opponents not showing up (Boris, Derosches, Quiroga, Flores, Rey). Getting those last 4Plc pts for 1st place seems to have lost a few of its possible obstacles.

Nothing changes when I tap it. There’s also ‘refresh’, ‘mark all read’ & ‘go to bottom’. I keep hitting the refresh button at the bottom of the thread. Sometimes that one says something different (maybe it’s the ‘load all comments’ or some such button then?)- again, no change when I hit if. Boo!

Hmm.
I’ve got an android app which has a “load all” button. Initial loading of a thread shows only the first 200 comments. After hitting “load all” the button changes to “refresh”.
I prefer the app for comment threads, but that’s because the android browser doesn’t auto-refresh, and takes far longer to update when I try to refresh a thread.

My brother (he is there) says the following:
He teched the first guy.
he says that with the second guy Ramos would cut him and the kid would stay in the fetal position and not get up. Ramos just kept cutting him and coming around for two. He got something like 7 takedowns that way.

Tony got 3 or 4 takedowns towards the end from the sound of it.

Wagner got like a bazillion stall points.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
According to his PBP, Wagner got FIVE stall warning points.
Based on what we were talking about earlier, shouldn’t the match have been stopped?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Yeah, if the rule was interpreted correctly Wagner should have been awarded a fall.

Per the liveblog
There are no stall DQs anymore.
Change made as of this year.

Hmm.
Maybe they were afraid they’d have too many DQs with the renewed focus on stalling.

Nice to see them calling stalling so much this year, though.

Per Hamilton rule changed this year
No more 2 point stalls or stall DQs.
I think I like having the DQ rule more.
If you’re doing so little to warrant FOUR stall warnings, they should just end the match.

Joe Tessitore called all of the Friday night games on ESPN, and a handful of other games.
An incredibly disproportionate number of those games (probably 75% or so) were really fun, exciting games and usually had really crazy, dramatic finishes.

Quesiton on Tony
Sorry I am in and out of airports all day so I am a bit behind (same thing tomorrow miss finals and bowl game)…
I know how he is doing point wise. As much as I love to see him through up 20+ points in a match it does worry me some. Last year he had trouble on top, anyone know how he looks on top. Is he just cutting guys in the second and third period to get the T? Takedown clinics are great but it will be hard for him to do that against Oliver…From what it looks like he has scored a lot of takedowns late after his opponents are broken and he is still going crazy….Not really worried about him, just like to see him getting those Falls.

but that is how
metcalf lost in the finals….Caldwell just said he had his number all night, Metcalf set up with a very similar set up/takedown and Caldwell was able to defend it….Tony is very similar in that he likes to get his hands inside, get just a hair below his guy and then go…

Yeah, I dunno -- some guys are just bad matchups.
We’ll get a chance to see how Tony stacks up with Oliver in about ten days, so that’s nice. Then we can see how much work he has to do before NCAAs.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I think he's better on top and he's utilized it sometimes.
Not so much today, admittedly.
I think, stylistically, though, he’s just more of a go go go, rack up takedowns kinda guy. That’s not so bad. (Although obviously that might not work so well against Oliver. Of course, there’s also not really a good strategy for beating Oliver…)
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Telford tried to lift his opponent and was denied.

Same story with him, though -- aggressive wrestling late in the match.
He needs to wrestle aggressive earlier in matches.
