Sure wished Mizzou was competing in the duals. But I also remember when they wrestled at Reno and had some good results. Got to think New Orleans would be a fun place to watch wrestling and check out the local scene. Too bad we don't see more college wrestling programs in the south. Was actually glad to see wrestling started at Arkansas-Little Rock. Good luck to all the dual teams.

I'm a Bryce Andonian fan also. The kid is "electric" with his unorthodox style. Jacques is the total opposite with a controlled conservative style and low scoring matches. Was looking forward to this match but good chance they may see each other down the line.

I'm a Mizzou fan, but give credit where credit is due. Virginia Tech has been a tough dual for the Tigers and have won the last 3 outings. All have been nail biters. Your only as tough as the company you keep and I'd rather take a close lost that prepares you for post season, than easy W's that measure nothing and are not as intriguing to follow. Building a deep roster, developing talent, and staying healthy are all part of the equation of W's and L's. I'm most proud of the fact that 5 of the 10 wrestlers in the lineup were products of Missouri high schools and chose the "Tiger Style" culture. Brian Smith is as concerned about building "good men" as he is building "good wrestlers!" If he continues to keep most the best "Show Me" wrestlers at home, we will be ok.

Mizzou is a little dinged also. Not to be making excuses, it's next man up.
