Re: WyoNation Blog: UW Basketball scheduling

i'd like that being able to play Ohio St, but Akron would be better, Florida teams, I'm sure Larry can pull some strings to have us go to Gainesville, as long as we get some more quality teams next year I agree. I liked our series with the Akron Zips and I think it is a city that we need to continu...

I sure wish we had Marcus Harris now. Although, the WR position might be deeper than it was in 1996.

Re: The other side of Dave Christensen [Frederickson]

Glad to see practices open and accurate injury information. Having a good relationship with the media and the people of the state is important. Frederickson is leaving; so he really didn't need to write this article. Makes me think DC is really being sincere.

Re: Rashad Muhammad

Plus he should be able to contribute right away as he should be more mature than a typical incoming freshman...probably comparable to the age of a junior/senior :lol:

Re: Cornell's Dake wins 4 national titles in 4 different wei

David Taylor won an NCAA title last year and also the 2012 wrestler of the year award (over Dake). Taylor lost in the championship match as a freshman in 2011. Most in the wrestling community favored Taylor over Dake going into this season. Taylor is legit and IMO will be a future olympian as well. ...

Re: Cornell's Dake wins 4 national titles in 4 different wei

He actually trained in London with the team in 2012. I think unless something goes seriously wrong that he will medal at the 2016 games. What is almost more impressive is that there have been only three 4-time champs. Dake is the only one to have not taken a redshirt year. I would say Dake has had a...

Re: Wrestling Nationals Update Part Deux

Alfonso - 7th
Cox - 8th

Slightly disappointing tournament; however, 2 All-Americans is still pretty damn good! Congrats to those guys! Cox still has 2 years of eligibility left!

Everyone is a tough draw when it comes down to the final 8. Sprenkle and Cox are the lowest seeded wrestlers remaining in the tournament at 125.

It is worth mentioning that Cox beat Sprenkle in their last matchup by decision 6-2 (at the time considered an upset).

Re: Wrestling Nationals Update Part Deux

COX is an All American!!!!

He now faces familiar foe Sprenkle of North Dakota State (who beat the #3 seed McDonough out of Iowa). I just had a good feeling Cox would be facing Sprenkle.

Re: Wrestling Nationals Update Part Deux

Disappointing by Hernandez. He had beaten Meeks multiple times this year. Now the focus is 3rd!! He can do it and will likely have to face Meeks again to do it! McCade Ford and Brandon Richardson should be commended for their wins. They weren't exactly the favorites in those matches. Very disappoint...

Re: Cowboy wrestling wins 4th straight WWC title

UNC was suspended from postseason wrestling by the NCAA due to their academic issues. I believe their APR was under 900 and I believe they were the only wrestling team in te country to be suspended.
