Vito made RBY looks very slow.

Glory may have got the title but Ramos made a name for himself this weekend. 
 
Great post match interview by Glory though.  Pure emotion trying to recall everything and everyone that got him to that moment. Gotta love it. 

Purdue is making a big effort to put a bid to  make this work. I talked to some members of the Purdue Contingency of my neighbor,  West Lafayette Mayor Dennis, Purdue AD  Mike Bobinski,  wrestling coach Tony Ersland wrestling coach and former Purdue president Mitch Daniels whose a big wrestling fan.
 
Mayor Dennis thinks this a great economic Development opportunity and feels that between Lafayette and West Lafayette, that the hotel situation and restaurant and hotel situation are ideal, and said if the community can host huge football games, that we easily have the infrastructure to handle this big event. 
 
Mike Bobinski has been in contact with the BIG 10 office on coordinating the schedule.  They feel they could move Saturday's BB gane to Sunday and would not compromise the schedule.    Mike even said that the IHSAA felt Mackey would be the next best venue in the state after Gainbridge.  They felt it had a much better setup then IU Assembly Hall and IHSAA was getting assistance from  Tony Ersland to ambassador the tournament.  Word was this be a great they like  partnership with IHSAA and the premier collegewrestling team in the in Indiana.             
 
Faulkner also weighed in, he's really concerned about travel cost and burden of having the event in Evansville.  He said the geographic location of West Lafayette would be ideal.  
 
Mitch Daniel's wants to make this happen and is fostering his connections with  the IHSAA and BIG to facilitate an agreement.
 
             
 
Also, I gotta friend who works at the West Lafayette Hiilton Garden Inn whose a big wrestling fan.  He said the IHSAA bought a 15 room block for that weekend.     
 
Also, word on street is this that if this goes down, that Purdue would let XXX restraunt run a concession stand at Mackey during the event.  I don't if know if the Fort or Evansville could top that.  
 
I even gave a call to Matt Painter.  He was a big wrestling fan back in his Delta days, and would be glad to work around the schedule to make this work.   The ball is rolling.

Young man is dangerous. Fast, power, technical and makes very little mistakes. Good work young man. Can wait to see him going forward. 

Goodwin says NOPE

First of all, thanks to all athletes that have worked their tails off this season to give us coaches, parents and fans yet another stellar wrestling. 
 
While we see see some of our finest move on to next journey, Indiana wrestling is in great shape with this young group of wrestlers we have now and those coming in. 
 
Most outstanding for me
Tylin Thrine
Undefeated freshman Champ who on his path took out our #1 and a nationally ranked senior in route to a title. 
Close 2nd was Hockaday 
Defeated 2x returning champ en route to his very own 2nd title.

Hockaday vs Jackson match was everything  we all thought. 
But how about Ayersman doing his best Brands impersonation with the headlock

Solid match for sure 

Great job and good performance

Tough stalemate call against frazier at the end. I don't think anybody in the arena was thinking stalemate. There's 8 seconds left, he has his foot elevated and is working to cut across. You call that when neither guy can improve. Let the kids wrestle. We're not there to watch you. 
 
Thrine is a special talent.

Layne Horn vs. Nate Rioux on Mat 1 right now is the first biggie.

Update: Great match with Rioux pulling it out 4-2.  Some will call it an upset.  I think it was a tough draw for round 1, but not an upset.
