So besides Minny dominating the tourny, like they have for years. There are a few interesting early season match ups.

25-Gardner and Ness, last years 1-0 loss is what didn't get Ness his NCAA 3rd seed that everyone(Minny fans) thought he should get. What will happens this year? It might not be too much of a challenge (Bucky's guys are still in Party mode) but Ness should meet NDSU Hoffman in the semis. Could be ok??

33-Reiter champ over NDSU Sanders
41-Manny champ over NDSU Mooney
49-DS champ-no comp

57-Another good match up with 2 top 10 guys, CP and Zupancic, last year CP won it 3-0, should be a good one.

65-Should be a wrestle-off match...Glasser likes the live action and will be too much for last years starter, Saf.

74-Feist and Dretsch, I'll take the Stanford guy.**forgot about Sitch, he knocks off the Stanford kid in the semis then takes his elder gopher out in the finals.

84-Kish champ-no comp, maybe Sonny?

97-Bryce gets NDSU their lone champ.

285-My darkhorse-Laber from Mary wins the title.

Besides you guys hounding me for my 285 pick...thoughts?

Schlottke says he's entering at 84 and going after Kish.

I'll definitely be interested to see the Gardner v. Ness result, probably the most out of any in this tourney. With it being a six minute match without riding time it still won't tell us a ton, but I'd certainly like to see Jayson get a little bit of revenge for last year.

Hey, don't write checks that Schlottke's butt can't cash. He's says that he doesn't want Kish ripping his arms off. I can relate to that. Nobody should have their arms ripped off. It makes it much harder to drink single malt scotch.

Leave that poor guy alone, you wankers.

You're giving me too much credit to think I'd even make the finals in order to get my arms ripped off.. I would give Homer a room if he went 184 though.
