How about these five leading it off

I know this has been threaded before but wanted to rehash it after the past weekend. Is there a stronger five in a row than what MN has from 125-157?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "No, there isn't"

Flop The Nuts · 01-15-2008, 12:36 PM

No, not unless Iowa proves differently when they meet.

ODH · 01-15-2008, 01:09 PM

Iowa not too far behind:
Charlie Falck,3rd, Joey Slaton, 4th, Dan LeClere, 9th, Brent Metcalf, 1st, Ryan Morningstar, 12th.

It is not beyond the realm of imagination that either team could sweep the first five weights.

dthomas · 01-15-2008, 01:15 PM

Yeah. Then it gets real bad. Kish even looks bad right now. They better put 2-3 of those guys in the finals and get the others in the top 4 because 165,174,197,Hwt might not hardly score a point.

They'll get points at 165/174 but will be a stretch to AA at those weights. Dretsch is the X factor.

if DS is out of the line-up and you have to throw Mellmer in there that instantly alot of teams just up above Minnesota here. Mellmer is going to give up five to six which nullifies two decisions at other weights.

with DS in the line-up, we are tough to beat. i would prefer to talk about how Malamura looked at Heavy because he definitely wrestled better against Gritter and Rogers than I think Berhow or Nord would have. If Malamura could take that kind of mentality back to 197, I think we would be a much more solid team. Most teams would like to have the problem we have at 165 with two guys who are argueably Top 10-Top 15 and both having eligibility next year. In Glassers case, he has three more years. Saf is going 157 next year and while he may not get Top Five like C.P. could, Saf is a solid fill in here and argueably a better dual wrestler than C.P. as he has more pinning potential in my opinion.

Hey Champ UnKind,

Nice spin. After Falck beat Donahoe I predicted that Ness would not overtake Donahoe as the win against Donahoe instantly became less impressive.

I knew I could count on Champ UnKind to go back and cut and past other peoples comment into a thread without any type of real discussion added on to the end.

Like I said, the next time you have an opinion will be the first time.
