Big UM Wrestling dual today
#3 Michigan vs #5 Arizona St on Flo Wrestling 7pm central.
Lots of excitement. First time seeing Suriano wrestle in the UM singlet. Micic makes his debut at 141. M. Amine drops down to 184 after Olympic bronze over the summer.
side note: rumor is Spencer Lee is not wrestling this season in lieu of getting knee surgeries. Puts Suriano in the drivers seat at 125 and helps Michigan’s chances at an NC in March in Detroit.

I wish BTN would show more wrestling events.

I've been able to watch most Michigan B1G duals in past years but there is not much out of conference coverage.
January 3rd, 2022 at 9:25 AM ^
Is there a site that has all college wrestlers ranked in their weight class?

Wouldn't it be a duel? Or are there things called duals in wrestling? Honest question.
January 3rd, 2022 at 10:06 AM ^
Dual signifies two teams in the competition vs individual tournament format.
Here are the intermat rankings.

There are also events where there are more than two teams involved but they still use Team v Team scoring. Quads are pretty common nowdays. Some Tris too.

the NCAA is totally cracking down on duels
and love the new avatar: 4 tide containers. your distaste for the bulldogs is deep.

Is Suriano wrestling? He is not listed on U of M's website in the event preview. He is not listed on the team roster either.
January 3rd, 2022 at 11:22 AM ^
Yeah my bad for not checking. He was supposed to as of last week. Michigan Wrestling Twitter shows a pic of the guys of the lineup and Suriano is not one of them. But I don’t know his status on the team.
January 3rd, 2022 at 12:02 PM ^
No Suriano tonight. Word is that he has to complete enrollment this week so he cannot wrestle until after that's finished.
January 3rd, 2022 at 11:11 AM ^
Don't know a lot about wrestling but I enjoy watching it. Might even try to attend the NC in Detroit.
January 3rd, 2022 at 12:01 PM ^
Nick is an incredible wrestler and should be a huge addition. Any idea as to whether this is televised or where it can be streamed?
January 3rd, 2022 at 12:27 PM ^
Flo Wrestling which is a pay site. I don't know of anyone who does the Twitter stream stuff.
January 3rd, 2022 at 12:05 PM ^
There is a huge gap between Iowa and Penn State in the rankings and everyone else. It's probably bigger than the SP+ gap between Georgia and Michigan in football.
Michigan is historically good and has recently upgraded their competitiveness but it's difficult to envision a tournament NC. I hope they can get maybe 2 individual NCs and I can't wait for the duals against those teams.
B1G is excellent with 10 teams ranked in the top 20.
January 3rd, 2022 at 12:27 PM ^
True but Spencer Lee not wrestling this year takes a lot of points off the table with bonus wins etc.
January 3rd, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
I can't think of any sport that is/has been so dominated by one league as Wrestling is dominated by the Big 10. Currently, the Big 10 has the top 3 spots, 5 of the top 10, and 10 of the top 20. And my recollection is that last year was similar.

If you look up Jacob Couch on Flo Grappling, he's one of our former fighters that moved to Chicago and is under Heath Pedigo now. I let him live at my house for a year so he could focus only on training and not have to get a job. He's a good guy and I'm glad to see him doing well on the international BJJ stage. I know we're talking Michigan wrestling here, but as a person that has wrestled, done MMA, and BJJ in some form since the 90's now, all combat sports, especially grappling, are things I love.
January 3rd, 2022 at 3:12 PM ^
But, did you bite anyone while you were grappling with them?
January 4th, 2022 at 11:03 AM ^
I did a few dirty tricks in my wrestling days, but never any biting, haha. On a sad note, at least here where I live, you can't load up the cross face anymore.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:10 PM ^
Covid developments.... only going to be 4 matches now. Micic and Amine will wrestle there first duals of the season.
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:03 PM ^
Oh that sucks. What about Mason vs Schultz?
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:15 PM ^

The matches are as follows
125 Medley vs Courtney
133 Ragusin vs McGee
141 Micic vs chlebove
184 Amine vs Nummer
