***Match started at 295.

WOW! Only losing one match! That is great! That is one of the matchs we need to win though come March! Good to see Nemec back in the line up!

wow what ever happened to pucillo ?

Easy... Dergo is THEE REAL DEAL! But I have seen this before... a kid loses to a kid earlier in the year or even in the BigTens only to beat him at the National Tournament. Let's hope like heck we see it again in this case.

Dergo is the real deal, but this is more than a just once or twice. He has really struggled this year. Maybe contention has set in a bit. But Tom Ryan is the best motivator this side of the Mississippi and will have everyone ready for tourney time.

Go Colt!!!!
