So, to whom does Stryker Lane provide a scouting report - brother or teammate?

In Coach Koll's prematchup report, he joked that Stryker says that he beats up on his brother when he's home for break and Jochym's match will let everyone know if he's blowing smoke.

I know the past 2-3 years, there were whispers that CU had a legitimate shot at the team championship.  Given the number of unseeded wrestlers, I'm guessing that's a long-shot this year.

NCAA wrestling: No clear-cut favorite for team title

Minnesota, Oklahoma State, Cornell and Missouri could make it a six-team race.

...

Cornell's lineup features two-time NCAA champ Kyle Dake at 157 and No. 1 Cam Simaz at 197, but the Big Red need help from five unseeded wrestlers.

This is not going to be our year. Last year was a much better shot but we had a rough go of it in the semifinals (lost three of four) and Penn State performed even better than they were supposed to.

nice job by Dake.. Peppleman up next.. nice to watch all matches on espn3

It looks like nobody has ever won NCAA titles at three different weight classes, like Dake is trying to do.

Peppleman's brother got pinned in his opening round. Ugh. The conference as a whole is not doing well. (Cornell, though, is right where they are supposed to be.)
