Tempo

I had not seen the wrestling team since watching them on the telly wet themselves while losing to SUI.

They have changed completely, in the best of ways.

Gone is the overly technical, score-just-enough-to-win-or-at-least-don't-do-anything-stupid-to-lose style, and in its place is a probing, carefully aggressive, take-no-prisoners style of wrestling. It's not the overcranked street fight that Old Time SUI Wrestling was, but this is fun to watch. Even an underdog is on the mat looking to score and make the other guy beat him, not just running and hiding, trying to not get majored.

If the team continues to improve at anything like its present rate, they will be scary at B12's (B5's?) and NCAA's.

Nice work, boys.
