It was a neat thing to attend. (at least til Joe lost). Their were some great matches, the 149 in particular- 5 OT's. Joe was in it til 1 minute left in 3rd, then slipped and went to back. He looked like a freshman, but time will change that. OU is definitely a young team.
Trison Graham and both Eddison boys controlled their opponents, from what I saw, on the UCO mat.

I wondered how that match went down. Nathan is a tough wrestler and is better than he appears. Looking forward to seeing Joe compete! It was also surprising to see Rowe get beat. Thanks for the info.
