I read on TOS that Brands said Lira will have a match at the wrestleoffs but it will be simply to get a match in. He is the only 197 on the roster. They were not sure who the match was going to be against is why its not listed.

Q. 197?

COACH BRANDS: Tomas Lira is there. When you look at the wrestle offs, he's the only guy in the bracket. He'll have a match on Saturday, and we'll figure that out as we go deeper into the wrestle offs tomorrow and Friday on who that opponent will be. And these are all exhibitions anyway, so that will be an exhibition of the exhibition or an exhibition of the inner squad.

Maybe Lira can wrestle Backes

[Hawks1010]

Nope Backes is headed out to NYC for an event in freestyle.

Q. Does having the trials here in Iowa City affect the attitude in the room, the excitement of guys coming back and things like that?

COACH BRANDS: Let me tell you something about the trials. The trials are in April, and we have three guys qualified and two of those guys’ weight classes aren't even qualified for the Olympic games. You talk about a lot of work to do. We have a lot of work to do.

Metcalf and Zadick are qualified for the trials, but their weight classes aren't qualified for the Olympic games. They might not even be wrestling in the trials. The first event was the World Championships. So the phase two would be the Pan Ams in, is it February? We've got to get that weight class qualified, then we can start talking about the trials with those guys.

The only guy in our club is Lloyd Rogers that is qualified. Phil Keddy is not qualified, Dan Dennis isn't qualified, Luke Lofthouse isn't qualified, Kurt Backes isn't qualified. So there is a lot of work to do. They're going to New York AC this weekend. It's another big event. We had one guy that was a runner up at Sunkist. So we had one guy out of five that placed, so the challenge is great there as well.

Do we think about that every day? No. But it's something that guys are going to be involved in when April comes around. Right now that's what they're gearing up for. They're gearing for trials and beyond London 2012.

Maybe Lira can wrestle Backes

[atxhawk]

Lira is the ONLY guy at 197? Yikes. I'll admit, I'm not a huge wrestling fan but has the team ever been that thin at any weight? I hope Lira does great, especially since he is form my alma mater, but it's a little scary with only him there.

Wagner and Fahler (sp) can fill in if needed. They are just wrestling off at 184. But yeah losing Byers to Okie State hurts!
