Seedings Released for Midlands Wrestling Tournament

+

I will likely have some more on this over the next two days, but the top 8 seeds were released at the VERY prestigious (read: loaded) Midlands Wrestling Tournament, which will kick off tomorrow at Northwestern. Nice to see Brent Haynes earn a 6 seed at 197 and it will be interesting to see what Marable (4 seed) can do at 165 and what the HWY's can do (Bradley is a 3 and Ellis is a 6)

Texas has not been a good conference partner. We did not save the SWC, and we are not saving the Big 12. We have been in two conferences, and each chose (per our wishes) to not share media revenue equally (the Big 10 and SEC do share revenue…say, what are the two strongest conferences?). This can (and probably does) lead to resentment of Texas. In the Big 10, Indiana knows that a strong Michigan helps its own bottom line. In the Big 12, a strong Texas does nothing for Baylor.

He raced up and down the floor, whispering some little valuable tidbit in the ear of freshman running mate Michael Dixon one moment, prodding forward Justin Safford the next minute, then engaging in heated sideline dialogues with coach Mike Anderson all night long. But mostly what English did Wednesday night in the raucous tournament environment at Scottrade Center was flat-out play some of the best basketball of his young life. "He's probably had games as good as this, but none on as big a stage," said Anderson, who couldn't stop smiling as he sat in the near-empty arena a half-hour after the game. "I thought he was zoned in on this game. You could tell how bad he wanted it."

Bryan Burwell in today's P-D. I'll forgive Anderson for getting caught up in the moment and forgetting about last year's Marquette game, but this was certainly his SECOND-best game...
