Iran delegate sporting a Bison shirt!

Does this picture have a back story?

[Christopher Moen]

No, I saw him wearing the shirt two days in a row and had to take a pic.

There's also another delegate (not sure of the country) that is wearing a Bison Open shirt.

Maybe we are expanding our recruiting footprint.

I asked an Iranian-American friend about the guy wearing the Bison shirt today, and he told me he got it from his friend Michael Miller who lives Fargo. I believe it's the same Michael that was (maybe still is) some type of sports photographer for NDSU.

Small world.

J'Den Cox has impressed me big time lately

So the US lost to Iran on criteria. Would having Jordan Bourroughs out there have helped make a difference in the outcome? How did the US guy at Jordan's weight do?

Dieringer won 10-1 so it could have helped. Team scoring criteria was 17-16. If Burroughs wins 10-0 then we win on criteria 17-16 I believe. So instead of us getting 3-1 teams points it would have been 4-0 so we would have had a two point swing in criteria. Also, if Dennis doesn't get pinned and just loses by Tech we would have won too.

Burroughs and Dlagnev would have made a big difference and we probably would have won the Cup.

With that said, we actually did pretty well with the line-up we had. We have quite a few young guns that are going to be fun to watch for years to come.

Iran, as expected, was tough, but I was surprised how close Russia was able to compete with them in the 1st Place dual. Iran used all their #1's while Russia used maybe at best their 3rd and 4th ranked wrestlers in each weight class.

If I'm not mistaken, Dieringer won 10-1 against Georgia, but he lost 10-0 against Iran.
