Y'all really thought we weren't gonna win🤣
I mean... have you seen our history?
No, but I still don't get the FF at 74.
Also our history with randomly blowing meaningless games/duals/matches to the worst opponents is kinda engrained in our tradition not necessarily in wrestling but everywhere else.
The only person who weight in was a freshman who was bumping up two weight classes. Didn't want him to get hurt. Especially since we were favorite in the other matches.
So... we won. Right?
Internet sleuthing says my assumption is correct
