I think this would be cool maybe not so practical but get someone like UNC or West Virginia to play against and practice

Alright One Pride, it’s time for free agency and draft talk. The journey to Super Bowl LX starts now!

The Wolverines will send 7 guys to the NCAA tournament next weekend with Cardenas securing the 1st overall seed at 197. Ragusin going down with a season ending injury likely dropped that number from 8 to 7 since he'd have qualified at 133 and Wertanen wouldn't have had to bump up from 125 (even though he qualified at 133 after Ragusin's injury)

There hasn't been much discussion around wrestling here this season so I figured I'd pop a thread up for us who may want to discuss it.

We likely don't have a realistic shot at the traditional team title but have some guys who should show pretty well individually.

Anyone else have any thoughts? I surely can't be the only wresting guy here.

With hockey conferences wrapping up their tournaments this week, Michigan is sitting firmly on the NCAA bubble. So, who are the Wolverines rooting for?
The answer is chalk, all chalk.
Here are the scenarios Michigan needs to make the NCAA Tournament.

A bid out of nowhere.

Conveniently seeded to face the most depleted top four seed in the round of 32 (Iowa State).

Oh and he gets a bonus for NC making the tournament.

I’m sure this is all coincidental.

There seems to be a lot of mixed information out there on Iowa center Owen Freeman, who has entered the transfer portal with a do not contact tag.

Some believe Michigan and Gonzaga are the front runners to land his services, with the Wolverines potentially leading, thanks to NIL.
A source I spoke to at Iowa mentioned Creighton and Illinois as options. Freeman is originally from Illinois and was recruited by his home program during high school.
Also, I have heard Calipari and Arkansas should not be counted out, especially if this is a NIL battle.

Michigan will need to replace Vlad Goldin next season, and Freeman could be an option for a scoring big man that can also make an impact on the boards.

I will update with any more concrete info as we get it.

Michigan Football DC Wink Martindale met with the media ahead of spring practices, and while it is early, he shared insights on year 2, name-dropped a few players, and talked about blitzing again.

Here is a playlist to drink Green Beer to. Like many of my playlists; it's loongg* ; 4+hours.
Maybe only listen to the first 20+ songs; about an hour. That part is a hybrid of pop and traditional and was my motivation
behind making this. The last 3 hrs is more traditional. Music you might hear in the pubs.
Features several (there are many to choose from) versions of the song "Galway Girl". Lasts about 15 mins..
If you get your fill of "Galway Girl" skip ahead.

One of the best "Irish songs" was written by one of my favorites from Texas; Steve Earle.
His song "Galway Girl" has become an international sensation. Becoming "an ole Irish Classic".
With Steve Earles Texas roots it's not hard to imagine this being a Cajun Zydeco song. The mix between traditional Irish and French stirred up in the Gumbo pot of Louisiana. All the way back to Ireland.

A cover version of the song by Mundy and Sharon Shannon reached number one and became the most downloaded song of 2008 in Ireland; it has gone on to become the eighth highest selling single in Irish chart history. The song has been the subject of numerous covers and live interpretations.
What is the story behind the Galway Girl?
Who was the Galway Girl song about? The song was inspired by a real woman that Earle met in Galway in 1998, when he was performing at the Galway Arts Festival. Her name was Joyce Redmond, and she was a local artist and dancer. Earle was married at the time, but he was captivated by Redmond's beauty and charm (GRG- Earle has been married seven times, including twice to the same woman. HA)

What does Galway Girl mean in slang?
Galway is a place in western Ireland. A girl from here is a Galway girl According to urban dictionary, she's a girl with black hair and blue eyes. Made famous by Steve Earle in his song Galway Girl, which is about such a girl.

The City of Galway has grown an annual festival celebrating "Galway Girl".

Please take 5 mins and play this video. It will put you in the mood.

I can feel my wee bit ( I know; that's Scottish) of Irish Blood today; and it feels good. Celebrate. grg
