Reaction thoughts:
125--Nice job by Reno and he really fought on bottom. Hildebrandt is really tough on top so Reno keeping things to a regular decision was a pretty great result.
133--RBY is a national champ and wrestled like it. Man he's fun to watch.
141--This is realistically about as good as it'll get for Red v. Lee. I just don't see a path to how he's ever beating Lee without Lee making some kind of crazy mistake. No shame though, Lee is about as good as it gets. I think Red should be able to get AA status again.
149--Great job by Lovett although I would've liked to see him cut Bartlett once he secured the riding time point to try and work towards a MD. Him going from being folded in half like a chair to scoring on a double leg was incredible and had me laughing out loud.
157--Bleh, same old Robb. He shoots right away and predictably gets the TD and then he just kinda shut it down and barely hung on.
165--No real opinion, backup guy at NU.
174--Pretty much exactly what I was hoping to see out of Labs. Sweet duck unders!
184--Welp, Brooks is really freaking good haha.
197--Nice job by Schultz getting the win over the backup guy who also AA'd last year (man PSU has crazy depth). I don't know about that 3rd stall call when Beard had Schultz's leg in a single leg position. Seemed like a pretty quick stall call but hey, we'll take it.
HWT--Kerkvilet is a lot more athletic than Lance and it showed. HWT seems to have a pretty clear pecking order now. Gable is miles ahead of everyone and then you have Parris/Kerkvilet/Cass all lumped in there next (I haven't seen Schultz from ASU wrestle so no opinion there).
All in all, about what I expected. Also, I really like the head ref, was calling stalling exactly how I like to see it called. Get these guys moving around and force some action. Was a pleasant surprise.

Caught most of the dual yesterday, feel asleep for 25 minutes or during it lol. #Middaynaps
125--Nice job by Reno, looked aggressive
133--Not much you can do, Byrd is pretty tough
141--Nice to see Red get the win, probably should've been awarded the pin. Duncan was definitely the aggressor but Red did a nice job countering Duncan's mistake.
149--Nice solid win by Lovett, would've been nice to see him try and get the MD
157--Same old Robb. He seems to wrestle to the level of his competition.
165---Braunagel absolutely put it on Wilson. Woof.
174--Good job by Labs. Dominated.
184--Braunagel #2 wrecked Venz. Really impressive display by him. Venz couldn't get anything going.
197--Awesome job by Schultz, really pushed the pace. The Illinois wrestler wasn't doing jack squat during the match, should've gotten dinged for stalling a few times.
HWT--Man, Lance is wrestling well.
Big ol dual coming this week against Iowa!

I'm sure he meant, the second Braunagel. Also, Red wrestled a fairly defensive match.

Homer NU Prediction
125--This assumes Ybarra wrestles, NU by dec
133--IA by MD

NU 22 IA 11
What I actually think happens
125--True toss up, slightest of edges to IA
133--DeSanto by TF
141--Red gets super close to a couple TDs by Eiermann's funk is too much, IA by dec
149--Lovett wins by dec over Murin or MD against Turk
157--Robb gets an early TD, proceeds to never shoot again, loses 5-3 in SV because he gives a riding time point that sends it to SV.
165--Marinelli by TF
174--Might be the best match of the night. Grandpa Mike by the slimmest of margins.
184--Venz hasn't been in good recent form but I think he gets the dec
197--This one will be an absolute rock fight, Schultz/Warner are 2-2 against each other and both are in good form. I think Schultz pulls it out at home 3-2.
