  1. Projected at 29th based on seeds. Moved up to 18th. I still think 14th to 3rd is more impressive.
  2. I didn't see the match. I only read this post on HR in response to similar complaints that the ref screwed DeSanto ( which reminds me of the scene in Shawshank Redemption where Red points out that everyone in prison is innocent. He checks an inmate who says, "I didn't do it, my lawyer screwed me.") _____________________ ??? Garrett got three turns. You don’t put them on their feet when the top man is repeatedly scoring in par terre. On the Garrett TD, Austin got a caution for fleeing the mat. I don’t think the camera angle was good enough to say whether that was the right or wrong call. But the caution meant they go to par terre, which they did with 2:35 on the clock. It was 3-0 Garrett at that point. They blew the whistle and Austin immediately grabbed Garrett’s leg with it gripped for the sole purpose of preventing Garrett from scoring, That’s called negative wrestling and he was properly warned for it. Next Austin did the same thing with Garrett’s arm and again got a warning for negative wrestling. The first scored gut wrench finished with 2:20 on the clock, just 15 secs after they went in par terre and after two warnings for negative wrestling on Austin. Austin then grabbed Garret’s arm again and again got called for negative wrestling. At that point, the ref called a caution on Austin as he had already given Austin two warnings. That was with 2:12 to go. The caution meant a restart in par terre. On the restart, Garrett immediately went to another gut wrench, which he used to score in just 10 secs. He then got another turn that he finished just 15 secs later and the match ended.
  3. Perhaps for individual over achievement, but Oklahoma finished 18th with 29.5. Brewer scored 25, the other 4 wrestlers scored 4.5.
  4. Is it zero? When did Olympic redshirts become a thing?
  5. I couldn't do it. Eight years out of high school and I was married with kids. Granted, I married young and had kids young, but at some point most people would think it is time to do what all their peers are doing. That said, I have no issue with someone taking whatever time the rules allow.
  6. Thought I would post this here as there are a lot of questions about whether wrestlers will take an Oly RS. Every time I read one of those questions I wonder if that is even an option for a particular wrestler. Criteria to qualify for a 2024 Olympic Redshirt Year There are six ways to qualify for an Olympic Redshirt Year • Only required to meet one criteria: 1) Past National Team members • Top 3 from the Senior World Team Trials or Olympic Team Trials 2) Top 8 at the April 2023 Senior US Open 3) Top 8 at the December 2023 Senior US Nationals 4) Top 3 at the 2023 NCAA I Wrestling Championship 5) NCAA I Champion from a previous year AND top 2 from the 2023 U23 Nationals (must accomplish both) 6) Previous U17, U20, U23 World Medalist (UWW) Numbers 3 and 5 are still to be determined. Number 3 is an odd one in that it happens after the start of the season. 2024 USAW Oly RS Criteria
  7. He announced his retirement from college wrestling https://www.on3.com/college/wisconsin-badgers/news/austin-gomez-announces-forgo-final-season-wrestling-wisconsin-freestyle-world-olympics/
  8. Back of envelope, the 1997 Hawkeyes went in as 10.5 point dogs, and won by 56.5. A 67 point swing. Yowza.
  9. I don't know. They had three returning AA's who finished 4th, 3rd, 4th in 2014. Those three came in seeded 9th, 2nd, 3rd. So one lower, two higher.
  10. The field needs them to turn into 2015 Missouri. Based on seeds, MIZZ was expected to win by 10.5. Instead they barely made the podium, 28.5 points behind Ohio State.
  11. Going into the 2015 tournament Edinboro was expected to score about 34 placement and advancement points based on their seeds. They actually scored 60.5 (75.5 with bonus added in). Their projected finish was 14th based on their seeds. Their actual finish was 3rd. And they did it with only 6 wrestlers. My detailed data only goes back to 2010. Was there a more overachieving team prior to 2010?
  12. This is not the reason for a push to consider alternatives to the US dollar as the world reserve currency. The US dollar's hegemony over all economic activity is. The government that controls the world reserve currency, has great control over the world. No one looks at the US as a bad investment because of our tax or spending policies. That the US government can control foreign banks is a perfect example. Even though the US has no regulatory authority over these banks themselves, they can effectively control a foreign bank by blocking or threatening to block access to all dollar denominated systems, like wire transfers. It is all about power and control.
  13. And what does it list under that? You really lean into the dumb.
  14. I'm a PSU fan who went to a small liberal arts school in the midwest. Never set foot on PSU's campus until this past fall. And the there is @VakAttack who has never set foot in Iowa (or at least last time I asked). All shapes. All sizes.
  15. Not all high school facilities are the same. There is a local high school with an indoor 50 meter pool and indoor tennis courts.
  16. Perhaps it suggests his failure to gain admission was correctable.
  17. I am sure Erik "The People's Choice" Hinckley knows the answer. https://themat.tv/all_videos/54016-97-kg-rnd-of-16-erik-hinckley-us-army-vs-danny-chaid-california-rtc?page=17188
  18. Hence my question. Who decides the prices? You clearly think it is PSU. It could also be USAW.
