Will Lewan: 1 seed, 12 seed, 24 seed - doesn't matter. This match is going to end 3-2.

This link may be helpful for some folks. It is the UNI Panthers link sheet. Below is the URL and under that is a screenshot of what it looks like to help you quickly click and go https://unipanthers.com/sports/2023/3/8/big-12-hub.aspx

It says the Mat # at the end of the title. What type of device are you viewing on? Mobile, laptop, or TV?

I can't believe Carl burned a challenge on a 12 seed in the first round. Luckily the refs will make up for it by gifting Max Dean another title.

Van Ness losing to Miller (21 seed from MD) 8-0 with :30 left in the first. Carl is not going to be happy about this...

At least you get Fridays off going forward sans reading the project's SmartSheet pasted into an email at 4:29PM

I think Brooks is more likely than Yianni. Brooks is a machine and I am still shocked that he was upset this season. I expect to see him in the top 3, at worst, for most tourney points this weekend. He's a baaaaaad man

I was referring to losing to Brooks losing to Zahid. The seeding comment was that Brooks likely would have been seeded ahead of Lujan and Bolen. I believe Brooks would have beaten everyone but Zahid that year.

Brooks would have a silver medal in 2020 if it weren't for an unstoppable combo of covid and someone skiing the slopes of Rome. He was likely going to come in as the 2 seed over Lujan and Bolen so would have still made it to the finals, but an upset was highly unlikely that year. His 4th will come with an elite asterisk.

That's because I thought it was funny. I'll instacart you some beer and nachos tomorrow if it walks you off the edge duder.

I mean let's not go fulllllllll Fargo. Nothing worse than not placing when you lost to 1st and 3rd by 2 points combined and no I'm not bitter why do you ask

If you are going to argue disingenuously, then what is the point of this? The point I raised in the Russia thread is that Americans shouldn't throw stones in glass houses because we have a very dirty past, present, and future and that wrestling is no different. The difference between Russia and USA is state vs. privatized, just like our societies. I provided a significant group who has tested dirty in the past 4 years and were suspended. It is a fair and logical assumption to assume, especially using the greco national team all popping for the same substance as evidence, that others associated were also using and either did not get tested or beat testing (this would be at the group/RTC, or private, level most likely). I also used a very prominent high level athletic group led by Alberto Salazar as a strong example that apparently did not resonate with you.

You can beat a dead horse all you want, but in layman's terms Alberto Salazar was the CEO of Nike and USA middle and long distance running, and you can see all the pops through the years at a domestic and global scale. But you do you amigo.

Internet rumor has it that famous New York City resident Frank Chamizo supposedly had his 2022 world bronze revoked for an anti-doping violation. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpz6zIHs0iI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Fix is for some reason. Blew my mind too!

O/U is currently at 4.5 according to Vegas (Lee, Woods, Starocci, Brooks are favorites) I am taking the under this year and will gladly partake in a signature bet for anyone who feels otherwise.

I want to see the NCAAs look like Fargo

I don’t think you can find anyone better for the Matcast than Sparks, and I also agree that he would deliver top notch Saturday night interviews.

Pumped for more JB after his work at the Olympics. Not so pumped for his pairing but it is what it is. Sparks was really good last year on the Matcast. His high energy is awesome for what could easily be a long three day drag for many announcers. Perfect pairing. Bummed we don't get some combination of Rock, Robles, and JB at the same time. That would be a fantastic pairing... one day hopefully...

How do I watch individual mats, the Octobox, and upcoming assignments? Just like last year, you need an ESPN+ subscription. You may already have this if you have a Disney/Hulu bundle, or you may have it separately. I don't know if I have ESPN+ / How do I get a subscription? Click this link here Is it easy to cancel? Yes. Unlike some companies that support wrestling, ESPN+ is very easy to cancel after your three day nattys bonanza. How much does it cost? As cheap as $9.99 for a one-month subscription. You can also choose from the a la carte for an annual package or build custom bundles with Disney+ and Hulu What can I watch ESPN+ on? Smart TVs and smart sticks like Roku and Amazon. You can also watch from your computer. Can I watch on multiple devices? Yes! Last year I had 4 big screens and a laptop. My setup would make Jagger jealous.

Not enough?

Going to be a realllly long month until the US Open all the way out on April 26
