  1. Name your wager if they meet on the top side - anything from sig bet to donation. I’ll gladly take Carr.
  2. No, he was asked what winning the Big Tens meant to him and had the same reaction as Imar in 2018. He said "nothing much" because the implication is the only performance that matters is nationals not the conference. Clip starts at 12:16
  3. *this message is endorsed by David Carr (2022) and Alex Marinelli (2019, 2021). I can see Keck losing to Finesilver, Salazar, Pinto, and Coleman. There is a drop from Brooks to Hidlay, and Hidlay to the field. But this is why they wrestle the matches - prove me wrong Keck!
  4. Great now I have to go pick RBY again in my Wrestlestat pick'ems
  5. How many are not at Indiana or Purdue? My guess is only Parris, right?
  6. @Wrestleknownothing are you emptying the clip now or do you plan to really drop the knowledge hammer as part of the annual twitter trivia contest?
  7. I think one of these sees their name in the consolation bracket when they go to the hotel Thursday night, in order of most to least likely: Keck Woods Bonaccorsi AOC
  8. I wouldn’t waste my time. Everyone has defeated everyone at some point. Parity as far as the eye can see, and I would not be surprised, legitimately not surprised, if anyone 1-20 AA’d. I think 6-10 have a realistic shot to make the finals too.
  9. And if you say 197 then you better mean it’s going chalk which would be crazy. My guess this year is 157 goes kablooey. 1 of the top 3 seeds doesn’t see Friday night, 2 don’t see Saturday night, and at least two double digit seed AA’s.
  10. I remember chuckling when he said that and thinking “surely he’s not going to seriously attempt to follow through on that after a couple years of growth.” But hey if he wants to shrink down then go for it. His body, his choice. I’ll take Dake by bomb and JB by double until proven otherwise
  11. Starocci is big for 174 and WAY too big for 74. He’s a tweener and needs to embrace it… maybe goes 184 next year and cuts down to 79 @ WTT after taking lumps at 86. Just sucks thanks IOC for ruining everything.
  12. Ironic because Ben Askren would absolutely not be a fan of pretty much any opinion that a Common Sense Committee would put forward.
  13. Performing well on the backside at the conference tourney does not make for glorious natty seeds. They had two champions, both expected and both seeded #1 at NCAAs as expected. A great similar example of the "the whole is greater than the sum of all parts" would be Minnesota winning a team title without a single national champ. So congrats on 2nd in the Big Ten, and good luck with the fair NCAA seeds. I hope you have superior results of your Friday than diagnosing the mental health of an idiot behind a keyboard.
  14. Are you insinuating that Patrick Glory was granted a double-secret 17 pound weight allowance by the NCAA?
  15. I can only think of three people who would be confident enough to take those odds: Daton Fix, AOC, and Keckeisen. It’s them against the world.
  16. There are 23 double digit seeds at 197. I'll take those odds.
  17. Are we still calling this the Mizzou Seeding Special or did we have to move on since they consistently produce AAs, NCAA champs, and world champs nowadays?
  18. Call me Mr. Jelly because I 100% agree with everything you just said.
  19. Iowa did not wrestle a tough out-of-conference schedule. Iowa individuals did not perform particularly well in-conference. Iowa individuals did not perform particularly well at the conference tournament. Therefore, Iowa got lower than desired seeds.
  20. Their nonconference was primarily tomato cans except Iowa State and OkSt. Their only tournament was the F-150 Salute Your Shorts where NINETEEN Hawkeyes made it to the quarters, the runner-up was perrenial wrestling powerhouse Army, and the most exciting moment was a varsity starter pinning his backup in 30 seconds and telling his coaches that he deserved it. So yeah, weak out of conference schedule + middling B1G results = appropriate seeding where they don't get the benefit of the Hawkeye doubt
  21. But how does one counter his old-man strength?
  22. Yeah it's definitely not a hill worth dying on. Hopefully Hendrickson shows up this year and puts the haters to bed by finally getting that AA medal.
  23. CKLV is a demonstrably stronger field than the Iowa F-150 Salute Your Shorts tournament
  24. May I introduce you to the Western Duck from John James Audobon's "Birds of America"
