That wasn’t the question. Has Tom acknowledged that his wrestlers screwed up? I’m not sure but I don’t recall that he did. Dresser has.

Yeah, seems like the alleged “warrantless search” was referring to the geofencing. If I’m following the story correctly (maybe not), it looks like this was alleged on Monday by the attorney for some of the football players, and then Paniro’s lawyer then (Tuesday) made a similar claim, maybe based on the first one. https://cbs2iowa.com/news/local/iowa-dci-agent-accused-of-warrantless-search-to-start-sports-gambling-investigation https://cbs2iowa.com/sports/i-on-the-hawks/agent-says-in-deposition-dci-engaged-in-illegal-search-of-iowa-student-athletes

A lot of times it’s not going to change who wins. But it would be a great event for fans to watch, and would make money for the NCAA and teams involved. The difference in scoring between the 2 formats could make a difference in the early rounds though. It kinda stinks that solid dual teams with most of their team ranked in the teens & 20’s but no top 5 or so guys don’t really score many points at NCAA’s

In this case I think Minnow just doesn’t want to get sued like the MidwestWrestle dude has threatened to do to him

Wait as I read it again he may be clarifying that in response to Minnow saying “he appears to hit him,” Chael is really saying it doesn’t just “appear,” he did

Yeah he clearly hits him. I thought this was just Chael continuing where he left off with the “Ferrari didn’t throw a punch” bit

Yeah, most likely there would be no logjam with transfers. Brands 184, Cassioppi HWT, and Assad 197 if he can beat Glazier but neither is a transfer. The only way it could worsen the logjam would be if Brands is at 174.

Dresser did, IMO. Brands, not really

Seems like he’s spinning off his Ferrari take here, but he did call Minnow a “lying wuss”

Is he? Pat Downey beat Myles Martin

That’s an interesting story, considering the assault wasn’t even the reason he left Arizona

Was this the first time Tom actually named the athletes involved?

I assume is in reference to this: https://news.yahoo.com/dci-lied-agents-suspects-target-214003907.html Dresser offered some more details, including “I hope these athletes take the state of Iowa to the cleaners”

Nvm

He cares. Did you see his reaction when Nagao got pinned? Now that was funny

These would be my probabilities: Starocci 99% Brooks 95% Kerk 80% Haines 40% Bartlett 30% Mesenbrink 15% Davis 8% So you multiply them all together for the total probability right? That would be 0.1%

Low probability sure, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see seven. They have two near locks, one additional heavy favorite, and one modest favorite. Then the only undefeated guy in a wide open field, and two underdogs that are certainly capable of winning. And that’s not even counting Nagao who has a non-zero chance of winning.

Taylor/Ghadiali is probably a tossup, gimme Ghadiali if it happens. Lol, no one is saying Hendrickson should be ranked/seeded higher than Kerk. Once he gets the required matches he’ll come in at #1. I was just pointing out that Hendrickson has faced some good competition. I think a match requirement to be ranked/seeded makes sense but sure, we can probably debate the number it should be.

Ghadiali is probably better than anyone Kerk has wrestled sans Davison.

Lol at him thinking he can still wrestle this year. Maybe NJCAA?

I could be wrong, but I could’ve sworn I saw somewhere that Saldate is actually pronounced Sal-date, not Sal-dah-tay?

Haines/Saldate match synced up with Byers radio call. I’m not on the “Byers is the best out there” bandwagon but he was just a wee bit better than the college kids…

Wyoming maybe but not really for the rest. SDSU finished 13th, UNI 15th, NDSU 23rd last season. @WrestlingFan89 seems to be talking about if they actually went D1. That’s a different convo, I thought we were talking about how they’d do as is.

Define success though. IMO, at best you’re looking at finishing around 40th at NCAA’s. Probably a few guys they could win a match or 2 at NCAA’s, but that’s about it. Maybe 1 AA like every 5 years or so.
