Interesting tidbit... Of the first half of WFS (50, 53, 57), there has been one upset of at Top 8 seed through the R16 and it was 11 over 6 at 57 KG.

OP should have the power to KO threads. This thread should have been done when I posted this.

I wouldn't take a pay cut down to $140k. I earned my take.

Truth is truth.

Bah. I am not going to try to beat around that bush with you. I like you. Some other turdbiscuit tries to call me out for wiffle-waffling I might try to lie about it, though.

The difference is there was a two hour discussion between the two. I am human and am okay being wrong, thus allowing myself to change my perspective and stance on what is going to be a tight match. I am sorry I offended you. You should know me better than to take that seriously. Edit: Also, you miss the entire point of me even opening my mouth. There were people (plural) saying that it, more or less, wasn't going to be a match and there were no indicating factors that it could be. I came along to explain why folks were 'underselling' Wittlake. That didn't mean I was, and if you want to quote some more of my posts you will see I also said that - offering props to Wittlake several times.

I think it's... 1 - Steveson 2 - Stalrocci 3 - Brooks 4 - O'Toole 5 - Carr

Garnett doesn't maths and per Chuck he is 'almost' a HoF type guy. In Chuck We Trust.

He is massive AF, but has been a 184lb 'lifer' so I don't know/think he will be going 197. It may be simple in that Minny cannot offer him an extension on his financial aide and some other school can throw bags at him. I think Nelson or McEnelly transferring out is worse case. They lose production, but I don't think it is an end of the world thing if he transfers out.

Ah yeah, definitely up from college, although it could be argued that he is still only 'up' one weight. He did compete at 74 KG typically, but 165lbs is within the 79 KG weight class (technically). That said, the wind was blowing that he was trying to get approval for Croatia. We will see tomorrow if he is still registered as USA or not. Not sure how it all goes or will go, tbh.

6'12" is taller than 7'0" Do you even maths?

This has to piss OP off to no end...

I hadn't considered that. Would it be inconceivable to think that Salazar may head out for his last year? Edit: Salazar still has a redshirt available, too.

Just one. He has been 79 KG for a while now.

The ref in that match is a fckn idiot. My goodness.

@LJB Your boys match with Miranda is for a spot at OTT. The other semi-finals has two gents from Kazakhstan in it. Best of luck to him! Edit: Just watched his semi-finals. He looks big.

Not shameful at all - I think he is right there, too. IF they all stay or navigate to 184 (Arnold/Thompson) 184 is going to be batshit, man. McEnelly being left out is my bad. I mean no sleight to that young man, either. There are quite a few others that will be in there, too. Shumate (or Rogotzke), Ferrari, Whiting, Fishback, etc...

Got to know who's bed to lay in to get those $2 tickets, brada. If you're good enough you'll get them even cheaper.

My thinking as well. I think right now their optimum weights would be somewhere between 174/184 but I do think down the line, with the current crop of 184lbers we have (I am talking young gents like Rogers, Berge, etc) that 184 will be the weight to talk about in 2-3 years.

Like in the neighborhood of 4-2 or less on all sides with Arnold being in deep a few times.

At 6'12" tall will Wick be the tallest 86 KG gent there?

We are getting off-topic here, and I apologize for my part in that. IF Arnold takes the mat against Wittlake it is going to be a barn-burner of a match. I don't necessarily consider it a toss-up, but I don't think Wittlake is some head and shoulders above Arnold favorite. Anybody who does should pay better attention.

Another thing to consider, in regards to 2021, was that up until NCAAs the B1G wasn't allowed to wrestle anyone aside for other B1G programs, were they not? Seeding was entirely fckd up there to boot.

165 was watered down because of the allocation criteria given to the EIWA. Injuries are injuries and happen everywhere all the time. I wouldn't have used injuries as justification. O'Toole was going to wrestle either way. Askren was adamant on that at the time.

What? Who?
