  1. Also wasn't the word out that Thicclay was sick or hurt enough he nearly didn't wrestle/finish NCAAs? And he still gave Brooks his best match of the weekend.
  2. I don't think anybody wants to dog on that 2008 149lbs bracket. The criteria asked wasn't about career accomplishments thereafter is all, just prior to.
  3. You mean five, correct? We are just in dev mode because wrestling hasn't actually started yet.
  4. Oh very well, spanky big dog. Using these and rounding to the nearest whole number all three have them with a total of 4.
  5. Where do you think the term and name Karen became synonymous? Her family coined it in vicious intent.
  6. It never is this whole list, but... https://www.wrestlestat.com/event/66719/participants/wrestlers Gander at the top of 285...
  7. If we round to the nearest whole number Intermat and Flo have them with 2 and Wrestlestat has them with 3.
  8. If we round to the nearest whole number Intermat and Flo have them with 5 and Wrestlestat has them with 6.
  9. If we round to the nearest whole number, Intermat has them with 3, Flo has them with 4, and Wrestlestat has them with 5.
  10. As Dr. @MPhillipssaid, he is just looking to stay within striking distance if 57 KG. Arujau is doing the same this year, too, at Cornell. While I agree that his athleticism and strength did serve him well, he did go 14W-10L on the season. He was 13W-8L prior to NCAAs and 10W-7L prior to Big 12s - He lost to Hendrickson via Major Decision there in a match where Hendrickson was bigger, faster, stronger, and better in every exchange. Hiendselman of Oklahoma and Wood of Lehigh are really the only dancing bear type guys he lost to prior to the postseason last year. Guys like Elam and Schuyler, which he traded off with, are in the same boat as him - as far as being athletic heavies in the 225-240 range. Being as good as them, in comparisons, is a good thing. Especially when wrestling up at heavy for the first time.
  11. Greetings All, After yesterday, what are everyone's thoughts as to how it should play out? Here are mine: If Georgia, Michigan, TCU, and USC win their conference championships, they should be the 1-4 in that order. If one of them loses this is what I think: - Georgia, they should still get in as the 2 or 3 and Michigan slide up to the 1. No outside team(s) would jump over a 1 loss Georgia. - Michigan, they should drop to the 4, but not be jumped. I don't care if a 2 loss Alabama is 'better' when they lost twice. The Ohio State got clobbered at home in 'The Game' so no to them as well. - TCU, I think a case can be made for TCU to drop out and either Alabama or the Ohio State jump them, but being a 1 loss team and having made their conference championship game makes it so I lean to them getting a mulligan for me maybe? - USC, they undoubtedly drop out and no two loss non-SEC(Alabama) school is going to get in at this point. The question becomes which one? Alabama or the Ohio State? The B1G in me says tOSU, but the logical mindset in me thinks that if they say 'Who is better?' that they will select Alabama - justifiably so. Of the four current favorites to make it, I believe that Georgia us the only lock. Even if they get blown out, I think they get in. If Michigan or TCU lose competitive back and forth matches, then they might - more Michigan than TCU, though, as Michigan has the recency bias if the tOSU victory going for them. Prediction? I can't really make one - honestly. I think Michigan is the biggest lock to win of the four. TCU and USC have rematches. USC lose to Utah earlier this year and TCU beat Kansas State and it is hard to beat good teams twice. That gives me a gut feeling that USC will win and TCU will not. I think Georgia will win a slugfest, even if they don't win, like I said before, I think they are in. So my thinking is this: If TCU us the only of the four to lose, then the Ohio State gets in. If they are comparing four 1 loss teams (Alabama abd tOSU as well as USC), then the lone 2 loss squad gets eliminated. Then they say yes to USC as the 3, having won their conference championship. They give tOSU the nod. Their loss to Michigan was closer than the score indicated. 1-UGA, 2-UofM, 3-USC, 3-tOSU. If USC is the lone loser of the favorites, it essentially comes down ti Alabama and the Ohio State, in which I think they will favor Alabama. 1-UGA, 2-UofM, 3-TCU, 4-Bama If USC and TCU lose, which is possible, I think this is most likely: 1-UGA, 2-UofM, 3-Bama, 4-tOSU I think it ends up being TCU as the lone loser. 1-UGA, 2-UofM, 3-USC, 3-tOSU. EDIT: My apologies for the ramble.
  12. This seems like fake news. If only there were a way to know for sure.
  13. LADY That is Levi Haines's mum. Show some respect.
  14. Oh, I intend to. That is what I did last year.
  15. Why do we have to select Illiniois? Do I not get to read Illinois content if I select Michigan State or the conference option?
  16. What had those gents won PRIOR to the 2008 tournament taking place, though? JB hadn't even pulled a podium finish yet, had he?
  17. While I don't think comparing present accomplishments with career - in hindsight - isn't apples and oranges, it isn't what the OP was looking for. 2008 149 is definitely an all-timer. We all know and agree to this. It didn't have 2x JB, though. That hadn't happened yet. What weight classes had the most accomplishments congruently, nor cumulatively? This year's 165 has to be right up there.
  18. Artalona for Penn. I am unsure how TB goes if tied at 17-17.
  19. Penn came to wrestle. Nice.
