As always, thanks for this work.
What year did they start seeding every wrestler in the bracket? Was it 2010?
If not, it would be super interesting to see those numbers.
Crazy... I think it is the same design on the blue singlets. Also crazy: it wasn't just one wrestler, it was 30 for the US.
But Agave really loves to knock Spencer Lee. Really loves it.
I've said it before, but I wrestled in a square. Never used the 10' apart lines, but they were on more than one mat I competed on.
I think tech fall became a thing my sophomore year.
Also mentioned (years ago) that he stopped doing leg passes in MMA so he didn't get caught in a leg submission during the entanglement.
Just this week, he argued that PD should not be a thing in college wrestling. This is EXACTLY why PD should be a thing. Dangerous positions, that while not "illegal" are often unintentional and can result in injury. Not every position can be covered by the rule book!
Meanwhile, last week, Ben (whom I am a fan of) was still under the impression that a toe hold was illegal (but it hasn't been for year.)
I hope he is fine, and I'm sure he will be, but PSU may want to evaluate their 1950s training methods after recent issues with Howard, Nagao, SVN, and now Stall Rocky. Almost half the lineup, not to mention "no-knees" Kerk.
Does Cael's loss from his redshirt year count? Does "undefeated" have an asterisk next to it? He was enrolled, at Iowa State, there was a referee, they had a match at a collegiate tournament.
No... because they both wrestled under the rules of the day.
