I've done a few national tournament projections on Wrestlestat. You enter results for each weight class and then it adds up the team score for you. In almost every case, Penn State was roughly double the points of the second place team. Since we know Penn State will win - the interesting question is - who does come second? Nebraska? Ohio State? Missouri? Cornell? ASU? NC State? Virginia Tech?

Also Dean Hamiti was guaranteed to beat Alex Marinelli and Jesse Mendez to beat Roman Bravo Young. But in general I agree.

I say yes he is a threat to win. 157 may be deep but I think there is a decent amount of parity at the top

I'm not glossing over. I break rules all the time hoping not to get caught (nothing serious obviously) I acknowledged he made a decision to do so and it didn't work out for him. For that I feel bad for him. I don't think sports gambling is that big of a deal outside your own sport. Hope the NCAA reconsiders their rule for the future or draws a reasonable line for what's considered de minimis

I'm not saying the NCAA should decide not to enforce their rules, I'm just saying i don't think the crime as written, fits the penalty in many cases. Of course he could know that would be a possibility for him but I still think it sucks and feel bad for him as a result. Funny because I never particularly rooted for him as a wrestler.

If a rule of law doesn't make sense, people will make a value judgment in which they compared the severity of the penalty combined with the likelihood of being caught with how they value their freedom to partake in activities which would break those laws. In this case, because I believe this crime was not egregious, I feel empathy that he has to face what I view is an overly heavy-handed penalty. If someone believes that this is an outrageous crime for which a year of lost eligibility is appropriate, I would be curious to hear their rationale. The insider information piece has been covered by Vak already. Anything else we're missing?

for your top chart which is the cumulative AA time series by team - I would be curious if the slope of the last five years or so was applied to the future - at what point is PSU expected to overtake Iowa and Oklahoma State.

amazing work as usual. thanks brother

And he's bad

Some people are wired to be rule followers instead of rule questioners. I guess we need both types of people, but it can be frustrating to interact with those who are not willing to think critically.

Seems like it's coming up on a month since Koll took the job in the next week or so. Interesting it doesn't seem anyone has used the opportunity to enter the portal from either Stanford or UNC side so far. Wonder if we hear anything in the next week.

Sounds like it's an Olympic redshirt and he is on Italys roster.

Jacob Bullock, Indiana heavyweight to redshirt Nick Willham to start

No island brother. I'm with you. Well maybe it's an archipelago

dont forget @jajensen09

Copied from Iowa State board. The following wrestlers failed their hydration test while attempting to qualify for the accompanying weight. They still have time to figure it out and requalify, but as expressed on the Iowa state board, this likely means that Echemendia is not touching 141 and that Gaitan has put on the requisite weight for his weight class after being undersized last year. Kysen Terukina 125 M RS Jr. 0-0 Drew Woodley 141 M RS Jr. 0-0 Anthony Echemendia 149 M RS So. 0-0 Paniro Johnson 149 M So. 0-0 Andrew Huddleston 157 M RS Jr. 0-0 Caden Schmidt 165 M Jr. 0-0 Ben Monroe 165 M RS Jr. 0-0 MJ Gaitan 174 M RS Fr. 0-0 Colby Runner 184 M Fr. 0-0

I posted a laughing reaction to this, but actually... his persona fits the character of the school

Good news for South Dakota State fans- and of course for Dubuque and Princeton

I lasted a minute before racing for extinguisher. Worth it as an adrenaline seeking endeavor for me. I know it's not for everyone. That's awesome you can actually get stuff to grow. I've tried many types but I am a terrible Gardner. It's usually down to me over or under watering. What do you do with all of yours? Make sauces or eat them as they are?

I wanted fat and soluble fiber as a base. I'm dairy free anyway. Just went through with it. Was quite painful and intense but with the help of a half gallon of oat milk, my mouth is back to normal. I'm just praying for my intestines

This has nothing to do with smoking or meats, but I'm considering this as a catch-all food thread. Today I'm doing the one chip challenge. Just laid down a foundation of mashed potatoes in my stomach to try and make things a little easier on the guts

Wrestlestat finally has Alirez listed as Redshirt (Olympic) which he had already previously announced

I'm not proposing for the whole community to make the same interpretation as I did, but yeah I did see it that way. And also, I thought it was interesting to make note that a community college in Iowa has three starters on a good team based in Oregon

Oregon State Roster has only three non transfers as starters 125: Kaylor 133: Whisenhunt 141: Belton (Arizona State) 149: Tolentino 157: Crosby (Iowa Western CC) 165: Olguin (Fresno State) 174: Wittlake (Oklahoma State) 184: Munoz (Arizona State) 197: Mower (Iowa Western CC) 285: McDermott (Rutgers, Iowa Western CC)

lol I meant to say high school friends. Bob wont make an exception for the 15 minute rule though I have applied
