Deterring

While combing through all of these brackets, one stuck out in particular as maybe the most broken bracket I've ever seen. This is the 2006 157 pound bracket. #1 seed Trent Paulson upset in the 1/4's by #9 Joe Johnston (he would go on to take 4th) #2 seed C.P. Schlatter upset in R16 by (US) Andrew Flanagan, wins one match on the backside before being eliminated by (US) Tony Hook. #3 seed Alex Tirapelle upset in 1/4's by #11 Derek Zinck, and then is eliminated after his next match in R12 by #7 Dustin Manotti #4 seed Matt Lebe upset in the R16 by (US) Michael Chandler, and is eliminated after dropping his next match to #7 Manotti #5 seed Ben Cherrington is your national champion #6 seed Brandon Becker upset in R16 by #11 Derek Zinck (he would go on to take 7th) #7 seed Dustin Manotti upset in R32 by (US) Tony Hook, he would then battle all the way back for 3rd taking out #3 and #4 en route #8 Craig Henning wrestled to his seed with an 8th place finish Some interesting facts that come out of this bracket.. The #2, #3, and #4 wrestlers failed to place None of the top 4 seeds reached the semis The semis were #5 vs #9 and #10 vs #11 #5 Ben Cherrington won a national title without facing a wrestler seeded above him #10 Brian Stith made it to the finals without facing a wrestler seeded above him So, you had a national finals between a #5 and #10 and neither wrestler faced anyone seeded higher than #9 to get there. I'd be surprised if this has happened any other time in the modern era. Can anyone think of any other brackets that compare to this kind of combustibility?

Proof please.

I won’t even take my g kids to a professional or college sporting event in an inner city. Not even close to safe

Ya it’s just kids killing kids. No biggie huh?

As long as I don't try to sell drugs in the inner city, my chances of getting knocked off by a gang are lower than negligible. I always keep my head on a swivel though when I'm around redneck guys with pickup trucks and waving American flags. These whack jobs can pop up anywhere.

And here’s something that can not be disputed is almost entirely being talked about by conservatives

Well this conversation started because the topic was about threats to random people. Do you have the stats on how many of those murders are people known to them? If not there’s not really any point in posting your random articles. Also, you’re not trying to imply gang members are democrats, are you?

Parris > Hillger, so that is better for us going forward, to have Parris and Pindrickson making one another the best versions of themselves that they can. I know Kerk is in the mix, too - but he needs to get healthy/stay healthy before I consider him to be a threat at the senior level.

He was on my team in Highschool

It's been on a downward trajectory since 1991.

Let me know when you come up with something that the Nat Guard will actually be doing that's not a waste of taxpayer dollars.

So they do commit way more murders. But you have to categorize them differently so you can target a group you don’t like politically. Gotcha.

Sam was a legend, he was talked about ALOT back in the day, and he is still around. He works out with some kids at UCO some, and he has some highschool kids he rolls with quite a bit. BIG FAN of him, and he is a great guy

These aren’t mass murders.

You raise a good point about Azerbajan, I am puzzled why he is not going to Bahrain. The unfairness to the apporach in wrestling has been discussed multiple times. It sucks, but I don't see it changing.

Some of the others seem to have recency bias attached to the results... for this one I think 2018 is just simply the best bracket. 2014 is pretty lit, as well.

10 years ago. Thanks for proving the point. I didn’t say it never happens, so no need to pull up a more recent one.
