Got too drunk, sorry ja. There was no reason to talk like that.

I had a drunken tirade on the old Mat forum.  It happens.  @jajensen09 is a good fella.  He's been radio silent so I tagged him hoping he starts posting again.  He makes the forum more fun...like PSU fun

Tyler Kasak read this thread last night and was not happy. 

He took it out on and majored a former #1 Nebraska guy, who did not Love It

Sigh. Graham Rooks made it to the dance 4 times but just couldn’t get over the hump to AA. I thought he was good enough the last two years, but last night he ran into the buzzsaw Kasak.

As one would expect in the national tournament. 

The point is that you're pointing out that if the table gets run in a negative way against Penn State, and Nebraska runs the table itself, Penn State could theoretically lose.  OK, fine, that's what message boards are for.

But Penn State has never had the table run against it -- not even close.  Instead, they usually do very well or run the table themselves.  Particularly at NCAAs, they have often been a little flat at Big Tens, even losing, and then hit a higher gear two weeks later.

Taking heart in yesterday because of the back to back Bartlett/Van Ness losses?  Really?  How about the pin that Kasak quickly responded with?  How about the true freshman majoring the top ranked guy? How about Messenbrink spotting the hottest wrestler in the tournament a takedown and then breaking him and scattering him into itty bitty tiny little pieces that are still floating around beautiful modern Welsh Ryan Arena?  And is there anything to suggest they'll do WORSE at NCAAs?

Double bump

This is looking possible now. 1 champ... especially if Carter gets #2 seed

Still feeling Teemer taking out Kasak in the quarters?

[Ethan Mcgrath]

Why would Carter get 2? He’s undefeated big ten champ and beat Parker earlier which will affect coaches ranking

The All-Star match doesn't count.

You should have taken my bet! Barr got hurt yesterday. If three or four more go out, Nebraska just might have a shot to catch Penn State.

A healthy/ in shape teamer vs kassak in the quarters would be fire!!

To be clear, it does not count for quality wins, win%, or RPI.

But there is nothing to prevent a coach from counting it when they do the rankings. They are free to rank however they want, by height, by looks, by net worth, or even by who they think is best. Who is to say a coach is not including that result in his consideration? After all it is very hard for humans to pretend they do not know something. Many behavioral economic studies have demonstrated this phenomena.

And coaches' rank is a bit of a cheat code for seeding.

The fate of Starocci and Keckeisen is likely in the hands of these four men:

Big 12 Conference Mark Branch 197

Big 12 Conference Obenson Blanc 197

Big Ten Conference Alex Clemsen 197

Big Ten Conference Chris Bono 197
