Seems like a stretch, what with Bo having his senior high school season next year...

When looking for Greg's obituary I came across this tweet about him that I really enjoyed, so thought I would share.

Take that haters that think NIL will be the death of all the smaller programs

That doesn’t mean anything. Your wife is that and she’s 190

Did these in the past. I am just a nobody wrestling fan so feel free to let me know where you think I went wrong. I have no insight into starting lineups (just used wrestlestat to collect all of the data) B1G Interactive Brackets Interactive Brackets: use the interactive brackets using the following letters and the team score will automatically: D, M, T, F (decision, major, tech, fall). Seed changes: You can change those seeds on the 125R, 133R, 141R, etc. sheets and it will automatically update the team predictions based off of seeds with no bonus factored in.

WKN and SocraTease -- Good discussion and beneficial to anyone interested in wrestlers being honored. When I first came up with the concept back in 1994, I sat down with Dan Hodge (my first book was "Two Guys Named Dan" in 1976 and we became very good friends) and told him of my plans to create something similar to the Heisman Trophy, to draw more media attention and to give college wrestlers something extra to shoot for. Dan endorsed the idea and said if I named it after him, he would like pinning to be an essential part. In 1956, Dan won three national titles (collegiate, freestyle and Greco-Roman) in two weeks time by pinning all 13 foes. I quickly agreed that pinning would be a main factor. But since then, Bryan Van Kley (who bought WIN from me many years ago) and I have tried to "keep up with the times" by including dominance to mean techs and majors, as well as pins. And we consult with many former coaches and leaders of the sport who are on the voting committee and try to listen to what fans are saying (WKN and JB, in particular) and some of my longtime friends who have been involved with the sport for over half a century. Bryan and I are proud that over 20,000 fans vote on line each year and that all the colleges that have a winner play it up big, both at the annual wrestling banquet and at a football game in the fall, often with 70,000 fans in attendance. And we greatly appreciate our sponsor Asics. The goal was always to make wrestling more visible and to honor those who excel at Mankind's Oldest Sport. -- Mike Chapman

McEnelly takes out Starocci in the semis.

Just ask him. Hey Angelo, what is your ceiling at NCAAs this year:

My favorite part was where AJ Ferrari boasted about getting his “vanity” under control… while wearing an AJ Ferrari shirt.

I admire Penn State's wrestling program, but I have to make an exception with Nickal. He's is often an example of things gone haywire and wrong. He exudes toxic "bro" culture and exaggerated macho-ness. He has a Texas-sized ego that often rivals Ferarri for it's wounded narcissism. (The two are from the same high school.) He is blindly ambitious in that sense made famous by Oscar Wilde's line, "Ambition is the last refuge of failure". He has no sense of proportion. Listen to the tone of his words as well as the content. He is hyperbolic and usually self-referential. He invokes Jesus as some kind of culture warrior, but clearly knows little to nothing about biblical history, the New Testament, or his occasional "hero's" life and words. He hitches a ride off the bluster, blatant jingoism, and authoritarianism of a dangerous politician who will remain unnamed. He has athletic talent but imagines he is the second coming of something special in MMA. He's not. When he gets plastered to the floor in MMA the way Askren got humbled, I expect we will hear a litany of excuses. As for his jealousy of David Taylor, Nickal shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence.

In thinking about dark horses I originally wanted to limit it to guys outside of the top 8 as they are already ranked for AA. But then I got to thinking about the 9 - 12 group and how they are only a blood round win away (in theory), from AA. So I decided to limit myself to 13 and higher. The higher the darker. Then I looked for guys with some rankings momentum. Here is what I have: I love that there are guys from Northern Illinois, Central Michigan, Campbell, Bucknell, Navy, Army, and Bakersfield that are rallying into their conference tournaments. Those are the guys I am pulling hardest for.

Unbelievable, gents. We've made it to our FOURTH year of doing this. This will be our official thread as we start to put together the league. My plan for right now is we will be having a $25 entry fee. We will pay out as follows, team trophies like NCAAs so the top 4 get paid something. We cap the league at 15 players as always. The entry fees should total $375 ($25 x 15 players). 1st Place: $200 2nd Place: $100 3rd Place: $50 4th Place: $25 (money back) HERE ARE LAST YEAR'S ENTRANTS AND THEIR STATUS AS OF NOW @Antitroll2828 @JVStateChamp - confirmed wants to play @Perry - confirmed wants to play Me. The Kid. - confirmed wants to play @flyingcement @lu_alum @RockLobster @Gage @MizzouFan01 - confirmed wants to play @steamboat_charlie @Idaho @MPhillips - he got Biblical in response to the Mark of the Beast going onto the waiting list, so I think he's in @Truzzcat - confirmed wants to play @jajensen09 @nhs67 - confirmed wants to play My policy this year remains the same as last year: Prior year entrants have first dibs, but if I don't hear from you by a certain time (TBD) before the Draft (TBD also but has to be done by Tuesday night before NCAAs, because I fly out Wednesday morning) we will go to the wait list. Also, if you don't pay by that same time given to prior entrants, you lose your spot unless you get it paid before it's filled by someone off the wait list. The draft will be held using these forums and a Zoom call (Zoom was fun last year for those that joined!) to try to make it go as fast as possible. I'll hammer out the draft details in a later post. The rules remain the same: you draft one person per weight class, plus you get one "Wild Card" which can be any weight. The Draft will be snake style. HERE IS OUR CURRENT WAIT LIST, WHICH WILL BE FIRST COME FIRST SERVE @666 @BruceyB

Starocci and his brother may be second on that list after this year.

Kennedy has one year of eligibility left. As to this farcical post, first we can let Gabe Arnold speak for himself: The most logical way this played out, to me (and this is without insider info) 1. Gabe, Kennedy, and Brands all want to go 174 in the offseason, and all are healthy. 2. Brands at that point was beating the other two, so Gabe makes the decision early to go up. 3. Kennedy is small for 174, let alone 184 so that's not viable for him. 4. The presumption was Brands and Kennedy would battle it out for 174, but most people thought Brands was the favorite in that match up. 5. Brands gets hurt, so Kennedy can slide in to that spot. Arnold is already up at 184 and doing well. Brands is injured, so he can't be counted on to bump up in that scenario, which would have allowed Arnold to come down and challenged Kennedy. 7. Brands is out for most of the season; Kennedy wrestles well against lesser competition; Gabe does pretty well at 184, but not lights out. 8. Kennedy meets some of the tougher guys, and the results start to dry up; Brands is cleared, and is coming back. Now this is all deductive reasoning, but it all makes sense. And no, I don't think Gabe was placed at 184. I think it's very likely RS freshman Gabe Arnold was struggling to beat a healthy former 5th place finisher at the NCAAs, so he decided to go up (and will come back down next year).

Fun watching when you don't have a dog in the fight. Thanks to OSU (central) and Hawkeyes for doing this every year.

Sasso a warrior, 99% of people wouldn't even make it back to the mat. It has been a pleasure watching him these last 5 years.

I have spent some time cleaning up the Big Board data @Husker_Du so kindly shared. Who knew Shakur Rasheed was Corey Rasheed in high school? I am sure some of you did, but I didn't. I also updated the results to include the 2023 class and the 2024 results. Last time around I pulled data from Flo, but this time it is just the Real Big Board data from Willie. So there will be some differences based on that. For this round I am focusing on the Top 10 recruits. Like Jesse James with banks, that is where the money is. The Top 10 only produced 39% of the AAs in the sample, but they produced 77% of the Champions. So, it seemed like they should be their own category. The next 10 (11 - 20) produced 18% of the AAs and 16% of the champions. That seemed like their own bucket too. The next 20 (21 - 40) produced 19% of the AAs and that gets us to 76% and that is enough. As suspected, Penn State and Ohio State dominate the Top 10 recruits with 18 each. If you were to rank the recruiting classes without knowing what the results would be for the whole 11 years, it would probably look like this. A tie between Ohio State and Penn State with Oklahoma State a little way back, and Iowa/Michigan a long way back. If you re-rank those classes based on results, I think it would look like this. Penn State runs away with it. While Penn State and Ohio State each had 18 Top 10 recruits in 11 years, the Penn State recruits produced a whopping 33 trips to the finals and 25 total individual titles. Bo Nickal was right. That's what they do. Oklahoma State drops from #3 to #7 once you see the results. While their 12 Top 10 recruits produced 16 AA's, they only had 1 title out of 6 finalists. Iowa also slips a spot from #4 to #5 as their 7 recruits produced 6 trips to the finals with 3 titles. Michigan drops from #5 to #10 having gotten only 9 AAs and 1 title from their 7 Top 10 recruits. Meanwhile Missouri and Cornell did more with less. Missouri moves up from #12 to #4 once you factor in their 5 titles from 5 trips to the finals with only 3 Top 10 recruits. Cornell jumps from #7 to #3 on the strength of their 6 titles from 6 finals with 5 top 10 recruits. Arizona State hangs in there at #6 in both the before and after rankings.

Biggest threat to Messenbrink is food poising or some flesh eating disease that prevents him from taking the mat.

Cam Steed of Missouri. He can either go 0/2 or podium. Regardless, he will let it fly.

It's definitely @Hammerlock3...Went from Hammerlock to Hammerlock2 and now Hammerlock3 because he keeps forgetting his passwords

Someone on HVI asked me to calculate the odds of PSU finishing with just 1 champion. Here is what I came up with. There are a couple ways to look at this. Using odds generated from the entire field between 2010 and 2024, and assuming the current Flo rankings will also be the seeds, the most likely outcome is 3 champions. There is even an infinitely small chance of 10 champs (0.0000172%) But PSU has always performed better than the field. If we use odds generated from PSU's results over the same time frame, the most likely outcome jumps up to 5 champions. However, the odds of 9 or 10 go to zero as PSU has not had a #4 or #8 win in that window. In this scenario there is even a 32.5% chance PSU breaks the record and finishes with 6+ champions. Nuts. The big difference is the #1 and #2 seeds. For the field including PSU #1 seeds won 52.14% of the time, but PSU #1 seeds won 80.77% of the time. For the field including PSU #2 seeds won 19.29% of the time, but PSU #2 seeds won 42.11% of the time. Of course, the B1G tournament results will go a long way toward determining the actual seeds. I will update this at that time.

There were 63 freshmen who qualified for the 2021 tournament, thereby earning the first of five potential bites at the apple. Of those 63 only 25 have earned All-American status at any point since. 7 four-timers 2 three-timers 7 two-timers 9 one-timers Despite this being the fifth tournament they have been eligible for there still many with eligibility left. Everyone's favorite soldier saluter, AJ Ferrari, leads the way with two more years of eligibility after this year. Rocky Elam, Taye Ghadiali, Lucas Byrd, Chris Cannon and Dylan Ragusin have another year if they ask for and get a medical. It looks like only David Key (Navy), and Ben Pasiuk (Army) left a year of eligibility on the table by only using four. Of those finishing up this year Kyle Parco, Cam Amine, Wyatt Hendrickson, Trey Munoz, and Michael Beard have all exercised their freedom of movement by finishing at a school other than where they started the potential five-time journey in 2020 or 2021.

Didn't you see history being made? When was the last time a three time state champ was disqualified in his quest for four because he went into the stands to help his father fight? Can't be more than two or three times.

What is Myles Martin the GOAT of?

The whole "our transfers are virtuous, yours are an indictment" thing is so tired

According to Jordan himself, David Taylor and the staff saved his life. https://www.ocolly.com/sports/wrestling/jordan-williams-reflects-on-how-osu-coaches-saved-my-life/article_4a038ae4-e4a4-11ef-9422-3fb4ae44f7a9.html

My son is 6 and in his second year of wrestling and he insists on wearing a singlet to every practice, the only kid who does

I always remind myself, we are all dealing with something. Empathy is a good thing.

No matter who he wrestles for, he is and always will be a douche.

Yes.

I’m guessing Arnold finds a way to lose in the quarters and avoid Starocci yet again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No doubt. I'm actually quite shocked he was allowed to wrestle after going into the stands and assaulting someone. That is wild.

I am not a fan of the claim that "he got baited into the attack". The fact that he is a 19 year old adult, whether in high school or not, going into the stands to assault a minor (no matter what age the minor is) is not a good thing or a wise decision. Student athletes have been removed from tournaments/athletic eligibility for way more minor issues. We have seen way too many athletes never face consequences for their actions and it becomes a problem as they travel down the road of life. The father obviously never learned that lesson, and by filing and winning an injunction the kid is not learning either. I have no axe to grind in this, not from NJ, and actually am a Cornell fan to some degree. Anthony Knox being allowed to wrestle for his 4th state title is a travesty and should be seen as such, can't understand those who see him as being allowed to wrestle as a "win".

That was special. The way that kid lit up was amazing.

Terrible news to begin the week that we have lost one of our own. Hope you're having a blast with those Sunday comics in the sky because you will be missed down here.

Karl is often misspelled Cael.

Opening this thread, I was hopefully thinking that it was only the blog that was gone and not the actual man. always enjoyed interacting with him. His comics and attitude helped create a laid back and fun environment here. Jombo was a hilarious way to start Sunday mornings. He will be missed and his impact will not be quickly forgotten.

Tyler Wells, 133. Was in the blood round last year but has not had a good January/February. Will be seeded low, but is capable of beating almost anyone in the field imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Before folks ask: Jayden's lone loss was a 10-7 match to Forrest in OT. Other than a 1-0 victory over Sem's Botello, he had two Techfalls and 41 6 pointers (fft/Pinfall). Jordyn had 12 pinfalls.

Run a better candidate next time and stop crying in your Cheerios.

The fact that this dual isn't mandatory and both schools still schedule it is awesome. Low bar, i know.

few older ones that come to mind - Mitch Clark, Mike Sheets, Tim Krieger

Daton Fix is the greatest double boots parallel rider of all time. He was a generational talent when it came to milking the riding time clock.

Davino may get the start and then start at the B1G tourney and Bouzakis may pack up early to get to PITT...

The big picture is that Trump can speak for three hours in long form on Rogan and leave you impressed. The media has to clip Trump to cut context and make up bad intent stories to make him look worse. The opposite is true for Harris.

Yes. Honestly the singlet was never the reason interested kids would avoid wrestling.
