It used to be(and still is) 330 wrestlers but before the recent formula based auto qualification process with 33 wrestlers per weight, some weights might have 35 others 29.

Demas is in.

care to make a wager....never mind

He's not as old a timer as me. I would have said Pac-8! mspart

First graph here shows national qualifiers by home state, grouped into three seeding groups. Blue is seeds 1-11. Red is seeds 12-22. Yellow is seeds 23-33. These are the top 18 states in terms of total qualifiers so that the image doesn't get shrunk down too small.

Why does Radio Shack ask for your phone number when you buy batteries?

So you are saying Stanford should be praised if he wins the NCAA title. I agree with that.

They'll both lose in the first round

1933 had five pinfalls in eight weight classes. 1955 also had five pinfalls, but in ten weight classes. But bouts were longer then. For example, one of the 1933 pinfalls occurred at 12:12. In the 10 weight, 7 minute era (1982 to present) the most was two pinfalls in 1987 and again in 2011. The shortening of matches led to a big drop in finals pinfalls. It has been three tournaments without a pinfall in the finals. If there are none this year it will tie the longest streak of tournaments without a pinfall (1974-1977, 1994-1997, 2003-2006).

Jimmy troll thread… He wasn’t beating RBY in 2021 or 2022. He probably never beats Fix either, and never beat Micic after beating him the first time while at Drexel. He wasn’t going to win as a true freshman. His best shot would’ve been this year at 141 if he had redshirted, but then Iowa probably doesn’t have Woods.

Well, that's why they do the wrestling and see where it all comes out. mspart

Yeah, this is a BRUTAL way to go for any kid, especially a kid with a...legit chance to make a run and maybe get into the finals or semis(I don't remember the bracket off the top of my head...I think he was on Yianni's side as the #9 though). Anyway...yeah, I'd rather see a kid with one more chance. But, he's an All American.

He goes by Jon Jon to friends and family. I absolutely hate this for him. From being a 1 time North Carolina state champion to a guy competing with the best in the country every year. His development has been a joy to watch.

He was good, too bad for him and that program.

Lab leak from the Iowa City Institute of Virology? Isn't that where they study swine flu?

Murin may shock some people

Jimmy C at his best during March wrestle-madness!

Lee gets pinned first period, Glory doesn't make weight. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As shown above, Illinois, on the basis of wrestler-defined home-state, is the only state which has produced a national qualifier for each and every conference this year.

Here are the high schools which have more than two national qualifiers in this year's tournament: Blair Academy Cannon, Chris Van Ness, Shayne Incontrera, Nick Miller, Ryan Colaiocco, Michael Ramirez, Julian Trephan, Owen St. Edward Kazimir, Matthew Andonian, Bryce Gallagher, Paddy Rini, Angelo Hart, Allan Bergen Catholic Cardenas, Jacob Griffith, Shane Zargo, Joseph Ferrante, Carmen Foca, Chris Wyoming Seminary Cooley, Austin Bartlett, Beau McNeil, Lachlan St. Paris Graham Moore, Mitch Jordan, Rocky Jordan, Tanner Montini Catholic Lewan, Will Woods, Real Ragusin, Dylan Marian Central Catholic Heller, Reece Heller, Holden Connell, Dylan Cathedral Prep Starocci, Carter Johnson, Paniro Crosby, Dorian

Has this ever happened before at another level? I’m sure that’s an emotional roller coaster for their parents!

1st #1 to lose: Nino Bonaccorsi to the winner of the Max Dean/Silas Allred winner. 2nd #1 to lose: Real Woods to the winner of the Ryan Jack/Brock Hardy winner.

Depends. What is Twitter?

I think one of these sees their name in the consolation bracket when they go to the hotel Thursday night, in order of most to least likely: Keck Woods Bonaccorsi AOC

So are you intent on adding a 4th day?

Awesome video! Posted a second time so we can try to improve our estimate of how stupid these people are. Imagine being so stupid you believe the self serving lies of Trump - no evidence required! Then double down on that and throw your life away for it. Anybody on this board still willing to say they believe his election lies? Would you throw your life away for it?

Lee or RBY

Mark Schultz has a story about wrestling a bear that was chained up at some bar. I think the catch was you would only win if you could pin both of its wrists down at the same time, which is apparently impossible because of how they are built. He felt sad for the bear since he thought the owner abused it.

So inexcusable that the Coalition of the Willing got away with it and kept their olympics medals while finding war across land masses and oceans. Was the rape of the Armenian female soldier excusable to you? Or just the right having the right friends makes wars just.

I asked the question, as I was thinking about the implications of picking #11 seed McG. @VakAttack very quickly stated that “you pick the guy, not the position.” Jerry Callo is now playing a man short. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also it appears the folks in Indiana do not stoop to the level of a non-Big-10 conference

Pinfall

Looks like Illinois & Oklahoma win the stray cat & loyal dog awards respectively.

Queue.

Good to know. Will edit my data. FYI @Wrestleknownothing (because I sent him the high school data previous)

Lots of stellar student athletes out there

I'd still cut them from the team. And do everything I could to prevent a clean transfer.

Where do we seed Brooks if he doesn't wrestle in those events? Even though we know he's the best wrestler in the weight class...

#VakBankmanFried

And for last year's group, Kizhan Clarke was a law student at UNC when he placed second overall. And then was memorably offered a job by Nick Lee's dad

In addition to having eight eyes, he also has the advantage of being able to allocate one leg to the volume/mute button for each mat. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm gonna go to Best Buy and put a different mat on each of the tv's on the display wall
