Nah, man. Iowa is a huge underdog this year without something really weird happening, thus has no effect on my enjoyment of the season, lol. I'm just not judging Van Ness off this match. And for the record, if you scratch my avi, it smells like cheap liqueur. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Let's see him against a higher level guy before we lose our minds. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Nope, he got hurt. Technically just last year Hildebrandt was healthy, no? Last elite level wrestler at 125 for Penn State who was also healthy would have to be Nico, I would guess. It is a bit odd.

Per Carl, per James R. Carlson, per Willie Saylor. Not sure if it's the whole year or not.

So my wife got ahold of my phone, and I have paid a steep price, lol. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

I get it and agree. It's totally a function of money, since DraftKings and FanDuel seem to own the entirety of the sports podcast landscape.

Yeah, but we're just talking about odds.

There's no way to formulate a full opinion on this until we see Spencer on the mat. If he looks like he did before the injuries or even most of the way, the odds are really good he wins. If he doesn't, that changes. We don't have near enough information at this point to make that determination.

We are not in said court of law, good sir, but the court of public opinion. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Schools going to be creating a lot of uncertainty and paperwork for themselves, since basically you're encouraging all athletes to go into the portal every year....just in case. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

This is one of those things I hear a lot of people say every time i go to a wrestling event, it's odd. Discussed by a lot of different people from many different fanbases. I personally don't have the examples, but lots of smoke. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

It could be....but what if you have no reason to transfer until May 2 or later? There obviously has to be a mechanism for dealing with that situation, and my suspicion is is what I described above, though I'll defer to more rules-knowing folk like Willie or JB or SHP.

I feel like plenty of people have transferred after the May 1 window, so this reeks of propaganda. Obviously a different rule set, but this reminds me of the whole Suriano leaving Penn State saga where Suriano et al. wanted to leave and Penn State was putting out information like "we're not objecting to him keeping his eligibility" but wouldn't actually sign off on the release. I'm always going to be on the side of the athletes having mobility. Their time is limited (although lately not so much, lol), and if they don't want to be somewhere, they should be allowed to leave, just like any other student in any other field. In this situation, very clearly the cause of the transfer happened AFTER the portal window closed. Why should he be penalized? Unless we just want all athletes going into the portal every year...just in case. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Stuff like this doesn't get resolved in 3 months unless the prosecutors just drop it completely. It usually takes at least 6-9 months, on the low end.

Am I misreading something? All the fine print in the world wouldn't have saved him anything. He didn't find out about this until May 23, 2022, and the deadline to be in the portal was May 1, 2022. He's saying that Wisconsin could release him without the portal penalty, but they won't (so far). He also is somewhat insinuating that the talks with Lamont preceded the May 23 date as well. Either way, it seems like he never had an opportunity to avail himself of the portal (prior to May 23, he didn't see any need to transfer; then they brought in his replacement). If what he says is true, Wisconsin should let him leave.

I think he's stated that, post competition, he's more of an administrative focus on being an AD.

Is there a way to see the desiccated husk of the board? That is, they moldering corpse, is it available for public consumption, even though we can't post?

He has limited his pool of AAs to people who were AAs the year they were beaten.

Bonus points is a differentiator amongst relative peers, not the be all end all. For example, using it as a tiebreaker of sorts between Yianni and Spencer if both win 4 (not that you have to favor bonus, just as what I perceive would be a fair tiebreaker).

Damn it, Dan is back?

Starts now.
