    Why?
  2. Wrestleknownothing
    Always the same schtick with you. Why?

    Now you might be tempted to think that the Illinois coaches of that era had something figured out about OT tactics. But you would be wrong. The other end of the spectrum is poor Griff Powell, Illinois' 157 rep between 2000 and 2002. He went to )T 5 times in those three tournaments and never got his hand raised once. And Powell was no piker. He finished 8th in 2002 after a blood round lose in 2001.

    Lewan was 4-2 in his 6 OT matches, the same winning % as Morningstar (6-3). But with 9 OT matches Morningstar is the King of the "But, Wait. There Is More" Hill. But the real King of the Deep Water was Illinois' John Lockhart. Across the 2001 and 2002 tournaments he went to OT 7 times and he got his hand raised 7 times.

    Cam also was seeded #6 and #8 two of those years

    Combined finish = 13
  12. Wrestleknownothing
    No, sir.

    Good catch. You found a data error on wrestlingstats.com. Their bracket has Sonny Yohn seeded 8th, but their results summary at the beginning has him listed as [US]. So, now there are only two who have achieved this and we are still missing one.

    two out of three. one to go.

    Yeah, those returning GIs had a reputation for sloth.

    I checked with the esteemed panel of trivia judges and they pointed out it requires seeding to not be seeded in the top 8. I argued your case hard, but they were unmoved by my pleas.

    Good work. 1 for 2. Sonny Yohn from 2010 - 2012 was unseeded, #9, and #10 while finishing 8, 7, 5.
  18. Wrestleknownothing
    The seeded eras which began in 1940s
  19. Wrestleknownothing
    Unfortunately not. There were no seeds back in the day so they could not be seeded outside the top 8.
  20. Wrestleknownothing
    There are a trio of wrestlers who AA'd three times apiece without being seeded in the top 8. And for each of them it was the only three times they AA'd. Name them.

    It was like catching a tiger by the tail. He took his responsibilty to make sure we were prepared VERY seriously. I was hanging on for dear life, but I hung on. And did I mention the shoulders?

    These are content creators. A journalist would seek comment from all the parties. And if they did not receive comments they would say as much.
  23. Wrestleknownothing
    Why would _______ lie? Is the lamest form of argument.
  24. Wrestleknownothing
    I'm not talking out of any side. All I did was differentiate between a content creator and media that buys the rights to broadcast major sports.

    Weirdly he was a physics major
