  1. I am at my limit for attachments. Once Bob cleans out my old stuff I can post something. Or maybe I can dump it into excel.
  2. Good eye. It is 25. The two Brad Smiths were counted as one.
  3. Apparently there were 24 Smith brothers who attended 18 different schools
  4. Tough one maybe the best I can do is same last name, different schools, similar years.
  5. The courts have made it clear that the NCAA and its member schools cannot restrict a student from receiving NIL.
  6. Last year. This year his dad said he busted his butt to bulk up to 184, but he (Gabe) would do whatever the coaches asked him to do because he is all about the team. His dad also said he never talks to him about it as he is not involved in the decision.
  7. Ben Keuter's mom giving Iowa fans who complain about his performance the what for over on HR this morning. Entertaining.
  8. Yes, the numbers change when you change them. Brilliant observation.
  9. Back in the day what it took to get to the tournament was a ride.
  10. One caveat. That weird orange bar includes years where they gave out AAs like covid relief funds. For example, there are two AAs in that total that never won an NCAA tournament match. I wish I could remember which team that was.
  11. Brands has not struggled to produce AAs, homegrown or transfers. He has struggled to produce champions.
  12. Counterpoint. The year OSU won was PSU's punt year. Iowa is still the only team to beat a fully committed PSU since 2010. And they were highly likely to do it two years in a row, both with predominantly homegrow and developed talent, had the pandemic not shut it down. That is more recent than OSU's title.
  13. Or follow Askren's advice? If you want to go to Iowa, go someplace else first. If you do well, get paid to go to Iowa.
  14. It is 0 during the Brands era
  15. While I agree with all of this, one key differentiator is Bramds has stayed more relevant than Smith was at the end. I just looked up Smith's age because I thought he was much older than Brands. I was shocked to see he is only 59.
  16. The Brands brothers are a huge part of the brand. You cannot separate them, so they get credit for that too, to my way of thinking.
  17. Only one coach has been better during Brands' tenure. Retirement doesn't look like it is needed to me at this point.
  18. As a staunch supporter of booze in all forms even I can admit it does not help my wrestling.
  19. Yes, it would be his fifth competition date.
  20. So no Steveson after all.
  21. I loved Jiro Dreams of Sushi. I love sushi even more. I used to be a non-sushi guy, now I get sushi cravings. And for any western suburbs of Chicago denizens Sushi by Chef Soon is the place to scratch any sushi itch.
