Nailed it. Mocco is a fun one. He has to be the answer to another trivia question. Who is the only wrestler to wrestle exactly to his seed every year? Twice as a #2 seed he finished second, twice as a #1 seed he won it all. Now I need to check if there are any others.

You are soooo close on these. Keep up the good work.

This whole thing started with me looking at Askren, but sadly he was a #6 seed his freshman year.

Also three out of four. Lovett was the #10 seed.

Three out of four. Carter was the #4 seed.

Marinelli was 4-0 against Evan Wick prior to the NCAA tournament. For your own mental health, I implore you not to look up his record against Wick in the NCAA tournament. He was 2-0 against Cam Amine in the "not the NCAA tournament". You already know about what happened next.

Look on the bright side. Now you are free to watch whatever your wife wants tonight. I am pulling for a romcom.

Do you really want to play the "Marinelli at NCAAs" game?

And yet Jaggers treated him like one

There have been five wrestlers who made the final every year as either the #1 or #2 seed AND faced either the #2 or #1 seed. Name the Fab Five.

Gallick was the #6 seed in 2009 when he got felled by pin. Kellan Russell was the #1 seed.

Your flattery has earned another hint. As a third place finisher this wrestler did half his damage on the front side with wins over #8 and #1, and half his damage on the back side with wins over #5 and #2.

So vapid it just may work

Nobody Hassles the Rig. The problem with Carlton was he was the #1 seed two of his three years. And while we have all heard the cliché "he beat himself", Carlton clearly never did.

Sugar Shane indeed. Doublehalf for the Double Win. After taking out #1 Alex Marinelli in the 2021 quarters, Griffith famously went on to take out the shortsighted decision of Stanford's administrators with an epic victory to save a program. He followed that up in 2022 with a victory over #1 Evan Wick in the 2022 semis and again in 2024 with a third place match victory over #1 Mekhi Lewis.

Great choice. We are half way there. Perry beat #1 Troy Letters in the 2005 semis before falling to Johnny Hendricks in the final. But he avenged that lose two years later by taking out #1 Hendricks in the 2007 final. His third victory over a #1 seed came the next year when he beat Eric Tannenbaum in the final. Joseph took out the same #1 (Martinez) two years in a row in the final. Sadly he was denied the chance for a third in 2020 when he was the #2 seed. Lets call him an honorary member of the group (after all Marinelli was the #1 seed. I'm not sayin'. I'm just sayin'.)

ChatGPT is insanely good at clichés.

Nickerson (Simmons, Donahoe) and Schultz (DeAna, Banach) each have two. Leen only has one (Gillespie). And surprisingly, Meredith has zero, though he does have a pair of wins over #2 seeds.

touché

Good guess on Wright, but he had "only" two wins over #1 seeds (Honeycutt, Kilgore) to go with three wins over #2 seeds. And surprisingly Jaggers had a single win over a #1 seed (Mendes)

Only two wrestlers have beaten three #1 seeds in their career. Name them.

"but hopefully he will wait until the drugs wear off" It is amazing she can maintain her sense of humor through such difficult times. Ben is a lucky man.

that is huge

He is oh fer two on his jokes. Needs to leave it to Funny Fletcher.
