No, it is a long list. -
First Round Seed Pairs
Wrestleknownothing replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
One more fun fact. The 16 seed is 35-25 against the 17 seed. Better than expected for a toss up match. In spite of earning the extra half to one advancement point, the 16 seed scores less than the 17. -
The 1993 Intermat Form Hodge Trophy Goes To....
Wrestleknownothing replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
Chad Zaputil (Iowa) was the #1 seed. He lost in the final to Henson. That was his third straight finals lose, once as the #3, once as the #2, once as the #1. Lou Rosselli (Edinboro) was the #2 seed. He lost in the semis to Henson. -

Trump Threatens to Tax Harvard as a Political Entity
Wrestleknownothing replied to red viking's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
Since when does the White House determine the tax status of entities? This is a pretty dumb debate about a very dumb concept. -

Indeed. Just like a Chinese businessman filled Trump's money void. -

I have two for you to mortgage everything and buy: $TRUMP : https://gettrumpmemes.com/#tokenomics $MELANIA : https://www.coinbase.com/price/melania-meme These are can't miss opportunities. This is in no way Trump taking advantage of the gullible, and stupid, or those looking to pay bribes. I did not mean to scare you though, you can still pay bribes, so don't worry about that. But if you want pay bribes, he has a different cryptocurrency for that. World Liberty Financial : https://www.worldlibertyfinancial.com/ Pro tip: If you are a Chinese businessman currently under investigation by the SEC and you want that investigation to stop, this is definitely the currency for you. Now you may note that the first two links are for COINBASE where you can buy and sell the coins, but the third link is not an exchange since you can only buy, and never sell, the third coin. If you are looking to sell, you have clearly missed the point, and this cryptocurrency is not for you. Who even let you in here?

I had this grand plan to fill in all the blanks for the Hodge Trophy from 1928 to 1994. I kinda dropped the ball after 1994, but thanks to a timely reminder from @11986 and @NotThatDave we are back with year two in the series. To review, 1994 saw Pat Smith run away with the Intermat Hodge Trophy. He collected a 53.57% of the votes. Runner-up, Lincoln McIlravy, has a third as many. As with 1994, I will list the ten (or in earlier years, more or less) individual weight champions as our finalists. Vote early, don't vote often, and let your keyboard be heard.

Thanks for the reminder. I was going to do this for all the years during the off season.

First Round Seed Pairs
Wrestleknownothing replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
There is a pigtail match where #32 wrestles #33 for the right to wrestle #1 in round 1. -
I started updating my expected scoring and expected AA data last night, and something popped out to me. Ever since we went to 33 seeds, the 16 seed is a severe underperformer. That got thinking about pairings because the 17 seed is also an outperformer. No other pair is as extreme but the 5 and the 13 seeds do struggle without the 28 or 20 seed seeing the benefit.

Gorriaran Award Winners
Wrestleknownothing replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
From the rules the year the award was created: Pin falls only shall count. And pin falls it shall be. -

That would make minnow the @Jimmy Cinnabon of twitter.

Gorriaran Award Winners

I got the spelling wrong more than a few times myself. I forced myself to type it out that many times as penance. -
Hodge Winners By Dominance
Wrestleknownothing replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
There were 9 undefeated wrestlers in the pre-freshman eligibility era. Four of them came before the war. Two spanned the war. And three were in the post-war era. Note: I include Gray Simons. While he wrestled NAIA his freshman year, and lost a match, he was only eligible for the NCAA tournament his final three years. -
Probably the most misspelled award in all of sports, the Gorriaran Award is named for Hall of Famer Manuel Gorriaran, who "is best known for his insistence on the fall as the ultimate goal of amateur wrestling, and for inaugurating an award given at tournaments everywhere, the Gorriaran Trophy for the wrestler scoring the most falls in the least total time." Check out his full NWHOF bio: https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/66 Wrestle, Wrestle Wrestle. Twist 'em Like a Pretzel. Iowa State leads all schools with 8 Gorriaran winners. Big Boys On Their Backs The heaviest of weights has been the most prone to the worst of endings. But the keen observer will note that the lion's share of those came from the absolute biggest of the big boys when the weight knew no bounds. So maybe things are different now? And indeed they are. While 285 still leads the way, 165 is close behind with just one fewer winner (6 vs 5). It is pretty wild that for the first 38 years of the award it was almost a 50/50 proposition that the pinfall leader was also the scale leader. Backside Backsides It is probably no surprise that the 3rd place winner is the most common source of Gorriaran glory given the extra matches. Love Me Two Times It is no surprise that the original pinfaller himself was also the first to win the award twice. But how about Nebraska's Gary Albright? He won as a true freshman, and then again as a redshirt senior. Most Gorriaran-est Say that ten times fast. Sorted by pinfalls, place and year.
