  1. Yeah, this was a hard post to read from the title on down.
  2. I would really like to see Indiana continue with their momentum. I am a fan of Angel Escobedo and want him to succeed.
  3. Sorry, I do not have any hometown, state, high school data on these guys. As far as I am concerned they do not exist prior to their freshman year.
  4. jinx. You owe me a coke.
  5. Oklahoma State beat Iowa 30-10 on 1/11/04 at CHA
  6. Are you sure that was your second thought?
  7. Who has the current longest losing streak on this board?
  8. As long as we are taking bits from other sites, this one is for you @Jimmy Cinnabon
  9. My bad. Yes, my link is specific to the Championships, not the OG Qualifier. I can only assume they will follow a similar procedure for the OG Qualifier as for the Championships, but I do not know for sure. Certainly it would be reasonable to assume that the USAW and the PAN-Am organizers have discussed this and know that the US has not yet determined its rep for the OG Qualifier.
  10. Yeah, that humble brag was a little much. Would have been better if he said "when Yianni and Mick called me for advice, I confirmed they would be wrestling"
  11. https://uww.org/article/pan-american-championships-2024-entries
  12. Entries can change up to three hours before the draw for the style.
  13. We did until he no showed when it was his turn to pay.
  14. I am just a guy who takes off his shoes and socks when he needs to count past 12. We need to work on getting you some better achievements.
  15. I am not on Twitter and I cannot find the lineup on the USA Wrestling website. Would you mind posting the link outside of the tweet?
  16. I have nearly the same list. Nearly in that I had Crooham, Haines, Lovett, and Woods as my four most likely, but in no particular order. Everything else was the same order.
  17. Thought you might like that number. And I wouldn't read too much into that four seed specifically as there have only been two of them. Kerkvliet was seeded fourth and finished fourth in 2022. Megaludis was seeded fourth and finished second in 2013.
  18. We have new rankings from Intermat. I am tingly all over. What about the ones who shall not be named? Will They? Won't They? The suspense is too much. Based on my expected points...They will not. Bummer (fantastic?) I know. My expected points are based on the average outcome by seed from 2010 to 2023. But we all know They are smarter than the average bear. So what does that look like? Well They tend to hit their seed just about spot on. I have shared these average finishes by seed before. Where others tend to miss their seed on average, They do not. So instead of using expected points for Them we could use points earned if the finish equals the seed, or in this case ranking. Based on that I have Them at 137 advancement and placement points. Normally expected bonus would give them another 24 points putting Them at 161 points. But this is not a normal year. This is the year of the THREEEEEEEE. Based on some highly questionable assumptions I think bonus points will go from 0.46 per match to 0.61 (+32.7%) this year. That gives Them an extra 7.8 points, but lets call it 8 because we have never been accused of being stingy. Now the total is 169. Oh, so close, but sorry, no. It will still take all four number ones winning it and some outperformance (or seed improvement between now and March) for Bartlett, Kasak, Mesenbrink, Truax, Nagao, and Davis (or any combination thereof). The Other Guys As for the race for second. Man has that one gotten interesting. In the pre-season the spread from second to tenth was 28 points. By then end of the year it widened to 34 points. A month later it is down to 15 points. If you tell me who is going to go on a heater in March, I will tell you who finishes second.
  19. Reminder: This Saturday is the Pan-Am Olympic Games Qualifier Wrestle-Off. On the men's freestyle side only Yianni Diakomihalis challenged Nick Lee for the 65kg slot at the Pan-Am OG Qualifier.
