    https://uww.org/brightcove_video/19782 UWW recently posted all of Taylor/Yazdani as a single 53 minute video. The first two minutes of that first match Taylor looks like he has no business being on the mat with Yazdani. That changed.

    It was created by Jairus "Jay" Hammond who passed away in 2013. I think someone from Lehigh maintains it, but not sure who.

    I think Ruhlman is the starter

    Thanks, @lu_alum for posting these. One thing to note is that for pre-allocation purposes the magic date is Feb. 23. Matches after Feb. 23 are not taken into account for conference allocations, though they are taken into account for seeding purposes. One more thing to note is that the thresholds for the pre-allocation categories are not fixed. They can slide up or down in concert in order to achieve a desired range for pre-allocations per weight, with the max being 29.

    It is a fair question. I do not know the answer. But it seems like there is a clear trade off. To get better at wrestling you should wrestle. But wrestling wears the body down and can make you worse at wrestling. Getting that balance right is why the coaches get paid the big bucks (well, in some cases).

    No. They will have enough for 2 of 3 categories (coaches' poll, winning %) which is all you need to earn the conference an allocation.

    Didn't meet the minimum match requirement by Thursday, the voting deadline.

    Iowa's inability to hang on to the top spot at 125 is reflected in their inability to hang on to the projected second spot as Missouri returns to the position after a one month fall from grace. Meanwhile PSU extends their advantage to an expected 62 points. Still short of where the gap stood in the pre-season, but definitely going the wrong way for the field. PSU is getting dangerously close to doubling the second place total again.

    Good choice of words. There does seem to be a certain religious fervor here for calling everything a duck.

    Some big differences between Intermat's and Flo's 125 rankings this deep into the season. The biggest difference is Brandon Kaylor. Flo has him at 5, Intermat at 15. That big diff is probably caused by their second biggest diff. Flo has Troy Spratley at 11 while Intermat has him at 20. With Kaylor's pinfelling Spratley Sunday, Spratley's rank seems to be the pivot point for Kaylor.

    The power of the data compels me.

    You are not mis-remembering. Two coaches left him off. The story from the NCAA was that they were using an old list, or some such. There was someone else who was also affected, though I don't recal who. It really illustrated that the coaches do not place as high a priority about getting it right for other teams as they do for their own. Which is also an argument for you suggestion of using Intermat, Flo, etc.

    It has to be Michael Blockhus. Takes out #2 and #3 at the same time #1 looks vulnerable.

    It is a shame that the Republican primary is now down to Trump and the lady who was in charge of security at the capitol on Jan. 6.

    I am unsure about even an AA. I took a quick look at the #1 ranked wrestlers in D2 at each weight. They have very few matches against D1 comp, but even when they do the results are not great. They typically wrestle non-starters and typically do not win. Most of the wins come against guys ranked in the 100 to 300 range on wrestlestat. The one notable win I found was Ty McGeary, the West Liberty 184, with a 14-4 MD over Clarion's Cameron Pine, who is ranked 33 in D1.

    Define well. Is it beating a VMI, UTC, or similar? Or is it beating a mid-tier D1 school in a dual? Or is it scoring points at NCAAs (i.e. better than 0-2)? Or is it having an AA? Or some combination?
  23. Wrestleknownothing
    I forgive him.
  24. Wrestleknownothing
    Be sure to let him know

    You must be new around here. This is a @Jimmy Cinnabon specialty. He won't post in someone else's thread. He always has to start his own thread even when there is one that already exists.
