  1. That he is the backup for a reason, and as a backup wrestling a three time national champ who is also a two time Hodge winner wrestling with the ultimate home mat advantage, he did damn good.
  2. There are 5 visionaries on this board. Identify yourselves and take your victory laps. (Also so I know who not to sig bet against.)
  3. When I read the topic I thought you were exaggerating, but holy crap, its true.
  4. Flo had him #1 pre-season before Quincy Monday announced he was dropping down to 157, but then immediately dropped him to #2 after Monday announced. No one else (Intermat, Wrestlestat, WIN) has had him #1 at any point this season.
  5. What a dumb response to back up a dumb original post that was followed by an even dumber take.
  6. Then why didn't you? That was rhetorical. I already know the answer.
  7. My sentiments exactly. I am a former Flo subscriber who does not miss it.
  8. You absolutely should state your opinion as you are never a tool about it.
  9. At 11 I wanted Olympic gold. I don't remember prior to that. In 1972 when Mark Spitz took home 7 golds I was not swimming yet, though by the time I was swimming I certainly remembered the iconic poster. But watching Brian Goodell set the world record in the 1500 meter free in 1976 was what did it for me. I wanted to be Brian Goodell. I was not Brian Goodell.
  10. And if TNT does the ducking against ISU, does that make it Duck a l'Orange?
  11. 2018 had a couple strong ones. 125 - Four wrestlers who would go on to win 7 titles (with a shot at an 8th) in Spencer Lee(3, maybe 4), Nick Suriano (2), Nathan Tomasello (1), and Darian Cruz (1) 141 - Three wrestlers who would win 7 titles (with a shot at an 8th) with each taking multiple titles in Diakomihalis (3, maybe 4), Heil (2), and Lee (2).
  12. bump If you didn't vote earlier, vote. If you voted and have since changed your mind, what say you now?
  13. You are absolutely right, and shame on me as she was there when my kids were there. If we rank based on HS achievements I think the list looks very different. Chase (first woman in IL HS history to qualify for the state tournament), Cortez (one of only 13(?) four timers, with 3 at GN), Ramos (3 timer), Gomez (3 timer) (tied for 3rd?), Assad (2 timer).
  14. Until recently the only town in America named after a living person. Small world.
  15. From my kids' high school: 1.) Tony Ramos, 2.) Austin Gomez, 3.) Abe Assad, 4.) Jered Cortez
  16. @AuntAnnie I like to look at percentage of titles won rather than just count. There have been 22 wrestlers finish at 100% in the NCAA championships (3 for 3 in the non-freshman eligible eras, and 4 for 4 in the freshman eligible eras). Of those twenty-two, two took a lose in the year they won their final title: Wayne Martin was 11-1 in 1936 and Larry Hayes was 17-1 in 1961. So it is not without precedence.
  17. A tip: when copy/pasting a table from Excel or Word, it is best to paste into an empty Word doc using Paste Special>Picture(U) and then copy the picture from Word into this website.
  18. Apparently he transferred to Northern Iowa? Or I accidentally pasted in the UNI table. How is this?
