Either 2020 or 2021. Up until 2019 there were four criteria and three secondary criteria that could be used to separate finalists who had similar credentials (past credentials, sportsmanship/citizenship, heart). There were no criteria mentioned in 2020. In 2021 and after, only the four main criteria are mentioned. At the same time pins as a criteria was replaced with dominance/bonus-point percentage.

Wrestleknownothing replied to Jimmy Cinnabon's topic in College Wrestling

Trump Admin Shares War Plans w Journalist
Wrestleknownothing replied to red viking's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
And in the single most predictable move, Trump is standing by Waltz and claiming it is imperfect technology, ignoring that it is not approved technology for that very reason. And CIA Director Radcliffe when asked if this was a huge mistake replied with a one word answer, "No". To work for Trump, to be Trump, you must be genetically modified to have any sense of shame over telling bald-faced lies removed. -
Is This the Premier College Wrestling Forum?

Reminds me of a CEO I once worked for who would say, "the short answer is none of your business, the long answer is none of your fckng business" -
And Hamiti would need to be a write in. I feel like only an OSU fan would do that, and they would not do that because they are all voting for Pinfalldrickson.

Is This the Premier College Wrestling Forum?
Wrestleknownothing replied to Elevator's topic in College Wrestling
I like it best because it is the least echo chamber-y. The team specific pages are great, but are too narrowly focused for my taste. -
Only three finalists this year: Mitchell Mesenbrink, Carter Starocci, and Wyatt Hendrickson. Though write in candidates are allowed. https://www.win-magazine.com/2025/03/25/fanvote-2/ Let you voice be heard.

Trump Admin Shares War Plans w Journalist
Wrestleknownothing replied to red viking's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
Three things that politicians are great at, and Donald Trump is the best at, are lying, deflecting, and covering up. Sunshine is the best antiseptic. If he had simply reported to these guys that he was in the chat, they would have deleted him from the chat, kept using Signal exposing us to ongoing security risks, and then lied about it when he reported on it after the fact. He appears to have done exactly the right thing. They would have been chanting the Trump mantra "fake new, fake news, fake news" with a dead look in their eyes, had he handled it differently. This is why many companies, and maybe the government, hire white hack hackers, to uncover their vulnerabilities before they are exploited by bad actors. And the thing about bad actors is that they never expose, just exploit. By exposing the incompetence here, the reporter has done the right thing to prevent others from exploiting. Again he is owed a debt of gratitude. Not censorship. You are proposing censorship, which makes no sense to me given your prior proclamations that you were being censored and now it would stop. -
Trump Admin Shares War Plans w Journalist

I seem to recall you rejoicing over the new freedoms of speech under a Trump administration. Censoring journalist who expose serious incompetence is the worst form of denial of freedom of speech. This journalist did this country a great service by exposing this breech of protocols that could put the military at risk. If anything, he should be rewarded. Without his work these morons would keep breeching security protocols. -
I mean it in the sense that they are overstating the probabilities which leads to lower payouts. Based on historical seed performance PSU's expected champs was only 2.7. So the odds should have been longer.

PSU's Other Record Setting Performances
Wrestleknownothing replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
If you have 4 and zero you can not get to 5 with three. If you have three with zero you will be hard pressed to get to three in five. You are playing fast and loose by requiring five trips. There are a far greater number of wrestlers with five trips to the tournament who never sniff day 3. They all have zero wins on day 3. -
PSU's Other Record Setting Performances
Wrestleknownothing replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
No, it isn't remotely close to a record. Not even in very recent memory. Daton Fix has one win in 5 trips with none of them being titles. Justin Harty and Gerry Abas have four trips with zero wins. There are 15 more wrestlers with three trips and zero wins. And a boat load more with three trips and one win, none of which were in a championship match. Now stop pretending this is about your interest in numbers and records. We all know you have a problem with PSU fans who criticize Iowa coaches over injuries. -

An alternative interpretation is that Draft Kings pays less than true odds.

Best Attitude Award: Beau Bartlett
Wrestleknownothing replied to Jimmy Cinnabon's topic in College Wrestling
Lee had criteria due to a caution and 1 on Bartlett, but the caution was mistakenly put on Lee's score so the scoreboard was incorrect leading the ref to raise the wrong hand. When they realized the scoring error they corrected it. -

I don't know. Arnold comes to scrap. I think this one may have been good. -
PSU's Other Record Setting Performances
Wrestleknownothing replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
There certainly was no pearl clutching from me. Hell, I wrote a long diatribe about people on here not wanting to believe a wrestler was injured in a sport where 100% of athletes get injured. You should use someone who is inconsistent on this point to try and make your point. That is not me. -

Wrestleknownothing replied to red viking's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
Ignore the real issue and keep focusing on semantics. As long as you are focused on how words are used you might want to get up in arms about the Trump administration banning the use of words, calling for revoking the licenses of new organizations, and Trump calling for impeaching judges four days after he said any criticism of judges he appointed should be illegal. -
PSU's Other Record Setting Performances
Wrestleknownothing replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
Hold all tickets. Someone just pointed out to me that the second loss by medical forfeit in a tournament does not count on the wrestler's season record form. Thus Kerkvliet only had two losses this tournament, not three. And PSU's win percentage goes to 83.05% (49-10), putting them in second place all time behind the 2024 PSU team. PS: Kerkvliet cannot hear your complaints over all the noise his NCAA title is making. -

Nebraska Wins The Title That Really Matters
Wrestleknownothing replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
Just tough performances across the board. Paniro Johnson going out in the round of 16 as the 4 seed hurt the most. But with only 2 of 8 wrestlers outperforming their seed, they were doomed. Especially since one of the outperformers was a 30 seed who won two consolation matches and scored 2 points. -
