yes, in 2016. Ironically only three wrestlers have won a 125 title since the last time PSU won a 125 title, but everyone thinks they cannot figure out that weight. It is just that they are like the field at the weight. No one talks about 141, but until Nick Lee, PSU had never had a champ at 141.

And he averaged 0.26 matches annually over the 91 year history of the tournament

You mis-spelled Nico Megaludis.

Careful. You may get pulled into the landmark lawsuit Dan v. The World.

I think he was making fun of the original question by reversing the premise to show the absurdity

Ultimately, we are all day-today

Eierman's knee injury cost him in his quest for 32. He only got 28 in his 5 years.

30 Boom

That looks like what I think you are describing. There were four championship pigtails, one for each group of 8, that led to four consolation pigtails.

You get a Gold Star

Examine the phrase legal tax dodging.

Well, now, that depends. Do you still think your Target gift card is currency?

You can sell it (usually for a stablecoin which you can then convert to dollars).

You must be compressing other peoples' statements with mine. I have no such rhetoric. I have repeatedly stated why crypto can work, and some of the pro-crypto arguments, while in no way endorsing crypto. There is a lot about crypto that I find very interesting, but there is also so much crap. It is a heavy lift to seperate the wheat from the chaffe. But instead of doing the work most people get FOMO fever, which has a bad habit of burning people. I have found your take to be reasonable. You essentially say it may not work for everyone, but it works for me. Then there is the Askren take. He basically espouses the "get long and get loud" philosophy. I view this as a viable, if irresponsible and very cycical, strategy for crypto.

Added your scores for clarity. With ASU missing Teemer, Missouri has to be favored in 6 of 10, so yeah.

Dude, is that you out there?

What a wild take given the original case for crypto involved freedom from regulation. Alas crypto is just re-learning all things that have already been learned in traditional finance, but doing it at hyper-speed.

That would be mighty impressive. Unless he is a 32/33 seed he gets no pigtails to fatten up the total with.

Nice pull with John Fisher. I have him at 29 matches (8,7,8,6)

Nor did I take it as a criticism. I always appreciate your historical knowledge.

Just looked at Earl McCready because I knew he wrestled a very small number of matches to win his three titles. He dethrones Ross Flood with 9.571 per match. Having scored 67 points in only 7 matches (yep 2 matches in 1928, 3 matches in 1929, and 2 matches in 1930).

And Ross Flood shall lead them all. When it comes to scoring team points at the NCAA tournament Ross Flood average a cool 7.2 per match (combined placement, advancement and bonus). Looking at points scored per match using today's match scoring rules really favors earlier generations as 6 of the top 10 (and all of the top 5) started their careers prior to 1956. Part of the problem with this method is that it assume 16 points for first place even when the bracket is 16, or 8 or 3 wrestlers (yes, there are 3 wrestler brackets). But under today's tournament rules, if you only award to four places, for example, a win is only worth 10. Another caveat is that I have only done this calc for the top 32 per tournament scorers so far, as it is very tedious to gather the wrestler by wrestler data. If I get bored again, I will do some more.

It is wild that he did that without wrestling a pigtail. Nice.
