Your schtick is just not that good.

@jajensen09 The fall continues. PSU's expected AAs is a mere 8.6. PSU's expected champions is a pedestrian 2.7 (or 4.95 if they wrestle to their norm). Their chances of 10 AAs is only 18.8% Sad times in the happy valley.

Crickets from Flo on this situation.

Kerkvliet avoids Steveson until the last possible moment

McEnelly v Keckeisen in the semis completes the round robin.

Brennan the #29 - for now

Mesenbrink v Barraclough in the semi should be tasty

Jacori Teemer 18. Yikes.

I can never understand when people post a story that refutes their claim, then say it supports their claim. Were you hoping I would just accept your statement and not read the story? The first sentence is "Inflation is still running hot, little surprise to consumers feeling the sting in everyday purchases." Come on, art.

Doesn't it feel like a failing of whoever handles rules interpretation for Little Rock? There are still a bunch of people on this, and other message boards, who get confused about the free year. I constantly see people listing a wrestlers years and putting "free COVID year" for whatever the last year in the list is. They miss the subtlety that only the 2020-2021 season was the free COVID year. I could easily imagine a scenario where an admin at the school misinterpreted that too. As for the conference, I can imagine they trust the individual schools to get the rules right. If they had to audit every decision made by the schools then they would need a huge enforcement staff of their own. But why replicate that task, and absorb that duplicate cost? Instead, rely on educating the existing staffs at the schools. And since every other staff at every other school appears to have gotten this right, I do not think blame should be at the conference level. Just my guess.

I saw that call a number of times at B1G.

Amen. I am here for the entertainment value.

If you aint with him, your agin him.

Hardy is one slot above Bartlett in the NCAA RPI, and one slot below in the WrestleStat RPI. Basically an identical strength of schedule. Ditto for quality wins. Using slightly imperfect data (current CR) Hardy pips Bartlett by 0.5 (25.5 to 25)

There is a posting limit?

You saying others have blinders on for a specific team is your funniest bit of performance art.

huh? he beat two former champions on a bum knee last year. I am all for your wishcasting, but at least get your facts straight. And how did he do against the elite guys in his weight this year? I will answer my own question. 2-0 against #2 and #3.

I keep forgetting this back story. Thank you for the reminder.

Starocci wasn't a lock last year either. It turned out OK for PSU.

He likes to wishcast. So be it. Not my style, but it makes him happy.

Not a favorite team, but I was just thinking this morning how much I enjoy Nebraska's Brock Hardy and Ridge Lovett.

Ahh. Now I get it. Probably right. I have occassionally forgotten to apply that filter and then wonder why the results look off.
