That was no slam by Waters. He was just along for the ride. It's a great 2 point move in freestyle. mspart

PSU at seed 40% seems low but that's because they have been winning so often. But if a #1 wins, he did not exceed his seed so there's that. They have had a lot of #1 seeds. Okie State does not surprise me, they constantly underperform which is something I have been saying for years. MINN is a surprise. I think they usually underperform but they are one of the higher performers. Very interesting chart. Thanks for taking the time. mspart

Bono needs to work the wrestler, not the ref. That is uncalled for behavior. mspart

Are the brackets 32 man with a few pigtails? It seems like that has been the case. mspart

This I believe. Kolat really got it handed to him the years he was our rep. Matches taken away that he had won. Horrible. mspart

Yep, illegal. The kid landed on his head and Gomez landed on his head. mspart

MN does this in a way. They have the regular individual tournament and at the same time the top 8 teams duke it out in dual format for the team state title. So those that stay alive in the individual tourney may have double duty if their team is still going. mspart

I would like to see PSU go down this year, but I don't think that will happen. Give someone else a shot says I. mspart

9 hours of wrestling!!! Could it be 4 hours of wrestling and 5 hours of leaning? mspart

Teams 1 Oregon State, 123.5 2 Stanford, 113.5 3 Cal Poly, 112.0 4 Arizona State, 110.5 5 Little Rock, 82.0 6 CSU Bakersfield, 58.0 This is a surprising result to me. I did not think OSU would win, but they did quite well. They had 5 Pac-12 champions which is much better than I had thought. Pendleton must be doing something right there. Hopefully those that go to NCAAs from OSU wrestle above their seeds drastically. I would love to see that. And look at that!! Little Rock did better than CSU Bakersfield. Who woulda thunk? mspart

This is a fact, except for the 9 Olympics. But rules changed in 1998, 1999, and 2000 due to how Kolat got screwed. The best wrestler to never win gold. mspart

That was Kolat's signature move. He scored offensive points off of that like crazy. Give them the leg, counter with the gumby knee, an go behind and get the takedown. mspart

That's saying something!! mspart

Kyle Snyder used to do a chest wrap to stall out a TD attempt. Then he got caught by Sadulaev in a Jr High move and was pinned in the WC finals. I don't think he does the chest wrap anymore. Granted, there is no much penalty in international wrestling for doing this kind of thing. The just start you over. mspart

If wrestler A attacks and wrestler B defends by going to the ankles. OK If wrestler A attacks and wrestler B defends by going to the ankles a second time. OK If wrestler A attacks and wrestler B defends by going to the ankles for a third time, then wrestler B is stalling. Its a matter of repetition. If wrestler B doesn't create any offense but is constantly attacked, then wrestler B is stalling. If wrestler B uses an ankle to counter a TD attempt and win the takedown himself, that is a different matter. mspart

Final Team Scores Missouri 148.0. OK State 134.0. Iowa St. 131.0. Oklahoma 97.5. N. Dakota State 89.0. S. Dakota State 86.5. N. Iowa 73.0. Air Force 64.5. Mizzou did well. OK state needs to do so work to get back to form. mspart

Looks like Nickal won by submission. Good for him.

Agree. mspart

Snyder gold again. mspart

2023 Big Ten Wrestling Championships team scores Penn State, 147 Iowa, 134.5 Nebraska, 104.5 Ohio State, 99 Michigan, 84.5 Minnesota, 79 Northwestern, 78.5 Wisconsin, 55.5 Purdue, 47 Illinois, 46.5 Rutgers, 32 Indiana, 30 Michigan State, 28 Maryland, 24 It was close between top two. But not close enough for Iowa. Looks like PSU has NCAA's locked up, if all stay healthy. mspart

Looking at the brackets, PSU has 4 #1's and one #2 so I'm thinking they have the edge here. Sorry for the previous post. Will be interesting to see who wrestles above their seed in this tourney. mspart

Based on the seedings, has there been a prediction of what team is the B1G champion? It may have already been posted, I just havent seen it or don't remember it. mspart

I hate running. I could play soccer though. Running just to run is not fun in my opinion. mspart

Thanks Mike. mspart

It is tough to know, but they had to be training partners sometime along the line at NLWC. Taylor was in the room for sure. Taylor for sure ran into a mammoth man called Burroughs and then ran into Cox. But then he grew into the weight and owns it. Taylor is a much different looking person than when in college. He had a late growth spurt and put on lbs of muscle. Tough to say what about then. But Taylor hands down now. He has found his niche. mspart
