Wow what an awesome comeback by Haines! I don’t like that the ref called that pin so quick for him, but I do think the ref was right that Haines was not pinned in the first. Just not good that the ref wasn’t consistent. Either way Haines deserved the win. He is fun to watch. He is going to be PSUs next Nolf/Nickal type of guy and be a bonus point machine the next few years

Good list. Gotta add Griffith vs Carr though… former NCAA champs meeting in quarterfinals doesn’t happen too often! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anybody know what the difference between the ESPN+ coverage and the ESPNU coverage will be for quarter finals? Will ESPNU cover all 4 quarters or do they pick 1 or two?
-
His arm was trapped and he lifted him and planted him right on the trapped arm side. I have never seen that not called a slam before
-
Why did ISU not challenge that was clearly an illegal slam? That ties the match and he’s on bottom. Instead the other guy gets to pick bottom and go up 2-0
-
Wow! Finesilver 8 seed just lost at heavyweight
-
I think Ramirez #4 going down is the biggest one so far. 125 the number 6 & 7 both lost already
-
Gfeller and Pappas awesome match. Great scramble in OT
-
Gotcha. Btw I thoroughly appreciate all the data you provide. Not trying to discredit all your hard work at all. I just think that this particular data set is skewed a bit by Brooks somehow getting the 3 seed and Dean getting the 9 seed. I think Brooks is a clear #1 at his weight and IMO he’s the third mostly likely to win out of all the weights (behind Lee and Yianni). Dean deserved the 9 seed but he’s much more likely to win it all than your typical #9

I guess it depends what numbers you look at. In the last 5 championships, the schools combined avg. was 5 champs. They did have four one of those years but also had six one year. I’m not sure what formula you used to get PSUs expected champs at only 1.5, but I’d definitely take the over on that :)

What kind of tournament will it be?
Eagle26 replied to Wrestleknownothing's topic in College Wrestling
I’d guess similar to last year. 8 or 9 out of 10 champs from top two seeds (I’d say 9 or 10 if you include top 3 seeds), but a fair amount of upsets to make AA -
Brooks, Starocci, Haines… come on Jimmy there’s 3 on the team you are a “fan” of alone.
-
Not sure who but I’m guessing it happens at 197
-
That’s right. It didn’t matter back then that it was 330 qualifiers because the brackets weren’t all going to be nice and neat anyway. Then when they switched to the new formula, no one wanted to vote to get rid of an extra qualifier per weight even though it would make more sense to have an even 32 man bracket

Who will be the first #1 seed to fall?
Eagle26 replied to Jimmy Cinnabon's topic in College Wrestling
I’m rooting for Nino to win it all but he is the smart bet here. There are certainly other upsets that could happen and many good ones have been pointed out. However, if Nino would lose to Dean/Allred in the quarters, I don’t even think it would be considered an “upset” -
I’m sure they both had their hearts set on a national title. So knowing one of your sons is going to be heartbroken while the other son wins a national championship over him has to be tough. At least the younger bro has another year to get his title. If he wins it all next year, it will sting a lot less!

Yet another unflattering imahe of our kind
Eagle26 replied to jackwebster's topic in College Wrestling
What’s so bad about that photo? I have seen much worse. I never understood why newspapers had to use photos that had wrestlers in “awkward” positions -
https://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/article/2023-03-12/nathan-lackman-wins-diii-national-wrestling-title-ot-win-over-his-brother Nathan Lackman beat his younger brother Matt in overtime to win a D3 National Championship. Has this ever happened before at another level? I’m sure that’s an emotional roller coaster for their parents!
-
It is sad that this is true but it is true
-
In overtime… you left that part out.
-
Fair enough. I guess my expectations were pretty low. I would add that his state titles were at 106 and 113 so as you mentioned he is undersized.
-
Are those an A minus for Carter and Brooks or is it a regular A and a dash? I would have given them an A+, and I wouldn’t be quite so hard on Steen since he pretty much lived up to expectations. Otherwise a fair analysis
-
That is crazy that he wasn’t DQed for that!
-
I’ll take Truax if he is seeded that low… based on his coaches ranking he may be
-
if rby wins #3 is he the best 133 ever?
Eagle26 replied to Wrestlingfan2254's topic in College Wrestling
Probably closer to 141 lol. I get what your saying but my point was if the OP is limiting it to the 133 era, RBY has a case
