Their nonconference was primarily tomato cans except Iowa State and OkSt. Their only tournament was the F-150 Salute Your Shorts where NINETEEN Hawkeyes made it to the quarters, the runner-up was perrenial wrestling powerhouse Army, and the most exciting moment was a varsity starter pinning his backup in 30 seconds and telling his coaches that he deserved it. So yeah, weak out of conference schedule + middling B1G results = appropriate seeding where they don't get the benefit of the Hawkeye doubt

But how does one counter his old-man strength?

Yeah it's definitely not a hill worth dying on. Hopefully Hendrickson shows up this year and puts the haters to bed by finally getting that AA medal.

CKLV is a demonstrably stronger field than the Iowa F-150 Salute Your Shorts tournament

May I introduce you to the Western Duck from John James Audobon's "Birds of America"

But not as robust as Cassioppi. Please don't make me defend Iowa... the fact that they outrecruit Poeta and I have to defend the IL guys makes me sick to my stomach. Schuyler (8), Davison 2x (9), Hilger (11), Orndorff (16), Doucet (20), McDermott (24), and Goldin (27).

Because I prefer rewarding competitors who wrestle a tough schedule rather than punish them. But it's a nitpick over a single seed and the bigger theme is better record vs. better wrestler. Luckily this is why they wrestle the tournament - the results will speak for themselves!

Who from Iowa got the shaft? They got very fair seeds and every bracket seed-feed works the same way. If they don't like the tough draws they could have... won more and lost less? The only Iowa seed I disagree with is Cassioppi should have been the 3 ahead of Hendrickson and behind Kerkvliet but either way he should make the semis based on his 2022-23 resume compared to his opponents 2022-23 resumes.

Second best wrestler punished for losing to the best wrestler. I'm a huge Hendrickson stan but wtf he does NOT deserve a top 3 seed with that joke of an Air Force schedule. This is why coaches skip matches and don't put their wrestlers' records at risk.

4 hours of wrestling, 5 hours of getting back to the center after ref calls stalemate on double ankle passes on the edge of the mat

Submitting my question for the next mailbag now: will you spit this fire in the opening paragraph? Set up my wrestling screens, call it a Jaggerbomb

How do I watch individual mats, the Octobox, and upcoming assignments? Just like last year, you need an ESPN+ subscription. You may already have this if you have a Disney/Hulu bundle, or you may have it separately. I don't know if I have ESPN+ / How do I get a subscription? Click this link here Is it easy to cancel? Yes. Unlike some companies that support wrestling, ESPN+ is very easy to cancel after your three day nattys bonanza. How much does it cost? As cheap as $9.99 for a one-month subscription. You can also choose from the a la carte for an annual package or build custom bundles with Disney+ and Hulu What can I watch ESPN+ on? Smart TVs and smart sticks like Roku and Amazon. You can also watch from your computer. Can I watch on multiple devices? Yes! Last year I had 4 big screens and a laptop. My setup would make Jagger jealous.

My wife knew that I have been a participant or attended nationals since I was 10 or 11 years old. Needless to say, I will not be in attendance for the fourth consecutive year

lol i am up at 0500 and in bed by 2100 so yes i am unfortunately very sure. If anyone would like a toddler and a global team they can gladly take both off my hands

I'm out. Not enough time during financials season if I want to see my family

@BobDole can we get an official @Husker_Du write-up/FAQ and pin it for the next ten days?

I highly doubt it since ESPN has expanded to multiple devices and all mats. But hopefully we are pleasantly surprised this year!

Might want to do a free consult with all the local divorce attorneys now so they have a conflict of interest and can't be used as your wife's representation on 3/20 (the first business day after NCAAs)

I don't know if underrated is the correct term since he was a 4 seed last year but Ed Scott has 7 losses this year and didn't qualify frosh year. Don't be surprised if you see Ed Scott on Saturday night competing with Lee for the Gorarrian

Reminds me of another Minnesota 133 that no one wants to go under at nattys...

Jagger fanboi confirmed

ESPN and UFC have a nice fat partner$hip and therefore Cormier is essentially an ESPN employee via his contractual obligations to event attendance. It doesn't hurt that Cormier is a great ambassador to both sports from a PR perspective. So agreed he is not the best color commentator, but it's reasonable to understand why he was there. And he was at least better than some of the past years. Rock & Robles though plz
