Ooooh someone just wants me to quintuple down on the gamesmanship coming out of Happy Valley. Well fine. I can keep going. At this rate I’ll exponential down on myself more times than Katie Ledecky has world medals.

Everyone always complains about the equipment of wrestling being a barrier of entry to the sport, but swimming is going to pull in 3x viewership on a number of aggregated live streams with half the clothes. Are you listening USAW? Peacock + Youtube + CNBC + NBC + USA Swimming Network. You know what I don't see? FloSwimming.

Hopefully they know if NLWC plans to sign up for Senior Nats because they ain't registered yet!

If you're going to throw out a cool term like Psych Sheet then it better have me ready to run through a brick wall. There is a reason we call it The Blood Round....

Either Hendrickson is hurt or Kerk finally took The Leap. We will find out in a few days.

Uh oh Schultzy is protecting his seed again. Very concerned for Hendrickson/Davison. While Davison is definitely a 15-25% to make NCAA finals type, if Hendrickson is as banged up as we all think then he is going to have a not-so-fun weekend and he may not even make it to the finals. And if he is healthier than we think then what does that say about Kerk? Curious to see how Bastida performs with a full slate of dancing bears. Historically, and especially recently, successful undersized heavies are prolific offensive machines and that is certainly not how anyone would categorize Bastida. But I also would not be surprised to see him run through the bracket. He will be a bad matchup throughout the course of the season and that theme begins this weekend.

In 5 short weeks there will be more Ferraris than Ferentz on the Iowa campus. Strange times.

This Bears game is going to be death by a thousand paper cuts. Should my nightcap be my favorite scotch or my current favorite bourbon?

Now I'm quadrupling down on how correct I am. This includes: We landed on the moon. Jury is still out whether there are Decepticons hiding on the dark side of the moon and Pink Floyd didn't give any guidance in that department. And while Kubrick had some masterpieces, he also had some real stinkers. No way he would have filmed as well as what we got. J6 they should all face criminal charges with actual consequences and that includes The Hamberdler but nothing will happen to him because that's the way the world really works. America was much closer to ripping apart that day than many seem to be able to acknowledge. Also, Hawley is a pussy. I really want to take his stupid fist and make him start hitting himself in the face with it until he cries uncle. 9/11 was awful. But like they say, dank memes melt steel beams. What do Pete Carroll and Aaron Rodgers know that they aren't telling the rest of us? See, I'm not a knucklehead. I'm always right, even if I need to be updated on occasion.

Cox is already in - anyone who made a world or olympic team 2018-2023 is qualified. I do know this to be factually correct.

That's it now I'm tripling down.

After my Keuter prediction I am henceforth doubling down on all bad takes. No way I could ever be wrong.

So you didn’t read that other important part about those already qualified? Or you just wanted to be a knucklehead?

No persons who have qualified for Olympic Trials are allowed to enter this tournament.

I haven't watched my DVR yet did Brands, Assad, Cassioppi, or Keuter wrestle?

Nothing more than a friend of a friend’s uncle’s brother’s dentist’s tarot card reader’s rumor. I don’t believe it, but the person who brought it up is not one to typically fall for dumb stuff. Thus the “all the salt in the Appalachian Mountains” requirement.

Ummm Keuter is in play supposedly. Take that with a mountain range of salt.

Hoffman's travels across weights have certainly been something. I hope he can successfuly hold 184 without going on a Barry Davis bender in February.

Which non-participant receives more air time: Ben Keuter or Moriah Marinelli?

Spencer was absolutely getting flashbacks to 'Nam when Mega stepped over the half

Looks like our worst fears from a month ago were confirmed last night and Hendrickson's U23 title came at a very significant cost. He will most likely end his career as a 2x AA with no titles. Barring a Steveson comeback, Kerk will be untouched this year. If he is going to pursue a serious WCAP career then he needs to get out of his own way and pursue surgery + recovery. This sucks so much. He has been one of, if not the, best technician in all of college wrestling with a flair for sticking everyone and a red-hot prospect making an immediate impact on the senior circuit. Where were you when he nearly broke the world bronze medalist's ribs on a gut ride from hell?
