Dake/Taylor?

Ok but I don’t think scores like 2-0 (escape + RT) or 2-1 (2 escapes + RT) would necessarily be “rounding errors.” They’d be counted among your 2024 & 2025 data, but not 2022 & 2023.

Maybe. I’m still OK with the 3 pt TD though because I think it’s 3x harder to get than an escape.

Ah didn’t realize you only were counting NCAA matches, thank you. So are you saying this stat below actually captured matches where the winner scored more than 1 point?

I think the problem is that a lot of takedowns are scored on counters, so guys are afraid to take a bad shot then get countered and now you give up 3. In theory a way around that would be to award less points for a takedown that isn’t off your own shot, but not sure I want that, I think that’s venturing into the subjectivity of FS and the “who initiated the move” stuff which I don’t like.

I’m not sure how often it happened, but worth noting IMO that even prior to the 3 point takedown, someone could have won and scored more than 1 point without getting a takedown. Also can you confirm the total number of matches is comparable between 2022-2023 and 2024-2025? I can’t remember if more teams were still wrestling less matches in 2022 since it was the first year after the “free year.”

So does Lock Haven take redemption stories as coaches too?

I don’t recall the match…what’s the blueprint?

Lol

Just based on the stats (2-2-1-1 with 2 Hodges for Askren vs 3-1-1 for Pendleton), I think everyone would take Askren. The no redshirt consideration is interesting though.

Starocci won, but Pyles said he voted for Askren

So Ben really did promote a scam coin that was quickly rug pulled? I know he needs money, but he’s about the last guy I would have expected to do that. Seems odd. https://www.mmamania.com/2025/7/25/24474221/notorious-celebrity-cryptocoin-creator-was-behind-ben-askren-funky-rug-pull?utm_campaign=dhtwitter&utm_content=<media_url>&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

It seems to focus on scholarship counts. Not sure if that would apply to cutting teams completely

Requires preservation/expansion of scholarships for non-revenue sports? I like it for wrestling obviously, but that certainly doesn’t sound like a “meritocracy”

Did anyone say they paid it all though? He’s gotta be talking about someone, right?

Thank you @Husker_Du for explaining on the show that the contract was signed while you still thought there was a chance Cleveland State could come back.

They haven’t said they’re getting rid of HFCS, just that they’re adding a cane sugar version to “complement” the existing product line. And they already sell a cane sugar version in Mexico and for Passover anyway. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/coca-cola-confirms-cane-sugar-114507638.html

Did Paul ever say he “paid it all”?

I know he’s doing the “Boutboard” thing, not sure if it’s referring to that or something else

People saying he was hacked to post this? But then he made normal tweets after this

Do you have any of your own opinions or do you just regurgitate what you see on YouTube?

Has Martin dropped any more unhinged video rants recently?

I believe he had 1 loss each in his Junior and Senior years, 1 of those to Askren. His junior year he was 1 point against Askren away from bonusing his way through the NCAA tournament. His senior year he beat Askren 10-5 in the finals and only had 1 other non-bonus in the tournament. He didn’t beat him but Jake Herbert was in this bracket and took 3rd. His sophomore year he got a pin and a tech to make the quarters before losing to Brad Dillon. He had a 17 second pin the third place match, and the guy he lost to got 5th.

I dunno, I don’t see how you can put someone ahead of a guy they lost to like 6x or whatever it was. Pendleton was still a 2x champ, 1x 3rd also

Ah, hadn’t heard that, thanks. But it’s not just a singlet, Blades is part of HWC. https://hawkeyewrestlingclub.com/newsletter/may-2025/ Interesting that they don’t mind having pretty much their entire NCAA men‘s roster listed as part of HWC, but Blades appears to be the only woman to make the cut. Keep in mind the women’s team also includes World Medalist Kylie Welker and 2x World Medalist Macey Kilty.
