Well shoot, Iowa has already matched my score prediction. Was counting on the upset from Davis for the team point deduction from Brands

He might be closer than @Mr. PeanutButter

There’s zero chance PSU/Starocci didn’t think this might happen

Maybe on the descent to 174?

I doubt this unless there are actual injuries. Brands is going to want to keep the score as close as possible

Winning %

I mean I doubt he demanded it, but maybe suggested it and Gabe was on board. It could explain why it didn’t seem very sincere. He’ll have his shot at Starocci later anyway

I mean it might’ve been Brands’ idea for Arnold to make the callout knowing all along it was going to be Ferrari. The funny part is that Starocci saw right through it

Bucknell seems to think that was Phipps’ 100th

It does make the most sense to save Arnold the loss though

I’m kinda thinking it was Brands’ idea

Wow!

Do we have any posters in attendance?

Are we keeping this as the match thread?

Fernandes was one of the most dominant wrestlers in NJ history too. Unfortunate that he only had the chance to wrestle in 2 NCAA tournaments. Maybe Iowa will pull him out of retirement in 4 years for a stopgap after Kueter, he still has 1 year (maybe 2 depending on the leniency of medical years) of eligibility.

This seems a bit premature. Of course Fix still has some prime years left to see if he improves on the international scene.

People should be allowed to say whatever they want. But saying hateful things certainly shouldn’t be encouraged, so there may be consequences for things you say. The issue as it relates to the title of this thread is that posts like these can now earn people money (although in this particular case it looks to have been community noted which may demonetize it. Apparently the article screenshotted was from 2012).

I don’t know if we know this. Maybe they go after Burroughs or Dake or something

Totally agree that’s why the ranking is wrong. But I was also alluding to Cannon as well, he should not be ranked either

So do you think Trump was wrong to want to ban trans folks from serving in the military?

Block doesn’t have any signature wins, but while on the surface some of his losses look bad (especially if going by wrestlestat ratings), if you dig in they’re really not. He’s lost to #1, #16, then Zach Redding and Aden Valencia. Redding has been a backup the past 2 years, this season he’s 1-2 with his losses being to #7 Koderhandt and Aden Valencia, but even last year as a backup he had a win over the current #17 at 149. Block and Redding are Valencia’s only 2 wins, but his only 2 losses are to #5 Happel and #11 Lemley. So TBH, on the “eye test,” there’a a good chance Block probably is around the 20-25th best guy. He just hasn’t earned it yet

Saw this come up on social media: Man these guys have really went in opposite directions since then. Kasak is 25-3 since, beat Rathjen 8-1 at Big Tens, finished 3rd at NCAA’s and is 12-0 this season. Rathjen is 11-6 since (11-7 counting a MFFL), went 1-2 at NCAA’s and is not a starter this season

I think only @red viking is blaming him which I agree is dumb. Others are just calling out that Trump criticized DEI in his remarks. Here is the crew chief of the helicopter btw (RIP)

Hate just out in the open now
