Prophylactic for what? Not covid

Who did I say “not” to penalize for missing an event? To be clear, I’m more saying an injury default should neither be penalized nor rewarded

Hasn’t he barely competed in like 2 years? To me it seemed like combo of a tough cut primarily with some nerves

I’d probably pick OSU to get 2nd at this point IMO

The B10 has no defined seeding criteria, so they don’t “have to” do anything

You don’t think it’d be a concern if the guy in charge of our military is an alcoholic? If you think there’s greater than about a 10% chance that what Hegseth was drinking wasn’t alcohol, then I sincerely hope you weren’t among the folks that claimed Paul Pelosi was drinking “a cocktail” when he was attacked…

Getting 2nd place is no guarantee. If Ferrari beats Plott, the difference between he and Arnold could be the difference between 2nd and 3rd (or worse) - which is ironic since using Arnold last year would have got them higher than 5th and maybe as high as 2nd

1. Not many of them comment on Twitter about it 2. I know, but they are a factor in seedings If someone argues “Miller showed up against Kasak, it’s not his fault Kasak didn’t finish the match,” then I’d counter that by saying Miller did not show up against Blaze in the dual, so he could certainly be penalized for that. Miller should absolutely be seeded ahead of Teemer though since he showed up to that dual and Teemer didn’t.

But isn’t it just saying the tournament needs to be on the schedule by 9/1? So if Dresser just plans for a Last Chance Open every year he’d be fine?

I guess PSU is hoping Sealey joins the list of guys like Carter Starocci and Mark Hall who both lost their first dual appearance (+ Vincenzo Joseph who lost his second)

Link?

Well this definitely water. And Trump wasn’t an admitted alcoholic

That may change to singular after this season

@Wrestleknownothing ? I know it’s not uncommon to see comments in the mainstream making fun of speedos, so I would assume so. And as someone like most people that never watches swimming outside of the Olympics, I feel like for men it has been more common in recent years in swimming at least for guys to do the longer shorts as opposed to the bikini bottoms or whatever the official name is. Divers seem to stick to the bikini bottoms though IIRC.

Ivermectin is a great medicine for people too to treat parasites. Just not Covid or cancer.

Yikes

Gabe better hope Ferrari doesn’t beat Plott

Conference tournaments still have value IMO. The suggestion of making conference seeding (instead of NCAA qualification) based on the team’s record at the weight would probably accomplish nearly the same thing without needing to get rid of the conference tournament. Maybe a separate topic and I know it won’t happen but I kinda feel like the conference tournaments should have a more similar number of teams. Maybe something like: Disband the PAC 12 for wrestling. They only have 4 teams with only Oregon State as an actual member of the Pac 12. I know on FRL they talked about having an exemption for this year but has anything been announced for next season? I know it doesn’t really make sense from a geography standpoint but if you put the 4 current B12 teams into the Socin that’s 11. B10: 14 teams B12: 14 teams EIWA: 12 teams MAC: 12 teams (not counting Cleveland State RIP) Ivy + ACC: 13 teams (probably the least likely with Ivy just pulling out of EIWA) Then back to my earlier point have every team dual every other team in the conference instead of regular season tournaments.

lol I don’t hate this. He still took him down easy and didn’t do anything extravagant after the match was over.

Posted this in a different thread but clearly Clemsen has been thinking about seedings Worth noting that among the items listed on the voting sheets: -Miller is currently ranked as the 4th highest 157 in the B10 by both Flo and Intermat, both of which still have Kasak as #1 -Miller went 1-2 at NCAA’s last year in the same bracket where Kasak took 3rd -Miller placed 4th at B10’s last year in the same bracket where Kasak took 3rd (Kasak won by pinfall) I’m sure they won’t do it, but considering there is no official seeding criteria (as Clemsen says himself!), IMO there is valid reason for Kasak to still be the 1 seed at B10’s. Flo and intermat aren’t counting the injury default in their rankings, why do B10 coaches need to?

I said to keep tournaments for backups and redshirts. It was 100% a duck by Clemsen. You think it’s just a coincidence he was replying to Willie talking about B10 seeding criteria? If Miller is the 1, he could have both Kasak and Teemer on the other side. If he loses to Blaze, he probably drops down to like the 5 seed. Making the finals at B10’s (which if I had to bet, he won’t anyway) vs getting 4th or 5th likely makes a decent difference in NCAA seeding. Plus no loss last night helps his winning % - I think that should go away as an NCAA seeding criteria

A result from a tournament 3 months ago that was probably attended by like 100 people that weren’t family of the wrestlers is the reason Maryland sat an undefeated wrestler in a dual tonight between 2 top 30 teams. No one wants to watch wrestling outside of NCAA’s for 8 hours or whatever. Midlands and Scuffle are shells of what they were, and the Paycom duals will likely water down CKLV. And even within the tournaments we often see guys MFF out. Keep opens for redshirts and backups, but starters should do more duals instead. Maybe more dual tournaments if teams want guys getting used to several matches a day. Duals are how we get fans more interested. All teams should dual every team in their conference (and teams in small conferences can do more out of conference). We also should probably implement @Husker_Du‘s idea of making seeding for conference tournaments based on whoever the team sends out for that weight

“Only” 3 of Ramos’s techs are against B10 opponents, with 2 of those being rated over #100 by wrestlestat and the other from Northwestern.
