To be honest I haven’t done the math I just feel like Iowa has more risk, I have a bad feeling about Teemer especially. But I’ll do it now, and admittedly I’m not a pro at estimating scores by placement: Cruz R16 - 2 Ayala 3rd - 17 141 0 Parco 3rd - 17 Teemer semi slide to 6th - 10 Caliendo 2nd - 20 174 8th - 6 Arnold R12 - 4 Buchanan 2nd - 20 Kueter 8th - 6 Total 102 Spratley 3rd - 16 133 1-2 - 1 Jamison R12 - 4 Young R16 - 2 Fish R12 - 4 Amine 5th - 10 Hamiti 2nd (beats a not 100% O’Toole) - 21 Plott 3rd - 16 Surber 7th - 8 Hendrickson 3rd - 21 Total 103

I think he’s going to be really good. But I also think (and thought) that he needs to transfer if he wants to start before he’s like a senior

I don’t think Trump is Hitler. I voted for him

Tell me you’ve never worked a corporate job without telling me you’ve never worked a corporate job. Almost every meeting has people in them that aren’t needed.

It’s a whataboutism. You haven’t shown that leftists claimed Hunter Biden was needed in the meetings and are instead trying to change the subject

Did Hunter get an Executive order about a Department he was in charge of? https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/establishing-and-implementing-the-presidents-department-of-government-efficiency/

Huh?

Slo mo

Rankers have generally always ignored injury defaults. l know seeds aren’t rankings but again, with no defined criteria here there is nothing stopping the coaches from using that same reasoning.

Austin DeSanto against RBY?

Well I specifically said to penalize Teemer for missing the dual against Miller, so I am being consistent. Keep in mind H2H is only one consideration, and again with no defined criteria there is nothing saying it needs to be the most important consideration. Primarily it can be used when the 2 guys being compared have similar resumes (generally if they’re not comparable the better guy will have won the H2H except in the case of sitting out). If you look at the matches Teemer missed, other than Miller the only other guy with an argument over him when looking at the rest of their resumes is Taylor, and yes I probably would put Taylor above Teemer. Last night was the first B10 dual Kasak missed, and the balance of Cannon’s resume (if he’s their starter) doesn’t give him an argument over Kasak IMO. And I wouldn’t even necessarily give Blaze credit for a “win” against Miller, I’d just keep that in consideration when looking at the total resume. If I had a vote, here is how I’d vote for the top 4: 1. Kasak (undefeated except for the injury default, placed 3rd at 149 and beat Teemer this year who was last year’s finalist) 2. Miller (undefeated, Teemer didn’t show) 3. Taylor (only B10 loss is to Kasak, beat Askey, Teemer didn’t show) 4. Teemer (returning finalist, beat Askey) So in reality this probably still works out for Miller with Kasak and Teemer on the same side. 5 & 6 is probably the biggest tossup to me. Blaze’s only loss to a B10 opponent is to Miller, and Askey’s only B10 losses are to Taylor and Teemer. An interesting tidbit with these 2 is that Askey lost to Jared Hill of Wyoming, and Blaze MFF’d to Hill. If Blaze had beat Hill that’d probably give him clear criteria over Askey IMO. At first glance it seems the only dual remaining with major implications for this weight is Nebraska/Purdue but not sure if I missed any.

I guess I was more counting this year and last. 20 is more than I thought, but still below average for a typical HS senior

Cael disagrees

@Scouts Honor claimed leftists said he was needed. No, Hunter was not helping run the White House. edit: lol at comparing “sitting in on meetings” to being in charge of a department tasked with cutting federal spending. Besides, I’m pretty sure most leftists (of which I am not one) were not a fan of his

Where in those links does it say that leftists (not the Biden team) said he “was needed in those meetings”?

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?
