Boring

How about 11 hours and 40 minutes? https://www.olympics.com/en/news/longest-olympic-wrestling-match-record

Yeah, I watched it on ESPN+, but posted it here because the OP was having a hard time finding it. It's amazing how fast this type content is bootlegged onto youtube, which I think is awesome because I don't have B10 Network and thanks to youtube I can still watch all the duals. If you watch a lot of those bootleg videos, at the dual end the video usually switches to an Asian or Arabic looking person staring at the camera! ESPN+ offers a lot of wrestling content, there's usually B12, EIWA, and other conference wrestling on there, but it costs $10 a month.

Don't underestimate the power of wrestling forums. I remember reading stuff on a forum a couple years ago that OSU should replace John Smith with David Taylor, and poof, it happened.

Sounds like Wisconsin needs to bring in a guy who can actually develop talent since he won't be getting the top-shelf guys.

190s are generally much better wrestlers than HWTs. They have nearly as much power, and a whole lot more stamina and speed than heavies. The danger is getting trapped under one, but the 190s are so much faster they can usually get out pretty easily. I know when I was a 190 that I enjoyed wrestling the fat boys, they were easy sauce. Hard to pin, but easy to score lots of point on. Here's something to think about, the next time you watch a dual meet ask yourself how the 190s would do against the HWTs in that dual. Then you have the HWTs that can actually wrestle, like Steveson, Kerk, and Hendricksen. I'd take a hard pass on wrestling those dudes, lol. I remember one of ISU's HWT champs, a small heavy, placed at Sr nationals at 97kg (or something like 97kg).

There's no chance he doesn't qualify, crazy as that sounds. If he finishes 3rd he'll still get an at-large bid. That's almost mandatory for an NCAA champion, I'd think.

Not unless ASU big money opens the purse strings.

It's kind of blurry, but I found this OU/ASU dual on youtube. You have to fast forward a few minutes, it's a pretty amateurishly presented video.

The shocking thing is he never managed to win another title after his FR year.

I'm thinking some sort of steroid induced fungal rot in his nether regions.

I don't know about live streaming with ASU, but I just watched their match with OU on ESPN+. If you are an ASU fan it's probably better not to watch, OU is a mediocre team (at best) and they smoked ASU pretty badly. Oh yeah, Cohlton Schultz has never improved as a college wrestler and has actually regressed a fair amount.

His vagina hurts.

I figured Ferrari would puss out.

Maybe Kennedy needs the rest.

At this point he should be the #1 ranked guy and presuming he's unbeaten going in to NCAAs, he should be #1.

Bartlett should be the #1 seed. He is unbeaten and beat the #1 guy. Alirez might win the whole bag of marbles but he's wrestled a pretty soft schedule.

The first 16 should be seeded and then the other wrestlers should be randomly bracketed against the top 16 seeds. Why double the process of seeding, especially on minutiae between lower-ranked guys?

I thought I did? Multiple times?

Steveson is close to being a 100% lock. I think Hendrickson has the technique to hang with Gable and keep it to a decision, but he also has the potential to pin people. I don't care how good somebody is if a good pinner somehow gets them on their backs they can lose, and that includes Steveson. It's like a puncher's chance in boxing, except we'll call it a pinner's chance. I'd give Hendrickson a 5-10% chance based on that, and only that. I think it's Steveson/Kerk in the NCAA finals, and Hendrickson finishes 3rd again. The battle between #2/#3 seeds at NCAAs at HWT should be a really good one between Kerk/Hendrickson though.

Pffft. Carl obviously can't judge wrestlers!!!

You can see the seeds in ALL those brackets, actually. They didn't seed all the way through 16th back then.

He looked like a guy who needs to transfer to a D2 or D3 school to me.

Super lame.

He looked like a total zero out there. He didn't even generate the threat of an offense and got ridden like a donkey on Lent. He didn't look like a typical PSU wrestler to me, usually even guys off their bench give a decent performance.

Interesting. Give me your take, if you don't mind. I have at least 5 Hawkeyes making AA, with another 3 with a strong shot (Kennedy, Keuter, Arnold). With OSU I've got 4 "lock" AAs (Amine, Hamiti, Plott, Hendrickson) with 3 "maybes" (R12/low AA) Surber, Spratley, Jamison, and 2 other possible R16/low AA types (Young, Fish). I have zero faith in Witcraft and think he'll totally fade by the end. I don't think any of OSU's guys will make it to the finals, but even if they do I don't think they win any NCAA titles. I think Ayala wins the NCAA title this year at 133. I think Iowa will have finalists or 3rd placers at 149, 165, and 197 pounds. I think Iowa will finish well ahead of OSU at NCAAs, provided OSU doesn't overperform.
