  1. I think 125 has potential if Cronin has a regression and if Glory gets hammered hard by the weight cut and/or shoulder problem Edit: I predict Caleb Smith and Killian Cardinale to lose early
  2. These are intriguing. I knew there was something special about you, peanut
  3. Hey, you're that guy that keeps getting banned on HR, right?
  4. Hell yeah. We should also consider a push out
  5. You really think this whole conversation is about Iowa? No one here is complaining about Iowa's seed, that has been established numerous times. You're usually sharper than this
  6. I once caught the #1 wrestler on his back, briefly, while maintaining a 4.0 gpa. Man, that was exhausting.
  7. They should be seeded even higher. And wrestlers in weaker conferences should be seeded even lower. There are nonsense seeds in every bracket because of a seeding formula that is overly complicated. Get rid of conference placement (and, possibly, win % too) and just seed based on a wrestler's record and his opponent's record.
  8. But how do we get Will Lewan to settle matches within regulation?
  9. I like both wrestlers a lot. Wish they could each win a natty. But, for chaos sake, give me Ham&Cheese
  10. Glad you brought that up. I was curious about it as well. Like our 103 punder from 2004 surmised, I initially thought the rumor may have concerned OSU, but who knows. Would love to be privy to the juicy deets. Has anyone come across anything on twitter or elsewhere that could pertain to this?
  11. He also won a match without "nuts"
  12. Although this particular Pastry thread is fixated on Iowa (to maximize the juice), my concerns are not with Iowa's seeds. They got what they earned. I think the seeding criteria is a little wonky though and unjustly rewards those with light schedules and punishes wrestlers with tougher schedules. Call it B1G (and Big 12 for that matter) bias if you want but once the dust settles I will bet my bottom doge coin that the result will be the same as it is every year: those that were gifted good seeds on account of wrestling in weaker conferences will fail to meet their seeds (relative to the competition) while good wrestlers from the tougher conferences rise to the top. Caleb Smith is not placing top 5 at 125 this year
  13. Favoring Glory is fine, I'm happy people are picking him because I think he's a live dog. But to call him a lock is a little much. I think you are not giving Cronin enough respect
  14. Show me a team that definitely had a tougher slate than Iowa. Don't mince my words, I'm not saying Iowa had the toughest schedule, but they weren't feeding on cans all year either
  15. Can you make your point clearer? I'm not following
  16. I would love for the Hawks to make trips out west. But I didn't have the Hawks in mind when I made my post. If anything, I was thinking of O'Toole and the reasonable discussion that took place about the possibility of him dropping down to the 3 or 4 seed. It makes absolute no sense in my mind that a dominant returning champ, who has only lost to the undefeated #1, should even face the possibility of being seeded at anything but #2
  17. It will probably come after the 1st round, when some team like OSUw is in the lead
  18. It's fine to be biased and stand behind your guy but calling Glory a "lock" is beyond idiotic.
  19. They're not the best seeds but they're ok. I wish they would do away with conference placement as a criteria. Or at least reduce its weight in the matrix. I do not understand why some goon who wrestles cans all year should be seeded higher than, let's say, a returning finalist who took a couple losses to the #1 guy (not referring to this year, just posing a hypothetical)
  20. Will the Brands or Manning take their clothes off once they're out of challenges in protest of a ref's call?
  21. I read online that he has had a number of injuries over the years that have set him back. It would fit with the observation that he has gotten worse each season
  22. A different verb could have been used here
  23. Huh, what does that mean? Are you saying there was exposed genitalia?
  24. Don't leave us hanging, brother. Spill the beans
