Mr. PeanutButter

I'm continually surprised at how many people watch podcasts, especially hour+ long ones. Podcast listening is something I do when I go for a ride, drive, or even rock climb. To each their own!

Carter. Don't expect him to lose but I wouldn't be shocked to see a very competitive match where Carter wins by 1-2 points but is essentially in control throughout. Maybe that doesn't count as a "Carvering"

Don't know if this fits his degree aspirations but Iowa and Michigan would be happy to use him. Penn state could maybe put him in the lineup and redshirt their talented freshmen. Rich get richer. That being said, it would be cool to see him at a school outside of the usual dominant ones. North Carolina with Koll is particularly a juicy proposition

What does anything you said have anything to do with anything?

That would leave us with 9 weights. I'm not necessarily opposed to the other changes but just wondering what is crazy about 200 and 215? (I didn't put a lot of thinking into the weight suggestions)

Franek wins 2-1 on locked hands

128 135 143 153 163 174 186 200 215 MaxUltraWeight I think adding an 11th weightclass is an interesting idea. But I also think overtime should include a round where strikes are allowed so maybe don't let me write the rules.

Hm. Okay let's go: Ayala, 3-0 Nagao, 3-3 Woods, 6-3 Kasak, 6-6 Franek, 9-6 Messenbrink, 9-9 Star, 13-9 Bernie, 16-9 Brooks, 19-9 Kerkvliet, 23-9

Totally sound logic but I really, really hope we don't get any ducks. If it were to happen, I can see either team sitting their 141 pounder. Bartlett has more of a reason to since he presumably has the 1 seed on lock but the chatter on line is that Woods has been sick and possibly dealing with a minor injury so I wouldn't be shocked if the Brands sit him to let him gel. Mind you, I'm not confident in the validity of this chatter. It could just be excuse making. One could also argue that Gabe not wrestling at 174 is a duck variant given his prior online comments.

If I were to lobotomize myself and go full homer, I'd pick a 5-5 split with decisions only and with 125, 141, 149, 157, and 165 going Iowa's way. Iowa gets the criteria win. More realistically, I think 3 wins would be good and 4 would be great. Iowa gives up bonus at heavyweight and most likely at 174 but I believe Glazier and Arnold (at 184) keep their losses to decisions.

As a hardcore Iowa fan: gd, that was painful. Good work, Michigan. Woods isn't going to make it to the NCAA finals. I am in pain (but not really)

I bet money on this meet. If things go par, I lose big

why is deagu all of a sudden in shape

I'm drunk

Carter still a little under the weather or Rogz tougher than we (I) thought? Rogz didn't get to his offense, but he stayed in the middle for the most part and actually took some ground in the 3rd

I forgot about the major. Maybe not much of an upset then? Foca has been inconsistent this year

Foca just lost to Ayzerov of Columbia

not the right thread but I thought it was noteworthy nonetheless: Foca just lost to Ayzerov of Columbia 4-0

I hate to say it, but Kasak is looking like a very promising true freshman, even up a weight

Yeah. I thought I would be a fan of calling more top stalling but the way it's been executed this year has been inconsistent to say the least.

It was very close. Like Jim Johnson I thought there could have been a break in the count. 125 was an absolute atrocity and I think that has evaporated all confidence in this ref

maybe it is home cooking

for sure. I was just kitten
