The problem with 125 is that if you take the Top 15-20, who I think we all agree have a rather high(~25%+) percentage chance to AA at 125 this year, and put them up at 133 then their window for AA gets a lot smaller. Yes Palmer beat Nagao, but he didn't beat him when it mattered. Yes Ramos beat Orine but, while the records are similar, the Orine of last year took a metaphorical leap from the year before (3 seed VS 15 seed). You take all these potential AA guys and bump them up to 133 and I have very little confidence any of them pull AA honors. If you give them this last offseason to 'bulk' in to 133 and I still wouldn't bet on any pulling AA honors off. Weight classes exist for a reason and they matter.

Yeah, I did not expect him to score any offensive points on Caliendo. Olguin might have won that match.

Finally! One thing that matters that we cane solely and wholeheartedly agree on!

My thinking aligns with yours, more or less. They would have to throw something ridiculous at Askren to have it make sense for him. He doesn't need the job. That said, once some of his AWA guys make it through college, he could start plucking them for his coaching staff.

I see what you are trying to say here. That said, someone else might see this as a bit of a contradictory statement.

He tries in every match.

If I thought it might happen I would. I don't think anybody is touching Stalrocci at 174lbs this season unless O'Toole bumps up. A 165lb O'Toole isn't beating a 174lb Stalrocci, though. Not sure if Mizzou will see Penn State this season.

The guy is the dirtiest wrestler we have seen in a very long time. He intentionally has tried, and succeeded, to hurt his opponents deliberately. Scratching, eye poking, oil checking, pinching, can openers, haymakers... it is a bad look on UNC wrestling, for me. He makes Desanto's attitude look mellow and Berger's deliberate headbutt on Zain seem mild.

I thought the stipulation was that for it to count there had to be a match after it?

Olguin went to the Roadrunner. What the actual ***duck**?

Guy has had a roller coaster collegiate career. I hope he heals up well and fast and has no issue(s) finishing his career up.

There is no L in Gabe, mate.

Ugh.

It may get loud if they lose to Michigan State, Northwestern, and Purdue. A loss to Iowa State isn't so bad. 42-0 looks it but it really isn't.

There is recent precedence in the B1G. Michigan and Michigan State both did it. Basically.

Also... I got two things right today... it's scary. I am buying a lotto ticket or twelve.

You gents know I always root for the B1G over the other conferences... but ouch! How did the Carr - Hamiti match look? 2-0, so I am assuming escape Carr and a rideout?

Fair points. I am often in the same boat with all of you. I also want (need) my laps. I am sorry for mistaking your remark as snide - that is my bad, mate.

You need a cookie or something. It is okay for folks to be right about something you were wrong about. I am wrong all the damn time. The ole 'broken clock, twice a day' bullshit. At the end of the day we are all fans. If you can't get over it and need some sort of moral win with a comment like this, that is a you thing. Handle it.

I think Howard defaulting out for 4th is more of a sign than Davis winning it in regards to the starting role.

I suppose RS could mean Redshirtting Frosh. Le Duke knows he is a true frosh.

At least he isn't a complete back of shit like Baylor Fernandez.

I actually thought that, too Like... damn... who let baby Dake out?
