He looked pretty good at Worlds. It will be interesting to see him drop and hold the weight for a season. Goodale has no issues putting out the best guy for the team. If Nini is it, expect them to go with him by season's end.

I think Hughes will be at 141lbs. I think McComas is the backup to watch at 133lbs for OSU. In fact, if you ask McComas, the job (133lb starter) hasn't been earned by anybody yet and he firmly believes he will be the one to man the spot.

Cool. I am hoping we see Mizzou's Rath give it a go, if we can't see Mayfield and/or Conway in their two+ duals.

Who would have thought that you would consider that on a BBS? The gall!

You're welcome.

I thought it was weigh-ins is what counted. If they weigh-in twice, it counts twice?

Of note, the quarterfinal losers having to wrestle at 5:00 PM then 7:00 PM isn't fair. If you don't think you'll win it all, you should lose your first match on purpose and go for 5th. That extra two hours of recovery matters.

Don't you dare overestimate my culpability towards idiosyncratic tomfoolery.

Thank you for this. There are several duals that could be awesome and many that could be decimated by 2nd semester/pitch count wrestlers. Regardless, Arizona State-Michigan and Lehigh-Nebraska both should be awesome duals. Oklahoma State-Cornell is likely the one that looks the most different now than if it were in February. Interestingly enough, the Nebraska-Lehigh winner against the Arizona State-Michigan winner might be the most lopsided 2nd round dual.

Sounds like I would fit right in.

Honey Nut is GOAT.

Who pissed in your Cheerios and called it milk? Calm your tits, kindly - if you please.

So this isn't true wrestlebacks. The semi-final losers will wrestle for 3rd/4th. So if you don't make the semi-finals you are wrestling back for 5th, which is a substantially lower payout.

Not working for me. If you 'print screen' you can ctrl+v here. I just want to see the brackets.

I am more curious on the consolations. Are they done if they lose? That seems crappy.

Now: How do the brackets actually look for this?

The poetic justice is that Minny is seeded in the same quarter as tOSU, so there is that to look forward to.

Really curious what schools will field entire lineups that early. Cornell being down nearly half their starters is a bummer. Will Michigan and Iowa have their full line-ups? How many transfers are starting, total (first year)? How many of those need to wait until the 2nd Semester? Schools that could be without 'starters' to start the gate: Iowa - 125 Peterson, 141 Bailey, 157 Williams, 197 Endene Mizzou - 165 Mayfield, 197 Bates Illinois - 125 Moore, 149 Gioffre, 197 Lautt Little Rock - 149 Herman Northern Iowa - 149 Rathjen Cornell - 125 Diakomihalis, 133 Ungar, 141 Cornella, 149 Fernandez Oklahoma State - 133 Figueroa, 149 Swiderski, 174 Facundo, 184 Ryder NC State - 133 Redding, Brophy 197 Ohio State - 149 Stiles, 184 Fishback Virginia Tech - 157 Miller, 174 Desiante, 184 Bullock Minnesota - 125 Volk, 133 Cannon Wyoming - 125 Douglass, 133 Phelps, 285 Carroll Michigan - 125 Sotello, 149 McNeil, 285 Ghadiali Arizona State - 197 Hawkes, 285 Szuba Lehigh - ** Nebraska - 149 Lamer, 285 Ferrari Lehigh is the only one without a first year transfer in, FWIW. That said, until I see Crookham take the mat, I will always question it at an early season tournament.

Oh, it doesn't actually bother me. I am trying to stir the pot because the emojis are typically towards the same three or four folks.

- Zach Redding, 133, NC State (Iowa State) - Aaron Faison, 165, NC State - Don Cates, 184, NC State - Sonny Sasso, 197, VTech - Konnor Doucet, 285, Oklahoma State - Kelvin Griffin, 149, Lehigh - Hunter Catka, 285, Rutgers (VTech) - Hayden Walters, 197, Michigan - Brook Byers, 197, Stanford - Carter Schubert, 174, Oklahoma (Cal Baptist) - Brian Soldano, 184, Oklahoma (Rutgers) - Gavin Nelson, 197, Minnesota - Caleb Rathjen, 149, Northern Iowa (Iowa) - Cael Rahnavardi, 157, Northern Iowa - John Gunderson, 197, Northern Iowa These are just using the Top 15 from Wrestlestat. All of these guys were backups last season.

Make the bet fair for the sake of us rational folks. Rash has said 0x champ and 2x AA. What is your pick, TN? If neither are achieved, then perhaps both of you send 250 each to Brain's Bud Heavy Fund?

Only poop-emoji-ing stuff that they seem is asinine (which most of the time actually isn't), isn't keeping anybody in check.

Just s(h)itting along with her peers there, I see? Amongst like company?

I think against someone like Blaze, who might very well have the best defense of any 65 KG in the field, even with giving up size advantage, that Sujeet might get exposed - if he cannot utilize his size and length advantage. I am curious if Sujeet will have a speed advantage on Blaze, as well.

I was leaning 6.5, myself. If we're rounding to the nearest whole number, that makes it a Sevenhead... nearly an Eight-ball on principal.
