Two quick notes from me:
157 has the toughest Top 4. Keller - Ohio and Saldate - UofM (former Sparty 157lber) up top and Fish - OSU (former Sparty 165lber) and Lovett - CMU down below.
I hope to see Fish/Saldate in the finals.
Bottom side of 165 has the Michigander in me giddy:
Gilcher - Indiana (Detroit Catholic Central)
Nivison - Michigan State (Davison)
Swiderski - Central Michigan (Dundee)
Too bad Purdue didn't senx Buell (Dundee) as well.
I hope we see the Swiderski-Nivison winner take on Gilcher in the Semi-finals. Swiderski and Nivison haven't shown the level of progression that Gilcher has (yet), so I am also hoping that they not only make it to he match against one another, but also to Gilcher in the semi-finals.
Oh, I got another one:
"What TF is wrong with you?!"
They say 'TF' too because they're hip and then he responds with actual honesty like 'Well it all started in the fourth grade when I quit growing...'
B1G was made when it was 'only' eleven (11) schools.
After they expanded to 14 schools they pushed it again. I have a few shirts from B1Gs in 2015 that has B1G on them.
I am pretty upset right.
I ran out of Rum.
It isn't that I didn't have twelve gallons of it, but that twelve gallons was gone by 2:00 AM this morning.
I switched to Redline and Red Label, but I am out and want more Rum.
So I am upset.
Oklahoma has a new coach (last year, I know), so their scheduling changing can be expected.
Illinois is going to Journeyman this year, so if some do go, I expect it to be a light squad.
It may be an outside of the Top 10 matchup, but he started the year 15W-2L and then faded. If he can put together an entire season, he will likely be seeded to place Top 8.
Wrestlestat's list seems meager compared to years past:

Missing are Oklahoma, Illinois, and Ohio State, who have been mainstays for years (iirc).
He has Senior level aspirations. I would hope all guys who have senior level aspirations align themselves closest as they can to the weight they end up going. I don't see him at 74 KG. I see him at 86 KG, so 184lbs or 197lbs. Being as he looks... dinky... at 197lbs, that means 184lbs.
