Learn to read. Did I say that? Ramirez tweaked an ankle prior to the ISU dual. It's not clear that Grey has ever held a healthy wrestler out because of seeding concerns.

Why would Cornell hold Ramirez out against O'Toole? Protecting his lower seed? What's the downside?

Cornell has or has had Little Rock, Pitt, Iowa State, Ohio State, VT, Lehigh, Missouri, and North Carolina as their tough opponents.

Depends on how you define "full participation". Swimming (complete with flip turns: talk about trust!). Cycling (tandem bikes as stoker). Road running (with a sighted pacer).

So, double failure on Vito's part (five matches, last one on 12/18). If he wrestles three matches this weekend, he'll then qualify. How often do they do these?

What's the apparent rule that causes them to leave Arujau out of the 133 rankings?

When did Fix become a coach or a program?

Oh, please.

Add 165 to the mayhem. #11 Hall over #3 Olejnik, #12 Fish over #5 Amine.

Knee brace on left leg (not Iowa sized, thankfully). Looks solid. Good to see.

I'm sitting here watching via the app on my iPad. Iowa/Nebraska is not on B1G+, sorry.

Subject says it: B1G+. Streaming is free. About to watch the tOSU/Illinois match on my iPad (and the Lehigh/Binghamton on my PC).

ACCNetwork on ESPN+ (need a TV provider).

"Winter [Sports] Weather advisory", they say. Lots of wrestling and other things going on.

I take it back. After Sotelo (Harvard) just beat Noto, anyone can win this title this year.

Why would you guess that?

More than whom? Shapiro has been wrestling collegiately for two years now (he's 25-2 over those two years), and he trains with two NCAA *champions* every day in a pretty darned good room.

Mrs. Diakomihalis: three kids ranging from 125 through 149 all the way up to 190.

And so it happened.

Israelite? What, did we go back in time 3,000 years? Are there any Grecians in this tournament as well? Kosovians?

I'm guessing Lewis Fernandes will be doing just that.

I'm a good bit older than you (Class of 1980). I lived with a bunch of engineers, and they were pretty dedicated to becoming engineers. I do recall one guy who dropped out of school (and eventually returned), but he was a mess to begin with. My gf at the time was pretty exceptional (SAT > 1500, when that actually meant something!), and she managed. Likely pretty rare, I guess. I don't think I knew any ex-engineering students, but I didn't ask, and I was engineer-adjacent (CS). I applied to schools with architecture programs (Cornell, Rice, Carnegie Mellon), but once I saw what the School of Architorture demanded, I committed to computer science. There was a guy i knew in my class who was on the wrestling team and graduated with a degree in landscape architecture. One of my senior year housemates was a co-captain and got into medical school. What a work ethic these guys had.

My daughter, class of 2020, makes 100k. Ironically, she graduated from Lehigh. All athletes must meet minimum requirements to be admitted to any university; there is no "pass through." The minimum requirements may be lower for athletes than for the general population, but the same is likely true for the gifted violinist or physics applicant. I cannot recall any Cornell wrestler who had to drop out due to academic ineligibility. It is in the university's best interest that all admitted students can thrive in the academic environment.

No idea who this guy is, other than he was on Real Housewives of NJ (according to article). Storms onto the mat while ref is counting back points against his son (who was pinned).
