You are saying that Shapiro *failed* a concussion protocol test during a match and they sent him back out there? Yeah, sure.

No. Nobody who doesn't pass the concussion protocol is sent back out. Just stop.

Fernandez over Vasquez at 149.

Ten. Only three are their expected second semester starters (Ungar, Fernandez, and Ruiz).

Do you have inside access to the registration list?

Only four of the ten expected second semester Cornell starters are at CKLV (Ungar, Saunders (in lieu of Cornella), Fernandez, and Ruiz).

So, CALS ("Ag School") has an admission rate between 11% and 15% (depending on calculation method), and Drexel has an admission rate of ~75%, and it is *Cornell* that is not elite? And CALS is ranked #1 or #2 in Agriculture schools in the US but is not elite? You do understand that, in any case, not all Cornell wrestlers are in CALS, right? Less than half whose school is listed on the roster right now. They have their share in the Engineering College (four), Arts & Sciences (seven), ILR (three), Business (three), Architecture (two), etc. There are a number of good reasons for people to go to CALS, but "not getting into Drexel" ain't one of them. I call BS on the Drexel story (although I can be convinced otherwise with actual evidence): anyone who can get accepted at Cornell (CALS or otherwise) can get accepted at Drexel.

The Lehigh wrestling schedule website also lists the Service Electric Network (which streams other Lehigh home wrestling matches).

No idea how Donnie can coach against his former charges. Ramirez and Foca aren't even enrolled this semester (not injured). Their depth at the missing starters' weights are "room guys." One replacement is wrestling up a weight class (which is odd).

If I were a betting man... They have Buffalo +40.5 vs Cornell. Cornell will not have four of its best starters: Shapiro, Ramirez, Foca, and Davis. Wrestlestat says 27-9 final. Interesting that Wrestlestat's projection with those starters was 39-0. Hmm...

Lord, I can no longer do simple arithmetic. Sigh... As of today's wrestlestat Tournament ranking: Cornell: 53.00 Other Ivy: 10.10 Lehigh: 35.80 Other EIWA: 15.00 What ranking are you looking at with your table wrt wrestlestat? Not that this really matters!

Looking at wrestlestat's tournament rankings, Lehigh would outscore the rest of the EIWA by a lot. (and Cornell would outscore Lehigh, the rest of the EIWA, and the Ivy League, combined)

Binghamton, Brown, Buffalo, Clarion, Cornell, Sacred Heart at Big Red Invitational 9:00 AM https://www.espn.com/espnplus/player/_/id/ffcd1e3c-9f65-4ec3-91fb-dd2f7807f09c (just got added to Cornell's schedule as ESPN+ for some reason!)

Cornell: hold my beer. Flo Intermat WSt 125: Greg D. 10 9 5 133: Ungar 18 20 16 141: Cornella 15 17 20 149: Fernandez 32 14 18 (!) 157: Shapiro 2 2 1 165: Ramirez 7 4 4 174: Ruiz 11 14 52 (really throws things off) 184: Foca 15 8 7 197: Mike D. 26 25 24 285: Davis NR NR NR 40 That sums to a HLD of 82, not counting the infinity for Davis, with only two guys (Shapiro and Ramirez) whose HLD is less than 5. Compare to 51 for tOSU, which has five guys whose HLD is less than 5.

No fear.

If he qualified as having had a concussion, by definition (and common sense) he would not have been allowed back on the mat. We don't know what protocols he passed by medical staff to allow him to attempt to continue.

I've watched every match Shapiro has wrestled since skipping his senior HS year (there may have been a couple that weren't streamed). I've never seen Shapiro "break" unless he was dropped on his head, and then it is pretty obvious there was an issue. It's clear that Shapiro passes whatever concussion protocol tests they administer during a match if he returns to the mat and attempts to finish the match. They wouldn't let him back if he didn't. In the match in question, he clearly wasn't being "pushed," having taken his opponent down twice with yet-to-be-described-in-the-literature TDs prior to attempting a throw that misfired. He won the U20 world tournament by coming back from behind twice (down 4-2 with < 1:00 to go in the 1/8, and down 4-0 in the final including getting a cut on his head needing a wrap), without being a drama queen. The idea that he would break and fold when getting taken down by a "lesser" opponent is, well, delusional.

You, sir, are delusional.

Shapiro gets a couple of bizarre TDs, gives up a TD, lands on head, eventually MFor. Gonna be a *really* long season...

Isn't this the case where the coaches get together and decide who wants to wrestle whom, and they put together the pools accordingly? Don't expect some of the top matches you want to see to actually occur.

Literally two posts above this (at the time of this writing) is a thread by SHP listing the events for this week; included in that list is the set of teams for this tournament.

Not often, because he is so quick that it is very difficult to get to his legs before he leaps out of the way.

As far as I can tell (thinking about it hours later), Vito dislocated his finger on the second TD going up 4-1. Normally he has two fingers taped, but this time he had three taped together. Really hurt. UWW med staff came out, Vito instructed them to remove the tape (to un-dislocate the finger), but the woman with the HUGE scissors apparently started cutting his finger by accident, because Vito freaked out and grabbed the scissors from her while attempting to take off the tape himself. Med staff was not happy (finger wag not happy). Vito yelled about them cutting him with the scissors. US med rep/coach came out, and they proceeded to pull off the tape. Camera panned out, Vito sat there while the coach...pulled his finger back into place. Immediate pain, but it sorta went away "quickly". Hastily wrapped the fingers again, Vito composed himself, and went out there and finished business. Tough dude.

So, instead of live streaming, they're showing old stuff? Nice!
