I am in favor of allowing repick for McGonagle and Millner

Updated to correct typo and for new 133 and 149 brackets. As a reminder: Group 1: 1-11 Group 2: 12-22 Group 3: 13-33

Fix hasn't been to one practice. He's been playing video games and hitting the go kart track

Hopefully Demas

This is quite sad for Millner. Am I correct in that he will be working for intermat after graduation?

When someone's father's name is Jon, they often call the kid Jon Jon. I knew a kid named John John Costello

You're right one typo there on my part. Bob's 15 minute rule really exposes the shoddy quality of my work

Also it appears the folks in Indiana do not stoop to the level of a non-Big-10 conference

As shown above, Illinois, on the basis of wrestler-defined home-state, is the only state which has produced a national qualifier for each and every conference this year.

Home-State ACC Big 10 Big 12 EIWA MAC Pac 10 SoCon Grand Total PA 12 10 4 14 6 46 IL 3 18 4 3 2 2 1 33 NJ 2 8 10 2 1 23 OH 2 6 5 4 4 1 22 NY 7 6 5 1 19 CA 4 2 1 1 9 17 MI 2 8 1 1 3 1 16 IA 1 5 9 15 OK 12 1 13 MO 1 2 7 1 1 12 MN 6 4 1 1 12 FL 1 2 4 1 1 9 CO 2 3 2 2 9 IN 7 7 GA 2 1 1 3 7 WI 3 3 6 VA 3 1 2 6 OR 1 1 3 5 MA 1 3 1 5 WV 1 2 1 4 UT 2 2 4 NC 1 1 2 4 WA 1 2 3 NE 1 1 1 3 MD 2 1 3 KS 2 1 3 AZ 2 1 3 AK 1 2 3 TX 1 1 2 CT 1 1 2 AL 1 1 2 TN 1 1 SD 1 1 SC 1 1 NM 1 1 NH 1 1 ND 1 1 MT 1 1 KY 1 1 ID 1 1 Cuba 1 1 Canada 1 1 Belarus 1 1 Grand Total 35 98 77 55 27 23 15 330

In particular I think Cesar Alvan is going to put Daniel Cardenas on his back in the first period

Good to know. Will edit my data. FYI @Wrestleknownothing (because I sent him the high school data previous)

Here are the high schools which have more than two national qualifiers in this year's tournament: Blair Academy Cannon, Chris Van Ness, Shayne Incontrera, Nick Miller, Ryan Colaiocco, Michael Ramirez, Julian Trephan, Owen St. Edward Kazimir, Matthew Andonian, Bryce Gallagher, Paddy Rini, Angelo Hart, Allan Bergen Catholic Cardenas, Jacob Griffith, Shane Zargo, Joseph Ferrante, Carmen Foca, Chris Wyoming Seminary Cooley, Austin Bartlett, Beau McNeil, Lachlan St. Paris Graham Moore, Mitch Jordan, Rocky Jordan, Tanner Montini Catholic Lewan, Will Woods, Real Ragusin, Dylan Marian Central Catholic Heller, Reece Heller, Holden Connell, Dylan Cathedral Prep Starocci, Carter Johnson, Paniro Crosby, Dorian

First graph here shows national qualifiers by home state, grouped into three seeding groups. Blue is seeds 1-11. Red is seeds 12-22. Yellow is seeds 23-33. These are the top 18 states in terms of total qualifiers so that the image doesn't get shrunk down too small.

Cael Nasdeo is a Millionaire (capital M)

If I had to choose a national champion that was only from SoCon or MAC, I guess it would be: 125: Caleb Smith 133: Brayden Palmer 141: McKenzie Bell 149: Jon Millner 157: Peter Pappas 165: Izzak Olejnik 174: Rocky Jordan 184: Will Feldkamp 197: Ethan Laird 285: Taye Ghadiali

Interesting idea

Looks like someone else heard the same rumor:

Great stat about Sanders

And for last year's group, Kizhan Clarke was a law student at UNC when he placed second overall. And then was memorably offered a job by Nick Lee's dad

Vak just messaged me and im afraid that all of the tournament money was held in an account at Silicon Valley Bank and we will not be able to get the money back. We can still play but it will be just for the honor of it. Also I noticed Vak got a lot of nice new clothes recently

covers most of the bases. Can't think of much else.
