Love hot takes
Here are my predictions for NCAA champions this year by weight:
125: Spencer Lee (booooring)
133: Daton Fix (and wins hodge)
141: Casey Swiderski
149: Yianni Diakomihalis
157: Quincy Monday
165: Shane Griffith
174: Carter Starocci
184: Aaron Brooks
197: Nino Bonaccorsi
285: Greg Kerkvliet
I think you guys are right but think Esposito would be a great choice as head coach for some program. As a Blair guy, it could make sense for him leading an Ivy or the type of school Blair kids typically gravitate towards
Brooks had so much grace in the way he behaved after the upset loss. Did not storm away like a frustrated child. He gave congratulations to his opponent, shook his hand and walked off the mat with all composure and no attitude. Similar to the story told about how Yianni acted after losing to Gomez. Brooks is a high character guy and is my favorite Nittany Lion
I once lived above a Pakistani restaurant in London that had been built after the land had been parceled and our address was 2-4 Gateforth Street (there was already a 2 and a 4, so they gave us both with a hyphen). We got our mail sometimes

Could it be something as petty as - this tournament is being put on by Journeyman, affiliated with Popolizio, the interconference rival of Scott? Scott gets to hit Pop in the wallet. I have no idea.
