I know a few people who knowingly pronounce their name incorrectly for the ease of those around them - which is sort of interesting. Anyway 184 in a clash of styles - Rogotzke always going for a big move and Ruth seems to be incentivized based on sudden victory wins only.

I've heard others pronounce it with silent K. ChatGPT begs to differ. I personally have no clue.

e'Than Birden over 10 ranked Braeden Scoles by decision

He doesn't seem very duck-like in terms of his attitude. I would have to think he was hurt.

Buckeyes send out Birdman at 165 - I was expecting Hepner. He has two quick takedowns against the formidable RS Freshman Scoles.!

Yes the other chap seems to be a bit younger. He can learn a lot from his partner!

Heck of a ride that Kraisser was putting on Gallagher. And before that, D'Emilio with the close but decisive victory over Webster

Youssif Hemida got third place at BIGs in 2019. Jaxon Smith got third in 2023. Jimmy Sheptock won the ACC's but his senior year was before they moved to the Big 10.

Brian Swaw on the horn - he's a very knowledgable announcer - and also the father of an Illinois wrestler Logan Swaw who is on redshirt this year (although wrestlestat doesn't yet reflect it)

did it start at 125? any surprising match results?

Greyson Clark takes down Chris Cannon 13-9

Out of frustration from holiday tournaments, I actually canceled BTN+ but the subscription is still valid for a few more days and I get to watch tonight's dual. 125: Brendan McCrone major Caelen Riley 4-0 133: Lucas Byrd dec Nik Bouzakis 4-3 141: Jesses Mendez dec Danny Pucino 7-3 149: Kannon Webster dec Dylan D'Emilio 7-6 157: Paddy Gallagher dec Jason Kraisser 10-6 165: Braeden Scoles dec Bryce Hepner 10-9 174: Carson Kharchla dec Dan Braunagel 13-9 184: Edmond Ruth dec Ryder Rogotzke 13-12 197: Zack Braunagel dec Seth Shumate 13-15 285: Nick Feldman dec Luke Luffman 16-15 Buckeyes

I only saw this little replay, but it offers some context at least:

actually guys out for the year: 125: Jore Volk, Noah Surtin, Nico Provo 133: Dylan Ragusin, Aaron Nagao 141: Casey Swiderski 149: Ty Watters, Alek Martin 157: Cael Swenson 165: Matthew Olguin, Connor Euton 174: None (knock on wood) 184: Tomas Brooker 197: Rocky Elam, Martin Cosgrove 285: Nathan Taylor

I'm sticking with my preseason selection of Lucas Byrd, but Romney has been incredible once again. He was under the radar good last year as well.

What a whirlwind! I'm glad it isn't true.

Listed as someone on WS.

But what were you doing on his lawn? That's his property.

we have the exact same preference in wrestlers it seems.
