Got too drunk, sorry ja. There was no reason to talk like that.

Not sure exactly what you’re trying to do with this statement. First it’s not true and uhhh yes…recruiting is important in college athletics?

13 years now. 13 years! Or is it 14? The dominance creates a little cloudiness. Over a never was. My man you are the definition of insanity.

Can we get an update on your dipshitedness mentality? Is Nebraska within 90 points on a Friday night? Any finalists? You took some insane psychoanalytic behavior regarding Nebraska inferiority to PSU in your 125-149 micro-analyzation to diminish Penn State’s dominance, hopefully that made you feel better. You look like a fool. Go watch basketball

O’Toole barely made it back to the center, shocking. People said he had a limitless gas tank and it would be no factor against Mesenbrink.

They have four guys in the blood round. If that numerator’s the same, they might be able to do it. They’ll still need at least a couple of those guys to get to the consi semis though. They’re decent favorites in all their semi matchups tonight.

Nebraska has ONE win this round, ZERO bonus points last night. ja fooled me again.

My wife cannot understand why I took these two days off from teaching to watch wrestling. She got especially upset when I said the kid still needs to go to the babysitter. Hopefully things work out for me

The easy answer is Davis because of the parity there, he’s a true freshmen, and because 125 is the first weight. Another guy could go down in the same round, probably tonight if it happens. Doubt any will lose in the first round. But ya never know!

Where do you think they’ll end up? I’ve predicted mid 150’s, thought I was just slightly conservative. That was my predicated on CS healthy and winning, which is no given on either account. I’m not optimistic with Davis.

Winning?

Even if that chance was one out of one hundred? There's always risk, up to the individual. But statistically, that's a fantastic R/R opportunity. PSU -650 doesn't mirror that, that's what these guys above are talking about that and why the line's much greater now. Would have LOVED to catch it at -300.

You'd rather lose $25 than make $400? Interesting

Why you say that? A 99+% favorite at 6.5 to 1 seems like a fantastic R/R venture.

Hey Jimmy. Pretty reasonable. I wonder if CS loses that early and injury is a relatively big factor, if he’ll finish the tournament.

Oh wow. I thought it’d be less than 3.9% just between Smith, Van Dee, and Allred. Thank you sir

What is that likelihood based on how you assign probability to seeds? Leave Hutmacher off haha, my dog is more likely to turn into a dragon overnight than all nine happening.

No they don’t. I know you don’t like math/statistics, but the probability of that happening based on the current seeds is extremely low, I’m guessing less than 1%. But I’m learning, “all about the matchups”, isn’t it.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Not ready to call that yet, but I don’t think there’s anyone at 125 I’d shoe-in even to the quarterfinals. It’s a wild and wide open class. For Davis, I’d also be pleased with any placement/AA

Really hoping that doesn't happen. Think it'll be tough though for Lewan to make it through Saldate and Robb.

I hope they match up. Haven’t seen much at all of Shapiro, know he’s good but don’t know the style. I can’t handle another Lewan 1-1 OT match

Absolutely, that’s gonna be every year for a while. If Bartlett, Starroci, and Kerk all come back, that team could set the scoring record. No one competes with that. If none of them do…could open the door a bit. A lot would still have to go right for Iowa, a lot wrong for Penn State, and yeah people are saying that every offseason. But there’s a path that at least allows them to compete(within 10 in a dual, 25 at NCAA’s) that I don’t think’s incredibly unreasonable. I wonder what might unfold where Penn State will pursue any transfers this Spring, maybe 285 if Kerk leaves?

125 Stanich, Ramos 133 Fix, Crookham 141 Mendez, Mendez 149 Lovett, Parco 157 Haines, Haines 165 O’Toole, O’Toole 174 Lewis, Starocci 184 Keckeisen, Keckeisen 197 Brooks, Brooks 285 Bastida, Kerkvliet

I actually think if a few things fall into place for Iowa(Glazier, Brands, a transfer or two) and Starrocci and Kerk don’t come back, Iowa will be competitive with Penn State next year. I’d chalk this one up to circumstance and lessons learned. They’d be the clear number two if their gamblers made better decisions.

Wish Mesenbrink was at 157, would LOVE to watch that match.
