The Berge brothers from Minnesota wrestled for a total of 4 schools: Broc, Iowa and Minnesota; Brady, Penn State; Bennett, SDSU. Casey Flaherty wrestled for the Gophers and his younger twin brothers wrestled for the Badgers (Ryan and Kelly, I wanna say).

wrong thread

On top of the other issues, smoothcomp refers to the consolation brackets as "repechage". I thought here in 'Merica we call them wrestle-backs or consolations.

It seemed odd to me that Michigan wouldn't at least have had a conversation with a top ranked 215 commit about what weight he would go in college, before going after a top ranked Hwt.

NDSU just sending three: 125 Tanimoto, 141 Olson, 174 Magayna.

From his tweeter: Rocco1Welsh @rocco_welsh · 18m The Ohio State University is home. I’m staying home. Go bucks.

125

Unranked Tayshaun Glover, NDSU over Christian Carroll, ISU 8-5.

The intent of the headgear throw penalty is to stop people from whipping it into the crowd or spiking it in a disrespectful way. This kid obviously just tossed it underhand toward the edge of the mat, so the penalty is not called for. With that said, why even put it in the hands of the (biased) ref for a chance to make a judgement call?

His graphic lists him as 149/157. Looks like a 149 to me. They have 4 guys in '25 class that are all number 1 or close to it at their weight, that are all middle weights,,,Vega 141/149, Robideau 149/157, Routledge 157, Lockett 165/174. Plus, Guerrero around there and now Wolbert. Forrest and Bassett just visited, but even if they go somewhere else, someone pretty good is going to be left out.

Stole this reference from FRL.

It should be noted that Starocci got a team point deducted for the head smush at the end of the 3rd. Don't see the point of that when you just won 15-1.

Seeing Haines and Rogers wrestle seems weird. They had to be about 4 weight classes apart in high school.

The Cougar Clash is definitely trying to cash in on the dangerous women theme.

Devasting quarters for SDSU as Berge, DeVos, and Glacier all get upset.

Carrol over Volker 10-9 was a fun match.

AJ and Las Vegas is probably never a good idea.

Stewart now 0-3.

125 Ventresca (5) 133 Knox (3) 141 Titus (7) 149 Alvarez (10) 157 Saldate (9) 165 Garvin (4) 174 Hamiti (2) 184 Keckeisen (1) 197 Novak (8) Hwt Mullen (6) DH: 165 Stoney Buell

Can you do a worse than 10 seed in place of a 1-10? For Ex: #11 instead of a #9 or #10.

This is very true. The fat drunk is usually more a case of gluttony, overindulgence, and lack of physical activity. The true alcoholics that I have seen in my lifetime rarely eat, at most once a day, and usually the same thing that they know their stomach can tolerate.

Probably not a great time to approach Coach Fickell about this. He can't be in a great mood rn.

Has Bob added a worker's compensation insurance program for the Hawkeyes?

Minnesota lost Spratley, Nagao, and Jamison in one offseason but filled in very well with Flynn, Wells, and Vombaur. 2 of the 3 which are currently ranked higher than the departed at their respective weights.

The Jackrabbits are known for peaking later in the year. I expect they'll be fine come tournament time.
