    Was he gassing or injured? Looked like his ribs?

    Ayala is still my pick, but the month of March is like kryptonite to Iowa so I'm not holding my breath. Would love to see Barnett and Poulin make a run, too.

    Is Vespa still around? I have no idea what year he is. Davis needs the reps anyway!!!

    I don't know why UWW has the top seeds listed like that, but the "draw rank" lists are just the top seeds alphabetically by country. The top seeds appear to be correct if you look at the printable entry list: https://arena.uww.org/weight-category/1eebc07c-3a32-6bf0-8a63-dd02aceb3ba6 I assume Seabass isn't there (or is not allowed to compete) because he's already qualified for Paris from Worlds last year.

    JB is my heart pick too, but the climb is looking pretty steep. More interesting though will be the JB/Dake old guard vs. the KOT/Mes/Nolf new guard coming in. They've got a U23/Junior World champion and U20 champion gunning for the spot, and Nolf has been looking sharp lately. CarStar is always a threat, but he's a tweener and doesn't like weight cutting so I am skeptical of him at 74kg.

    Pretty tough season for Edinboro. Young team. I hope the young guys enjoy their experience at Rec Hall. Except for Jimenez, because he's getting SHUNKED

    ? She was pregnant in 2022 but didn't Adeline medal every year since 2020? Olympic silver in Tokyo, a World title, and a World bronze last year.
  8. CHROMEBIRD
    I say yes. It's Shunky time! Free the Shunk!! LFG!

    My guess is that it's handled on an individual school or program level. I don't think NCAA and conferences don't have any rules or monitoring anymore, just "guidance" on how to handle testing, isolation, etc. Hard to know for sure, but it sounded a little bit like Northwestern postponed their dual with Illinois last month because the team got hit with Covid and did a five day isolation. Some others thought it might have been ringworm, also plausible.

    I assume that was Cael's way of saying that a bunch of his starters have been sick with Covid

    Are there still any Peppelmans in college wrestling right now? I feel like there were so many of em.

    Someone made a good comment earlier that Mes is prone to getting sloppy at the end of the 1st and 2nd periods. He'll give up a late escape and it's not clear that he pays attention to RT. It's not a concern against most opponents because he pours on the points, but in tighter matches against top guys like Carr, KOT, Ramirez, etc. it could end up being the margin between a W and a L.
  14. CHROMEBIRD
    Yup.

    Dake-DT would be bigger if Taylor hadn't gotten stuck in the finals his RSFR year. Yeah yeah, Dake did it at four different weights but KOT prevailed in what was arguably the toughest weight class each year. But we're getting waaaay ahead of ourselves in this debate.

    I don't think seeding will make a huge difference to Kerk, but it would be nice to reward the Big XII winner for wrestling through a complete season.

    They don't juice at PSU, they cream.
  19. CHROMEBIRD
    Ah yeah, that's right. I remember complaining about it for an earlier qualifier, lol

    Errata: Dan Gable shoes (while he was a student at ISU in the timeline of this episode!), CK halo headgear, international cut singlet, locked hands, Giovanni Ribisi. True to life: no tech fall, wrestler fleeing the mat for a restart.

    After Thomas Gilman tried to fight the entire Okie State team, Chandler Rogers and a couple of the other OSU guys laughed it off at the post-dual presser and said Gilman wasn't a very bright guy
  22. CHROMEBIRD
    Do you think we'll see more of this next week? Top 2 qualify but I guess it defaulting out of finals could impact Paris seeding.
  23. CHROMEBIRD
    Are there any recent examples aside from Dake? There have always been "tweeners" in the international styles, but as it relates to weight classes the large discrepancy between the number of Olympic and World weights has only been around for a couple of cycles. But the best example that comes to mind of a wrestler getting the raw end of tweening is James Green. Steady World team member at 70kg but IIRC was a shell of himself when he had to suck down to 65.
  24. CHROMEBIRD
    Yeah, Brands previously said that GabeArn was hurt. Perhaps the other challenge was that Brands had him in mind as a 184 but Gabe's dad thought he'd be a better fit at 174
  25. CHROMEBIRD
    Something crazy always happens at OTT and we get an unexpected rep. Any bold predictions for a crazy result in 74-125kg? 74 will be exciting but I wonder who could unseat Snyder at 97.
