I am with you, especially when you throw in the cross country travel and late night start time for the east coast team. The 125 forfeit sucks tho.

Biggest threat to Messenbrink is food poising or some flesh eating disease that prevents him from taking the mat.

They have added: NC +1.5 v. Pitt ASU +17.5 v. ISU VT -17.5 v. Standford

FYI, for those who like to participate in gambling legally. DK has NCAA wrestling lines up for the week. Rider +7.5 v. Lock Haven Cleveland State +3.5 v. Edinboro West Virginia -5.5 v. Utah Valley Michigan+38.5 v. PSU Nebraska +6.5 v. Iowa Disappointing they don't have a line on the OSU/Minn dual. Is everyone for PSU going? If they drop 1 match it will be tough to cover that many points, Cardenas could beat Barr as well. It's tough to bet against PSU, but 38 seems like it may be too many.

It's okay if not every single top kid decides to go somewhere other than PSU.

It crazy how much attention Bo's decision is getting while OKSt could bookend it with Ross and Jax to about a fifth of the fanfare

In the last :30 seconds, sometimes I think refs feel obligated to hit the guy with the lead with a meaningless stalling call. It wouldn't surprise me if stalling is called 5x more in the last :30 of a match than in the previous 6:30.

I have no idea if this is true either, but it would also track with the accelerated timeline. Instead of just cutting the list this week, he went down to 4 teams today and will announce tomorrow. If he wanted to drag it out longer, he certainly could.

Na, I just don't care about spell checking message boards post. It allows the grammar police to feel useful and then I know who to avoid at parties.

Didn't Okie State already start a new era when they hired DT? Is this another new era about to be started? Honestly, I had no idea Okie State was offensive. I assumed they didn't like Okie Lite but figured Okie State was fine.

Maybe they have Bassett penciled in at 157 in 5 years so they they don't need Estrada to have 4 more years of eligibility

Not to pick on Rutgers, but couldn't the same critique be made about every sport Rutgers competes in?? For whatever reason, they aren't a power player in anything. Goodale might run the most successful program in the entire athletic department? Football, Basketball, Baseball all would love to have a top ten finish in the NCAAs, be middle of the pack of the most dominate conference and be known as one of the better home environments in the nation.

I actually did notice that, but I couldn't bring myself to typing a wrestling dual with the "e"

It was still 20.5 this morning. Which way do you see it moving? If you assume PSU can get 3 bonus points (141, 165, 174, 184, 285 all seem possible), Iowa needs 3 wins to cover. That seems right to me. I predicted 3 Iowa wins but don't feel confident in Rec Hall.

For those in states with Draftkings, they have lines on a bunch of duals this weekend. Iowa/PSU -20.5 NCST/UNC +15.5 Virginia/VT -28.5 Utah Valley/SDSU -22.5 WY/NDSU +7.5 Wisc/Neb -36.5 SIUE/Cal Bapt -4.5 Stan/OrSt +18.5 Duke/Pitt -31.5 OSU/Mich +21.5 Pur/Minn -14.5 UNC/ASU +4.5 Thoughts on anyone's favorite. I think I like NC +15.5, Vir +28.5, SDSU -22.5 and OhSt -21.5 the most.

I agree the ranking is odd but to me the bigger question is should we be ranking this many guys? I get that 33 guys make NCAAs (so we rank 32) but with only 77(6)? teams, that is ranking ~42% of the field. And like most bell curves there isn't a lot of separation between the middle guys. The difference is probably just as much schedule related (who has loses to whom). If Block and Singleton had swapped scheduled, they might have similar results and Block would be unranked. Of course the obvious reason is Flo is a business that relies on page views and subscriptions so putting a guy with Iowa singlet higher is probably better for business.

Face value for 1 session is not $190/ticket.

No

Is beating Rocco Welsh in a No takedown match 2-0 pissing on his graveyard ?? Maybe he was ruthless pinching his ankles for 2 minutes on top. Again, give me the funnier version of Carter, he will be more dominate against Arnold than he was against Rocco.

Okay, I am still confused. On OSU/Iowa BTN broadcast they list Gabe Arnold as undefeated but he MFF out of SS? Wrestlestat list his as undefeated but also shows the loss to Ferrari. I know it won't matter, but shouldn't he have 1 loss on the year?

Why don't we see this version of Carter more? Comes across much better. Maybe he is funny and personable when he is going to win but disrespectful and cringy when he can't back up the talk....

You must be hyped for some elite mat wrestling this weekend!

Do you contribute to the team title at all or are you a starter who was either a non qualifier or went 0-2?

This thread is pointing out the inaccuracy not things are spot on! A+ casing. I haven't seen the movie but as mentioned this is common in all "based on a true story" movies and I was surprised the list was so short.
