They even make 'em in jeans now. Glorious days my friend...

Sounds a lot like the Hodge Trophy discussion we'll be having soon... some of the thicker headed just can't get past the concept of "set criteria"

It's not here, and it won't be for the Hodge either.

No need to disparage the thicker headed forum users...

Other than last year, which was Tuesday, it has been Mondays.

Without getting into any debate over who should be where in the top 4 pre-seeds, does anyone think that there is a likely Big 10 Champ who would NOT be a top 4 seed?  I could go a step further, and venture a guess that very few, if any outside the top 4 have any meaningful chance of making the Big 10 finals.

When Indiana wrestled Maryland I was hoping Michael North would bump up or Nicholas South would suck down so we could see the battle of the Equator.

But North is so much better.

Possibly Brucki at 97, I think he's capable of beating anyone. Murin could win at 49, too, but he should be seeded ahead of Thomas.

Also Foley 133, Barnett-Heinselman-McKee-DeAugustino 125. 125 is a free for all

None of those you mentiomed have realistic chances to win.

Brucki does.

Agreed.  Maybe 1 of the 125's could make the Finals, but I don't see Suriano losing.  Foley is really good, but his ceiling is probably 4th with a very slight chance at 3rd.  RBY and DeSanto are simply too much and Byrd is maybe a 1 or 2 out of 10 matchup for Rayvon.

Oops I was responding to who could make the finals. That was the second thing he mentioned. None of whom I wrote will win but one or two of em can make the finals.

Ah good deal.  I agree on your 125lb gents.  Foley isn't beating Byrd, Desanto, or RBY, though.  Unless RBY INJDEF's out.

If the preseeds hold, a few wins for Iowa in there, particularly at 125 being opposite Suriano and at 141 being the 2.

If the preseeds hold, they actually score out to have Iowa over Penn State by 1.5 points!

[kionga 48]

I don't like the heavyweight pre-seed for Mason Parris, but I understand it.

I wonder what is the better outcome for him regarding NCAA seeding --- to beat Cassioppi or Kerkvliet for third?  Perhaps is doesn't matter at all.  He gets seeded third at NCAA if he finishes third at Big Ten.

Doubt that , he gets seeded 4th at ncaas if he takes 3rd at big ten …Schultz will be the 2/3 and whoever loses to gable in the big ten finals is going to be the other 2/3

I thought of that immediately after I submitted my post.  So if Parris looses to Steveson in the semis, would it make strategic sense for him to default the third place match?

Him dropping to the 6 seed at ncaas is his best path to finals 

[poorwrestler 39]

Minnesota projected to finish 9th with an Olympic champion in their lineup. Brayton Lee being out makes it worse, but everyone has injuries. Bad excuse.

Might be time for a coaching change.

I have absolutely nothing against Schutlz - seems like a good kid and I hope our greco program brings home hardware for a long time. But I'm absolutely rooting against Zeke Jones at NCAAs and looking forward to the B1G hammers bringing their A game after the brackets shake out.

[nhs67 2,121]

Isn't it conceivable that Gas Tank Gary beats him at P12s?

[BadgerMon 229]

I'm going to go out on a limb and pick the champions.

Suriano, DeSanto, Eierman, Sasso, Deakin, Marinelli, Massa, Brooks, Dean, Steveson.
