I'm glad you threw in a "but" to pretend you acknowledged something i said, very clever. Thanks I was always known for being clever lol I just think when it gets down to the difference in a specific term, the listener needs to do some work to interpret the message of the speaker. Giving the benefit of the doubt in the case of misunderstandings is particularly a trait associated with quality of character. 3 dman115, BerniePragle and GreatWhiteNorth reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreatWhiteNorth 556 Report post Posted March 16 "Wrestlers who will place finish above their seed." It is reasonable to infer that CoachWrestling's thread title was equivalent to "Wrestlers who will finish above their seed" His picks include only (2) wrestlers who aren't already seeded in the top 8, with the other (2) seeded #10 and #11. For his specific picks, the term "place" is applicable. If one were to add wrestlers at much lower seeds to the list, the term "place" isn't necessarily as applicable as "finish" would be. In any case, the concept of a wrestler outperforming his seed is the same - regardless of the set of wrestlers who are in anyone's particular list. It is merely a small generalization of the OP. Semantics - shemantics. No reason to get caught up in that nonsense, we aren't exactly performing brain surgery around here. Just here to talk wrestling. 1 flyingcement reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steen-hooph 74 Report post Posted March 16 (edited) Place is short for placement, no? So what is said wrestler's placement in relation to the other wrestlers? Round of 12, then would mean you are placed among the top 12, thus exceeding your seed if it is above 12. Maybe the statement should have read "Wrestlers that will outplace their seed and AA" if that is what is intended. Maybe the original poster will let us know. So many things to consider on NCAA Eve.

Wrestleknownothing 1,656 Report post Posted March 16 1 hour ago, Mokoma said: But he’s already seeded to get one win. Yep, so one incremental win. But setting aside the parsing of "place" that has become all the rage on this thread (I assumed the OP meant finish better than their seed, but maybe he meant finish top 8 and I am a moran for not reading it that way. OK, fine I didn't set it aside. So, sue me. And use a prancing lawyer for the lawsuit. I can't stand it when a lawyer galivants. Lawyers were meant to prance. There can be no debate on this point). If, as I assumed, place means finish, then everyone just needs to win one more than their seed expectation to finish better. So reducing it to that binary really supports your objection. I withdraw my comment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess technically thats not place.

They could be the best team in the country or the fourth best team in the PAC12 depending on who shows up. We could even include Teemer in there but so far even when he doesn't show up he's still managed to win. Go Devils!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
