    Hodge Trophy voting (includes CStar)

    Brooks didn't give up a takedown all season. I don't even recall anyone getting in on his legs, and if someone did it was only because Brooks let him. As dominant a season as maybe anyone has ever had.

    "DT will listen to Iowa's pitch"

    John Smith at least had the good sense to wash his hands of the Ferraris after managing to get a 197 title out AJ. Brands doesn't appear to recognize that they're collectively staining his program with ugly headlines at a time when he can't afford more ugly headlines, and he can't even point to...

    Why "Social Media" is great....

    Not mine, no, that's Tony Rotundo's. They were taken within a millisecond of each other, and Tony was seated to my left, I forget whether he was right next to me or two over. Mine is below, and if you compared them you might notice different approaches to color and saturation. My goal is to...

    Match Thread 2024 NCAA's - Day 3 - Match/discussion thread

    I didn't hear Burroughs comments but I trust that Jefe's take is the right one and that people are going out of their way to be outraged. There's a large distance between deliberately attempting to reinjure and strategizing around an opponent's weakness. If a wrestler is well enough to get on...

    Match Thread 2024 NCAA's - Day 3 - Match/discussion thread

    Thanks for sharing Aaron with us these past five years, John. We were blessed to watch him become one of the greatest--perhaps even the greatest wrestler--this program has ever witnessed. And as great a person.

    Vote for DT today! Sullivan Award

    DT is certainly deserving (I voted) but I can't imagine anyone beating Caitlin Clark in a contest decided by voting.

    Whiniest Big 10 Coach

    Manning's early lead can be attributed to recency bias, he has nothing on Ryan.

    Ferrari in Black and Gold

    While, true, the actual Ferraris can't be easily distinguished from parodies, this feels a little too on-the-nose.

    Tickets For sale or Wanted

    That would be nice, right? The PSWC has tough bouncers, I hear. I'm going though, big thanks to NLB_Six.

    If Cael was a dick to you, you probably deserved it.

    A few years ago I was shooting the EIWA tournament for Columbia and one of the Columbia guys had an upset no one saw coming. Lobdell, then working for Flo, came over and asked if I had a photo Flo could run, since I was the only one shooting it. I said fine, but be sure to credit me. I quickly...

    NCAA Brackets and discussion

    I'm in the market if anyone sees or hears about an automated bracket spreadsheet. I have a template from prior years but it makes more sense, from a laziness standpoint, to wait for someone else to put it together.

    29-4 at BIGs

    The big thing about the B1G performance was how much nearly everyone did themselves favors with regard to NCAAs seeding. Bartlett slipped but not to the degree that it matters. Starocci will drop but he could go wire-to-wire bonus from the pigtail slot if he had to. Nagao and Kasak could have...
