JC why do guys continually respond to this thing. It is getting exactly what it wants. On this board it feels important and it's getting the responses. Let it talk to it's self all day. If you respond to it then stop with the go away stuff and complaining.

Jagger is a great follow. He cracks me up. Lol
Vincenzo Joseph never won a Big Ten title. Spencer Lee didn’t win it in his first two attempts. Steveson didn’t win it as a freshman. Nickal didn’t win it as a sophomore. Etc.
Please no! Else I'll have to guess more frequently who you all are rebutting--all year rather than only tournament time. That'd be the worst unintended consequence I could imagine. 😉
We have 9 scoring wrestlers, not 8 - and that’s completely unacceptable!!!
Same person ya think?
I’d put good money on it
There is a statistical bias against the top teams with a lot of high seeds when measuring performance against seed. For example, in the extreme, if every one of your guys is the 1 seed, then you literally can’t overperform your seeds, and if even one guy loses at all, you’re underperforming. There is only downside, even though you’re likely completely dominating the tournament. Every tournament is going to have upsets. With a team with 7 top 2 seeds and 9 top 5, we’re going to be the team getting upset, and it’s nearly impossible for us to be upsetting anyone. Given this bias, it’s really disingenuous to compare our results to our seeding. The team is doing fine. If we win half of the weights and qualify 9 guys, it takes a real Debbie Downer to call that disappointing.Hopefully next year Cael can figure out a way to have all our guys seeded last so you're happy they perform above seed. Tell you what, you stick to putting down the wrestlers and I think I'll continue to be ecstatic about the kids Cael puts on the mat and the entire process (including wrestlers not performing to seed) that gives us fans yet another National Championship.
Terrific idea! We then get multiple OWs, and HR implodes yet again (with no help from you ... at least none necessary).Hopefully next year Cael can figure out a way to have all our guys seeded last so you're happy they perform above seed.

Not putting anyone down. 125 didn't wrestle well and was a 10 seed. 141 is a wrestler with a ton of potential having his best year so far but is performing below seed...149 is another promising wrestler who, if he takes 5th or better can say he had a good tournament, while 165 is another terrific talent who is wrestling very poorly...some of you sound like the Iowa clowns who worship Spencer and can do no wrong....telling it.like it is is not "putting down" our wrestlers.Hopefully next year Cael can figure out a way to have all our guys seeded last so you're happy they perform above seed.

Shouldn’t this be a critique of the seeds as much if not more than the wrestlers? It’s why I hate CFB recruiting rankings “analysis.” People seem to think that the player is at fault if the expectation isn’t met. Shouldn’t we consider the ranking to be wrong?
So if Beau goes from 149 to 133 does that make him Kyle Dake in reverse?🙂

F*** Mr Rogers! Your gif is pretty much what he did to a young johnstownsteel many moons ago. I was 6 or 7…. I waited months to go see him at the Pittsburgh Zoo. I was so excited when the day finally came and we arrived only to find out Mr. Rogers cancelled and instead sent Mr. F******g Mcfeely to stand in for him. That prick ruined my entire childhood. I never watched another one of his piece of s*** shows again. I think he’s the reason I like to make peoples lives miserable. If HR wants to blame anyone for my being a d*** over there.. tell ‘‘em to blame Mr. Rogers.

Other than the Facundo loss to Wilson it hasn't been a bad tourney at all. We've seen his struggles getting on his offense so was it really a surprise? Bartlett's loss to Hardy was a downer, but he didn't really wrestle a tough schedule. These losses will hopefully help Cael make the necessary adjustments. Van Ness has a good shot at placing above seed as does Haines. Up 11.5 points going into today is a good position tobe in.
Lots of talk here about BB to 133, but I saw him up close a couple of weeks ago and he's not much smaller than SVN. Although BB is short for 141 (kind of), he's pretty broad. That said, it will be up to him where he goes next year and he certainly wouldn't be the first wrestler to make a really big cut in search of a title - but that doesn't always work out well.
If you would have told me at the beginning of the season that BB would be in a solid position to be an AA for the rest of his career, If he goes something like 7, 4, and 6 in the next three years I would take that in a heartbeat. Not everyone has the tools to be a guy in the conversation for a title for multiple years.
Go take 3rd or 4th today and get on the stand two weeks from now and BB will have had a really nice year for himself IMO.

Some people have a pathological superstition that prevents them from acknowledging good until the end goal has been achieved. As a sky-is-falling behavior continues to “deliver” the end goal, the behavior only intensifies in a misperceived positive feedback loop.
As you’ve probably noticed over nearly the past decade, Miles only adopts this behavior until the goal (PSU winning the championship) is reached. Afterward, he doesn’t continue to perseverate on perceived individual shortcomings. And I’m sure he pats himself on the back for his well-practiced superstition having delivered us all a championship to celebrate.
Some sports fans are simply nuts and not to be taken seriously.
It seemed to me the Nebby guys were the only ones who seemed really cutting. It should be more apparent tonight.
No, he wants attention. Which we're delivering by the truckload.
Brooks showing the love after his match. Impressive young man.
So maybe our wrestlers shouldn’t do so well during the season. That way, they wouldn’t be seeded so high and be so disappointing to you in the BIG tourney.
I'm hoping I'm wrong about Alex, but I'm the same guy that got trashed for saying that PSU missed on not offering Sasso a scholarship. I haven't heard much about that situation the last 4 years.
