You're welcome for the thread with all the conference bracket links!
Finally - what's brewing between these ears on a Monday morning! Medical Forfeits: I've read 100s of forum threads, Twitter tweets, and Facebook posts to last a lifetime on this subject! I understand the reasoning to have this option for coaches/athletes - it's a safeguard to prevent further injuries when applied correctly to the situation. My humble opinion: this is being abused ... I have NO solution to offer at this time? Using words like PENAL and CONSEQUENCES seems a bit over the top for legit MFF's that occur in tournaments. 10 of the 30 (top 6) B1G placement matches were MFF ... the wrestling world "stopped the whirly bird" with the choice of starting position after injury time-outs ... definitely made a big impact!
... I'll throw this out for the masses -- tip of the cap to the Wolverines, well done < ZERO MFF> !!
What's the next best topic for discussion?
Vito took Glory behind the woodshed last night ...
Ed Scott took down Austin O'Connor ...
Amine squeaks it out against Brooks ...
Suriano interviews were a bit "off" to me?
Which matches do I want to see at NCAAs?
Deakin/Carr
Wick / OToole / Bull / Hamiti / Kharchla / Griffin
Starocci / Hidlay / Lewis / Kemerer / Massa
