first Hodge rankings are out

Turk, does Iowa have anyone else other than Spencer in the running for the Hodge? PSU has 4
Read the Hodge criteria and then answer this question. How many pins does Lee have so far this year?
Lee is in the running but it would take a loss or major drop off in performance from Nolf, Nickal and Joseph for Lee to get it this year.
Lee will probably get one before his career is over but this probably won't be that year.
Lots of wrestling left this year. Just my opinion. Spencer was the best wrestler at nationals last March aswell.
Well thats great, but the hodge isnt for the wrestler who wrestled the best at nationals.
PS- the year before
I was on the Nolf , then Spencer then Nickal train, at season start. To be honest, yes, Spencer is bonusing everyone but he is falling way behind on pin percentage which is surprising me a bit so far this season.
I am now on the Nolf/Nickal co-hodge winners bandwagon now. It's the only way to prevent an Injustice.

If your aware why did you phrase your point the way you did?
Nolf/Nickal could get it this year. Spencer finishing 3 to 4th.
Next year (fingers crossed) no way is cenzo not getting it as a 4xer. The committee will just have to do it.
Spencer will have to wait till 2021 and MAY just be the most dominate wrestler all along. Is what it is.
Worst part is he wont ever sip the sweet taste of a team trophy in college.....
Not the Hodge, but -
With #7 M Hall beating #3 Zahid in FLO’s P4P rankings, once FLO sorts the aftermath:
PSU will have #1, #2 & #3 and at minimum, 4 of the Top 6.
Not bad.

I'm pretty sure that's never happened. The closest situation to that criteria occurred in 2012 when DT won it, Ruth came in 2nd, Dake came in 3rd, and Tank came in 4th in the voting.
Don’t you think the lack of depth at 125 will hurt Spencer in the voting? That weight class absolutely cleared out (Spencer had a lot to do with that, I know). I think 157 165 174 and 197 (to a lesser degree) all have better #2s and better depth. What will Lee’s best win this year? Rivera? Maybe?
It's a good point, but I'm not sure it holds a lot of water, given the winner the last two years, and the lemming-like exodus from 149. Still don't think Spencer wins it this year unless the front-runners take a loss.
Best win is not mentioned anywhere in the Hodge criteria. What will hurt Lee the most is his lack of pins. This season to date he has ZERO falls. He gets a LOT of Tech Falls but Nolf & Nickal will both outdo him in the number of falls and so far so will Cenzo, Rasheed, etc.
As much as it will pain @WildTurk , Spencer is not winning the Hodge this year unless both Nolf and Nickal suffer a loss or both get injured to the point they are not bonusing - so he's not winning it. All one has to do is examine the history of the Hodge to come to that determination. Things aren't going to suddenly change because the HR starts screaming. That's just the way it is.
What will be interesting is if Cenzo wins it again this year and comes back for his final year and goes undefeated and accrues bonus at the rate that it looks like he is doing this year. Even if Spencer is more dominant - at the lowest weight class - I have a hard time thinking that the Hodge won't end up going to Cenzo. All you need to look at is Dake-Ruth 2013 to see the way the Hodge works. It's a lot of having to wait your turn, damn the criteria.
Purely by criteria Zain should be the owner of 3 of them since his sophomore year was more dominant than 'Ringer's senior year. But as the Hodge goes it went to a dominant 3 timer senior with an insane win streak.
Even with Zain earning it by criteria last year I would have not been upset if it would have went to Nickal because that would mean it could go to Nolf this year and then Zain, Nickal and Nolf could all have one and at least one huge injustice in the world would have been averted.

You willing to make your confidence in this year’s winner interesting? Some shoes for kids perhaps?
Remember Cael has three votes and DT and Zain each two. Who’s to say how many more our slush fund can buy...
Dont forget PSU fans generally win the on line voting component too.
OMG we are about to take over the hodge voting....
Life is a game but its not fair......

Is that how it works at WIN? Past multi-Hodge winners get additional votes for their additional Hodges? Not doubting, I've just never heard that.
I actually have no idea. I like to think you get a vote per trophy, but it could easily be fantasy.
#PS #HashtagsAreSophisticatedTaxonomy
2 16oz coffees this morning and now on the treadmill working it out. Then I'll visit the tOSU room and conclude with a massage.Hashtags are for kids. How many cups of coffee are you at this morning?
Everything must have balance.
Dude, don't be an ahole on 2 boards. Keep it to 1.
No kidding- he had a bum in the finals both years. Imar? Did that guy even have a winning record in college?
