I hope you are are at the top of the Big 10 contest standings tomorrow evening. That would be sweet!
I stopped just short of homertastic, having Hildebrandt lose a close one to Suriano.
That said, I’m going hard for a Brady Berge Bracket Bustin’.
Having had no serious challenges to these results, I am now calling them final.
Congratulations to nittinsc for capturing the dual season portion of KYPSW for 2021-22! As you can see from the results, this was a tight race, with RoarLions and NoVaLion nipping at nittinsc's heels. The tie at 6 and 7 went to Acacia, by virtue of about twice and many posts as tomsc. And Tom McAndrew earns the eighth and last spot on the podium.
Everyone, enjoy your bragging rights. And, when you tell people that you are on the podium for KYPSW's dual season portion, please report their reactions on here. Please.
Finally, your prizes will be in the mail. Sometime. And, KYPSW B1G results, as well as NCAA contest rules will be posted today. Be on the lookout.

Like every year I work to peak at Nationals.
Like every year, I’ll still finish off the podium.

Was meaning to ask you, would you have a problem if Iowa guys like js and madden played this next year or even picks for national tourney this year. Would be interesting to see their picks and to compare how big of homers some of us are. Lol
The spreadsheet is set up for a 100. We typically have about 40. So, a couple of extras aren't going to hurt.
Hear that @js8793 and @jmadden1998 ? Feel free to make nationals picks. Hopefully you have time. I’m always interested to see what other fans are thinking.
Nah, just focus on the final score, ignore the tie breakers, and you can tell your friends and family you tied for 8th. Podium baby! 😜
Awesome! And instead of calling him Mr. Irrelevant from the last player chosen in the NFL draft, maybe we can we nickname him MR. IMMATERIAL..
Here are the B1G tournament results. So, I put the message out inviting anyone who didn't play in the dual season to go ahead and join in, and guess what? Two of those guys end up on top of the podium. Zestypizza and jack66, who didn't play all season long, come in and finish 1 and 2, respectively. Congratulations, zesty, you are a B1G champion!
Verolion, fearing that he'll come in last on the season, actually comes up big in 3rd, followed by HR favorite johnstownsteel. Hey, johnstown, you should go tell HR you finished on the podium for KYPSW B1G. I think they'll be happy for you. Zep is rocking 5th, with PSUPaul repping NEPA in 6th. It doesn't happen often, but yours truly ends up in 7th place, and the tie between 98lber and loyalandtrue2 goes to 98lber, with about 500 more board posts.
Congratulations to all, and be on the lookout shortly for the NCAA rules.

Ok so let me get this straight, 2 guys who took MFFs all season get at-large bids into the tourney and beats me? Seems about right…. Lol.Here are the B1G tournament results.

I’d be perfectly ok with these picks getting the max 900 points!
Going into the championship round, I remain grateful for the opportunity to compete. I'm thankful for my two podium finishes thus far this year. I feel blessed to be in second overall, but there's still more to do. Know wrestler, pick result.
You've come a long way
. J/k ... congrats on the 4th place B1G finish.
