As a matter of fact I was wondering just that. I had predicted a Reenan upset on the 1a thread and thought it was in the bag and no one had even commented. Thanks for the heads up. 👍
2021 NCAAs

What a great first round.
My mind wondered off to think what these guys will be like in two years, it will be scarey.

A very nice start obviously (I'm even wondering whether some of the juggernaut teams ever had 87.5% of the R1 wins as bonus), and one that could have been a stunning one with a little better officiating on the Iowa side of the bracket. Perhaps it would be an exercise better saved for after round 2, but I'd love to see someone smarter than me provide an updated "team pathway" analysis.

Truthfully, it's pointless to analyze until after Session 3 at the earliest and we know where everyone stands. Plenty of teams have hung around PSU's juggernauts early on. Opponents gets tougher and tougher and after Session IV is when it becomes clear who is the best team.
That was probably a perfect Session 1 though for us (I don't think perfection could have given Joe the win over Wittlake)
But I want an oompah loompah now!!!!
Kerk might major him.
By the way, Lehigh’s 10 strong contingent will get whittled down substantially in short order tonight
Most happiest regarding Howard. Joe. Joe will get it. He just needs to be smarter. He takes too many chances for no reason. That's also why he will be great going forward. He simply needs to be more measured.
I saw the guy who played Violet Beauregard's father on Adam-12 on MeTV this week.But I want an oompah loompah now!!!!
Shut up. I am NOT old.
That guy (whoever he was) had the absolute perfect look for an extra in a Jack Webb show.
I think that goofy stalling call in the first messed with his head.
FWIW: PSU outscored Iowa in session 1B despite going 4-1 vs Iowa's 5-0. Bonus points.
Nice start for you guys. The Schultz pin could be huge. Beard should make the quarters at a minimum now.
It’s all here, in fine print, you get nothing!!!!! Good day sir!!!!But I want an oompah loompah now!!!!
Freshman mistake right? started pressing once he wasn't able to get openings and getting pushed out (with the stall call)... next time the push was coming he went for it. With a full season i would suggest he would have waited until the 3rd for that 'chance'. But I think you're right.. the stall call got him to start pressing. Now WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF HE DOES WHAT HIS BROTHER DID WHEN HE LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND!! Go Joe!
you shoulda included him spewing the latin phrases. otherwise, the appropriate meme is judge smails telling spaulding he gets nothing, or judge smails telling dangerfield "i owe you nothing"It’s all here, in fine print, you get nothing!!!!! Good day sir!!!!
I thought it was a TD for McCoy. BTW, i thought the announcer said McCoy was from New Paris, PA? Didn't know he was a "city" guy, wink. Do you teach at Bedford or Chestnut Ridge?
That whole scene in the office is creepy (and great). Note that Charlie, as an adolescent, would not have had capacity to enter into a binding contract - but I digress
Plus the US torpedo bombers at that time were garbage. Old, slow, and absolute sitting ducks for the Japanese Zero fighters.
