The CDT article on Cenzo clearly misses the mark. He is now a lock for the third seed at the B1G Tournament. The big question, discussed (argued) this morning on FRL, is who gets the top seed between Marinelli and Martinez.

Yeah, Nate at CDT isn't following wrestling too closely. It's not helping matters that he's wrong on a point even most casual fan could immediately correct you on; and he's responding to questions in the voice of an expert.

I am not really familiar with BIGs weigh ins, or how big Imar is, but, is there an advantage to VJ getting Imar in semis? Like with NCAA’s, a tougher bout for someone sucking weight is semi versus finals where they can eat and rest all day.

Different answers...only my thoughts...

How badly will Joseph’s loss affect his seeding and Penn State’s chances at the Big Ten tournament?
(1) Before the loss, he was the #1 seed, now he's #3.
(2) That loss does not affect Penn State's chances at the B1G Tournament.

Typically, how many wrestlers from the Big 10 make the NCAAs at 125 and 133, and what are Carson Kuhn’s and Corey Keener’s chances?
(1) Every year is different, there is no typical year. This year, it looks like at least 8 at 128, with as many as 10, and at least 6 at 133, with as many as 8.
(2) Carson will have to "steal" a spot, by finishing within the number of allocated spots, and Corey will have to wrestle to his seed. My money's on both making it.

Why did they decide to have Iowa at the Bryce Jordan Center and not Ohio State?
Availability. It was not available, due to a basketball game, for the date/time the Big Ten scheduled the Ohio State dual.

Roar - is this an interview for a CDT job? If so, I'll be happy to provide a recommendation!

The CDT article on Cenzo clearly misses the mark. ...

And the student article misses the mark by calling BoJo Mark’s big competitor and completely not mentioning Zahid:
“There are a few obstacles that may stand in the way [of repeating], namely Ohio State's Myles Martin for Bo Nickal and Bo Jordan also of Ohio State, for Hall.”

Only if it's part-time, lol. Just kidding, of course...haven't figured out what I'll be doing next, though Mrs. Roar surely has a plan.

Are you by chance married to Christian Pyles?
