That is a lot of "sunshine"
If I may channel a Dennis Miller-esque reference, even Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz thinks this is too optimistic.
I’ll start with this on Thursday just to help the karma alongThat is a lot of "sunshine"
Unfortunately Lee will have a tough semi rematchHoward/Berge/Beard - most likely 1 AA out of the 3, maybe 2, would be shocked if all 3 AA
RBY - champ or 2 (Fix will be a tough out)
Lee - champ or 2 (rematch w/Eierman could go either way)
165 Lee - agree
Carter - 2 (can't see him beating Kem)
Brooks - champ
Kerk - 4th (can't see him beating Cass)
However it all ultimately unfolds, cannot wait for the action to start!
PS - What mat is Carton-Pletcher on???

Dr. Pangloss, Voltaire and LiebnizCame here to say I appreciate both the (appropriate) Dennis Miller reference and the GWL one.

Mike Evans is NOT impressed lolCrop is not impressed with OP’s pessimism.
Ok here goes. And this is a long shot
Howard AA but will have to wrestle some tough kids. I think he has a big heart and wants it more than some
RBY champ. Too much speed for Fix but could go either way
Lee champ. Could go either way Cael will have him ready for this one with a plan
Berge AA. Hard to say he hasn't seemed himself I think a couple head bumps may have had an impact
Lee AA. I am hoping he puts the heaters to rest with an unbelievable run on the backside. He has all the talent and he wants it and wrestles accordingly.
Cstar second. I would love to be wrong but Kemmerer is a beast this year. It will take a low scoring match for Carter to win and we still haven't seen all the offense he is capable of
Brooks champ. Wrestles like he's been here before and nothing rattles him. Showed more gutd in that iowa match then I've seen in a long time
Beard AA. I'm being real hopeful here. He seems to be missing something like his head isn't in it. He has all the potential to be an AA so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here
Kerculelies third. I think he wrestles better this time around and beats someone who beat him at bigs
Only a gutsy guy can survive... Brooks ... Showed more [guts] in that iowa match then I've seen in a long time ...
I never bitch about how the boys finish.I've noticed that the people who make the most outlandish predictions are the same people that later complain that our wrestlers didn't meet expectations ...

I agree this is where coaching shows up the most in my humble opinion and I think Cael will have them psyched for nationalsI never bitch about how the boys finish.
I am just confident that they will wrestle well.
Actually that is close to reality compared to my wishful thinking lolHoward-8
RBY-2
LEE-1
Berge-R12
Lee-R16
CStar-3rd
Brooks-1st
Beard-R12
Kerk-4th
I hope I'm severely wrong on a few of them for sure. Cael does seem to have them firing on all cylinders this time of year so maybe I will be.Actually that is close to reality compared to my wishful thinking lol
Having Narcan on standby wouldn’t hurt.Mods need to put OP on an OP “pitch count”.

I'm not sure it's a two horse race. I've been playing with the interactive brackets a lot and am just finding it hard to believe we can score 130+. Would require Beard making the finals and actually finishing off Amine this time and even then we need Marinelli to fall to no better than 4th and Berge to make a front side run. Any one of those things could happen but all 3 in the same timeline seems like a stretch.I think two champs, 2 2nd, and three more AAs. I think Beard is going to shock some people, and personally think he will beat Schultz in the second round. I think Howard's run to AA will be too hard given where he's starting (he'd have to beat Malik Heinselman and then the loser of RayVon Foley and Devin Schroder match, and then a couple more after that. And Joe Lee would have a similar path. Just think it's too long of a road for Howard and Lee. Being seeded 23rd sucks for them.
Regardless of how it all goes down, we should see some good wrestling and a good two-horse race...
All this with youth “on” our side.I'm not sure it's a two horse race. I've been playing with the interactive brackets a lot and am just finding it hard to believe we can score 130+.

Marinelli will still have a chance to get one in 2022. He'll be so much more of a sentimental favorite next year.All this with youth “on” our side.
Iowa underachieving is more likely but I don’t even see that with this group. Lee and Kemerer aren’t going to miss and I would like to see Marinelli get one. Respect for the foil in a GREAT rivalry.....
I'll concede Lee. The other two will have to show me.All this with youth “on” our side.

I don't know. Conceding Kemerer isn't a stretch either. He's just too technical and has great hips. Don't see him losing unless injury strikes him.I'll concede Lee. The other two will have to show me.

If Sunshine and Ames2state also predict Suriano to PSU, then we’ll really have to worry that it’s true. 😬I'm bumping this thread ... it seemed insane but it ended up not being that far off .... Berge looked to be on pace to AA before he got hurt. Only Howard and Kerk were off and Kerk still AA'ed with plenty of bonus.
