That's a-hole?

Only 9 scoring wrestlers is nothing to joke about.

Since wrestling started how many times has psu sent 10 wrestlers to nationals?

Disagree. No qualifier equals hole. Zero points. That's a hole

Again, insert eyeroll.

Madden…. you have all this shit researched and spread out in front of you dontcha?

Just sits there waiting for someone to ask…

Can Iowa afford a Spyker 2.0

Since Cael became head coach we've only sent all 10 wrestlers to the NCAA tournament once. That's a lot of teams with holes!

I think we'll be fine ...

Twice. 2013 and 2014. Your point stands.

Good question. Not positive, as I didn't look at many years. To me, the most likely candidates were 1953, 1987 and 1992. All three had 9 qualifiers, so one short. That leads me to think 2013 and 2014 are it.

He may be argumentative at times, but I'll stop short of him being a jackass. Especially compared to our other "rules expert".

I was being a smart ass. I dig jmadden’s act.

The NCAA Wrestling Committee will select two alternates per weight, one alternate per weight class will be invited to the championships. If any wrestler withdraws or does not make weight, the alternate will be inserted into the bracket. If wrestler being replaced is seeded 1 – 16, all seeds will move up one spot and the alternate becomes the 16 seed. If the wrestler being replaced is seeded below 16, the alternate will replace the wrestler in the same place on the bracket, there will not be a redraw of seeds 1-16. Teams should notify the NCAA as soon as they know a wrestler will not be able to compete. The replacement deadline is the time of weigh-ins on the first day of competition.

Interesting. With the tournament being in Michigan, chances are someone won’t make weigh-ins.

With Madden and Mcpat giving us the rules and a lot of the neat stats, those two can make even a novice fan like me look like an expert. Lol. I shared a lot of the stuff they fed me to my older brother who is a fan but not on this board. He was like, “how the hell do you know all this shit? Lol. I told him….

Spyker.

Ironburd makes you look like an expert too.

Crazy to see every school in the B1G represented at 184...

Digital scales? (Bottom of last page.). Poor kids… no understanding of the thrill of holding the scale knobby thing at the top of the opening and seeing if it drops a sliver at the weight you need to make.

Sliding that piece of paper in the opening to be certain.

Or, the night before not wanting to know the actual number, holding the “knobby thing” at the bottom and judging how far over by the sound of the thud when it hit the top.

That’s his coach and it’s understandable that he’s upset. But he’s also tweeted about the Big Ten MFFs in his critique of it all. Yet when Small got to the semi finals of the Clarion open, he then MFF’d out. (He proceeded to wrestle the following week at the Journeyman Classic). His MFFs at the Clarion open may have cost him the ability to wrestle Cochran at the tournament, which could have given him a win over the NQ and the resume he needed.

It is nice to have a rules expert around that isn't an argumentative jackass.

Argumentative jackasses are the reasons I read this forum

Also Small lost to Antrassian, who got an at-large.

And don't forget the age old trick of sneaking up behind your teammate and putting your foot on the scale. I pulled that one on a female at the gym back in the 80's. Advice to everyone here - don't do it!
