But you do have this to look forward to.Congratulations. We just graduated our youngest in May!
Gilman's awakening, sounds like Cael's teaching to me. Soon to be enjoyed by someone else.

For those with Rokfin, can any of you make sense of the ranking methodology used for the top NCAA wrestlers of the decade?
The Truth at 12 behind Amine? DT and Cenzo behind Myles Martin (maybe they are taking into account MyMar’s continued and unparalleled improvement?)

Seriously, I think they just added the aggregate total of NCAA finishes (Stieber 1,1,1,1=4). Tiebreaker being how many titles. Pretty lazy IMHO

It's worse than that. How could Myles Martin be ranked above David Taylor?
These rankings are purely based on x amount of points per NCAA placement position. It's straight math and Joseph not getting his senior year NCAA is why. Amine got a 5th year so that "cheats" the system.
This guy's been doing it awhile, interesting to look at but just a rigid system of your NCAA placement added up across your career.
They aren't counting Taylor or Ruth's first NCAA finals because it is outside the decade. What dumbness.
I wonder if it can be said that a wrestler can truely be generational if his career spans 2 decades....
2 young in one
2 old in other
I always thought Desanto would make a great dart board.It's worse than that. How could Myles Martin be ranked above David Taylor?
Just to note, even with the 5th year, Myles Amine doesn't crack the top 50 NCAA tournament scoring list. (Just misses with 77 points. Only having 8 total bonus points didn't help.)
That's just embarrassing . . .
Flo did something similar and ranked Cornell’s 125s over Iowa for a decade because they chose a strange time frame. HR was outraged, but I was in total agreement and thought their Fatwa was in order
1st=16; 2nd=12; 3rd=10, 4th=9, 5th=7; 6th=6; 7th=4; 8th=3. Since Amine went 4,3,3,3,2 = 51. The article is "Top Wrestlers in the Past Decade," so the author just ignores Ed placing 3rd and David placing 2nd in 2011 and only counts their last three years. Silly approach.
Author should have either included or excluded everyone partially inside the decade b/c by this methodology you're penalizing wrestlers who straddle decades--Ruth and Taylor wouldn't have even made a list for the previous decade using the identical methodology. I mean, it's his methodology, he can structure it however he likes, but its utility is greatly diminished if you're making a leaderboard that needs so many asterisks.
An approach that created the desired outcome.
So we can call it the Freeh report of college wrestling.
The author could improve it by putting wrestlers in the decade with most years wrestled. Better years would be my tiebreaker if same number of years in two decades. Just a thought.
Good Lord, it's worse than Wrestlestat.
If winning a national championship is your primary goal it is rather obvious there are 4 schools available to pick from that are superior to anything in Iowa.
Yeah, who even invited them to the conversation? Oh right, that’s what we do….

Starocci won’t have room for a picture on his plaque in a few years.
Listening to some old podcasts during commutes and just finished one from 2017 -TRow and Funky. Right after we beat Iowa. Askren was asked if he favored Ok State or us. He picked the Cowboys in both a dual and NCAAs. The actual results - 27-13 PSU in dual and a 43 point spread at Nationals.

Was this before he head-butted Masvidal’s knee?
Geez Teasdale just lost a fight due to excessive kidney shots while in on a shot and not being able to finish…..
Was 30-27, 29-28, 30-27. Opponent was a 3x Michigan state wrestling champ, 6 years older, more experienced and the -200 favorite. Not a bad fight, honestly.
Too many shots for the kidneys to handle?
