Yep, 3 weeksStill 1.5% per week, right? So if he really weighed in 182, then it would be 3 weeks until he could wrestle 174 again, which would reset every time he steps on the scale.
182*((0.985)^3=173.93.

Which means he can’t weigh in for 3 weeks if he wants to hit the 3 week date (rounding math stuff).Yep, 3 weeks
182*((0.985)^3=173.93.
Mathematically correct, but he'd have to hit the target weight on the nose every weigh-in for the next 3 weeks, since the equation resets with each weigh-in.Yep, 3 weeks

Too many words 😉Mathematically correct, but he'd have to hit the target weight on the nose every weigh-in for the next 3 weeks, since the equation resets with each weigh-in.
So it's more likely that he wouldn't go 174 for 4 weeks, unless he does not weigh in again until 3 weeks from the ISU dual.
So we probably won't see him for thise three weeks he is not needed.Mathematically correct, but he'd have to hit the target weight on the nose every weigh-in for the next 3 weeks, since the equation resets with each weigh-in.

Probably wasn't exactly 182.00, and who knows the precision of the scales. So yeah, 3 or 4 weeks.Mathematically correct, but he'd have to hit the target weight on the nose every weigh-in for the next 3 weeks, since the equation resets with each weigh-in.

MM’s arms are looking mighty noodly.
Hopefully Brad checked in with MSU158. He always has a fanciful path to an Iowa titleThe Daily Iowan running a dual-byline piece with each author taking a turn to answer the question of who will win the NCAA tournament this year. Matt McGowan takes Penn State while Brad Schultz makes the argument for Iowa.
I suspect the point / counterpoint angle was an editorial mandate prior to the piece being written because it's written for very casual fans and not particularly mindful of reality.

Point/Counterpoint | Who will win the men’s wrestling NCAA Tournament title?
PENN STATE First off, I just wanted to say that I covered Iowa men’s wrestling last year and was thoroughly impressed with what I saw. For Hawkeye wrestlers, coaches, and fans, dominance is expected, and even a runner-up finish in the NCAA Tournament is considered a disappointment. Such a high...dailyiowan.com
After going up against a fight of chairs I would have needed to sit down too 😉I carried 2 cases of Yuengling bottles up a fight of stairs last week and needed to sit down. Wonder what the math is on that…. They were heavy.

Work smarter, not harder.
I think Brad checked in with the rosters for records and to get correct spelling, but hasn't seen a wrestling match in some time.Hopefully Brad checked in with MSU158. He always has a fanciful path to an Iowa title
He missed Caliendo so maybe just skimmed the rosters.I think Brad checked in with the rosters for records and to get correct spelling, but hasn't seen a wrestling match in some time.
Holy crap, that is some wonderful fan fiction! 🤣Hopefully Brad checked in with MSU158. He always has a fanciful path to an Iowa title
Well if he includes Caliendo that clearly moves Iowa from having a shot to being the favorite! 🤣He missed Caliendo so maybe just skimmed the rosters.
This is what Brad was doing instead of watching the teamsI think Brad checked in with the rosters for records and to get correct spelling, but hasn't seen a wrestling match in some time.
Matt McGowan doesn't even knock!
I thought their football team played tomorrow … ?In no surprise - except to some diehards on GIA - points are at a premium at the Iowa Penn dual in several weights. Voinovich dominates 1-0; Franek with a 4-2 barn burner
Wow doesn't take long to hate wrestling in IowaIncontrera majors Kennedy
He’s gonna get hurt if they keep running him out there in this condition.Incontrera majors Kennedy
Standing in front of a mirror does nada if your eyes are closed.Actual post on GIA:
Absolute bullshit stall calls on Drake.
Gallagher pushing and shoving, without a shot, in the final 60 sec and Drake gets dinged twice.
At this point I don't even know what stalling is anymore.
