We clearly just came out of DUCK SEASON, causing this whole mess.

Live updates: Big Ten wrestling preseeds release on BTN
- Thread starter GregPickel
- Start date
Similar things were at times posted to the Rivals board, but those things were quickly cleaned up and promptly addressed with the poster as warranted. This Board seems to be a bit looser and slightly more disorganized.
I’m a Jaffa Shriner and left to pick up a family from Lewistown and take them to Philadelphia Shriners hospital. My adventure started at 3:45am. 500 miles later pulling by into Altoona
You’re not the only woman here. I don’t post often, but read daily.
You need more than 1 data point though. Mrs. Reslo isn't a wrestling fan either, but that doesn't mean it's not increasingly popular.

Women's wrestling is the fastest growing sport at the high school level, with over 74,000 participants in 2024-25, compared to 49,000 in 2023-24.
My wife hasn't been to a match with me in decades. Both girls used to go to HS matches, districts, regionals and states. My granddaughters don't wrestle but both have gone to PSU matches with me. The first time I tried explaining what a move was or who the PSU wrestler is, or who he is wrestling they have looked at me and said, "pap, I know who that is" or "pap, I know what a single is". They are both fans.You need more than 1 data point though. Mrs. Reslo isn't a wrestling fan either, but that doesn't mean it's not increasingly popular.

Did she wrestle? My point is as more women are ex-wrestlers, interest may grow
My wife will watch MMA, Muay Thai, or BJJ all day, but absolutely hates wrestling. My older kids (14yr old girl and 10yr old boy) began wrestling before school, then transitioned to BJJ, which they competed in until recently; they can not stand wrestling either. I gave up trying to understand.
I'll be watching the conference championships alone, but I have a friend (former wrestler) coming to watch the NCAA finals with me.
The women's program can only help the sport. More eyes more participants. How about a women's & men's dual at Rec same day.You need more than 1 data point though. Mrs. Reslo isn't a wrestling fan either, but that doesn't mean it's not increasingly popular.

Certainly fair to believe that women's wrestling can claim to be 'fastest growing' from a relatively lower baseline - pickleball and padel have also made those claims. And certainly fair to expect that growth may continue with more formal programs, potential media content distribution other than monopo-flo, etc. (My tiny HS alma mater - 1200 K-12 enrollment - actually has a program). But at the end of the day, these days there's a huge difference between "subsidized" and "viable" if you're talking about sustainability, it's a long march to the latter category for most college sports. And if a sport is lucky enough to achieve it, then the trick is for the athletes not to immediately decide to undercut sustainability, whether through NIL/revenue share demands (with a smattering of TIX thrown in) or union negotiations (a la the WNBA current labor negotiations.)
when team have matches on fri and sun but started misses fri but goes on sun I would say he isn't injured!
May be hard to believe, and perhaps they've run away when seeing you, but there are women on the planet besides your wife. Try using binoculars to find them
Truly a man with good, strong convictions. I salute you!
BTW- My client would not have appreciated me taking pictures; not to mention, the dancers and club owners too. Back in the old days, I would have had to use a polaroid camera with a flash.
Reminds me of the old movie, The Birds, by Alfred Hitchcock.
I noticed at the ohio state dual at bjc there were a lot of women there. Nice surprise and i agree it would be nice if more were interested in this sport
Maybe we need a stripper/ breasts thread so I can read through threads about post season seeding without boobs in my face. Am I really the only woman on this board?

The Ducks probably would've been a decent concept for a monty python satire of it.
I think this every year during a couple of the weeks in March, but can this week possibly be going any slower? It feels like the pre-seed discussion is already a week old, but it’s still two long days until we have final brackets, and then 24 more excruciating hours until we have wrestling.
Then Sunday night the really torturous time drag starts.

I don't know why but when I see BJJ I think of this scene:
To me it has some weird rules about fighting from your back.
It all makes the conference look bad. It makes the coaches look too lazy to sit down and hash out seeding like has been done for decades. Then they all complain. It’s just a bad look. I’m guessing this will be the first and last year for Wrestlestat involvement in B1G seeding.

I have a stupid question / observation.
Has the B1G released the underlying raw numbers, originating from the goofy 3rd party rating service, that resulted in the quizzical pre-seeds?

It’s kind of like locker room talk, some good some bad but they’re still on my team knuckle heads or not (within reasonable exception).
Perhaps it’s just me but I smell B1G fvchery originating from Rosemont IL.
If it's AI they had no idea how to use it. AI needs quality inputs and it improves with better framed questions/inputs. First iteration can be alarmingly bad. Anyway you break down what they did it seems clear that wrestling backups (ducked in some cases) was punitive and so was having limited matches. we can argue the merits of that data. an 8 dual in conference schedule when there's 14 teams isn't ideal either. I guess 5 more in conference duals is just too difficult?
Took me a while to get used to it, fighting from your back seems so counterintuitive (and frankly, sissy/unmanly/whatever). My wife and daughter are not going to outwrestle a 200lbs. grown man. But, that man can't do anything unless they can get past their legs and good luck getting past their guard (with ankles intact) unless you know what you are doing; their guard games are really, really good. My son and I are a lot more aggressive and pretty much never pull guard. I love to wrestle, hence my destroyed shoulders. The only time I'll pull guard is if I'm rolling with someone I'm afraid I'll hurt with a takedown or explosive guard pass...or a really good wrestler, who will otherwise smash me.I don't know why but when I see BJJ I think of this scene:

Admittedly, it's hard to watch someone doing the booty-scooty, even if you like and are familiar with BJJ.

We’re almost within 48 hours of the of a lot of explosions in the BJC. It’s going to be Insane from the Very Start. Let’s Go PSU. Bonus baby….
Women don't watch sports as much as men watch . Sports fans in general don't watch free:folk style wrestling very often. I'm literally know Penn State fans might watch the finals of the NCAAs maybe .
