Looks like Willie didn't go to bed yet.

Willie - PLEASE change the entrants list back to a columnized-view. Having to click on each participant to see their credentials is infuriating.
yeah, i'm not sure how i feel about it. it's much better for mobile (where, under the old way, you'd have to scroll to the right every time)
download the rokfin app. it still shows the columns
Pfft. Wrestlers can learn just as much from the Bull and Kennedy!

Even if true the Japanese wrestling committee said something about being returned to Japan with shoulders intact.
This is funny! It would be even funnier if it weren’t for those pesky Altons.
The Alton issues were diverse. A shoulder here, a broken foot there and limited gas tanks.This is funny! It would be even funnier if it weren’t for those pesky Altons.
Seems like the "since 2002" date was selected to get close to the last 25 years it appears. Still, it is an arbitrary pick. Pick, say, 2012 as a starting date and see what happens.
The problem with averages when the data is bound on one side and not the other is a single outlier can really skew the average. For data like that medians are more indicative.
Penn State's median finish over the last 24 tournaments (2002 - 2026) is first.
Iowa's median finish is fourth. Oklahoma State's was 3.5 (half better than 4, half worse than 3)

The only way you can get a median of first is if the mode is also first.
Lately there has been no concavity. All ones.
That's a coincidence. When I went to the dentist today he said, "you have a concavity," I asked how many, and he said, "just the one."

You're going to get @lionlover on here talking about infection points and standard deviants.
I hope he gets to the root of it.That's a coincidence. When I went to the dentist today he said, "you have a concavity," I asked how many, and he said, "just the one."
Who are the substandard deviants around here?
As much as we all laugh at Iowa for their fall from the top, to their credit they have never completely fallen off the cliff… pretty impressive to be hanging around the top ten for over fifty years!
Our last time was right before Cael arrived.
EVERYONE ELSE has bombed at least once in the last five years!
Is Nomad now on the Iowa payroll propping up the Brands regime?
Paid Iowa lover?
This is why the current PSU run it so enjoyable. Love to hate and be critical of Iowa, but they are a wrestling powerhouse whether some want to admit it or not. They know this and have a level of arrogance about being so good for so long. The satisfaction we have is that PSU has knocked them down a few notches and they are no longer the alpha male. It all devalues their 50yr in the top 10 run. Cry we a river Iowa, there is a new sheriff in wrestle town.
Couldn't list Rutgers, I see. That's a perennial top 10 team for you!
The Nomad hasn't mentioned anything about elite yet. More to come, Boom!
Ben loves to troll Iowa.
Odds of Blaze redshirting and Desmond going 141?
8.3:10 ?
I am excited to see Nate sooner rather than later.

Desmond is a long-term 133. Love his competitiveness in going up 2 weights, gotta also temper expectations with how awful his 141 schedule was: 3 jabronis who went 0-6, 1-10, and 7-16; plus an OT win over Ragusin (11-7, DNQ, 2 bonus losses at B10s).
Barring some significant imports, B10 141 is gonna be a dumpster fire. Vombaur, Bailey, and then a massive drop-off to Lemus, Clark, Porter, Sement, Parkins, etc. Even undersized, Desmond should be the 3rd best guy in the conference. (OTOH, Blaze is a slam-dunk B10 Champ who will place much higher at NCAAs.)
If he goes 141, hope his return to 133 is more Conaway or Bartlett than Bouzakis.
Whether it is Blaze or Desmond that go 141, I hope they grow into the weight by next season. Blaze looked average size at 133 this past season..
