    Coaching Staff Next Year

    If you do a search on "Dan Dennis no longer with HWC", it will link you to an undated article from the HWC about Dennis leaving in the fall. Maybe that was what caused the confusion. Its a pretty generic article/interview, so I guess someone could have misinterpreted it. The fact that it was...

    Where My Nerds At?

    You went through the bonus point area pretty extensively, which was good for me to see this way. But the thing I've never liked about the binary model is that it assumes, as you said, "the wrestlers will finish in the exact order of the rank/seed" rather than an expected value. Since there is...

    He did use proper protocol.

    Where My Nerds At?

    I might be the only one to read the whole thing, enjoy it, and appreciate it. Ashamedly, I do realize that is the opposite of a brag. At least I learned to wrestle early in life so I didn't get beat up.

    NEW - previewing Friday's men's dual vs #18 Wisconsin

    Help me with the rules on that. Shouldn’t it have blown dead? I didn’t think you could two stalls on that one move.

    Soldier Salute Brackets?

    Ramos and Brands just got into it. In each others face then Ramos really didn’t like what Brands said when he walked away and Ramos ran after Brands in the tunnel.

    Soldier Salute Brackets?

    For those not watching, KV got behind 7-0 on a feet to back counter. The guy had a decent chest wrap defense and KV couldn’t figure it out enough to come back.

    Soldier Salute Brackets?

    Yes. Couldn’t finish a shot. Had the guys leg in the air about 10 times.

    He should get dropped on his head more often.

    Kennedy vs. Arnold

    OK. I think that's where people are getting confused. Maybe there are two different rules than people are incorrectly combining. https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/championships/sports/wrestling/rules/mens/2025-256RMWR_WeightManagementProgramPacket.pdf So am I reading in this NCAA memo that...

    Kennedy vs. Arnold

    Except isn't the 1.5% based on their original "alpha" weight, not the minimum weight class, or did that change?

    National Duals should determine team champ

    Interesting example. I think the score duals being compressed could lend to the argument of the dual being more “team” focused. I get what you are saying about the spread and the chemistry example, and it has some merit. I guess it depends on how much you think an individual should stand out...

    National Duals should determine team champ

    While I don’t disagree with your choice, your reasoning is a little flawed. A great wrestler could go undefeated in the individual tourney and still not get a team championship. A wrestler that won ½ of his matches can still be a 4x champ by crowning the team off of the individual tourney. You...
