QuadPodWrestling Earl Smith what did The Inside Trip call it when Earl Smith talked about NCAA brackets ?

My dude Earl and the sweet dulcet tones of his voice, bringing back Bedtime Brackets for all your listening pleasures.

Can I get a little fantasy help from the masses? Roll w Sasso or Merrill 197? Sasso can look like a world beater one match but make you scratch your head the next. On a roll currently. Merrill loves a close match. Tough draw, but finds ways to keep it close w his style.

Let’s get in front of this now before it becomes a thing again this weekend. “Weight class order” isn’t a real thing. Boxing, mma, Olympics, nearly no combat sports follow a weight class order. Build the finals card this weekend around a main event and co main that’s best

NOW NCAAs can start, I hadn’t seen this clip so I wasn’t sure if NCAAs was this weekend or not

I can only assume you’re talking about Duke V Cannon. During tournament time, my allegiance lie with my fantasy team. And I was rooting for Robyodog all day long.

Love this.

Gotta give credit where credit is due. If there is anything this program has mastered, it’s scoring points wins matches. Always looking to score the next point. None of that “let’s win in ride outs” mentality. Respect.

No particular order (not best, just favorites) Kyle Dake Logan Stieber Lincoln McIllravy Stephen Abas Joe Williams Steve Mocco David Taylor Eric Guerrero Dustin Schlatter Parker Keckeisen

It ain’t about the stats, it’s about the votes. MM got all the PSU votes. Jax most likely got the four OSU votes. David Taylor x 2, Ringer x 1, Wyatt x 1. That’s my take (assuming my understanding of voting is correct). Also, another OSU vote would have come from Mocco.

GREAT READ!

Sadly, will probably never happen again.

.Stanford Wrestling losing multiple wrestlers to the portal makes me miss (and further respect) when Shane griffith didn’t transfer and saved the program.

Alan Fried (Ohio & OkSt) beat both, Tom & Terry at junior nationals while high school. Tom gave Alan 5 of his 6 losses in college, but Fried did beat both. He also beat Troy Steiner at that same junior nationals. Fried went 2,2,1 in college. intermatwrestle.com/articles.html/…

So you think former Hodge winners should be stripped of their vote because they didn’t vote for who you wanted them too? Sad. And really ironic.

Bennett Berge, Zan Fugitt, Nicolar Rivera, Lorenzo Norman, Brayden Thompson, Kade Brown, Tom Crook, Max Vanadia, Troy Hohman, Jake Dailey, and Eugene Harney are the biggest names to enter the portal today. I'm tracking everyone in the portal here: flowrestling.org/articles/15701…
