Horrible job out of SI. The last time I checked, MPerry was not last year's runner-up.

That and they claimed Ohio State had three finalists AND two finalists (when they meant Michigan had two).

Sloppy editing.

What a piss poorly writen and edited article. The whole thing was garbage and filled with useless info, but here's an example:

"Ohio State also will have three wrestlers in the finals, while Penn State and Ohio State qualified two each."

It requires some introspection. I imagine the question they asked Angel was something like "What's your feeling going into the NCAA Finals?" Then Angel probably gave his profound statement. But still...terrible writing. I wish there was a comments area so we could make fun of their lack of effort. If that was a piece on a college football player or Lebron James...it would be flawless...
