DS-why was Fagiano suspended ? I know he failed a urine at IU so that should have made any suspension much more costly . Unless they kept it ''in house''-which would be stupid . Hall s a very good wrestler and when I had Patterson they sent him up to wrestle him -Strawn is as good as any 197 outside the top 10 and Fag upset a lot of guys last year .
I would worry more about him than Oplinger as he comes from a better program and has better workout partners .

Any idea as to when they will release the seeds for each conference ? In high school we used to just argue and sometimes fight over seeds -I would pay to be at the seeding for 133 and 165 and 141 at the big 10's .
I tried all season to trade for williams at 41 but that guy who has him quit after the first week .I decided to flex Brown rather than honeycutt .

I was going to flex him but our schedules goin so early -I am thinking of flexing him with Stewart at the NCAA's -These guys over here got into a bidding war for my 184 -Patterson -and I ended up with Caputo and Baker for him -what do you think ? I have Kennedy and Baker at 33 so I may flex them -worked my way up from 10th to 4th through trades and examaning schedules for matches -I trade 2x as much as LoSt -had no choice 4 redshirts and a guy quit before the seasion started .Calcuzzo from Edinboro-transferring to Rutgers .

DS-I know how busy you are but I NEED some info on why Brown did not wrestle last week -I had planned on flexing him this week but may have to go with Honeycutt instead -ANY info would be greatly appreciated . Thanks .
Ps-I belief you have the wnning team in your league as Williams and Nicholson will both AA and Williams may fool around and win 141 .Good luck.

Just noticed Filip Novacek went down to 133 for the CA open -is he good to go at that weight from now on ? Might be a good pick up.

Really glad to see Rebertus back and kick a for you -good luck .

I can't listen to those assholes on Flo either -Back in my day -when they changed the rule about the front Salto-I was told it was a DQ move -why didn't the ref's call it -Or am I wrong ? The Flo guys acted like it was a travesty that Hump was penalized . Maybe I misconstrued the rule , but I've seen many a young wrestler break his fool neck from that move .

Last night I was listening to the george Mason /VMI match and my guy -Byers -takes the mat -nada -finally 2 at the end of 1st then nada -Stall warning -then stall-thwn TD-then stall-now I'm sweating bullets because I was hoping for 6 and now if he gets DQ'd I get Jack-the announcer is saying the VMI kid is fleeing the mat as the whistle blows -5-2-I asked Zapp a hypothetical question today and he said I would have gotten 6 points -BS-he's awarded 0 everytime this year -in fact we recently voted on it because the rule sucks so much-7-2 to change-who knows what will happen but had he awarded me zero on a DQ I would have stroked out -after a few choice words .

I'm not big on following rules -in fact most rules I find stupid and break them frequently -BUT you DO NOT mess with the rules of the greatest sport in the world .
This is a sport , not some GAME-you do not PLAY wrestling -the only sport which comes close in sheer beauty is chess . Followed by boxing and Track and field .

Zapp is just adamant about some things -so much so that I am not participating next year -when you are arrogant enough to change the rules of wrestling that is pretty bad -also , I showed him all those results but he still never gave me the major -he wasn't going to give me the major Hall had but I saw that with my own eyes and TWT listed it as a major --I am just too competitive to roll over and die so I've scratched and clawed and I'll make the finals -but after this if JensenS will have me fine -but no more of this no fft. , inj. def .shit .
I mean Dam , this is Div 1, if you can't field a full squad the coach needs his ass kicked ..

Well-the 'scored'' tournaments are stupid -no advancement points -no fft pts and I say all tournaments should be scored -just treated as duals -like in Reno-Riley Orozco got 3rd place and I scored either 6 or 9 points -2 inj def 's and a fft -how did he get to the Podium if he scored no points in the advancement rounds ? Then the guy left for consos -so no more points -the whole thing is a friggging joke -Trevor Stewart placed 2nd -TF, fall, maj ,then lost 4-2 to King from Edinboro -result 0 points . A ''scored '' tourney means you have the chance to get 5 or 10 bonus points -no advancement , no placement -nothing but a dual meet and if you are lucky enough to place 1st or 2nd you get bonus points . We have 2 guys who quit the second week and they have a possible 6 champs -including Poeta ,Herbst,Tanelli Russell,williams ,Rug, et al.
I was looking forward to tournaments and advancement points and wrestle backs and all that -now they are meaningless .

I awoke -checked the sheets from CMU 's site and said ok-13 points 4,3 6 -turns out I got 6 -no fft and no major -Zapp went just with the book and in your league -I believe it is ISU-has him and JensenS just said ''hey , the scorebook had it wrong and gave him the point -of course you guys get points if your back up wrestles -we don't -we get nothing if the coach bumps him up a weight and of course no fft s nor inj def or med def .The fft med def has cost me -now -over 60 points total this season -not to mention Kinser won the MSU open but not at 149 -the weight he was listed at -so 0 points for a scored tournament champion . I'm busting my ass just to get to the top 6 so I can quit next year . I scored 91 points last weeek by trading starters for subs -just for the CAA's-I picked up Accordino and Bonilla bowman and Byers just for that tourney .

Dart -I was looking at your CAA schedule and it is in contrast to the Binghampton schedule -you would have Bing wrestling 3 matches excluding Rider -yet their site says they wrestle 3-ODU ,Drexel and Rider .I hope your schedule is correct and Patterson gets 4 matches rather than 3-if you are 100% certain of the scedule you posted please let me know -I believe you to be as you have a multitude of contacts and this would not be the first time Earl at Div. 1 wrestling has been wrong -earlier this year he had CMU going to the PSU open so I wrestled Stewart instead of Howe and got drilled when CMU didn't show . I fell so far behind at the start of the year that I am trading like a madman to get matches to make the team which goes to nationals . I should have 29 matches this week -30 if Patterson has 4 rather than 3 .
Thanks -I pride myself inmy wrestling knowledge yet the rules are confounding -why have a ''scored'' tourney'' -if you are wrestling you are wrestling

On a lark I e-mailed the Hofstra coach -shifflet -and he answered me -2 coaches in 2 days -Kerr and now Shiflett -Hofstra wrestles Rider ,ODU ,Sacred Heart and Boston-I now have 28 matches this week-trying to get to the finals -I feel better after unloading my IU guys -Byers has 4, Jbonilla Bowman -my backup 57 has 4 , Accordino-back up 141 has 4 , Patterson has 3 and Henrich has 3 -I see you are looking for a 174 -if anyone approaches you with Trotman -RUN-he med def'd out at Reno and hasn't been seen since -cost me whatever points he would have gotten at Reno wrestle backs -Lonestar and the Southern Scuffle -he's 14-2 -just is hurt or quit showing up. The Va duals were great but my guy went 4-0 and beat Brown and scored fewer points than Brown .

Thank you so much -I am in dire need of some points and was hoping Patterson from Binghampton would get 12 matches or so-I have 3 my back up 57 and 41 from Hofstra and Patterson ...JBB has been doing well recently after his rather horrid start so I thought I'd toss those two in for some matches-had 2 wrestlers at the Va duals and they went 7-0-Stewart and Henrich.

Man, if that is your picture we may have been separated at birth-although I am 709 years old .
Was looking for some info on the CAA duals -I have some wrestlers participating and how does it work ? Do they split the conference or draw names or seed or ..?
How many matches should I expect ? I'm guessing 3 but who wrestles whom ?

Orozco is now at 184 and he is 3-0 with a major -I mention this as I had asked you previously about that possibility .

Maybe after the season...alot of us "alums" want to chat with him.

JB,

Can you try to get Jim Jackson on the show? We were talking about the highschool to college transition for coaches but more importantly, I think it would be great to get him on to talk about the program as well as the Clash this weekend. How was the Clash by the way? Heard you were there.

Thank you so much -as a high school coach I never experienced an advncement dual-the guaranteed thhird match is great because if you are a stud on a BS team you'd be 2 and out even if you were Kong . Thank you so much -Marble is an underrated little guy at a program making a comeback-I wrote a paper in College for my PE minor about how Title IX would break men's sports -especially nonrevenue -I hate being right sometimes -that was 1980.

Pardon my intrusion but I seek enlightenment -I need to figure out my line-up and need to know how the Virginia duals work-# of matches , etc . I am thinking of wrestling Marble from Bucknell and was wondering if he would wrestle 2,3 , 4 ?? matches -I am unfamiliar with the format and would greatly appreciate any info you would be kind enough to share with me . Thanks .
