The call against PJ Duke is one of the worst @NCAAWrestling calls I’ve ever seen

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

@BSwarmer @MikeCouzens @alliseeisgold @rockreax @ShaneSparksBTN @shawnkenney59 @NCAAWrestling @CPyles8 @baschamania He has three fewer matches. I hope that doesn’t sway voters.

Hodge Trophy Race (no names) Who are you picking? #Marchmatness

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

@BSwarmer @MikeCouzens @alliseeisgold @rockreax @ShaneSparksBTN @shawnkenney59 @NCAAWrestling @CPyles8 @baschamania During broadcasts, all we’re hearing is Mesenbrink or Mendez. Same during Big Ten Tournament. Missing out on a chance to promote/showcase one of college wrestling’s best talents: Josh Barr

@daxmean Congrats!

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

I like Tom and Terry. But let’s look ahead just for fun. Who will be Iowa Wrestling’s next head coach?

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

@Benaskren Get well soon

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

@MatScouts1 Great question

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

@MatScouts1 Can you imagine how many times matches will be stopped to figure out exactly how many seconds need to be taken off of riding time?

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

@MatScouts1 @ShaneSparksBTN @CPyles8 @wrestlingnomad You mean tech falls? I don’t know how to get access to near fall points lol

Attn Hodge voters🚨 I ran the numbers:

Pin % by weight class:
125: 10.8%
133: 11.6%
141: 12.9%
149: 13.5%
157: 10.9%
165: 10.0%
174: 9.4%
184: 10.5%
197: 13.2%
285: 21.0%🚨
Conclusion: pins are ‘easier’ at Hwt

@MatScouts1 @ShaneSparksBTN @CPyles8 @wrestlingnomad #HodgeTrophy

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

If anyone wants to do the top 20 or 25, or run this for other years, I suspect that in general it will show similar results, but I’d love to see it 👍

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

Let’s add some context:
All of these wrestlers, even the ones getting pinned, are incredibly talented. I love the sport. Wyatt, Mitch, and Carter are elite wrestlers, and I LOVE watching them

*The numbers are from the top 10 at each weight class, and are % of wins.

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

Should we do a deep dive into the numbers?

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

In all of the #HodgeTrophy talk, I haven’t seen anyone mention that pins are statistically more frequent at heavyweight

^Not to take anything away from one of the best pinners and most entertaining wrestlers in the last several decades.

@moto37b @CPyles8 Exactly this

#WinMagazine did a good job of breaking down the #HodgeTrophy finalists’ seasons:

@Yuno_Mal With 3 point TDs, he may not see too many 2nd periods

[Dave H @DHenry5k]

@benoit80645901 @Yuno_Mal Both good points

Brands: We got Bo Bassett!!
