OU/OSU Weekend (1-27, 1-29) Discussion

Long 2 week break, but a busy couple of weeks upcoming for the team (OU 1/27, OSU 1/29, WVU 2/3, Pitt 2/4).

OU isn’t great this year. Unranked in Intermat/FLO/WIN dual rankings with zero top 10 guys at the moment. It will be interesting to see if Buchanan wrestles this year (Moore recently dropped down to 184, so I assume it’s in the works). He is an immediate title contender if he does. This one likely isn’t close.

Oklahoma St isn’t their usual top 5, but still a top 10-15 dual team. A pair of top 10 guys (Fix 2 at 133, Plott 6 or 7 at 174). I expect this dual to be pretty close, but we should close it out at 184, 197 and 285. If Casey doesn’t go, it gets real dicey.

I am expecting to see Fuessley at 125 (though I am curious if/when Perryman will use his 2 free matches) and am assuming Casey & Julien will be back for these at 141 & 174.

Any insiders have any insight to injuries at 125, 141, 174 and/or any plans?

Buying from Cycloneking

Beware of buying from this member. Paid for 3 tickets and after 20 emails I received a screenshot of 1 ticket. Tried to tell me that’s how StubHub works. Claims to be a season ticket holder but cannot transfer the tickets. Stopped responding when I questioned the multiple email accounts. Sucks that turds like this come on this site.

I did the maths and Minnesota sports fans do not want to read this.

In light of the Vikings losing yesterday, and the last major professional championship coming in 1991 from the Twins, I did some basic math to determine how odd it is that not one of the four major teams has won in 31 years.

There are some assumptions built in here. I assume each team has the same chance to win the championship as any other team in the league that year. It would be a Herculean task to determine the probability of every team in every individual season in every league. So, if MLB had 30 teams, each of these years the Twins had 1/30 chance to win the World Series. (Even less if playing the Yankees in the playoffs!)

The same goes for the NFL, NHL, and NBA. I used the probability of each season and the number of teams in each league. So...

A Minnesota sports team had a 97.9% chance to win a championship since 1992. There was only a 2.1% chance no professional team for Minnesota would win a championship in that time frame.

Pain.
