Kyle Parco has a shot at a record

[wrestleknownothing]

This may read negative to some, but it is not.

We all know about the COVID enabled possible records for wins and points. But there is another side to that coin. With more opportunity to win comes more opportunity to lose. And sadly there is a wrestler who has the chance to become the losing-est wrestler in NCAA tournament history.

But don't take that statement as a judgement (as many on the forums are want to do), because to attain that title a wrestler needs to be a winner first, and foremost. Oh, the irony. The only way to rack up loses is to win. Finishing 6th or 8th gets you three loses. That's an All-American, baby.

So shout out to Kyle Parco. Having finished 6th, 8th, 4th, and 5th he has 10 total loses (3+3+2+2). If he finishes with 2 more loses (fourth or worse), the record is his, and his alone. With an asterisk, of course. The current holders of the title, with 11 total loses, are Kirk Mammen (Oklahoma State 6th, 6th, 5th, 8th), Mike Evans (Iowa DNP, 6th, 6th, 6th), and Ben Bennett (Central Michigan 6th, 8th, 6th, 4th).

Long may you ride, Kyle.

He's a great wrestler. A bit baffled on why he has been dominated by SVN, and most recently, but a guy he's beaten before. Not a complaint, but I'm not able to wrap my arms around it as to why. He's had a great career, and he'll AA again this year. Would love to see him win it all

SVN has always owned Parco. I think he's now 4-0 with 3 bonus point wins.

Lovett finally got a win against Parco, and in true Lovett fashion, he was able to put up explosive points. If they were to meet again I would predict a closer match, which probably suits Parco.

Not writing Parco off but I feel his ceiling is 3/4 guy. He can beat most of the field, I don't see him beating SVN or Henson.

Got it. Thank you for the feedback as I’m not always up to speed on this stuff. Cheers!

A shout out to you for a nice backhanded compliment 👏

Fair question as Parco looks dominant at times and rather pedestrian at other times.

But for whatever reason Parco doesn't match up well with SVN.

Ben Bennett (Central Michigan 6th, 8th, 6th, 4th).

Ben Bennett is the current Head Coach at Central Michigan.

Fun fact. Did not know that.

Yeah. That’s what is a bit strange. Haven’t watched a ton of Parco prior to this year. Yes, various opinions on his style, but he looks so confident most of the time. Then looks a bit lost against SVN. And sure, SVN is dam good, but he’s not a MM type (basically unbeatable). Not harping on him. Just odd. Guess SVN is his kryptonite or something lol.

Seems if Parco is taken down first and his opponent can ride, then his chances of winning significantly decrease. In contrast, if Parco gets the first takedown, perhaps via a big throw for some backs, then he can be mostly defensive and the threat of being ridden is pretty much eliminated.

Maybe this is generally true for any wrestling match, but it seems especially true for Parco.

4th is probably his ceiling.
The fact that he will have the most losses is, as the OP points out, an artifact of the very unique situation. It doesn't have meaning unless compared to others during the same time period of his career.

Parco gets most of his back points off riding and tilts.

An odd stat, but a stat nonetheless, so why not?

It's like having the most fumbles in the Super Bowl, most strikeouts in the World Series, or most losses at Wimbledon. $25 to HWC if you research and name those.

If Parco doesn't break the record it means he placed third or higher. Here's hoping.

And one Mike Evans is with the group at 11.

Staubach,

Mantle,

Not sure about tennis... Lawford and gore are tied for most finals losses, and I think Arthur gore has 26 losses, but not sure that's the most -I'll have to dig in further.

I implore you to stop relying on that AI chat response at the top of searches. It is wrong sooooooo often, but always confident. Traits that would make it a great salesman.

Patrick Mahomes has 6 fumbles in the Super Bowl to Staubach's 5.

I dug into it beyond that, but admittedly wasn't extensive, as I did it on my phone.

The source I found was most likely just not up to date.

I'm sorry if you're offended by my cursory search on this delicate and highly serious topic 😉

Sorry about coming in hot.

You offend me in no way, my friend.

Bad AI chatbots on the other hand......

What a stupid stat to start a thread about here as a Penn State fan. Just my opinion

Yeah some of the answers they give are comically bad. They sure speed up menial coding tasks though!
