The Hodge

[AndEEss]

Wyatt had 30 1st place votes to Carter's 26.
Wyatt also won the fan vote (roughly 16,000 to 13,000) and is worth 5 votes.

Fans got it done! Congrats Wyatt, well deserved, big guy!!!

No, he got 25 1st place votes. The 5 fan votes made it 30.

This was not complicated. Glad the right guy won.

That's exactly what I said.
30 1st place votes and 5 of them coming from the fan vote.

I can't wait to hear what Stallroccci has to say this year.

Another interesting thing to note, and Flo pointed this out, is obviously each previous Hodge winner gets a vote and those with multiple Hodges wins get multiple votes.

For example: Cael 3, Spencer 2, Steveson 2, and David Taylor 2...

DT created a 4 point swing and we have to assume those 2 votes went to Wyatt. Love it.

You know where both of Askren's went...MM

MM had 3 first place votes. We can guess that Askren gave him 2 and Cael gave him 1 (2 for Star, 1 MM).

And Bo can have his meltdown now that Starocci did not win. Or in his words - a fit. Let's see if he actually gives his award back.

carter (likely) received more 1st place votes from his own coach than Wyatt did from his coach - but imagine Cael split his votes amongst his own guys and contributed to Carter not winning the hodge

Amen to that…the right guy won!

Most deserving. This isn’t the Hall of Fame vote.

Penn state fans losing their minds over the hodge.

My man, dead on. He deserved this. Gable is better just doesn’t always pour it on. Get what you earn. Gable is still the best heavyweight I’ve ever seen

what Mitchell did wins him hodge any other year and he comes in third. Top three cats were dominate no doubt. Carter most boring of them all but still no one really got close to him at all. Wyatt slayed the Giant which won him the award IMO. I would have voted Mitchell myself but I’m a nobody.

MM teched a lot of people, which is dominate for sure, but even the guy from WIN Magazine said today that with the 3pt TD and change to near fall points that the tech is easier to reach.

It could be argued that it now takes less effort to tech than it does to pin.
