SocraTease Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I wonder if more (verbal) excitement could be generated for these extremely important Olympic trial bouts by having two commentators: one play by play and the other more color commentary. One voice has no one to bounce off of or reply to or banter with or question, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need 2 for the sake of the announcer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've teaching as a full time faculty member at a university for years and one often gets extremely tired after a "performance" (long class), thinking on one's feet, responding to questions, and trying to provide some "edu-tainment" at times. I go back into my office, pull the shades down, and sometimes don't answer the door afterwards. Having an interlocutor helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May well be the signal...."I'm done." JB has neeevvvveeeer missed weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNWfan Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 2 hours ago, D3 for LU said: Lee & Retherford will have to get it done to qualify 57 & 65 for Paris. Pray hard... D3 I think this was the ideal outcome though for Team USA. If I were picking one guy at 57 & 65 to qualify the weight, I think it would be Spencer and Zain. Only question I had with Zain was the cut, but he seemed to manage it well and has definitely improved his freestyle skills. 1 PNWfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnwtwg Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 1 hour ago, VakAttack said: It's long been the rumor that Bo was not a fan of how Taylor's injury was handled, which may have prevented Nickal from a world team spot. That said, I think Cael.has pretty definitively shown his loyalty (as far as on the mat) is almost totally results based. Taylor may be about done, so golden boy status may be as well. This is purely from a wrestling resources perspective. I'm sure interpersonally he still cares. @nhs67 totally says that's bunk i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like many of the wrestlers, just not many of their fans... as seen with what they pulled with JB last night. (In person and on multiple social media accounts) THat being said, another poster referenced Brooks talking the PSU staff 'doing Bo dirty' in the last OTT. It only stands to reason, based on this, that Brooks may be a bit wary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le duke Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 The bracket is showing Mesenbrink over Burroughs by NC for true second? Why would there be a true 2nd where Burroughs already beat Mesenbrink? Burroughs didn’t weigh in today.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True-that, having to hold and maintain interest in a positive and educational fashion gets tiring. School I worked at had 80 minute classes, sometimes 3 of them in a day, I barely knew left from right at the end of a day like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SocraTease Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Mirasola took down Brooks (twice I think). Deiringer took down Brooks with 4-pointer. Zahid took down Brooks (twice?) Shouldn't Olympic and World Champion Taylor be able to do so a few times? I guess we will find out soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
