  1. There's something in the water in upstate NY because there's now two 4Xer's in the span of a decade
  2. This post is wrong on so many levels. 1) the athletes today have better conditioning. 2) John Smith's talents would not resonate today at an elite level 3) the wrestlers are more internationally ready today then at any other point in USA wrestling. Like so many posters on these boards. STOP rewriting history 4) today's wrestlers skills are more narrow? Are you serious? What ever drugs you are taking pleas dm, I'll send you my address because I want whatever you're taking 5) you're last few sentences on par terre are just wrong on every level.
  3. We'll just have to disagree on the Cael stuff. I know people who have been in the practice room and everyone says the same thing. What Cael is doing behind closed doors is unique and very different from every other program. He's a genius as is Gable
  4. Yes I agree. The mental genius of Gable as a wrestler himself and when coaching his guys was top notch. I agree that Brands is not on the same level as Gable when it relates to sports psychology. But, I do believe Brands is as knowledgeable when it comes to technique, positioning, etc etc.
  5. Definitely disagree with that statement. Gable's style is more simple. This is not meant to be a knock on him. Let's say more like Khabib's approach to MMA. But all three men you listed have equal IQ's in terms of wrestling
  6. This review wont help you on the campaign trail
  7. Bullied? He got beat by one move against Jenkins and loss 3 close matches to Dake in one year. You're rewriting history. We're using freshman year Nolf as a reference? Ok. Sorry to break it to you freshman year Zalesky had 5 losses & placed 5th. My take from the beginning was that PSU would win every bout after 149 unless Iowa wrestled sophomore year Mocco No they're not.
  8. No they wouldn't. With the skills they had in their era they'd be lucky to AA in the modern era
  9. No, Cael is not modern day. The crop of wrestlers starting in the late first decade of the 2000 changed what we see today
  10. No, it's facts. Modern day wrestlers are much better
  11. because hes 10x better. Many modern day wrestlers who have never won a national championship would beat most of Iowa's best ever from the 80's early 90's
  12. Penn State would rip through that Iowa lineup after the lightweights except if Iowa started sophomore year Mocco
  13. How does Iowa crush that lineup? Penn State would win every match after 149
  14. Just my personal opinion but I think training with Dake would be his best strategy.
  15. You're facts are a little off. He joined the CIA and was instrumental in Tony Mendez's rescue of six US diplomats during the Iran hostage crisis. The movie Argo is based on those events
  16. He's been on record about having no desire to go for #5.
  17. Lets assume he goes the Gable Stevenson route and signs a NIL deal with a MMA manager. They'll decide his best course of action. Ditching college and medaling on the world stage might be the better career plan. I personally think it would be a bad plan because I don't care how much he believes in himself Carter ain't beating Dake.
  18. I bit the bullet and did the survey. Mail order bride arrives in 7-10 business days. Don't know how I'm going to explain this to the old lady.
  19. Have a hunch he's pressing to maximize his NIL deal. Doesn't get paid then he's out. It's a new era fellas
  20. You are correct on top stalling. I should've clarified that my issue is with the step out rule.
  21. There is a massive loop hole in the step out rule due to folkstyle having actual mat wrestling. Coaches will train their top wrestler to drive the bottom wrestler towards the edge, release, and then push him out. We'll all be on here bitching about it
  22. Guess I'm in the minority that thinks the rules are fine and the stalling issues are due to refs not calling it.
