Ban Basketball

You're probably right.

We'll see. Toss-ups is a good way to put it.

I think you're wrong at 141 and 184 for UNI/NC State.

I respect you and your asking, but it went over like a fart in church years ago and I just don't have what it takes any more to sit and defend myself with everyone. Getting too old, I think.

What I proposed many years ago before my mat.com ban was far more exclusive and simplified than that. But, man, did the villagers ever turn on me after that proposal! I'd still stand behind it today, as it would entirely eliminate any of that nonsense and the real, deserving rasslers are in the Big Dance.

I'm way ahead of you. See above.

I find this kind of "ducking" far less demeaning to the sport than I do what goes on during the "conference" and "national" tournaments. The system completely allows for rasslers to either forfeit or injury default their ways into three Big Dance, which is a joke. Under this current system, and if I was a coach who had rasslers who could "qualify" this easy, I'd deliberately see to it that all of them don't brassle, just as a means to add further mockery to the system. All of this crap has been in place since Craig Henning didn't make it out of the conference tournament after being a national finalist the year before.

Missing 125 with the UNI dual.

Wow, that bigger one just overpowered the other one. The power of those animals freaks me out.

What a goofball! The guy's becoming a cartoon character.

Exactly! What does that look like!? Wes thinkin alike, my boy!

Single digits tonight, my boy!

Nope, just a shot of one of the PSU cult members, parroting something completely immeasurable and trying to sell it as fact. "There's no one with the knowledge of Casey."

That's just foolish, for God's sake. Is that him, one of the two Sandersons, or the fact that the program has the ability to draw the best of the best right now? I'm inclined to say the latter. Move Cunningham to one of the poorest programs in the country and here's a promise that no one will be jumping into his arms any time soon. "Casey's the best!"

I hear that thrown out there all of the time, but I'd like to know how people measure that.

Yowza! That sounds comforting.

Who is back in the Big 12.

As I've said for over 20 years, the up and down cycles of sports. What's today's " up and coming team" becomes tomorrow's basement dweller, and vice versa. Of course, there are exceptions on both ends, but such is sports.

Given their opponent, are you surprised?

After looking at that, and by my own admission that I don't follow it as closely as I used to until January- aside from UNI- you may be right. I guess I didn't even know that they had as many top ranked guys as they do.

North Carolina State!? Are you bagging me!? That should be a cake walk for UNI in a dual format. As I said since last year, Keckeisen has Hidley's number. It wasn't really a "loss" before, as it was rigged. They were using Italian satellites to change the scoring, thereby resulting in a rigged match. Stop the steal!

Even I, the hardest dying homer you'll ever see, did not see that win coming for America's team, them there pesky UNI Panthers. Wowza!

Runyon match was rigged!
