Dark Energy

It usually is. Fair enough. But hard to see how those in charge aren’t culpable. Feel free to shed deeper light.

Thanks for this. We see some guys do great at freestyle with age level medals … but don’t hit that level on folkstyle. Your point of there being no super studs is a good one.

How anyone can somehow imply the administration is not clearly at fault here is crazy. If the current AD has been in the role for more than 2 years (I’m being generous) then the AD would have to be obtuse to not be aware of the issue. And if the AD did not raise holy hell to get this fixed, well, the AD carries significant blame. Does the prior AD deserve blame? Sounds like it but not sure of timing and what was attempted.

Listing to FRL - mention of Shapiro as a real title threat at 157. Even that he is a favorite. 157 seems pretty deep. Feel like I’m missing something. I know Shapiro wrestled college guys last year and did well. But did he beat anyone upper echelon? For those that he did beat, was it with severe authority? Curious to hear the case for him being at least a top two favorite to win 157.

Gambling has the extreme potential to warp incentives for players and coaches due to the close nature of the sports community at colleges. This in turn threatens the trust that fans have that incentives will not be warped into throwing games or throwing scoring attempts or whatever else can be get bet on. Harming that trust threatens reductions in fan base and alumni support as well as negatively impacting school reputation / branding. In addition, I’d like to think that colleges still care, a little, about good character development. Creating an environment that breeds collusion / corruption goes against that goal. Thus the rules. I agree with them and their severity. The rules are extremely easy to abide by.

Ok - Pls list the sports you expect the Ivy League schools to be top 10 nationally. And then let us know which of these do NOT align with your description above. Remember - no athletic scholarships.

I think you are right.

You can say this and believe it … even though it isn’t true. Go for it.

Clearly seen on video. Hoisted over Sidakov. 2 … at and of flurry got a cheap tilt on Sidakov again. Clearly

Yeah right ? For that situation to come out 8-7? Trying not to hate on them but, just impossible. It doesn't work. The math don't math It does. Clearly explained in stadium. 2 and 2 2 and 2 and then 1 for Sidakov

Ahh, ok. Cool. All good then.

Soap has been gone since 2 hours into day 1. Not surprised to hear about the toilet paper. No know to self supply. No beer with alcohol earlier today. Not sure if that is fixed.

They are constantly pumping some kind of smoke / fog into the arena. Why? Doesn’t make it cooler. Wondering what I’m breathing. Can’t be a positive. And no - it is not from dry ice. Anyone know what this crap is?

Erica Weibe is biased against US. In arena here talking to Eric O - up on screen —- her finals picks 57kg Vito (ok) 70kg Yaz (reasonable) 86kg Yaz (seriously?) 74kg Sidakov (boo)

Lee is on b according to screen here

I did see the pin situation. Not mad. Saw ref call it but didn’t notice the confirmation. Wow (again)

That is what was called?? Wow. Ok. That explains the drama. Wow. Ok thanks.

No they did not

Ok. Mus with TD. mus with a big 4 pointer. Otoguru stunned? Sits out of bounds. Won’t get up. Ref calls injury time. Coach and trainer come out. Trainer is like … I don’t know what is wrong. Ref telling Oto to stand up. Won’t. Eventually does. Ref tells oto to go into par terre. Oto saying something. Japan coach won’t get off mat. Coach gets yellow card. Oto won’t go down. Goes to head table and pleads some case. They say get your freaking ass to the middle of mat. He says no. Lowers his knee pads and forfeits. Someone pls explain what happened here.

Otoguro forfeits!! ok. Hearing he was pinned. … totally misread what was going on in the arena. My bad.

Otoguro vs Musukaev!!!

Iran was so clearly stuck. So clearly. Ref out of position. But review called and so clearly showed the pin. But not given to Cabolov. Can a pin be called on a review?

Everyone pray for Jason Bryant’s voice. Seems like it is showing signs of degradation.

Musukaev is must watch wrestling. So explosive. Up 5-0 on a game Ospanov.

Three different body lock / throw scrambles in a row. Instant highlight reel.
