That Lee - Gomez flurry was RIDICULOUS. How did Lee avoid going over with those body locks? And then Lee wins the last one and a Pin! Holly crap that was fun.

Someone please do research on Asebias of micronesia … looks about 1/2 size of Realbuto. Can’t be 65kg

Ready …. FIRE! ….. losers aim.

What are you talking about. That was a clear 4 from feet. And the announcer is cheering on the home guy. You have some weird takes. Ref even put Micic on shot cloak second so he was losing 1-1

Micic!!!! Freaking hard path to finals!! And he does it!!!

Replying to this

Zahid? At 92? What? He can’t qualify an Olympic weight.

Zahid throwing his match.

Micic — wow. Doing great.

That was freaking ugly / sloppy / crap. Zahid .. that sucked.

His normal look

Anyone else think Chance rolls over a bit too easily? Can’t defend a gut at all.

Zahid nearly killed the Iranian. Medical staff rushing the stage. Oh, ….. just lazy and doesn’t want to stand up.

Zahid - mid periods. Review done. Zahid loses challenge. Zahid and Zahid’s coach saying they did not challenge. Weird. Opponent gets point. Down 9-4. Had tried inside trip and back fired. Taken down and turned 2x … too easily. now in 2d .. TD for Zahid and one lace. Losing 8-9

Algerian pleading that Chance bit his hand. Won’t wrestle. Being reviewed. Being a real weenie.

The Kadi match was awesome. Crazy at end. Greek guy had to give all at last moment and freaking pulled off the lift and toss. Last couple of seconds. Legit Greek? Cool.

Zane R earned his spot.

In arena for 2023 world championships in Belgrade. Many challenges are being won. General outcome is to change 2-0 or 4-0 exposure scores in 2 and 2. Seems like for exposures where it isn’t super clear who should be awarded the points, they are going 2 and 2.

Guys. How figuring out mat assignments and how many matches out? I can’t figure out the UWW app and where it shows in there.

Through translator both gracious and polite. Kadi wants to show that him beating Dake wasn’t a fluke. Also signed with Bellator?! Cool.

Yes. Anyone have recommendations on food and things to do outside of watching the wrestling?

The obvious answer is that Hawkeye content gets more views / eyeballs / key revenue related metrics. Those in the entertainment industry wisely pay attention to those things. A good question is….. Would a concerted effort to create more quality content that is not Hawkeye related would, in a reasonable amount of time, result in more views / eyeballs / better revenue related metrics? I bet sites have tried. I bet they have learned that this is hard and it is smart to go back to the Hawkeye well.

Seems like confluence of events. Key ally, the AD, was retiring. Had opportunity to slot Mike Grey in. Stanford opened up. Perhaps Covid annoyance to. Given confluence, good time to make a shift.

For these student athletes at Stanford … they got into Stanford. Stay at Stanford. Pls — get the brand, get the network, make the coin. Set yourself up for a very comfortable life. Stay at Stanford.

A program with glory in their past is better than one that does not. Sure. And yes, one can assume the administration and resource backing is there. Just like it has been for the past 5 years+. Regardless of all that Something else isn’t allowing it all to click. And to the point that the recruits don’t seem to share my perspective - YES! Very true. I’m surprised by that. I must be missing something. Thus this post. Which I admitted in my original post was written in an over the top (aka exaggerated) manner.
