Harson Harchla up. Vs Brady. Stalemate - Harch was stuck under. Few to no real shots. Stalemate again with Harchla caught under. Now a full shot to leg to TD for Harch. OOB. Rides out for 20 sec. 2-0 going to second period. Both trade escapes. 3-1 win for Harson.

Looks like a good crowd for Ohio State. Good for them.

Why the break? No commercial.

VT singlets are fire.

Announcer calls VT the Cavaliers. Really? Come on. Must be purposeful. Has to be right?

Henson deep often but can’t finish. Sasso threats lead to stalemate. Sasso winning 3-0 in second. Neutral. Sasso dives in but caught under. Nothing. Henson takes down for third. Love it, announcer points out that the RT is not right. That all? Other announcer needs to point out that everything on board is not right. Henson out 1-3. Stall warning on Sasso. Sasso not impressive. Ugly TD Henson!! OOB. 3-3 OOB. Sasso crawling to center? going to OT. Sasso looks tired. Sasso shot. Can’t pull in. Sasso threatens. TD Henson!!!!!

Sasso? Why have 125 lbs names up? ok. Wrong names. Clock not started. Technical difficulties. Come on folks. It is 2022.

After some weird hang ups - wrestling is on!

What does this mean? Flo audio?

Anyone else thought they be watching wrestling but instead are looking at people jumping into a pool?

Can you imagine the venom that would be spewed toward Flo if they started charging for watching many events? On top of their regular subscription …. The vehement Flo haters would be apoplectic.

Aren’t you creating multiple accounts to seem more popular? Getting reactions? Getting people to laugh at your posts? Create awkward situations that gather attention to you? oh, wait, you didn’t want to be accused of that … Woops, not accusing, just asking.

I still need the Hamiti answer people!!

By the way, that fact that ‘phonetic’ is not spelled in a phonetic way .. love it.

Let’s teach each other the right way to say some of the names out there. First one - Hamiti is it — HAM - It - ee or ha MIT ee ??

So you are pretending to be TBar … Thanks for admitting it.

I’m behind. Will say that I’ve said my side. All good. Thanks for the debate.

Wow. Straight up scary. Two? not good now. Worried it doesn’t imply good things for later.

Thank you for this. This was his first match as a freshman? Bam! Looking good! Can’t wait to see how his season unfolds.

Most are not under athletic scholarship. They aren’t privileged in that way. And those that are usually only have a fractional scholarship. Paying 50 to 75% of costs at Northwestern is huge. Even out of state student at a state school. In other words those that have the money can more easily do it. I have heard no disagreement with this. NIL? Who has the time and energy to focus on NIL? The super elite and the priviledged. Let me take a selfie and focus on my tik toks! (Haha) On 3 - ok.

All well said. I agree with what you just wrote in large part. I do admit to disagreeing with choices many make. A parent screaming at their 8 year old kid who is losing a wrestling match is an example. I’d look for ways to get across why those choices aren’t good for them, their loved ones, or society. I would also disagree with a high school systematically creating a path for high school athletes to take 5 years to graduate because it provides them a ‘benefit.’ Even if the parents and kid wanted it. I transfer this belief to college as well.

A redshirt significantly equalizes 5+ year of socio economic differences? I don’t know but I’m not jumping to this conclusion. How do you explain paying for the 5th year? Less well off family is taking more loans. All that said, I would conjecture that taking a redshirt and taking a grey shirt DOES skew toward more well off families. Those that need their kid to graduate in four (and get a job) due to financial situations are more likely to not take a redshirt. The privilege argument cuts both ways.

To be clear, I don’t like grey shirts. Can you paint the picture for me though? Why would only well off families be the exclusive users? If at an RTC, RTC can cover room and board. Kid could have part time job. Don’t tell me they can’t fit in a simple part time job. I think your logic would also imply that redshirts are almost exclusively for those well off. Why pay for ANOTHER year of school - a gray shirt year is much cheaper! You need to address this point. And AGAIN, I’m all for getting rid of greyshirts. I think it is harder than getting rid of redshirts.
