  1. I’m down almost 20lb in last 3 weeks. But that’s been accomplished through getting back to work routine habits after summer break, eating better, running a 5K every other day, and drinking “the good stuff” on weekends only again. Plus, a stubborn attitude to not let these high school brats think for a second they have an edge up on me in neutral a month or two. I’ve been in wrestling too much of my life to believe any less than hard work and some self control will work over a long period of time.
  2. What’s a Cadet? Must be some military school world championship. Let’s go Black Knights!
  3. As BigTen expand across the nation so does travel cost, especially for minor sports that don’t bring in a major money. So is furthering conference expansion helping schools keep these minor sports viable or could it cause them to reduce some of their catalog in order to focus more on the main money makers? If anything I don’t see this as improving the state of wrestling in the Big10.
  4. I’ve seen a few of those Bachelorettte parties turn into wrestling matches.
  5. If The Sphere did host wrestling it would be a unique setup considering the arena seating was designed more as a concert venue with the 17,000+ seats in a fan type shape facing a stage that’s on the other end. They do have plans for pro-wrestling, boxing and MMA events there, so I guess it’s plausible, but it’s wasn’t really planned as a major sports complex.
  6. Woodburn swings hard but doesn’t have a ton of striking technique and his ground game is almost none existent. If Nickal sticks to the safe game plan of getting it to the ground quickly he shouldn’t need long to finish the fight.
  7. This is true. Several of the big names would have to cycle off for awhile if they ever wanted a chance at it.
  8. I always figured something like Jujitsu (gi or no gi) would be pushed as the next Combat Sport since it’s got a good international following, would allow some nations that don’t traditionally medal a ton to gain more hardware, and is more ground based and the Olympics doesn’t have much of that in their Combat Sports department. Not sure why Brazil didn’t push it as one of their Olympics trial sports.
  9. But haven’t they been leaving their tanks in Ukraine.
  10. We know that showing and making weight ensure he remains in the team ladder and all that entails. So if that’s the prior injury he may have already accepted winning may not be an option but making sure he remained in the ladder still was.
  11. What are these papers you speak of that have news on them? Are they some type of new invention these quick witted Gen Z folks came up with. We used to only get out news via social media and streaming TV. Oh it would be glorious to have a new media format. What will this young generation think of next.
  12. I’m am shocked about this revelation. Shocked I say. Say it ain’t so. My world has shattered around me. Up is now down. Left is now right. Koll clearly got out before this game to light. Woe is me. I need a drink.
  13. Literally just told our HS coach last night during a summer workout they we needed to get the kids doing a Persian Clubs workout like the Iron Sheik. One things for sure the dude didn’t lack in charisma and had no filter. RIP Sheikie.
  14. As this thread slows down hopefully someone notices and is able to sort this by event or person and add it to the Legends of the Mat forum. These type of stories that his what led to its original creation on the mat.com and definitely belong there.
  15. And in a counter move Penn State tossed their “give a F***” out.
  16. If it’s a big box store 2x8 I’d say it may have some decent bends and twists to it.
  17. Now waiting to see if the youngest Ferrari has the fortitude to follow his own path.
  18. I think with a little more transfers a combined tram of the WolverCat BuckHawkeyes have a shot at topping Penn State.
  19. Well it was in some of Indiana High Schools the crowd would be lucky to fill 1/4 of it, especially with this years lack of all weight classes.
  20. While the guys that placed were top world guys this definitely helped a few ensure a more favorable World draw so they got over the hump and now receive the Final X bye. Id be good with a system that just Bye’s the world medalist to the semi’s of whatever they decide the world trials tournament would be as the 1 seed. That still a solid reward but make you compete at least twice to prove you are still the guy.
  21. You may want to hit refresh on your Twitter feed there have been a few more life events since then.
  22. People did, they just were not the Iowa people. And likely Oklahoma St. before that.
  23. I feel like Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Tom Berenger, Corbin Bernson, and Bob Uecker could get it done.
