Sponsorship $ is how they got in bed. Two wrestling schools right off the top of my head and still sipping my first coffe: Caesar’s sponsors Michigan State PointsBet sponsors Maryland

And after all that, they still ended up getting bed with gambling. So yes, they did ask for it - just took longer.

The NCAA got in bed with gambling and now they are shocked, shocked I say!, at the fallout. Like cheating on your spouse, leaving them for the mistress, and then the former mistress becomes a side chick for someone else a few months later. Leopards Ate My Face Party strikes again.

Oh so it's a nothingburger then?

Luckily the Venn diagram of founders of Rokfin and founders of FloSports are a single circle. We all love Kozak but Flo sucks and copy/pasting results is a nothing burger. Quit being a turd in the punchbowl or go file a copyright infringement on behalf of Flo.

Sounds like someone got Montezuma’s revenge after having too much fun at Señor Frogs

Freco is much more effective at the age-group level. The problem is the rest of the world has now experienced freco when they get to seniors and proper greco wipes the floor with us.

It's not just wrestling. There was a pretty big kerfluffle in fencing at an Olympic qualifier involving a Ukrainian athlete and an INA athlete who happens to live in Russia. The tl;dr is that post-covid sword taps became acceptable in lieu of handshakes similar to dapping up. The UKR athlete asked and was told by judges that she could tap sabres and did so after beating the INA athlete. Well, someone changed their mind and the UKR athlete was disqualified for not shaking hands; you may also be shocked to find out that a Russian oligarch is a head honcho for the international fencing governing body. The IOC had to step in to confirm the Ukrainian athlete retained her qualifying position. Make no bones about it: Russia will be competing in every sport under the INA flag. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/07/28/7413289/ https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-demands-stripping-russian-competitor-230858805.html#:~:text=The Fencing Federation of Ukraine,stripped of her neutral status.

Nashville can’t keep up and I did my part to prove it one weekend #BearDown https://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2012/11/06/nfl-bears-beer-nashville/1685913/

I did one of those yesterday. It sucked!

Rulon : Steveson So if he wins then he’s going to get big. Really, reallllly 450 pounds big. I’m thinking his WWE character takes a crazy turn. That’s right: Yokozuna!

Who could beat Steveson if he half-asses it? Zare and Geno for sure, Akgul if he has another good weekend, ya know, like when he won worlds last year. Gotta be all in at that elitist of the world’s elite level that most of us will never begin to grasp. Parris slowing down Steveson at Final X was a HUGE improvement but don’t correlate that to W’s at the top level. Until he proves it we won’t know and until he goes to a tourney with the studs then he won’t get the chance to prove it. It’s a conundrum for sure. But we all believe in his ability.

People who make big NIL dollars while enrolled in a blow-off real estate grad certificate course which turns into a big RTC deal while also making six figures pursuing a pro wrestling career + all the endorsement money?

51% likelihood but on very heavy criteria: 110% Minnesota Only if he wins a world title Only B1Gs + NCAAs. Maybe senior night if they require at least one home dual appearance as part of the payment plan Only if NIL + RTC pony up fat bag$$

Buddies are on Ragbrai this week. They crashed the wedding yesterday and were graciously overserved - heard this morning was painful lol https://ragbrai.com/youre-the-lube-in-my-chain-a-ragbrai-wedding-at-the-craft-beer-tent/

Gable saw all the drama the Focus family brought to Iowa from a few social media posts and said "hold my beer." And I've got five bucks that says he's not done trolling and pwning Hawkeyes fans.

@MPhillips just went from six to midnight

I am being 100% serious when I say that I am building something in the garage that will give them a run for their money. It's taken a bit longer than I wanted but that's okay because it will be a sexy new product.

This foreshadowing can mean only one thing: Gable Steveson is starting a wrestling team at the University of Miami and ACC wrestling is growing even stronger!

Have you seen March weather in Fargo? Both brutal ice storms and 6-7" snowfall are semi-common occurences and when combined with very high speed winds there is a significantly increased chance of inclement weather shutting down the airport and/or bussing routes which could lead to significant participant and attendee absences. That would be very, very bad for the crown jewel of our sport.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Who says Flo is the only one lurking and stealing content from the message boards?

Each of Sad’s fingers weighed 100kg in that photo. He’s getting at least a 10 kilo allowance this weekend if he actually shows up But I also heard from someone whose word I consider to be very solid that Cox touched 250… and it wasn’t a facetious comment off the cuff. Maybe they both consider Gable to be the final mountain to greatness and this is part of the plan?
