  1. Had my best success at greco across age groups. I’d still sell it out in a heartbeat if it means ten weights for MFS and WFS. Sorry *not sorry for having a personal opinion that it’s an inferior style due to limitations that I find as a competitor, coach, and spectator to be suboptimal.
  2. At least both Women’s teams bring home individual medals and team trophies. Can’t say the same about the style that chooses to remove half their offense and has a misogynistic sports dad as their cheerleader
  3. Austin Gomez and Yahya Thomas are very interesting. Most would not pick Thomas, but one could make a very plausible argument he had a better career arc, life-altering concussions notwithstanding, than Gomez did. Also Thomas finished higher than Gomez in the same bracket this past season which is the definition of this topic. Would you rather have three seasons of R12 + 4th + R16, or four seasons of JV + 3rd + R12 + R12? Because... Gomez - 18: redshirt, 19: R12, 20: [out], 21: [out], 22: 4th, 23: R16 Thomas - 18: redshirt, 19: JV, 20: covid, 21: 3rd, 22: R12, 23: R12
  4. More like the rest of NCAA watching Iowa go thru sui szn for no good reason
  5. Would have been hilarious to troll Zahid by declining the 86kg Final X berth and showing up at WTT to compete for the 92 spot. And given the results, I'm kind of surprised that gameplan wasn't at least tossed out in a half-hearted "get a feel for the room" comment.
  6. USAW HATES THIS ONE WEIRD ZAHID TRICK…
  7. I did but I'm still missing "beach wrestling world champion" "chainsaw accident" and "involved in Waffle House fight" to finish a couple of the lines on my bingo card
  8. "Chicago is a hub for international travel and with our partnership with @beatthestreetschicago we have successfully hosted our first training camp."
  9. I asked about another Simmons and this busted answer was all I could get Who is the East Lansing Strangler ChatGPT I'm sorry, but as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there is no information available about an East Lansing Strangler. It's possible that this is a fictional character or a case that has emerged since then. I recommend checking with local news sources or law enforcement agencies for the most up-to-date information on any criminal activity in East Lansing or any other specific location.
  10. ODU experienced the same quick but still painful death of my alma mater. Brutal example and thank you for reminding me to waste an email to the current AD of both institutions. Liberty I cannot morally or ethically support. UNT has hope. Denton, TX is an oasis, a bastion of light in a plight of darkness. I am rooting for the UNT club. I used to travel to DFW frequently and if the opportunity comes up again I will try to observe the room and extend some financial support.
  11. Nevills' peak is bloodround. Not bad, not great, will benefit from a depressed field at 285 comparatively speaking. 6 spots are consumed by Kerk-Hendrickson-Schultz-Cass-Davison-Elam. Anything else is up to the bracket gods. Hi would you like Max Renteria to be your 125? I'll take your 125 kegger if you take my 125 pounder
  12. Right but club does not equal funded NCAA program unfortunately.
  13. Wait are we saying AI chatbots aren't the real life version of Skynet? Who could have predicted that except *everyone* who works in a technology role. My toddler is smarter than the chat bots I develop for a living. And they're very good chat bots. But they also would eat lead paint chips if I told them to, just like my toddler. And they would screw that up in the same spectacular fail fashion that my toddler would.
  14. I'm really surprised that UNT hasn't produced at least a men's team given the explosive growth of that athletic program. It would fit in well in Denton.
  15. Carbondale, IL is doing alright. Middle of nowhere southern Illinois - 2 hours south of St. Louis, 3 hours north of Nashville, 6 hours south of Chicago. Cam Caffey, Zane Richards, Alli Ragan off the top of my head. Not too shabby for a town of 20,000.
  16. This thread topic makes my heavyweight heart happy. Thank you. Also, Hendrickson is taking out Kerk next year. Book it.
  17. Caliendo will be in the conversation for a title next year with this move. The question is how long anyone on the staff/ potential RTC pipeline wants to stay in Fargo, ND. Harsh winters far from anything can lead to wanderlust very, very quickly.
  18. Ok I’ll bite like a chump. What makes you think Parris (not to be confused with world champ ParrisH) will score a point much less take a match from Steveson?
  19. Raw horsepower and nothing more is the basis of my pick. Macch is a big boy with lesser technique, but with the cut to 92 I don’t know that he has the bigger gas tank and it may be a war of 6 minute attrition. However by the second match he will have at least 12 pounds on Zahid which will likely be a factor - Zahid is a 79 and I can’t be convinced otherwise
  20. Fix was better in 19 than his weak silver in 21. But was the tourney field in 19. He has become a significantly defensive-minded wrestler because everyone knows to watch out for the hook/inside trip and he hasn’t developed a go-to weapon in the interim. He has at least three more years in him to get that resolved but I think a change of scenery and mentality will be necessary.
