Also @nhs67 I really like you even if you root for the better engineering school and use the word keggers

Look, I’ve played rugby with the best of them. But here in the States that word doesn’t fly. You’re better than this and the fact that I of all people has to say that should speak volumes. Once every five-ten years is more than enough, but at least 3x in a week or two? Be better than that. I already REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED ZAHID REDACTED STATE-WEIGHTCLASS REDACTED and then edited + requested hide because I wrote some crappy shit. Be better than me, and be better than that word. It’s not ours to own.

They are welcome to immediately go to the US Olympic Training Center and join the Elite Accelerator Program anytime and/or not prioritize participation in NCAA folkstyle at any time. It worked for Cejudo, Snyder, and Aaron Brooks.

Bye to the semis next year once she gets another medal. By remaining at 72 this year she can pursue more career accomplishments means more money, means more in the career discussions, and means two more matches next year. If she didn’t win the spot this year at 76 then gets none of the above. It’s a calculated risk versus bumping this year and walking away with nothing.

Now Lee can’t even win with the level-headed Iowa fans. That was quick.

Lee has wrestled hurt how many times? And look where that has gotten him. So pull out before further damage happens.

I have learned two things: never bet against Sadulaev and never bet against Steveson. One could only hope, given that Sadulaev is now going against time rather than medals, that if Steveson wins another title in '23 then a properly motivated Sadulaev [if Russia is allowed] goes up to 125 for '24 Paris Olympics

Phoenix would be a great option. I would go 1) Nashville 2) Phoenix 3) Atlanta if I were to rank non-traditional NCAA sites. Anyone who complains about Phoenix is most likely an east coaster who doesn’t want *a dose of the same medicine that the western schools have to endure without complaint year in and year out.

What if the Olympic weights were, idk, 92 and 125? where does that leave Cox, Taylor, and Snyder?

False. It is an arbitrary achievement. 10 medals versus 6 minimized weight classes? An athlete is lesser if they peak in the wrong 12 month period of an every-fourth-year cycle? The olympics are a machination that somehow supersedes a "standard" world title because NBC says so and the current example with extremely limited participation is a brutal bastardization of our sport.

I respect your opinion and I also agree that Taylor is now, without any shadow of a doubt, the best 86 in the world. I also acknowledge that Taylor was the behind the #1 pfp king, the same as I do for Snyder now. He was also behind Dake. Again, a world champion 3x over. Neither is a slight against Taylor. He also lost out on a spot to Cox not just once but twice. Cox was "only" (semantics because god knows I could never sniff a world medalist's...) a 2x bronze at 86 before Cox moved up to become a 2x world champ at 92 and Taylor ascended. Does he lose sleep? No. Does it gnaw away? Yep. Does it motivate? You betcha.

Sooooo the David Taylor problem? I mean, you brought up Grand Prix so that’s instantly where my mind went. Quite an ironic comparison methinks

Taylor didn’t jump levels as much as he avoided competition. He was always great but he was never the best in the US. Couldn’t beat JB, Taylor ditched 74 Couldn’t beat Cox, Cox went up giving Taylor the spot. Beats the rest of the world. For USA fans it’s a great problem to have. For Taylor it will gnaw at him the rest of his decorated life.

Zahid going full fatty and dipping his toes into the 92 field at WTT. Talent can only go so far - I think a healthy Moore would rock his world, but he’s not healthy. I also wonder if he can hang with Jackson all 6 minutes. Anyways, your free stock market advice for the day is to invest in Golden Corral and Little Debbie then cash out hard on May 20.

The staff also entered the transfer portal

We call that person a Lincoln Park Trixie For real though, it’s a great spot if you are the type that enjoys large city living. Clean, safe, plenty of shopping, plenty of food, and less than a mile to Diversey Harbor where I run along Lake Michigan every morning. Also has a bar for every B1G school if you’re young and can still hang.

Because she is done with these amateur games and ready for professional wrestling https://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/37316360/olympic-wrestling-champion-tamyra-mensah-stock-signs-wwe

Have you ever left UC after an event? Have you ever stayed at “downtown” Rosemont which is nowhere near Chicago proper? Both options suck and I’m a ten year Logan Square/Old Town/ Lincoln Park resident that loves this city more than anything

As a former heavyweight who always finished last and am sure to always stay to the last match, I feel this. As a forty year old who has missed since 2019, I cannot relate to this. Life comes at you fast lol

Suriano got $250 and inflation is a bitch

More like OU is tanking the program to drop it as they join the SEC. Ask Duckworth.

I thought Amine has only used his covid freebie so far and an Oly shirt his true frosh year, so his “real” RS still remains?

RS him and let Caliendo develop, let them battle for 165 in 24-25. You are going to disagree with my opinion, but I think Caliendo has the higher ceiling…

Caliendo for three years and Griffith bumps up for one more run? That’s a spicy UM team…

4 potential outcomes: Zaire gets a takedown and a couple push outs; in return, Gable gets pissed and lights him up, wins by 4+ Akgul will shut down all 6 minutes rather than :90 to avoid the tech again. Brandvold doesn’t need to convince Gable he’s invincible. They work on turning hard into guts and Geno doesn’t see a lead this time. Mason Parris gets his girlfriend to club Steveson’s knee and we don’t know whether it’s a Nancy Kerrigan or Vince McMahon moment.
