Warm Up Champ

Does Brands get more credit for Franek's win or for Chittum's loss? Chittum has more time training in Iowa City than Franek has......

Wouldn't you say that Echemendia's "transfer" was a little different circumstance than all the Hawks we have seen so far?

I think I want this?

This is taking this thread a bit off topic, I apologize. Here is the link to the 2001 RTOC program. On page 46 it shows high school placers, from 1996-2000. There are definitely some generational recruits in there. https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/16408439/rtoc-program-2001-reno-tournament-of-champions

What year? I found a digital program online that listed some results. I will see if I can dig it back up.

No sir. I was posting, as someone had mentioned Heskett beating Cael at this tournament.

145lbs. Joe Heskett didn't even win the tourney. The top 4 at that weight was stacked! I believe they all were college AAs. The early Reno TOC tournaments were so tough. NCAA champs and AAs throughout.

Are you certain it is Arnold? Would they save his remaining dates for later B10 duals if they are planning on redshirting him?

My prediction, the Beavs shock the Hawks!

Getting excited for this upcoming dual. Any thoughts or predictions? What are the lineups going to look like for these teams? I know I am can be an OSU homer but I see the Beavs being competitive as long as they don't let the Carver Hawkeye environment beat them before they wrestle the actual matches.

Ohio State looking like they are in much better shape than VT.

Had the opportunity to wrestle in college, in the PAC-10 conference (there were 10 schools at that time). Got to travel the country and even wrestle overseas. It was the toughest 5 years of my life is some ways but also the best 5 years of my life in others. Still haunted by some ghosts of "what if" but thankful for all the experiences. Got to wrestle at NCAA's 3xs and had the opportunity to be pinned by Cael at the 2001 NCAAs in Iowa City. I know my GPA and studies suffered due to all the energy I put into wrestling. However, if I was to be honest with myself I know I would have focused that energy into some other non academic venue if I hadn't wrestled.

Got it now. I was in a rush when I responded. Totally agree with you on the name dropping.

That is supposed to change my opinion of the show? If you are a fan, great. It's not for me.

Same to you. Not telling you what to think, just relaying where I am at with that podcast. I'm a huge wrestling supporter and try to consume as much wrestling media and content as I can. I just can't do Baschamania.

Disagree 100%. That podcast is not entertaining, it is unlistenable. Annoying on so many levels. PSU homerism, religious rhetoric, Justin talking when he should be listening, interjecting his opinions when unnecessary, talk of building brands/marketing, etc., etc... I've tried to listen numerous times due to the guests he has but have only been able to make it through a couple complete episodes. This is also a face that is just screaming for a mean crossface!

Love the shirt, go Clack!

I am sure they were pretty baggy after the match considering how much Scott was pulling on them!

Looks like this dual is being broadcast on the ACC network if anyone is wanting to watch the action tomorrow.

Results of Oregon State's Orange & Black last night. Some good matches at a few of the weights. 125: Brandon Kaylor DEC Maximo Renteria 4-2 133: Gabe Whisenhunt MD Chase DeBlaere 11-4 141: Cleveland Belton DEC Ayden Garver 9-4 149: Noah Tolentino MD Krayle Stormer 18-6 157: Murphy Menke TF Dagen Condomitti 20-4 165: Matt Olguin DEC Kekana Fouret 4-2 174: Travis Wittlake DEC Mason Reiniche 4-3 184: Trey Munoz TF John Knight 19-3 197: Justin Rademacher DEC Mason Christiansen 4-2 HWT: Boone McDermott MD Charley Hastriter 17-6

The Traeger family is actually partially behind Pit Boss. They decided they wanted back in the smoker game after selling the Traeger brand.

Did Grant want to leave Stanford or was Ayres not going to retain him?
