That was UWW+ I believe, and it seems like USAW will be coming out with its own.

I think he mostly just had his math backwards. He said 16, so 40% not 60%. Still a lot compared to most other schools I’d imagine. Some of them are younger but yes a lot are graduating and I don’t recall if there’s much diversity outside of Mason Gibson

I do agree Jimmy was stereotyping also. But one of the 4 comments I referenced was from a Hawkeye fan…

Baylor Fernandes on the other hand…

The % may be lower, but I think it’s clear the number of a holes in the wrestling world is not insignificant. And those 4 comments are not even counting others that were not quite as drastic, such as calling him a thug or saying he should be kicked out of wrestling forever which is laughable.

Obviously didn’t need to retaliate like that, but looks like Vito did give him a knee to the head at minimum. The headbutt may not have been intentional though.

Maybe part of is continuing to encourage more blacks to wrestle?

If you like freestyle wrestling, sounds like pretty soon you will also need USAW+ or whatever they decide to name it

Of the 28 replies, I count 4 clearly racist replies including 1 use of the n word (but at least x/twitter censored it). Not a good look. Hopefully some of these people learn to be decent humans for Christmas but I doubt it.

To play a little devil’s advocate here, there also seemed to be a bit of that basically being ISU’s peak of that season, and many of them weren’t able to wrestle up to the same level for NCAA’s

Another possible downside is it will disincentivize bumping guys for dual victories. Not that that happens a lot anyway. Will also disincentivize getting lesser guys matches in likely blowouts. But overall I think I like the idea.

Out of bounds rule Danger rule Three point takedowns Top man must work for a turn

He just beat Nico Provo in his first match back

So what you’re saying is…Stanich to the transfer portal?

High school maybe. Isn’t there a decent amount of testing in college though?

Starocci trying to switch to the non-heel team?

Guys don’t need to take banned substances to compete for world titles. I have no idea if Taylor did, I’d guess not.

I’d put Spratley and Jordan on list 1 honestly. Is the assumption that Stanich is redshirting?

Bahahaha

Some may say the Ramos/Noto match never happened.

Speculating of course but personally I don’t think anyone from Cornell said anything to him about Shapiro. Or else I don’t think he wrestles at all yesterday.

What do you make of his decision to let Shapiro finish the match against Chumbley?

Interesting, I see in your later post this is in thousands? How do they determine if it fits this definition vs a legitimate injury?

There was a similar conversation on twitter. A point was brought up (that from a financial perspective, I agree with) that the only “fans” that matter are big donors. Yea they’re usually fans too, but in most cases they’re paying for NCAA titles, not December dual victories. I think the answer is having a team dual championship with 8 teams or so. It only adds 3 matches, and gives more incentive to put out your best lineup to make sure you make that 8. Of course how it would be determined would be another controversy.

They have fined coaches for resting players?
