yes, your insult is not pertinent to the discussion and in fact, is a logical phallacy i believe, diminishing the opponent

I love this post! SPOT ON.

im not sure rule changes do anything, unless you are talking about rules regarding recruiting etc..not actual match rules now, getting guys into Admin and tV deals... definitely but football and bball didn't magically take over i agree... but are much more popular.. the deal football made in the 80's was incredible...b/c football is popular...not b/c of rule changes

you aren't going to overcome the problems with this... we offered these immediately when they were available, b/c we had kids tell us they didn't come out b/c of singlets... this was 2008/9 or so... and not one of them came out... we still offer them. we have the same numbers we have always had... thru a few different coaches

disagree, wrestling fell behind b/c it has a stigma attached to it, weight cutting, and the idea of hard work beyond any other sport. Im not saying they dont work hard... its just different...and cutting weight makes it worse.

you are not

how about we just get rid of wrestle backs...this would kill two birds with one stone no reason to devalue points in the wrestle backs.. and we wouldn't have near as many MFF JK JK JK JK

same old argument you make and not even pertinent

i like all of those.. even the one im going to gripe about... rohn v lambrecht... was it really a good match.. until the pin? tremendous list!!!!

stalling still occurs in freestyle, push out or not wrestling has gotten better? im not sure... i still think guys just go to their knees and guys with a hi single up just push the guy out.. no attempt to finish... i have always enjoyed wrestling. free and folk... greco... a little.. if you get the right guys i dont see a problem with what we have. i really love edge wrestling but yeah.. i get the whole tired arguments thing... i keep hearing how it will make it better and I dont believe it's so it's like a kids game... you are off the base, your it!! and what did he really do even the controlling the middle argument is ... bleh... so what... you are stronger than the other guy... did you attempt anything?

thanks thats what i figured

whats going on

thats what im thinking...but why why the change back... although its not undoing the past changes... which would make sense if thats what they are thinking

Im not sure 3 points is the answer, but maybe... b/c it will just become freestyle where guys dont finish... DONT EVEN TRY... they just push them out

didn't we just de-emphasize champions a few years ago? now we are de-emphasizing the wrestle backs... why? NO PUSH OUT

btw I like Devaney as a venue.. perhaps a bit big .. but when the right team comes in.. its packed and loud. when did you attend at Devaney?

Devaney the current home of the Huskers, the coliseum at Nebraska, the old home, Iowa/Iowa State at carver, incredible OSU v. Nebraska at gallagher Iba and I chanced into a dual at ASU v. Nebraska . the asu venue was awesome. It would have been amazing had it been well attended we had just flown in for vacay over christmas break and few bowl games and had to speed to get there... missed the first match i think... the nebraska bench turned to see who was yelling go big red!

this year was kind of an anomaly for the finals as well. I can't remember the last time saturday night was this exciting . maybe Most fans remember how boring they can be and choose not to watch the average person does not watch wrestling, unless someone takes them by the hand and watches with them

i dont think it had anything to do with it but im surprised no one mentioned we are butting up against basketball. I think the cable numbers are down b/c of streaming. yes options are the same... but the smart buy is NOT cable.. so more people are using the streaming options. i have used Hulu for 5-6 years now..maybe more.. and have espn+ as part of it. oh i know what happened... my son and daughter were home... so they watched it with me... we didn't have 3 tv's in 3 different cities... sorry guys

did brooks say they couldn't go to school there? did he throw anybody off a building?

wear the shirt!!! bake the cake!!!!!

i have been told repeatedly that b/c Im a conservative that i am a terrorist. yet, brooks is in danger from a group that has been embraced by the correct ppl here (media) ... and that group has beliefs and ACTIONS which go way beyond most conservative views

if you dont stand for something you will fall for anything and many ppl nowadays are falling for some pretty stupid stuff being fed them.

i dont agree with what he said..not b/c it's not true... but b/c its inflammatory to a group or a dig at a group of people i do agree with his right to say it.. i still ask the question...why is he in danger?
