Looking forward to seeing how Page does here to see if she had a shot at Nelson. On paper she does, but she did drop a weight class.

Cosmetics are 80% of the sale and he has the fanbase that shows up believing. That said, AWA isn't going to be sending their talent there for as long as Ben Askren is around. Ever. Askren would rather send his kids actually anywhere else. So that itch there, as far as homegrown talent goes, won't be itched while Bono is there. With how crappy he has looked due to the Burwick crap, your fanbase is going to be divided right now.

I do hope he does well. To be clear, though, I never predicted where he would land. I am, bluntly put, sick of seeing him get beat on in the B1G. This obviously means he is going 174lbs, right? Does he even beat out Otto? Any chance Hamiti goes up and Maylor down?

Despite me wishing he would, I conceded he wouldn't drop some time ago. All I said was it was more likely, especially since he plans to go 174 before he graduates.

We are more likely to see Mocco double down.

I think he does intend to chop off one of his feet just above the ankle to give 157 a geaux.

Didn't he post something on Instagram or something calling it a career w/ gratitude?

That is as may be. I wouldn't count Buell out. I think Blaze will need a year.

Redshirt, yeah?

Not okay with this. He was supposed to gi back West. Actually stoked for this. Buell and him will be a decent 1-2 punch for thr next two seasons.

I thought we all decided Cal Poly for him? I bet that was what Engel's post was about...

Can confirm.

I meant to include them as well. The only matches I don't see as possible wins for Cornell, all health providing, are 157 amd 285.

Sorry, again. All I really mean is you can't compare Spencer Lee to Carter Starocci. They aren't the same. They mean different things to different fan bases.

Not sure about you, but I squat to shit daily (usually?) and I presume many hooman beans have been doing so for the last 6,000-8,000 years or 160,000-300,000 years, depending on what book(s) you choose to believe in.

You mentioned Stalrocci. I was just correlating criticisms. Lee is seen as an epitome of 'What is' Iowa wrestling insofar as success and failure. His failure meant the Brands bros suck more than they did before the tournament. Stalrocci isn't seen as an epitome of 'What is' Penn State wrestling insofar as success and failure. The reasoning for that is his attitude(s).

Anyone know if Gilman actually retired yet, or no?

Also - Your avatar is top notch. Like it.

I took what he said for that to apply to his shows, not to FRL.

Also of note during FRL he did mention that he changes people's names during his stories for the sake of identity protection. I took that meaning as if his stories were more true, just that the names attached to them weren't.

At NCAAs? Nobody is going to upset them this season. It just isn't logical. You would need them to under-perform in nearly every weight and just one other team to over-perform at every weight. NC State, Ohio State, Iowa, and Michigan are the likely culprits for an over-performance. To the extreme needed wouldn't realistically be possible. NC State, for example. 125 - Comacho - 1st 133 - Orine - 3rd 141 - Jack - 6th 149 - Arrington - 3rd 157 - Scott - 1st 165 - Singleton - 5th 174 - Faison - R16 184 - Fishback - 5th 197 - Hidlay - 1st 285 - Trumble - 3rd (Trephan isn't doing it) Penn State would need to do something like this then... 125 - Howard - DNQ 133 - Nagao - 8th, Soph Slump 141 - Bartlett - 7th 149 - VanNess - 7th 157 - Haines - 5th 165 - Facundo - 0-2 174 - Starocci - 2nd 184 - Truax - 4th 197 - Brooks - 2nd 285 - Kerkvliet - 2nd For both those extremes to happen just isn't going to be a thing. In a dual format it is quite similar. For example, Michigan COULD win 125, 133, 141, 157, 165, 174, and 285. Winning them all is a tall task and would need a multitude of things to line up and probably certain Penn State starters to be sick, injured, or out.

I mean... I imagine it would actually be easier to make a list without, to be honest. That said, a list from the M.E. of wrestling (1999 to now) would be much shorter. Times are a changing. I was a black man wrestling in the B1G in the '80s. Guess how many of us there were then. It is more balanced demographically than it ever has been and it seems to be balancing out each year - more and more. Especially to the regards of women's wrestling too. That is not to say that racism or sexism or any sort of 'isms is more right then than it was now. Society was just more indifferent to it and enforcing of it then - which to me makes it worse, but that is a topic for a different day when we've had enough to drink. I believe there should be a happy medium to what many keyboard warriors are crying for as far as social justices and the extremely high levels of sissy that we have been seeing. Unfortunately we can't see any social injustice right now without every single Nancy, Joe, and Sam crying until they can't breath anymore. It's terrifying how much power cancel culture really can have on people and things. Like... I had an Aunt Jemima, an Uncle Ben, and a cat named Rastus. You didn't see me crying about racial appropriation. All I mean is we can be strong and appropriate. The level that thread sunk to was neither and I commend you, @VakAttack, for standing up for what was right as well as many others. I am of the mind that while Penn State and Cael may be wrestling now, Iowa and Oklahoma State are what wrestling are. We need all three to be good and great to grow the sport to it's peak potentials. These sort of charlie horses are a nuisance to that. I am sure like the Jason Leonard crap of the week prior that this will also get swept under the rug. That is probably better for the sport in the name of public image, I guess?

I mean yes and no. The blatant sexism displayed in that scene is comparable, however it is a fictional movie. Iowa actually relies (relied) on this turdbiscuit for a lot of money and they are willing to lay in bed with him over any amount of blatant sexism and ignorant bigotry. We are lucky that wrestling truly is small in this country. If any manner of one of those 'left' hyperactive feminists or anyone from The View found out what was said and in the manner in which it was said, Iowa wouldn't even have a wrestling program. No Iowa is bad for USA Wrestling.

With that turdbiscuit over there Jason Leonard, I doubt they can leave.
