  1. I was told yesterday that bonus rate as a sign of greatness is the biggest myth in wrestling. I would counter that by saying : If Brooks didn't keep matches against some competitors so close, he wouldn't have lost against Coleman. You let a guy stay close, some crazy stuff can happen.
  2. I believe I heard that he was getting up to 145 in-season this year, prompting him to consider a permanent move to 133 (which ended up being a temporary move.)
  3. It is super funny when Backwards Hat Guy can't follow the natural progression of an argument, complains it deviated too much from the topic... and then takes it off the rails into his favorite S&M activities. Bro can't even get the nouns and verbs right in his Plato quotes. Lay off the booze the rest of the night, you have a long weekend ahead!
  4. Also... you have done nothing to dispute the fact that PSU gets its fair share of injuries. Ironic? Dont'cha think?
  5. He was worried that he might not be able to lock his hands on Taylor. He could probably wrap his arms around Lee twice and it would still be too loose.
  6. Those freshman heavyweight and 190/197 champs are playing football. You were given numbers, you just chose not to take them. You say the limited number of four time champs is too small a sample size; I asserted the sample size is every athlete who ever wrestled division 1 in college since the early 70s. You worry about "feelings," but hint that the only reason Lee wins is "hand and arm strength."
  7. I have had quotes by Plato and Aristotle directed at me today, one of which was from SocraTease. (The other was from Backward Hat Guy)
  8. Concerned about "others beating a dead horse;" starts a doping thread about a member of a European wrestling team who is a "US resident,"
  9. I think you probably know the answer to this; what substance were two members of the Greco team popped for?
  10. HUGE sample size of thousands of wrestlers! The only four timers from middle and upper weights!
  11. Yeah... Suriano outgrew 125 until Lee had two torn ACLS then he mysteriously dropped a weight!
  12. Must've been Alberto Salazar, Mark Kerr, Mark Coleman and the rest of the American Olympic Doping Illuminati that he was conspiring with!
  13. Obviously not his error, but you can see why a mega conference with their own network gets more national attention than the EIWA. I still have not watched EIWA tournament matches despite the fact that an athlete I have worked with in the past qualified through the conference.
  14. Or even the Big 10 championships.
  15. Bonus rate is no myth. You are correct about the Covid year making weight classes deeper, however you now get five shots to win. This skews "all-time" stats a bit. However, I think we (as a nation) have been getting deeper anyway. For example: heavyweight has not been hugely affected by these extra covid year guys, but in recent years is probably the deepest weight we have ever had as far as international age group accomplishments.
  16. Also, perhaps the more historically dominant program with the largest fanbase playing a role. Not to mention the "excuses are for wusses" clip may have been more mainstream than the "nuts" soundbite.
