LJB doesn't need anyone to stand up for him, but I highly doubt that he would go so far as to create a fake account to troll.
1. He has absolutely no qualms about making controversial arguments and putting his name on them. He is also one of the few posters on the sites that is not anonymous. He is not shy about his opinions and probably doesn't care very much what anonymous posters think of him.
2. He is unlikely to know the mascots of smaller programs that wrestle collegiately. He may not even know some of the mascots of perennial top 5 schools. He is more concerned with Roman Vlasov and Islam Duguchev than "the Big Red" or the "jackrabbits"
Not arguing with you at all, just saying I'm not sure how "international" Belarus is at the moment. Seems to be very very closely aligned with Russia. Maybe even more than Dagestan!
I understand. That is according to the current rules interpretation. All they have to add to the rule book is "improve position" and "work for the fall."
Congrats PSU fans. Not surprised with final score, but an entertaining dual nonetheless. Amazing coaching and recruiting. Good luck the rest of the way.
Ed Ruth wrestled for Blair, correct? At least at the end of his high school career? He probably didn't have the opportunity while at Blair, unless he wrestled in NJ preps. (Is that actually considered a state tourney?)
