"everyone talks about this BBS..." (I still don't know what that stands for btw) -LJB

I have little time and respect for people who would dwell on the letter over the spirit of the law.

I never had any feelings about Bono one way or another before this event. Doesn't reflect well on him unless he admits he misunderstood and makes it all right (don't see it happening)

Ethan Smith hasn't improved since arriving in Columbus

Just for good measure, the individuals in question are: Boo Dryden, Cale Davidson (both starters at Nebraska) and Michael Spangler (backup for Indiana)

I secretely really always root for App State if I'm being honest

I like this kid Sean Carter.

Soon to be less after this start. Cradle locked up and Smith puts Wagner away

Seems like a lot of schools - whether by chance, by choice, or by convenience - are in the general range of sourcing between 30-50% of their team from in-state.

I think there could be a particular blind spot here since only one conference is shown. I am only an amateur with this stuff compared to you so thanks for the encouragement. I intend to expand to other conferences as time allows.

Lehigh Valley has always been the capital of the wrestling world

I could be very wrong but I interpreted this thread as being a jab at JC

I'm not going this year. Only been once and it was a blast. Great food and live music everywhere. Interesting architecture.

I avoided checking the score all day yesterday and watched it by myself with a cold one after the family went to bed. I was more than pleasantly surprised. Very exciting match. Good amount of banter between teams without going over the top. Amazing ending as well.
