  1. Except everyone Yianni beat would have been a champ had he not been there.
  2. Bet, 'cept for the aforemention derangement.
  3. Word. Doesn't the story implicate Chris Perry and suggest a systemic problem?
  4. They look like they recruit based on paper credentials alone. Like they saw Witcraft placed at IronMan were like, "he's good," but never actually looked at how he was winning those matches. Dude didn't have a reliable leg attack then and doesn't have one now. Same thing with Chandler Rogers: his primary scoring technique was an assassin? Same thing with Mastro: he was freakishly tall at 106-120 and used a bundle to horse guys around. That was his offense. Just seems like superficial scouting.
  5. Did Penn State recruit Ferrari? I just get the feeling that guys like Ferrari would find themselves unwelcome at Penn State.
  6. Haines survived an adrenaline dump that would have crippled the most grizzled competitors. Whatever Cael and co do to keep their guys relaxed is the thing that separates Penn St from everybody else. Haines will win.
  7. Btw I know this regret from experience.* I was in the corner for a state quarter-final, and my guy executed a series of idiotic mistakes that lost him a 7 point lead, the match by pin, and team points that would have likely got us a team trophy. In disgust, I threw my glasses into the wall and had to walk around blind the rest of the tournament. My AD never let me live it down. *Except it wasn't all over tv, twitter, and instagram.
  8. I laugh, but I feel for the dude. His life is wrestling, but he's missing the yellow ones. He's a 26~ year old mat rat who's gonna be hustling clinic, asst coach, and RTC money for the foreseeabke future.
  9. I don't know. I think McGee almost out RBYing RBY might have been the field's best shot.
  10. She's gonna regret that if it ends up on sports center.
  11. Alton had an even worse tank and only one throw sequence: duck=>headlock=>standing cow-catcher-trip-thing
  12. They should probably look for a guy who doesn't hate his team.
  13. Haines. As a coach, I could never prepare my kids to perform their best on the biggest stage. They either would or would not; but, it had nothing to do with any coaching strategy I tried. I am amazed at how Cael and co are able to get their kids to relax. Even the young ones seem to show no fear of making mistakes. I want to see it again.
  14. From the New Yorker: I guess it's a stock photo. I'm not sure how you would search the database to find this image.
  15. What I like a about them is that there is a uniform out-of-bounds space all the way around.
  16. That's crazy. Fill in the bank: At 24, I was already _________. E.g. "in a failing marriage."
  17. I like Penn State: no distracting lettres and the white pops. I do not like Wyoming: too much stuff going on . . They were trying too hard.
  18. Here's what I saw: Imagine both guys ear-to-ear on all fours. Then each man puts their inside arm over and around the guys neck/head and grabs the chin ... like you would for a cowcatcher/snake/cement mixer. Both guys have the exact same hold ... just tge chin. The other hand is free. Now imagine one of the guys sitting/ducking under on the free hand side while pulling the other guy's head down. Now imagine doing it from your feet
  19. I thought we covered this Witcraft stuff: it never works.
  20. It was sorta like a cowcatcher, except Witcraft had both his arm and head under arm. I fortget what it's called if I ever knew in the first place.
  21. Well, when they're on bottom they are intent on staying there for the rest of the period. Bad joke for a bad team with a fan in a bad mood.
  22. I know they outclassed OSU in every position, but I was particularly impressed with their reattacks. I say "particularly impressed" bc it's hella difficult to reattack when your opponent doesn't shoot and just stands there and looks at you. So, they just pulled the trigger when the Cowboy attempted a half-assed snap, e.g. Assad.
  23. In case we forgot, John Smith still hates his team.
  24. I can't believe I'm the only one who has felt this way. You know when you're sitting there at Beast with 2 guys left on the backside and just praying that the next 90 matches will all end in first period falls? None of you just stared at the clock for six minutes after six minutes after six minutes?
