sure but lets upgrade to San Marzano, with the DOP stamp of course!

and he'll still perform as expected - probably even better!

YOU took the words right out of my mouth! Pretty pumped!!!

He has He’s has #3 Bousakis in the first round.

Ha!

They removed the thank you button so I’ll just thank you this way.

Wouldn’t it be something he shows up healthy as an ox and competes right through the finals in dominating fashion.

I hope some of you with access to the other events share some of the most exciting matchup videos. I only have access to Big10 via Comcast. Thanks in advance!

The whining and complaining here is NOTHING like what has been said elsewhere on social media. Absolutely disgusting comments. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gomez gets booed at by some fans this weekend, then turns around and wins it all including the big event in 2 weeks.

Damn I guess this thread will continue on - 17 pages and counting….

The NCAA allowed this to surface. It must be counting on a "taste" of the cash. First it was the "one and done" allowance of players to be awarded a scholarship, play one season and then off to the NBA. Then it was the portal. Then came NIL, and now this. After this, all NCAA sports will follow - including wrestling. So long college sports, It was fun while it lasted.

Haven’t been back to the Red Horse Tavern since new owners took over in 2022. Great food, great atmosphere.

I’d love to see Robles and Sparks pair up to headline the Big10 this weekend.

No Ionel - I’m talking to you. You are VERY active here and you clearly know ALOT. Why don’t you just pick up the phone to start the process. Mr White would probably be happy to speak with you and he’ll most likely learn a lot too. Go ahead I dare you - then report back to me with your findings first thing tomorrow morning . lol!

Cash is king and is the only answer when those around long enough to do something DO NOTHING.

Oh it’s applicable all right - just by the very names you indicate. They all started in HS and became huge stars and the list keeps on growing. MMA needs to share the wealth to get even more wrestling talent his way.

The “direction” is upwards, and that’s to grow the sport and promote it to new levels. This guy can do it. The request is for his involvement in wrestling period. If it’s not applicable for this forum it will be removed I’m sure.

Dana can do it if he wants to.

Dana you have been reaping the benefits of elite wrestlers joining MMA from Diego Sanchez during the very first season to current star Bo Nickels and everyone in between. You know wrestlers bring something different to the table and the results speak for itself. Remember what you did for Misha Tate when you learned her former school was going to axe the wrestling program? We could lose it all in short time unless something significant happens over the next few years. The wrestlers deserve it damn it! Once the championships are completed why not sit down with a few reputable authority figures from the sport to determine where an infusion of cash and promotion and anything else that can help elevate the world’s greatest sport. Please consider getting involved soon sir.

Now that was good, real good. Everyone was clearly tuned in and enjoying what was said.

I've been saying this for years. D1 wrestling lacks true leadership - it truly does. The lazy older out-of-fresh-idea individuals who feel they are influencers in the sport know deep down inside they're mean nothing to these young wrestlers. They're legacy will ultimately be the end of D1 wrestling within 5-10 years.

amazing stuff

Wow

I’ve never been to a Big 10 event and only once to a NCAA tournament ( Philadelphia). I’m only 2 hours away from Maryland. Can someone please provide a reputable / safe site for tickets. Thank you.
