  1. The IOC earlier this year said that Russian wrestlers were to be allowed to compete in Serbia as "Individual Neutral Athletes." Most notably, Sidakov and Sadulaev were to be included. Does this change that at all?
  2. A very strange turn of events. Really hard to read what's going on with Steveson. In spite of his dominance over Parris, I'd actually like to see him USE his talent while still in his prime, and rack up as many championships as he can. But Parris is in great condition, near the top of his game, hungry, and will definitely be under the radar at Worlds. If he manages to win gold in Serbia, and he's certainly capable of doing so, it will add all the more intrigue for next year's Olympics.
  3. Hope they get another good CEO type coach who is as good with politics and promotion as he is in the room. Can't be losing another West Coast program.
  4. When they floated the idea of bringing back the program, the Oregon administration put out a $75 million endowment figure on what it would take to consider bringing back the program. As one person put it, it was basically a "kiss off" gesture. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2015/10/goe_the_university_of_oregon_t.html
  5. Thus far, this has concerned the football team, and head coach Pat Fitzgerald was fired yesterday. Where does it say that wrestling has anything to do with this?
  6. How about DeSanto? Totally unpredictable.
  7. Didn't Burroughs win his 2013 world title 4 weeks after breaking his ankle?
  8. The only other wrestler I've heard of that was involved in this kind of thing was this guy: https://vault.si.com/vault/1985/12/02/scorecard
  9. I don't know of any actual showroom. Most recently he was known for being the executive producer for the film Foxcatcher. Back in the 1990s when he was the coach at NYU, I believe he was pursuing a master's degree in museum studies.
  10. I always thought the plan was to see if he could grow into the weight. Just not in the cards.
  11. "I want to see McHenry looking as wide as a house. No wrestling, just weights for a couple months. Put on some beef. At this point he has nothing to lose."
  12. I think he's been doing that. https://www.instagram.com/p/CUFofU3rhsu/
  13. Amalie arena in Tampa seems like an excellent facility. The main problem would be travel expenses and the fact that the nearest Div. I program (probably NC State) is 650 miles away.
  14. The largest indoor arena in the San Diego area is Pechanga, which only holds 14,600. 80 miles north, the Honda Center in Anaheim holds a max of 18.900. It's in a pretty good area, although most of the best hotels and restaurants are concentrated near Disneyland, which is 3 miles down the road. The largest indoor arena in the LA area is probably the Crypto.com area (formerly the Staples Center), about 19,000. Downtown LA is pretty congested and would be difficult to get around.
  15. Think you mean potentially losing Lamer. So much happening and so fast. Hopefully they'll be able to fix things over the next six months.
  16. Once they place the skin grafts, they don't take that long to heal. It's probably the rehabbing of that leg over the next year to try to get it back to something of what it was before that will be most challenging to Peyton.
  17. Great cities, but what arena in San Diego would be big enough for NCAAs?
  18. He was enrolled at Michigan, but supposedly the NCAA wouldn't release him to compete.
  19. Wonder what they were talking about after the last TD.
  20. Schultz was a teenager back then, and has grown well into the weight, doing Greco almost year round. Adam has been focusing on the NFL for the past two years, and actually looked pretty good in his other matches. In spite of getting pointed, his body lock didn't look too bad. Hopefully he can work back into contention.
  21. Adam still has it, but still a lot of rust to shake off.
  22. Too bad, although if he made it down to 306, that's a long way down from 475. I hope he keeps it off.
