I almost broke my back cringing at "my boys".

this is gonna destroy college wrestling. You'll have a hyper minority of teams buying all the talent and teams will start getting dropped faster and faster

good luck

i already said i'm content to let people read them and make their own call. not sure why you can't let it go.

then you didn't read my post

everything about this post is disingenuous. I'll submit myself to the arbitration of the crowd.

also Brooks has no chanve because he doesn't change levels as well as taylor.

1) that is not what would happen (meaning if he lost he wouldn't handle it like that). If taylor, who has made a circuitous but interesting argument that he is the best wrestler ever, loses he isn't going to shrug it off that easily. He'll be in a lot of pain for a long time. 2) Brooks is not his student. I doubt they've wrestled much in the last year letalone lately. 3) Raising you opponent's hand is a gross attempt to steal the spotlight for yourself, and its beneath taylor. Remember when Taylor beat Nickal? It will look exactly like that except taylor will shake hands.

its no insult to taylor to point out that this is absolute nonsense.

best places to sit down and eat?

its probably another thread, but I think Iowa and ISUs coaching staffs do a comparable job. ISU is seems more flexible and dynamic, Iowa is probably the best place for establishing a lot of basic areas, but they don't seem like they can sharpen the tip of the spear very well. I don't think michigan does anything particularly well.

This is a nit pick but too funny not to mention. On his X he posted pictures from his sisters wedding, all of which include him.

well to explain not defend, Iowa had 20 plus years of running around talking about how people love to hate them. You have to pay a tax for that. Hence the scrutiny.

Rumors from pretty good sources, no "inside knowledge." I know that's uselessly vague but if I only dealt in facts I wouldn't post on here.

they people mentioned in this discussion aren't in the portal yet....hamiti was in the portal about 7 seconds before committing, almost as if he knew in advance.

I hear they are willing to throw round serious serious portal money right now...

Just to repeat what I just said, I don't that was the intent. I think someone who doesn't know wrestling was charged with promoting the movie and ran with what they thought was interesting.

To explain briefly, and maybe you'll disagree with this sentiment which is fine, they are making a headline out of something incredibly common, so unwittingly looking kinda dumb imho. Additionally, the headline comes off as if its a hit piece, and we all know Flo isn't going to go negative on anyone they want an interview from unless they are simply reposting factual information conveyed by others. So I think the headline comes off completely different than what they intended. I think what happened is someone was supposed to promote a rather boring movie and ran with what they thought was the most interesting part.

you completely misunderstand my post.

unfortunately that's probably what he's wearing to prom...

great example of Flo having no idea what they don't know wrestling and have no idea what they're going for as a platform...

I don't know how you go from a lean 200 pounds to 165, and in this circumstance I don't believe smith just likes weight cutting too much.

alright fair enough

i find that difficult to believe, I saw fat Johnny hendricks during that time, I've never even imagined fat dieringer.

This post feels like someone trying to throw out every negative Brands trope without actually making a substantive point.
