Gene put a life time into Syracuse and they never looked back. Bastards! And Im an alumni who was in the Quonset hut!

You are exaggerating. Loma was 25

Three champions.

Our NY dream would be for a big wrestling donor to revive a SUNY school like UAlbany or Stonybrook and bring in a major talent like Dake-----it is just a dream of course, but a well funded public D1 school in Albany or Long Island would do very well. It is too bad SUNY never made a true flagship campus as it is the only big population state not to do so. Honestly there is no reason Buffalo, Binghamton, Albany or Stony Brook could not have become a Michigan or Penn State

Would you prefer three champions or a team title and nine AA?

Your statement is incorrect. Five push-outs will always score more points than two takedowns in MFS under the current rules, mathematically speaking.

And better.

I just don’t see it as blatant in the education system as we get sold on. There are definitely bad actors in schools and in some policy makers, but overall I just don’t see it that heavy. I deal with a lot of schools in both my ‘regular’ job and in my wrestling ventures. And I feel like we get fed about the bad actors so densely and so loudly, that what we hear in certain media and certain govt entities does not reflect the reality. In my experiences, I just don’t see anywhere near the level of what we’re fed. What I see a lot more of is entitlement from parents. “My kid shouldn’t have to do this or that if it makes them uncomfortable.” What I see more in schools and policy, more so than higher levels pushing an agenda, is not having the balls to stand up to parents and saying…we’re the professionals, this is how it’s done, if you don’t like it you have other options. I say all of that with the understanding that my experiences are not everyone’s experiences.

Wokeness started with the creation of the dept of education in 1979 and has been the norm since Obama. All you can do is slow it down as it’s going to happen whether you like it or not. As I’ve said on here before if Dems would learn what “happening “organically” means instead of shoving it down peoples throats they’d have far more success. Also, Globalism (NWO) coming whether we want it to or not. Even the Nationalist Trump knows it which is why he’s trying to position the US as best he can for the future when it does. That being said you can’t stop it, just impact it/direct it as best you can while you can.

Thats sports too loud and I'm a skeet shooter.

He's not going to ruin his dodge ball gig is he? I don't think he wants to divide the dodge ball talent pool again!

I think we see Dake at Iowa before we see that.

Yup! Was slated to wrestle for RU too, but obviously the sole focus on the gridiron did him just fine in the end.

no. it didn't. the wokeness is now the norm. via media and the education system, everyone is a victim and an activist. I actually agree with RV. If the right doesnt follow up this Trump admin with another presidency, we're effed.

Where are the ratings?

My favorite weight to watch is 125 lbs. Who doesn't like watching midgets go at it?

I realize they are used to it, but do you really think Iowa fans should be "damn happy" with losing?

I have to agree with your synopsis that the future is bright, but we do seem to be rebuilding a bit in several weights. We were spoiled a bit with 4 of the top six USA wrestlers of all time competing at the same time. Snyder still going strong and Dake will adjust to 86… not sure if Burroughs is done or not yet? Honestly I think there’s a better chance we see JB or Nolf at 79 than Dake or Chance. No way Dake concedes to Valencia IMO. Chance probably could go to 79 but he spent a lot of time bulking up to 86, so I doubt he wants to go backwards on that. We always seem to have a first year team member burst onto the scene with a medal, so I think we do get at least one or two from the weights you listed. Mesenbrink took it to Carr who just beat Takatani, so he should medal. Hendrickson is certainly capable too. If we add in Brooks and Burroughs/Nolf that’s a pretty darn good team.

The most elite athletes in America are all heavyweights. LeBron James (250 lbs), Aaron Donald (280 lbs), Aaron Judge (282 lbs), Gable Steveson (270 lbs). Only wrestling makes special rules to allow smaller, less athletic guys to have a chance to compete.* *yes, I'm trolling

Oh, the irony. Or karma. If the claims against the prosecutor in this case are treated the same way, she could be facing felony charges that number in the hundreds.

Grey is a much better coach. He has been in that roll since his injury redshirt season, he’s going to be there until he retires. With his background he basically has bergen catholic and delbarton on lockdown, you can pull down 4 AA’s all day long just recruiting those two rooms. Now BC just needs to get dave bell back in there somehow.

I would agree Dake would have no problem with Messenbrick.

Would Mike Grey just be pushed aside?

Cornell HC or bust
