They don't wrestle that many matches now days so I'll ask again: how do you break Cael's record?

I believe the "Maine-iac" may have been more appropriate.

I think the only way would be money and stringent rankings that force athletes to compete to earn a chance for the big prizes. Also don't think you can just piggy back on the UWW tournaments or expect them to become a real pro league. You need to have consistent meaningful competition.

Well.... Ok St threw money at the coach and got the wrestlers.... Iowa threw money at the wrestler and he decommited and is likely going to the aforementioned team... I'm going with coach.

Pretty much. Jay Den Williams from Michigan is #29 on MatScouts big board and is uncomitted.

There will never be peace if Ukraine becomes part of NATO.

Making a TRUE statement is far from parroting anything for anyone. Anyone thinking otherwise is what’s dumb.

It’s 100% correct that Ukraine is demanding to be part of NATO.

I’ll be out there the 8th-22nd. Got a hostel near the city center.

Thats crazy! I hope it doesn't get as bad as basketball did this offseason

Why did Biden not release the docs when he was in office. Assuming he cared help me understand why not?

I'll go for NC State's lineup: 125 Vince Robinson 133 Zach Redding 141 Ryan Jack 149 Koy Buesgens or Daniel Zepeda 157 Jackson Arrington 165 Will Denny 174 Matty Singleton 184 Rylan Breen or possibly TJ Stewart 197 Cason Howle 285 Isaac Trumble There are a couple questions, especially 184-197 with both starters leaving. 149 could be either guy, but they will probably redshirt Zepeda.

30 for 30: When The Flo Comes To A Trickle

They had the best single combined NCAA tournament of any Lehigh duo, but several are in contention for best 1-2. The next closest in terms of team point production at a single tournament were Mark Lieberman and Mike Brown in 1979. On the year Brown and Liberman were more impressive. Brown was 21-3 with 15 bonus wins and Lieberman 21-0 with 20 bonus wins, whilst Rohn was 30-5 with 18 bonus wins and Trenge 34-4 with 17 bonus wins. Rohn had a great NCAA tournament but came in the as 8 seed. Lieberman was the 1 seed, and Brown and Trenge were both 2 seeds. Caruso and Pertiore are probably the best Lehigh 1-2 over the course of a career. Caruso won three titles at 123 and Petitore went 2-2-3 up a weight at 130 during the same period. Petriore's first two years he lost to Uetake in the final. His senior year he was the 1 seed and was upset by David McGuire who went on to win the tournament. Caruso and Peritore only lost 6 matches combined in their career and each had winning pct. over 90%. They were also back to back in the lineup 3/3 years which is more than Lieberman and Brown (3/4), and Rohn and Trenge (2/4). Probably the best Lehigh 1-2 punch all things considered. 2002: Rob Rohn (1st 184), John Trenge (2nd 197); Total (28+23=51) 1979: Mark Lieberman (1st 177), Mike Brown (2nd 190); Total (29+20=49) 1983: Pete Schuyler (3rd 134), Darryl Burley (1st 142); Total (18+24=42) 1978: Mark Lieberman (1st 177), Mike Brown (3rd 190); Total (22+18=40) 1967: Mike Caruso (1st 123), Joe Peritore (3rd 130); Total (23+15.5=38.5) 1965: Mike Caruso (1st 123), Joe Peritore (2nd 130); Total (20*+16=36) 1965: Joe Peritore (2nd 130), Bill Stuart (1st 137); Total (16+20=36) 1966: Mike Caruso (1st 123), Joe Peritore (2nd 130); Total (20*+16=36) 1976: Bob Sloand (4th 126), Mike Frick (1st 134); Total (13.5+21=34.5) 1974: Mike Frick (4th 126), Tom Sculley (1st 134); Total (14+20=34) 1965: Rich Warnke (4th 115), Mike Caruso (1st 123); Total (12.5+20*=32.5) *Caruso had a R32 bye in 1965 and 1966 which limited his bonus point potential. Career NCAA Team point production/Record Lieberman-Brown: (31.5+40+49=120.5), (2-Titles, 2-2nds, 1-3rd, 1-5th)/141-11 .928 Caruso-Peritore: (36+36+38.5=110.5), (3-Titles, 2-2nds, 1-3rd)/113-6-1 .942 Rohn-Trenge: (1^+51=52), (1-Title, 1-2nd)/123-25 .831 ^Trenge did not wrestle in the 2001 NCAA tournament despite qualifying. Rohn was the 11 seed and DNP.

That would be incorrect. Someone is just smart enough to understand that would fall under “not giving up their own sovereignty”,smart enough to understand it is not up to Russia to decide what another country can do to protect their own sovereignty and security, and smart enough to understand Ukraine entering NATO would not impact Russia if Russia didn’t have visions of taking over parts or all of the country through invasions. Meanwhile some are dumb enough to not only fall for, but also parrot Russian messaging.

The landscape is changing. Under pay-for-play an AD might be better served by looking at what has worked for their professionals counterparts (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, and Soccer GMs) that achieved a high level of success rather than past NCAA dynasties. Considering how the national title is decided in wrestling a few great individuals can make an outsized difference. Analysts call the NBA a players' league because 3-4 superstars can win a title and, as such, a single superstar player wields great bargaining power - far more than any coach. The impact of a single wrestler can have on the team standings at NCAAs points to it being a players' league too.

Exactly 32? Ashnault in 2019. Parris wrestled 33 in 2023. noblesse oblige

Aye aye Captain

Ah yes. We knew the lessons were coming after the first post. Carry on Mate...

A "commoner," MPhillips comes from a British military family and served in the Army (hence the Captain). You're still a Captain even if it's a common one.

A Kentucky kid - Luke Ricketts - came outta nowhere really to make quarters at 190. has Mastny next. in that same bracket, it's nice to see Penovich doing so well after his long injury layoff.

I think "The Republicans are protecting the most notorious pedophile ring in the world" is a winning argument. You can throw as many tantrums as you want. All they have to do is release the files. It's the easiest thing in the world, and they're not doing it. Why do you think that is?

Carini's high ranking comes with SR's (Antonio) being removed. and what's left is not very deep. that being said, Carini still has two years of HS left. everyone is recruiting him.

Yes. By all means, tell the commoners...

Where does history say this? Who was the last top 5 big boarder to "flame out?"
