Was thrilled for Caliendo last week keeping the loss close. MM, still.

I think we can ALL agree that this is wrestling & NOT horse shoes or hand grenades.

Amine is not going to AA.  Let's not kid ourselves.

If he's healthy, I believe he does. The path will be very tough though

My probably-idiotic theory is that Caliendo wrestled a much tougher match at Big Tens because he had a lot more time off the scales than he did during prior matches against Mesenbrink. Cal on Saturday night at NCAAs, if he makes it there, will be a full-sized, fully hydrated and nourished, strong as an ox Caliendo. It still may not be enough to take out MM, but I think he'll have his best chance then.

It looks like a good possibility to me.  Likely will need to repeat a win over Steed and then defeat Mantanona.  I might have misread that, it could be Ramirez.

MM is something else. He's that dude in practice who fights every single takedown in a drill session and jams your fingers or pokes you in the eye bc he's always jerking this way and that.
