Maybe a spiral ride works in the other direction!

Hodge Watch: Seth Nevills is undefeated at 285 with a 100 percent bonus rate. Just pinned MD's heavyweight. He also weighs 280 so he has room to grow.

Has Glory considered removing the arm to more effectively make 125? A bonus side effect is that Lee would not be able to run his patented arm bar tilt to half nelson series without both arms. Just thinking out loud here folks.

A lot of 80s movies had some homoerotic overtones. I blame it on all the cocaine.

If you listen to FRL pickems you are chuckling at the Barnett result. Askren bet on Barnett 3x, got wrong each time, so he went for McKee this time. Amusing. (I figure this will be a trigger post for some)

Jaron Smith actually wrestled in that Michigan State dual...at 184 pounds!

Gymnastics meet...

Maybe it's the pic...

Eagles by 9. They're the better team and Mahomes is injured. Here are your Super Bowl wrestlers https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2023/February/06/Wrestlers-in-the-Super-Bowl

Sandoval kept trying to make something happen. He didn't back down. Unfortunately, his defense sucks. The 1st time RBY jumped over Sandoval was cool. The next 3 attempts gave off punkish vibes

ESPN: we've got split screen IL v ISU wrestling and CMU v ISU women gymnastics with music no audio announcing. Who are these fans of either sport who want to watch the other much less both with half screen size at same time? Don't think this grows fan base of either sport.

I'm not too proud either sir.

Word. Posts on message boards are by definition cries for attention.

Is this thread @jackwebster's vision quest to "come out" to the forum? I support you buddy.

The Jobs Report was very good during the Clinton administration.

Wait a seond. Why do my adds look like this?

This makes me think back many years to a friend I had in college. We were both struggling to make any sense of some BS Social Science elective we were taking. I think it was Philosophy, Psycology or something where we were always looking for the reasons behind our actions. One day in class the professor brought up baseball players spitting. He explained that there were various reasons for it. The only two I can remember were because everyone else was doing it you had to follow along, and because someone you admired did it. My buddy muttered "Sometimes you just gotta spit" just loud enough so everyone could hear it. The class roared its approval. Sometimes you can way overthink things. Sometimes you just gotta spit. Sometimes you gotta strip to make weight. End of story. I sure didn't see all of this in the movie. Ignorance is Bliss, I guess.

Ay caramba.

If either of you had any first hand knowledge in intelligence or DoD you'd be smart enough to realize no one here is actually solving the world's problems but by all means, please continue.

Achilles (Penn State) vs. the Tortoise (Maryland) The Tortoise challenged Achilles to a race (match), claiming that he would win as long as Achilles gave him a small head start. Achilles laughed at this, for of course he was a mighty warrior and swift of foot, whereas the Tortoise was heavy and slow. “How big a head start do you need?” he asked the Tortoise with a smile. “Ten meters (points),” the latter replied. Achilles laughed louder than ever. “You will surely lose, my friend, in that case,” he told the Tortoise, “but let us race, if you wish it.” “On the contrary,” said the Tortoise, “I will win, and I can prove it to you by a simple argument.” “Go on then,” Achilles replied, with less confidence than he felt before. He knew he was the superior athlete, but he also knew the Tortoise had the sharper wits, and he had lost many a bewildering argument with him before this. “Suppose,” began the Tortoise, “that you give me a 10-meter (point) head start. Would you say that you could cover that 10 meters (points) between us very quickly?” “Very quickly,” Achilles affirmed. “And in that time, how far should I have gone, do you think?” “Perhaps a meter (point)—no more,” said Achilles after a moment’s thought. “Very well,” replied the Tortoise, “so now there is a meter (point) between us. And you would catch up that distance very quickly?” “Very quickly indeed!” “And yet, in that time I shall have gone a little way farther, so that now you must catch that distance up, yes?” “Ye-es,” said Achilles slowly. “And while you are doing so, I shall have gone a little way farther, so that you must then catch up the new distance,” the Tortoise continued smoothly. Achilles said nothing. “And so you see, in each moment you must be catching up the distance between us, and yet I—at the same time—will be adding a new distance, however small, for you to catch up again.” “Indeed, it must be so,” said Achilles wearily. “And so you can never catch up,” the Tortoise concluded sympathetically. “You are right, as always,” said Achilles sadly—and conceded the race (match)

You guys are really coming out of your shells for this one.

Except of course Lee is great on his feet and good on bottom

It was weird. Trying to figure out what actually was injured, given how he seemingly limped off. Definitely hurt his right shoulder, though. Maybe it hurt so bad it affected his gait?

Fake news. Michigan State's duals only count when they win... to me...

Setting this Super Bowl thread up a little early because the suddenly Fearsome Turtles are (very slowly!) arriving to University Park to battle a hungry Lion. They are also on a mean (nearly unprecedented) one match Big Ten win streak. And they are led by an 8th Year (yes, you read that right) Senior Citizen at 285.

Huh, I guess every guy who gets down to skivvies for weigh ins or naked in the locker room or scouts his opponent should be thought of the same way. Quite a good chance they are gay. Thanks for posting this. Really making me think. Didn’t see any mention of the privileged white racism that never was addressed in the movie. Step up your game. (eye roll)

McKee Barnett match was fire. Those two are legit All Americans at 125

Good point. I’m out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was by fall, but late in the match- 3rd period, me thinks. Martin was up by 2 or 3 when he stuck Smith. But if your point was that they graduated the same year, then point taken.

This is sort of trippy

Wow. All sorts of writing. Wrestler in control cannot ‘lock hands’ around torso unless nearfall is happening. Not imminent, not almost. Done.

I try but sometimes 'better' is difficult.

Pride. He injured his pride.

He was holding his shoulder but limping off the mat? So .... two injuries?

Really admire that kid (well maybe not a kid anymore). All kinds of injuries but he keeps at it because he loves it.

Your perspective is exactly correct.

i was never a fan until i saw him live at cain's... it would have been early 90s... i had no idea what an actual guitar player he was until then... that old man played for 3 hours straight no breaks... he was still playing when we finally had enough... it was a seminal moment for me...

Jaron Smith v Myles Martin was the most anticipated matchup at the 2014-15 Maryland All-Star Tri-Meet It has been quite some time for and old fart like myself but I think Martin won by tech fall.

That doesn't seem to be very helpful to anyone really...

Barely has any reversals in his career, how good is he actually?

That is the magic of sports. To see something seemingly impossi­ble, reminding us that if one person can do it, then we all somehow share in that achievement. I'm getting more sentimental with each passing year, but I almost shed a tear just from hearing that monologue again. Time to rewatch the film

He's not the strongest P4P ever at 125 either, that title belongs to Anthony Robles. To be fair, zLee's chicken legs are inching him closer to Robles.

@BobDole i think this forum would benefit if there was a dislike button that if it reaches a certain number of dislikes, dumb threads like this can be removed

Elon Musk owns a company called the Boring company. They specialize in digging holes.

You are such an idiot

there is going to come a day when i don't "have" to go to these events... i already get a little choked up thinking about it...

nothing makes sense anymore... maybe i should try and watch a folk match tonight...

What infuriates me is the manufacturer preventing you from fixing your owned equipment with software lockout. HP printers, you used to not suck.
