Thank you for the updates.

I sometimes like to take the meatloaf out like 15-20 mins early. Slice it in half lengthwise. Later sone fresh mozzarella and maybe tomatoe/sauce/whatever. Re assemble put top back on. Finish

WrestleStat is now listing Chance McLane (formerly of Oklahoma State) as a member of Arizona State's wrestling team for next season. I hadn't seen or heard anything on that myself. Flo Wrestling transfer tracker does not show him as going to ASU. https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/10776671-2023-ncaa-d1-wrestling-off-season-transfer-tracker

USA Men's Freestyle won the first two weights that were held today. Jordan Burroughs won 79kg and Michael Macchiavello won 92kg. Two other former NCAA wrestlers also medaled at 79kg- Nester Taffur (Colombia, Boston) and Shane Jones (Puerto Rico, Old Dominion). Would be nice if either of those two schools still had wrestling, but alas. Women's wrestling won the team title with five champs- Hildebrandt, XMP, Velte, Forrest, and Amit. Biggest story was several big time upsets: Dom Parrish lost twice to finish 5th, Kayla Miracle was pinned in the semis and won bronze, and Olympic champ Helen Maroulis lost in her 1st round match and DNP'd. Men's Greco won six weights (Cuba won the others) and the team title as well. Kamal Bey had a nice win in the finals, nice for guys like Duffield/Scott to bring home gold as well. Copied from a friend.

psychic. jk. Willie said it on The First Word yesterday.

Gable took a year off and got better. I can only imagine how good I am after 30 years off.

No worries - I agree - the potential is there - Chance and Legend will give them tough matches. I agree also that Legend looked small and I think he would be much better at 157. Wick seemed bigger and I could see him putting on size.You are right about Daschle - I think he is better suited at 174, but If Rowley does end up at Poly then Daschle will go 184. He has the frame for it and those Lamers keep growing. Crazy to think that Cal Poly could have 3 Lamers and 4 Crecent Valley HS kids in their starting lineup if they get Rowley. Pac 12 needs to replace the firepower of Griffith, Woods, Truax, etc.

Good get. Cal Poly is going to be solid next year again. That 149-184 stretch might be the best in the P12 next year 149 - Lamer 157 - Lamer 165 - Wick 174 - Rowley (Kemp?) 184 - Priest Not sure Kemp is coming back, though.

Is there some date at which you can no longer exit the portal? In other words stuck where you were.

To enter without penalty, right? They don't have to 'commit' yet, do they?

Top 5 team scores for Freestyle... 1 US 240 2 Canada 136 3 Puerto Rico 123 4 Cuba 105 5 host Argentina 81 D3

Torreblanca has been around a while, too. He has got to be mid thirties by now? Didn't he start down at 74 KG for them too?

"Spills?" Doesn't that generally refer to gossip and something with negative connotations? He said he changed the culture, they focused more on Wrestling and then talked about some things they did at practice...

Facundo, if healthy, will have something to say about that. Loser takes an OLY? Or maybe Facundo goes up if Starocci isn’t coming back? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No we won't see. He's already majoring him in the room.

Cheers. Well done. Take the rest of the weekend for you.

No probs, nhs... glad to be of service. D3

Bradley wins it 2-1 and gets the USA it's 9th gold for the freestyle team. (Is THAT a record for the US?) D3

Diaz is put on the clock AGAIN... now the lead switches back to Bradley. D3

1-0 Bradley at the break (push-out point.) D3

Final match of the Pan American Championship. Dom Bradley wrestling for gold vs Diaz of Venezuela. D3

Colorful match... for Kyle! 14-3 TF w/ the Cuban getting a caution for, what appeared to be a double wrist lock. Another gold medal. D3

WHAT THE HE DOUBLE TOOTHPICKS WAS THAT?!?!? (@ the 5:10 mark of the bout... a reverse cartwheel by the Cuban?) That did him a lot of good... NOT! D3

Snyder's up next vs Torres of Cuba. D3

Moore's sprint came a minute ten too late. Torreblanca's a beast. D3

Meanwhile... Moore neck must be awfully sore from Torreblanca's torrent of head snaps! D3

True that... more towards 79 imho. D3

If only Hall could go 74 or 79.

Okay... color me impressed. Hall gets the tech over the muscle-bound (&bigger) Brazilian. Huzzah to you, sir! YOU get the bronze. D3

Quite a size difference between Nicoletti and Hall! D3

They’re probably sharing the same Pentium based server in Bratislava.

Hall will be up next for Bronze... going up against the muscular Brazilian, Nicoletti. D3

TF for Dake w/ 48 sec left in the 1st. Gold medal #5 for the USA... D3

Dake is up next... vs Franklin Gomez for PR. D3

The problem is that over the past 5 years, he was never actually given a chance to properly heal. It is the single worse mismanagement of an athlete in terms of health that I have ever seen in the sport. People forget just how successful he was as a junior on the world circuit-it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would compete for years winning senior world medals. And now if he ever makes a world team, I will be thankful and view it as an incredible comeback story. Anybody criticizing Lee for not competing at NCAAs or the Open has not followed his career-the guy has done nothing but compete when he should have been healing. It's true that people will remember him as a great wrestler regardless, but the sacrifice of his personal career for the Hawkeyes to get team points at NCAAS is one that will unfortunately probably be forgotten. He was every bit the wrestler that Gable Steveson was and could have been one of the best US wrestlers of our time.

Wow... that was quick. Tombe' for Retherford (... and gold.) D3

Retherford is up next vs the Canadian Quinton... D3

Challenge LOST... Yianni gets the gold w/ a 4-1 win. (Damn good bout! Either way you look at it... great action.) D3

Yianni gets the TD w/21 sec left... wild scramble at the end... challenge by Tobier's corner. D3

4 - he is no longer on life support

I like your, 'take.'

This is what I mean; the school can monitor compliance but as I understand it they aren't supposed to coordinate opportunities. I think the clearinghouses are a combination compliance system and wink. To be clear, I don't have a problem with any of it either. If it were up to me I'd let the schools openly bid on players.

Adeline Gray would like a word as would Tricia Naughton-Sanders

Hard to say with Mineo. Usually it's wrong, but maybe part of it was based on a partial truth at one point in time.

Finally admitting that the rest of your content is facetious in every way.

If he takes over as coach and wins 15 NCAA titles in 21 season - time then to commission a Statue. He is a very good wrestler. No doubt about it. If you really want a Lee Statue - we have some Lego's we can sell you so you can make one.

Jimmy - I'm a fan of yours and support most of your contributions here, but this thread is just dumb.
