First look at Zahid at 97kg:

T-44s? T-54/55s? T-72s? Some other crap that should be in a museum? Because that’s about all they have left. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why are you such a weirdo?

ASU continues to stockpile the lighter weights.

Ha, only if they don’t get torched going through Ukraine first.

If wishes and buts were candy and nuts then we’d all have a good Christmas. Enough making excuses for Gilman. He’s a professional multi-time world medalist. If he had a bad cut then he has no one to blame but himself. No. Excuses. Richards is the same age, made the same weight, and beat him two times in a row including the second match 6-7 hours after weigh-ins.

This is oddly specific...

So this last year would have been Junior eligible correct? I believe he qualifies for OLY-shirt. Use it. Transfer to ASU. Have Pierson wrestle as a True Frosh. Bucket list shit, gents. https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/50841/manville-mason/profile

I dont get it. If doing a semi prepared pod cast what is there to get so excited about to find it necessary? I mean sure if you are sitting on your back patio enjoying morning coffee and newspaper and a python slitthers out of the side yard and swallows your pet Maltese whole then sure but otherwise ...

That's freaking impressive, and man, that has to make you question cutting weight if he is showing up 8 pounds light and outplacing all but 3 people in the nation at 197.

Look for my book, Cursing on Podcasts and 30 Other Ways to Piss Off Old People on Amazon. Use promo code "**** off!" and get 20-*******-% off your purchase. Personally, I don't do it, but sometimes it's okay for comedy or emphasis. I had one person who I interviewed curse, a very mild one, though, maybe a Cadet-level curse, and I can't even remember if I left it in or not. It was the one you say in front of your parents at age 12 to get a reaction. If I ever tried to live blog an ILLINOIS dual, that would be different. Just thinking about it has me imagining what I'd say about Patrick McKee. Some of the most vile epitaphs you can wrap your mind around, and I don't even know the fellow. Rivalries kind of get me going. I guess what I'm saying is time and place.

Now he can go back to having true “Iowa Style” practices with three hours of live wrestling followed by two hours of buddy carries up CHA steps. When you have this much talent, who cares if you burn out and injure your starters by Christmas. Next man up!

Russian athletes should stroll into Paris on tanks.... (Is he trying to keep them out???)

Listening to Mattalk podcast about final X. Looking to try more podcasts, hear more voices. Plenty of F bombs. Even a ‘suck a d-ck’ and the word is not duck. hmmm. Ok. Few weeks back listened to a Bloodround podcast. Woah. Cursing / Fbombs the norm. Guy even talking about railing his wife in the shower. Both eating it up. How old are they? 40 I think. This combined with no actual critical analysis or insights .. dropped that podcast from the list. Guess I’m old. Expect some degree of professionalism. Curse here and there, I get it. Trying to make it a convo. But using F Bombs like it is a preferred word … nah.

Still important to mid-lower level teams, but not as important to programs with a lot of money to hand out in NIL.

His specialty...

Ah....I missed that thanks

A few gents did the last go.

And whoever said Carlson was Classy? Triple C let’s go.

Thanks Fadz. Flyingcement answered earlier.

Yes, one of us has intimate knowledge… which, is why one of us said what they said… take it however you want…

What is your problem with the tweet?

Oh, you know, just hoping two of you aren't big enough assholes to take cheap shots at one of our best athletes on an internet forum. One who has represented our country incredibly well and never been afraid of a challenge. Especially when at least one of you has intimate knowledge as to what these athletes have to go through to try and be the best in the world, only to get injured at the last minute.

Assumptions that anyone critical of pride month is hateful and a homophobe… Clowns. The slacktivism does more harm than good.

Play crap shoot with a new random coach instead of going to the coach of their choice? Yeah sure lol

The Rev. James Brown sez: ... and Jake sez: But duz jimminy sweetbunz sees it??? (mmmmm, not so much... ) D3

Damn Yoshimoto is tough. To give Susaki a scare like that. Probably good for Susaki to have someone in Japan that can make her sweat.

Well ... I heard @ILLINIWrestlingBlog still enjoys morning newspaper with coffee and his Maltese at his side ... and yes there are pythons lurking just past his side yard .. but sure .. ask him.

The replies really show how many pieces of shit there are in the community. No wonder it’s a dying sport

Northern Colorado quietly putting together a decent roster.

He's staying at OSU.

Bob's the one with a "pretty strong agenda," his agenda seems to be to stay out of our way. I commend him for adhering to this tough approach.

Can confirm... actual weight on Day 2 of National Duals. I believe they had an allowance that day too... I imagine Brooks weighed more by 5:00 PM that day.

? like this ?

didn't he pull Real Woods just like, uhhhh, last year?

the far left (or any zealots for that matter) have never been to consistent in any of their "logic"... they can still proudly display their flags, but, only on their property... who can not see the validity in that?

Mastrogiovanni to Northern Colorado

Bloodround is definitely explicit for sure, and have some not so politically correct convos. I recently stumbled across these guys on YouTube who aren’t bad, can’t remember the amount of cursing: Cayden Henschel’s new podcast (mostly interviews) isn’t bad either

I added Bloodround to the network feed a few weeks ago as the two are friends of mine. Show is labeled explicit. It’s the only show on my network that is. Even has a disclaimer in the show notes. I rarely curse on my shows.

Maybe we should entertain a limit on how many transfers any school can net in a single year. Is 2 a good number? It sucks seeing smaller name schools get screwed over year over yead

This is true and why folks had better order @ILLINIWrestlingBlog's new book Wrestling Celebrations and Thirty Other Ways to Piss Off Old People while they can, its gonna be selling like hotcakes at Merry Ann's!

it' Zane over Gilman and it's not close. Zane was never really close to making a team before and he dethroned a perennial medalist. Nick Lee had already beat Yianni. Chance had already beat JB.

Yikes, and people think there are crazies here. Those are some real crazies. mspart

predicting what John W. does is a fool's errand. i have speculated on it several times but he keeps everyone on their toes. i promise you, his own staff doesn't even know what he's going to do next. there's even a credible possibility that he will resign later this fall.

all this yada yada yada over hot dog water
