TD Fernandes decides it. 6-3 is the score. Cornell on top 24-13. The Big Red are all happy way up on the frozen tundra of Ithaca. Tootles everyone! D3

In case anyone cares... there's a nice crowd at this dual! D3

This was primarily an organic peaceful protest, with less than 1% of attendees charged for breaking the law, and primarily for trespassing. Law enforcement entrapped several radical people in advance of and during J6. A relatively small number of attendees were charged with sedition, etc., type insurrection charges. --- The most common charges have been entering or remaining in a restricted federal building or grounds. How does trespassing, even for an extended period, lead to control of a county? Of an estimated 120,000 attendees, ~1100 have been charged with trespassing. (1%) How many people were arrested inside the capitol with guns? Zero. How many people were arrested outside the capitol with guns? Some. Was there violence? Yes. Did Trump organize an insurrection? He was not charged for it. Has anyone been charged with sedition? A few. Was there an insurrection wanted by some? Yes. Say more about it. The overwhelming percentage were protestors and demonstrators, a small percentage were rioters, and a relatively few were charged with insurrection-type charges (sedition, etc.). Say more about those who planned and wanted a more radical occupation. House of Representative Clay Higgin's research indicates entrapment and conspiracy to set the stage for a compromised election cycle by the government and FBI. FBI staging event for 10 months, operating undercover within online groups across the country and were the first ones to plant the seeds of suggestions of a more radical occupation of the Capitol 200+ undercover FBI assets in the crowd outside and already inside the capital dressed as Trump supporters. Instigated action and acted as tour guides inside the capitol. The capitol layout is too confusing to get around and know where you are going, and it takes a guide to get to the key areas.

He kept the pin streak going

Tough break, JB, good luck in your future endeavors.

Dr. Fix

Nicely put. The focus here should be on the university. Putting him on the mat again was indefensible and actionable. As WKN said, hopefully the student will graduate from college and have a good future without wrestling. Any school who would put him on a mat after last year's atrocities is fully responsible for its reckless conduct. Any plaudits Nickerson might deserve for Alirez are more than wiped out by this disgrace.

I challenge any conservative from this board to admit the events at the Capitol on Jan 06, 2021 was the violent insurrection attempt that it was. Not a single one of you have the intellectual integrity to do so.

Has his mother responded since his departure? Is it someone else's fault?

So not everyone there was an insurrectionist. Correct, nobody was charged with insurrection. Not everyone was a seditionist. Correct, 17 of 120K people (0.01%) of the attendees have been charged with seditious conspiracy. and there was only a little bit of death. Correct, only the trespasser Ashli Babbitt was killed on J6. and a little bit of injuries. That is incorrect; there were a couple of hundred injuries, some pretty serious to cops and civilians. What I haven't verified is who struck first. The recently released footage clearly shows cops shooting high-velocity rubber bullets and flash-bang grenades into the crowd. You can see civilians bleeding, hole through the side of one guy's cheek, etc. There are claims that the cops shot first without being provoked. oh and Tucker told us what to think. ??? Rep Clay Higgins, the former cop, does most of the talking in the above video and is investigating the FBI. I am not denying any of the assaults, etc. I do question the framing. (So did Pelosi's daughter). This isn't an insurrection like anything I watched in the movies. Broadly, the lack of guns, gun shootings, bombs, organization, etc. from the civilian side, coupled with mass peaceful civilians... the underreported facts go against the media narrative. This wasn't anything close to what one imagines...

Pletcher and Moore would like a year back...

At some point, you need to move on with adult life, go the senior route, and allow age-appropriate college kids to wrestle in the limelight. Just my opinion.

Beat Lewis in the 3rd place match

Yianni was just shy of his 19th birthday (like by three weeks or so), so he was also 18 when he won his first.

That would be Pat Milkovich 18 years and 3months( 126 NCAA champion) and Lee Kemp 18 years old and 2 months (150 NCAA 2nd place). Those were the good old days.

These are @Hammerlock3's favorite teams. Hoping for no ducks today

I think we're all ready for this one, sport fans! Playing at the friendly confines of Cornell. D3

Yup. Peterson should haven’t wrestled today after getting banged up last night. Started strong but had nothing left after 2 minutes. He looked awful in the 2nd and 3rd. He literally was barely even moving.

That practice has tended to fall out of favor in the recent years. Mainly due to the growing divide between athletics comms people who are already understaffed and overworked and the demanding nature of college coaches who feel those people work FOR them

This seems the more likely scenario.

Gus Miller, who Nash beat in the state finals his senior season, was just awarded the Rimington Trophy for the FCS division as the top center at that level. He, along with his fellow Jackrabbits will be playing for a national championship today.

Is he the one that made this call? It is possible Tina Lillard got this in front of the right person and took it out of his control.

Gomez earned his bachelor's degree in business marketing from Iowa State before adding a graduate degree in educational leadership and policy analysis from Wisconsin last spring. He was named to the Academic All-Big Ten squad (2023) and is a two-time NWCA Scholar All-American.

That's gold, Jerry! Gold!

You know, a lot of people go to college for seven years.

Was In Gill for set up and Mat side. Had many conversations with the long time PSU radio guy, sports info guy, etc. Watched PSU interact with people. I also sat directly behind the Penn State section at the ncaa. As a big OSU beaver fan, and I speak for most, we appreciated Penn State flying across the country for one match that was very close to selling out at 8,540. It’s a huge deal for Oregon State to host PSU. The PSU program is a class act. Hate them if you will, but they try to schedule 1-2 duals a year for the benefit of another program. Others might call it a weak schedule, I call it the good of wrestling. Besides they will decimate everyone so I’m not sure what a tough schedule would be since they already wrestle in the B10. Thanks to PSU for coming out West.

No one asked you. Gfy

Tolerance of child abuse? No. You're better than that. This isn't political. It's a matter of principle.

I believe that if Spencer is 100% then he will be the guy, if not I think it will be Gilman.

Couple that with the fact that Crookham looks BIG at 133 and I think it’s a good hypothesis.

Nebraska 44, Wyoming 3 / Saturday, January 6 125: #14 Jore Volk (WYO) over #2 Caleb Smith (NEB) (Dec 5-1) 133: Jacob Van Dee (NEB) over Cooper Birdwell (WYO) (Dec 7-5) 141: #6 Brock Hardy (NEB) over Cole Brooks (WYO) (MD 15-3) 149: #1 Ridge Lovett (NEB) over #22 Gabe Willochell (WYO) (Fall 1:25) 157: #3 Peyton Robb (NEB) over Cooper Voorhees (WYO) (TF 18-1 5:40) 165: #16 Antrell Taylor (NEB) over Brett McIntosh (WYO) (TF 22-5 5:38) 174: #20 Bubba Wilson (NEB) over Kevin Anderson (WYO) (Fall 0:50) 184: Elise Brown Ton (NEB) over Tyce Raddon (WYO) (Dec 10-3) 197: #13 Silas Allred (NEB) over #19 Joseph Novak (WYO) (Fall 2:15) 285: Nash Hutmacher (NEB) over Mason Ding (WYO) (Fall 2:07)

I understand your point and don’t disagree necessarily. The issue lies in this There are multiple, not single “ehhh”/iffy cases, multiple cases where many people know something is up, or that a person shouldn’t be coaching/be around wresting. But that person has “powerful friends” or litigation could happen and it prevents the right things from being done. Or no one wants to believe.. and all that at least delays the right thing until it it becomes a ticking time bomb thet is going to eventually blow up, but everyone continues like it’s business as usual until it all crashes. Then afterwards, pretty everyone is like “yeah we heard/knew”. Do I have a point.. eh just that things/stories like this don’t come from nowhere and people are starting to get sick of them being ignored. Final point, both Willie/Rokfin and and Saylor/Flo are agreeing on something. That says a lot by itself

You’re not doing any better by trying to use the day to show your ass.

If he and Vito wrestle in the finals (maybe at 125?) will it be the oldest combined age ever? Not counting the post WWII guys or whatever

I'm surprise there isn't a NILrs ... you know to spend a year working on your image.

Could he have taken another red shirt this year for the Olympics and still been eligible for next year?

Cinnabon is the weak link.

Hey look another topic that’s been discussed to death and the answer is easily found with 20 seconds of Googling! Let’s gooooooooo

Is this person actually speaking up for the "Minor attracted person/pedophile" crowd and referring to them as part of "diverse culture?" Reprehensible.

don't even worry about that. He's entirely full of shit. The many paragraphs are there as form of obfuscation and a sign of him panicking. but he can't thrive in obfuscation any longer. we know who he is and what he's about. it's game over.

Even if some of the things you say are legit, you’ve lost all credibility by defending child predators. Get off this forum, and away from the wrestling community entirely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JB has been around forever and does good work. He's not going anywhere anytime soon. You won't get anywhere with that bullshit here. Also you've no clue what goes on in the wrestling world if you think FLO tells JB what to do. Everyone in the wrestling world agrees on 1 thing we don't want pedophiles around.
