Shane liegel wrestled d3. Pretty cool he’s ranked at 16. Would be a cool story if he made the podium.

Great job by Malik Amine on the mic. I don't imagine he has a lot of practice, but he is already doing a strong job.

At the Newberry Open (Newberry College, SC; NCAA D2) both of Newberry’s coaches are competing (149, 184) as a result of a fundraising challenge. I can’t help but feel as a fan of the sport that we need more of this! https://www.trackwrestling.com/opentournaments/MainFrame.jsp?newSession=false&TIM=1706461466768&pageName=%2Fopentournaments%2FBracketViewer.jsp&twSessionId=ecavakfdqi

8:30 Liverpool v Norwich - we hardly knew ye, Jurgen Klopp 11:00 PSU v Maryland - 2:00 Detroit v San Francisco 5:30 KC v Baltimore Only the couch will get a workout today.

Extend Bono. I love the impact he’s having.

I am hard-wired to root against the heavy favorites, but Keegan O'Toole is hard to root against. Wrestles hard and wins with relative humility.

Don't need to, they already didn't.

or is it switty

You're so witty.

i agree. chill out with that crap @JimmyBT however, Rasta - you intimated similar crap about me in the Jim Jordan thread.

Who believes nhs67?

How does anyone compete with the 10-15 programs that are willing to throw money at facilities and have donor support: Illinois is installing a $14M facility; Iowa is getting a $31M facility. College sports are becoming an arms race, even in a sport that has no true pro league or millions to be made like the average pro in the NBA or NFL.

Joles over Poz is a pretty shocking result..Poz was undefeated and looking great so far counting this year and last (his redshirt year) he’s now 20-2 while joles already has 6 loses already .Poz is seen as a possible top 5 placer in the Rutgers world and community ( he did finish 4th as a true freshman)

Why insult D2 like that?! I say drop them to D3! They could have a dual at Carthage College in Kenosha.

HS freshman, Jacyln Bouzakis beat the NAIA #1 and the NCAA #1...

Storny obviously does a great job with that program, the portal is BS.

Unless there has been a drastic change, they have scholarships. NIL cash I strongly doubt. What happened was the loss of 4 AA's - the three UM transfers and Yayha. And of course Deakin the year before. I'm just guessing the transfers were somewhat unexpected and they were caught short on using available schollys in recruiting. Anyway, it's start from pretty much scratch time. Not sure how they can get recruits like Welch, Tsirtsis etc. in this new $$ age. Could be a rough road ahead. Even Storniolo seems discouraged.

At least it didn't cost Brown the dual. In 1999-2000, Army and Navy wrestled to a 16-16 draw. I'm pretty certain one of the Army wrestlers threw a fit after his loss and cost his team a point. How'd you have liked to be that wrestler on the ride back to the Point from Annapolis?

Shane Liegel needs to do a co-sponsorship with Caleb Fish for Legal Seafoods

I could be mistaken, but I thought all of DeAugustino, Cannon, and Davison were all grad transfers. And that Northwestern has zero scholarships (although maybe do provide some aid, but I have no clue) whereas Michigan has NIL money to throw around, along with 9.9 scholarships, and are another midwest school with top academics

Just looked at Voelker. In his case, he won a pigtail and R1 bout prior to losing in R2. That put him in a spot to run six bouts to place 3rd. I stand corrected.

ionel, you know how karma works. You are setting yourself up for some hotshot bracket busting wrestler to come along with the name Pinfall. Keep your blood pressure medicine close by.

All because they lost Burwikkkkk.

Shapiro has the talent to win the title this year. I'd love to see him vs Levi

Shapiro just made a very good wrestler look very ordinary

i think they should let em wrestle in a wheelchair

He's one of the scariest nerds on the planet

Found my first guy: Larry Quinsel (Boise State), 1999 @ 157. Lost in R1, dropped in consolation pigtail and ran eight straight to place 3rd. Still digging for others.

Good on you. You have the better day.

You could possibly squeeze in half of the Mizzou / Cornell dual at 1:00 (EST)... Oh wait - remove from list, due to ducks.

He'll, Never Walk Alone

It did make THIS forum!

I hate current replay in most sports as I don't think it justifies the stoppage, particularly because they blow the call anyway a lot, and because they can't reverse when everyone knows they should a lot. It's particularly frustrating in wrestling because it's an action sport and a conditioning sport. As a fan the stoppages have noticeably lessened the viewing experience for me. One of the best selling points for the sport previously was that there aren't any timeouts. That's gone by the wayside. I'm not totally anti electronic help. Tennis has been helped enormously by many tournaments going all laser calls. If the ball lands out, a recorded voice instantly yells, "out," and the point is over. There are no arguments at all. Who can you argue with? Also, the players have confidence in the accuracy. This improves play quality, because you don't have players getting doubts in their mind about the fairness of the competition. Someone mentioned balls and strikes in baseball. I actually advocate that they go all electronic on balls and strikes, and get rid of replay for everything else, all other calls stand. Missed balls and strikes affect the outcome of baseball games 10 times more than missed other calls. The players have zero confidence in the home plate umpires, most of whom are not good at their jobs, which are very hard even if you're good at it (ball moving 95 mph, moving a foot or more, large human blocking your view). My understanding is that the minor league experiment, kind of like the old tennis system of challenges, worked very well and did NOT slow down the game. The pitcher, catcher, or hitter immediately touches their hat, and the ump is immediately given the call. That's it. It really depends on the physics of the sport and whether, like tennis, but generally unlike wrestling, they're susceptible to a clear, objective, electronic result. But I start with a bias against because the breaks in action are so substantial, and the results often ridiculous (last minutes of an NBA game are a joke, so long, and they screw up all the time). Another thing and I'll shut up. A lot of the overrules are to me pretty pointless. When a runner slides in safe and then is off the base for .00001 seconds when his foot comes off before his hand comes on, have we accomplished something by calling him out? There are also some situations in basketball where the last person to touch the ball is basically a technicality, it's been knocked out by someone else.

Good for Brown. -1 is so much more interesting than zero.

Sure is interesting that 3 years in Biden suddenly has an idea to shut the border down. - right after trump says he wants to run for President mainly on Bidens open border debacle

That meme pretty much sums it all up. People forget about the choices people are making. There's talk about empathy and caring about others, yet, there is no talk about personal responsibility and personal choice for their actions. Which includes the people trying to come here illegally and the countries in which they are fleeing. I'll never understand the logic people on here use and say these poor people are leaving a country that is so bad, and it is so bad because of the US, but they want to get to the US?? Our government are a bunch of idiots about a lot of things, and we need to make changes, but holy crap, we are a GREAT country and there is a reason so many people want to come here unvetted. Letting people in without any sort of vetting process is essentially wanting us to be like the very countries these people are trying to leave.

How dare you. Take that back.

NEVER! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! D3

I’m sure I could come up with something appropriate…

I had the opposite feeling today, coaches shouldn’t need to challenge as much and official challenges should happen more often. But also I feel like that does mess up the flow of matches. I want the right call so challenges are necessary, they need to make them quick though.

Too many stoppages for my liking. Wrestling is a sport where conditioning is a huge tool and these stoppages take away from that.

Biden should be impeached for allowing this to happen. It’s criminal.

Wonder if anyone with actual human psychology experience would weigh in. (I have zero… other than one psych class a 20 years ago in college). I feel like refs that have the backup of replay just make the easier call then go to the film to review. Knowing they have that causes so many more reviews than necessary. Tempo in wrestling is so much more important than like the nfl or mlb to me. It’s a noticeably different product.

huh? Hey! Some of us assistants are there merely for crowd control, morale support, yelling "SQUEEZE" at random times during a match, and keeping the snack table clean and orderly. Technique?!? Rules!?! Those things are for the young kids like the head coach and recent graduates lurking around the room.

Ernest Benion?

She found that Rasta vibe and it helped her to deal with your angry ass!! Had to mess with ya brother. Great stuff! Yes congrats!

There is another video showing a view of the kid on top sinking in a choke and quickly pulling an arm under an arm, but I can’t seem to post it here from my phone. It was quick and the ref was on top of the position, before Brunson jumped in. So the discussion calling it a merkle isn’t fully accurate but no way do you put your hands on another kid. here’s the FB link to that post though … He shouldn’t be allowed to coach anyone’s kid, let alone his own if this is how he reacts to that quick of a position. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/gqjhkSUU2iHXkEL5/?mibextid=K8Wfd2
