That's a condition of the human body no doubt, the ACL is the anatomical weak point when it comes to lateral force delivery up and down the leg. Prior to leg scrambling, it used to be far more common in field sports, especially among female athletes because of the relatively more acute Q angle at the knee. Less than 20 years ago, shoulders used to be the most common injury(purely anecdotal from ~14 years from the late 90's to early 2010's). The evolution of scrambling has made knee injuries the #1 injury. They are a vast second place to knees now.

I was just talking with my brother(a non-wrestler) about this while watching Iowa Okie State. He hadn't watched any wrestling in a few years. Two things have changed in the past decade that have made wrestling far more entertaining, but have done so at the cost of many many knees. Collective skill in leg scrambles and confidence in leg scramble positions has gone up in the past decade, leg scramble fluency is a fundamental requirement for walking into a college room. It is as much a part of defense AND offense as head hands defense and reshots used to be. Concurrent with this evolution, being able to do the splits, front and side has become a prerequisite as well. Wrestlers are pushing their knees and legs to positions and situations that they really aren't meant to go. If you look on most high level teams, half the guys are wearing a knee sleeve or two, or a big knee brace and a knee pad somehow. I can't think of a top team that doesn't have guys sporting fat wraps, braces, or knee sleeves by March. Leg scrambles directly resemble what jiu jitsu, especially no-gi, refers to as leg entanglements, and they are a direct route to some of the most catastrophic submission holds in jiu jitsu. I'm not surprised it happened, but goodness, please tell your wrestlers not to rely on this sort of scrambling for too long unless they have the world's strongest hamstrings (Hamstrings protect the ACL).

Angel making sure everyone knows he is reffing. Is there an award for the most questionable calls?

Impressive conservation of movement in Jamison's wrestling

Not watching but that sounds terrible. PSU is going to win even if they throw me in at 174

If both had full lineups I'd take Nebraska.

Also I have no idea who Darth Caplan from Canada is, but he sounds scary! Someone tell Zane to use the force

Last season it was the 28th of February I believe.

First time watching Ok State this year. Based on this match, their practices consist of two hours of whizzer’ing.

Carter can wear a Nolf like knee brace and wrestle on one leg and beat 80 to 90 percent of the field.

You told me you're fat but used more words than you needed to.

Well, because of Arnold's style, a close loss doesn't say much about his March prospects. I am surprised that he literally tried nothing at the end to win. I think they should pull the shirt regardless

Wow that takedown with :45 left by Caliendo was a thing of beauty.

Did the announcers just describe an upcoming Franek match as "fireworks"?

Woods?

Parco beat Lovett 4-3

He’s downstairs drilling right now

Sparks on FS1!

Not if they threw me in. I'm not just losing matches for them, I'm getting team points taken away left and right. I'm a biter, but I'm not getting DQ'd over that until I really make a scene.

Fehlbergs was correct. This is going to be a 2 answer question: Back in the 20'-40's not wrestling in HS and being discovered during college intramural wrestling tournaments or because someone played football was decently common. However, as time has gone on that happens less and less. Name the last wrestler that didn't wrestle in HS but qualified for the national tournament? AND Name the 2x National Champ wrestler who was an all-state basketball player and only started wrestling in the military.

GWN, i don't think politics is your thing. perhaps start a thread on cats or finger paintings or something.

pre game time lots of orange & black ... don't see no yellow & black

Not a "big" upset, but an upset nevertheless. Nick Babin of Columbia just pinned Jack Maida of American in the third period. Babin was behind 7-6 w/ Maida having over a min of RT, when he reversed and hooked up a cradle. This was Maida's first bout in quite awhile... D3

Also looks like it’s on Fubo for anyone that still has a free trial to use

at this point i really think you should glue yourself to a Van Gogh

Damn.

So Zane Richards may have an easy path if RBY draws to the other side. Nick Lee v Austin Gomez at worlds was a wild one and it looks like 2.0 will decide who gets the slot.

Olympic qualifiers are allowed to compete this week at Pan Am Champs just not the qualifier. That's why we have seen Helen, Adeline, Dake, Snyder, and Parris this week.

#24 Josh Edmond Mizzou 141 beat #8 Cael Happel UNI

For my district in Indiana at a school of 2,000 basketball head coach - $14,000 basketball assistant- $5,000 football head coach - $10,800 football assistant - $5,000 wrestling head coach - $5,000 wrestling assistant- $2,400 We are also the lowest in the state as an overall athletic department relative to our size…..

Nope. But he is one of the 7.2 million unlawful immigrants Biden has let in the country.

2022?

They also have first and last names switched here and there on a few of the sheets, it's just another lovable quirk of our continental qualifier!

to get 3rd?

You should ask Zahid a question like that

Fehlbergs?

I am worried about him as well for Carr and Keegan. I really hope he’s on the opposite side of the bracket from O’Toole. I’m sure there’s a brotherly vibe there from AWA and they’ve likely gone a million times, but Messinbrink is on a war path and with Carr and O’Toole not seeing him until March, it worries me a bit. An opportunity to feel him out ahead of time would be ideal (but also could be an opportunity for Messinbrink). See Carr/O’Toole for the “feeling out” process and result.

I can't wait for his split personality to come back with all this peace and love crap he switches to sometimes...then fly's off the handle and insults everyone and their post the next day...his meds must not be dialed in quite yet.

Its on nation tv broadcast - FS1.

Not much thinkin in that boys brain.

Maybe if this comes to fruition, USA wrestling should step in and sponsor some RTC team duals and a championship tournament? As others have pointed out, there as so many good post high school options for your career path, why should someone who wants to continue their athletic career be forced to go to a traditional “4 year” college? College teams are already working closely with RTCs. Why not have them work together and a kid could be enrolled or not enrolled in the college for their team competitions?

Back to picking fights with me I see...guess you fighting with 99% of the people on here is your new schtick hey?!?! Do you ever think that maybe YOU are the problem, not every single other person??

Believe me if there was an clown emoji I’d give you plenty of them.

No

They even put the Penn State magic into the algorithm
