That's Braeden Davis's coloring hand too.

My wife cannot understand why I took these two days off from teaching to watch wrestling. She got especially upset when I said the kid still needs to go to the babysitter. Hopefully things work out for me

First time Starocci has been taken down all year... Not sure that means much considering he wrestled 3 matches all year.

Blind people would face significant obstacles in competing in pretty much any other sport. I like that we can provide them an outlet in our sport.

I am sorry for that. That is my bad and I acknowledge I have a shitty character. I won't fck around anymore this morning.

The TV moved from my shop to my office. Expected productivity? Low.

I period of sumo, 1 period of greco, 1 period of folkstyle.

Andy Smith, anti-donut, removes the Glaze

Stewart with the most impressive performance of the round so far imo. Absolutely overpowered his opponent, like a dad playing with a 5 year old.

Chael Sonnen clearly did a few nose beers before getting on this broadcast.

It was all a ploy to keep PSU from matching the Gophers record of 10 AA’s

*throws 125 bracket into the trash*

There goes my Steeeevo Watch him as he wins

You guys have no idea…. My daughter scheduled her wedding during the Friday night session last year. Take it from me you can only sneak your phone out of your pocket so many times without catching real hell.

Since we are less than 4 hours away from action I doubt any other changes to brackets or pieces of info to drastically change our picks from changing here are my final predictions 125 - Stanich dec Davis this weight seems least likely to be chalk but these are the best guys I think so whatever 133 - Crookham dec Fix Lehigh with back to back and Fix with his 4th runner up finish 141 - Mendez dec Bartlett Mendez has looked like a dog all year and I think he turns up in KC big time 149 - Watters pin Kasak Wow the top half is dense and the bottom not so much. This weight will be more chaotic than 125. 157 - Haines dec Shapiro Boring picks I know but also an exciting match to look forward to if it happens 165 - KOT dec Messenbrink I’d imagine this is the last match of the night unless they go for 197 174 - Starocci maj Ruth Would love to see that last name in the finals again but Starocci is inevitable 184 - Keckeisen maj Plott Kinda Keckeisen next topic for me 197 - Brooks dec Hidlay Yeah they will probably make this the last match of the night and no one will blame them 285 - Kerkvliet maj Bastida The match is kept close but after Bastida goes for broke Kerkvliet secures the major decision Penn St with the team trophy Watters MOW

Ballsy move with the babysitter but I like it lol….. I take these two days off from work too every year

Try not to hate me too much after this. I was supposed to be on the road today, but the client got COVID (that still happens?) and asked to reschedule. Ummm, YES.

As I thought...you can't explain your comment

Hopefully Bormet didn’t put KJ in charge of the wolverine’s wake up call.

Like I said 6 to 8 clicks, think I did it is 7 ... nah that was after clicking the link so 8. Ain't track wonderful.

https://pennstate.forums.rivals.com/threads/psu-team-points-at-ncaas.349228/ 25 of 42 PSU fans have them breaking Iowa's team points record. I say they come up well short.

Figured we could get this ball rolling on discussion... we are t-minus ~two (2) hours to greenlight.

Am I wrong that Nagao was worse this year than he was last year? A case of surprising people vs being scouted?

Iowa tied for the lead. STOP THE COUNT!

Phew Bouzakis pulls it out

Volk was rode like a mule

The last two minutes of these basketball games are torture.

Nah. I think Davis wants to get better and actually win a national title so he will probably steer clear of the Brands.

And his altruistic virtue signaling brings to mind the words to the effect of most of history’s worst atrocities have been at the hands of people who claimed to be the world’s benefactors.

Today’s an in-office day for me, but I’ve reserved a huddle room for Session 1. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks @nhs67 .... big screen and computer screens going... snacks ready.... oh and I am "working" from home. GO BEAVS!!!

No...she isn't. Also, does your partisan crap run so deep that you can't bring any sort of criticism to a D?? She is wrong, is always wrong, and is a terrible politician...if you can't see that you are nothing but a blow hard partisan hack. You are the type of person who blames all the ill will in our country on R's and gives all the credit to the D's for anything good that happens. And you babble incoherently on top of it with your virtue signaling and victimhood mentality.

AOC is still working on the three branches of government

Rumor has it that Brands has already reached out to bring him to Iowa on a twelve figure deal.

Davis' walk out music for the final has been leaked.

The benefit of Sta(l)rocci is he is going to beat anyone in NCAA wrestling at 75% right now, even Lewis. The problem is that he isn't at 75%. He is at 100% until he plants his knee wrong or gets in to a scramble situation where he can't control the direction his knee is facing while his knee is bending. At that point he is some percentage value closer to 0% than 100%. He knows how to wrestle Lewis. He has shown that. I am not worried about a Lewis match for him. If I am Sta(l)rocci, or his coaches, I am worried more about a guy with a smothering mat game, someone who is lightning fast in neutral and can get to legs, or someone who wraps up legs in transition quickly. It probably isn't someone with one of those attributes that can beat him, if he wrestles smart - which he will. Wrestlers in his path to a title that fit at least one of those attributes: - Adam Kemp - I have Thompson beating Kemp, so no worries there. - Shane Griffith - I have him meeting him in the semi-finals... I think Sta(l)rocci just has too much horse for him, though - Edmund Ruth - I don't have him making the finals. - Cade DeVos - I don't have him making the finals. In short, I don't see anyone beating Sta(l)rocci this weekend.

Before the finals the 3 most likely are Lewis, Davis and Lovett

No one wants to listen to Burroughs push for the pushout and talk about how great freestyle is at folkstyle nationals. Stick to the matches I don't want their opinions on the rules.

Maybe your sub conscious is telling you something. Captain America's sense of personal responsibility and duty is a defining trait. His is not a victimhood advocate. He is not a blame shifter.

Somehow, I do picture Peter Lorre as a fan of the NCAA'a and trying to keep up with watching the ESPN+ feed on top of navigating Trackwrestling's NCAA site.... Screaming: "It's HORRIBLE!!!" "I Must Watch ALL of it!!! D3

Laying in bed tossing and turning, and praying that I'd float 1.5 lb overnight and not have to put on the sweats and jog too much in the morning.

Most likely but why not spike your kool aid the night before and get a little crazy on Crunk Juice

Track is a train wreck...

I love Rock Harrison and Shane Sparks. They are both awesome in my opinions. DC is great though. Really good addition

Correct. No harm done, as the alternate mechanism was established for just such occasions. But someone's got an axe to grind, it seems.

"Well-cher" or "Welsh-er"?

Doing whatever he wants? If a rule or by-law was broken by Coach Sanderson, Coach Manning would have a point. None have been. There's probably a lot of frustration on his (Manning's) part, as Wilson did have a have a good case for an at large compared to others - similar to some universities and their situations of not receiving bids to the NCAA basketball tournament. Deserving parties are commonly overlooked. It happens. Side note, it's funny to see how much Cael Sanderson lives in other coaches heads. Manning's projection and whining is just another example.

Bono was screwed in the Dapper Dan against Kolat and hasn't been right since.
