Who is Jimmy Cinnabon, I hear you say, A whisper in the air, a name at play. Is he a myth, a man, a fleeting guise? A swirl of questions, like Iowa skies. Does he rise at dawn, at a Michigan lake, Folding stories in the dough he makes? Perhaps he crafts sweetness, a life in a bun, With sugar and spice spun under the sun. Or is he a wanderer, bound to no place, A poet, a dreamer, lost in the chase? Carving his hawkeye like a pastry's swirl, Through the chaos of life, through the endless whirl. Is he a rebel, a fighter, a wolverine? A light in the shadows, a flame in the dark? Or maybe he's quiet, a soft-spoken muse, An welcher of flavor, with magic to use. We wonder, we question, we guess who he cheers, Yet Jimmy remains an enigma to see. For perhaps he's not one, but all we aspire, A name that ignites our hidden desire. So who is Jimmy Cinnabon? Do you know? A keeper of bets, a shadowy glow. Or maybe he’s none of these—just a name, A sweet little mystery, delightfully plain.

Because a lot of the time they are volunteering their time and are doing their best. People who bash new broadcasters learning the sport are the same people who gatekeep wrestling from new fans whenever they get the chance.

The only people saying Lee was going to hang it up are haters. Only a person as tough as, well, Spencer Lee could bounce back from everything he has been through physically and emotionally. Dude is tougher than hell and I don't care what any results are and how many ACLs he tears, I'm picking him to win 2025 worlds. He's going to be a DAWG next September.

FFS boys! This isn't an upset.. Wasn't there like seven pages of this on another thread?

Completely agree. Askren has talked about this a lot. The lesser wrestler wants to keep the exchanges as few as possible. I made the statement after the VT dual, and a lot of people still said it was too early to give much credit to the new coaching staff for their performance, but every dual you see guys hunting for bonus, looking to separate themselves from their opponent. I'd like to see more pace from Spratley, and I think in his 6th year, you just have to accept Amine for what he is. OKST is a lot of fun to watch this season, and I think the mindset of scoring points rather than just doing enough to win is going to make a difference in March. But, of course, we'll see.

Ezra Miller is gonna play Singleton in the movie

Another example of trying to get a little cute with a roll. In this case, I'm not sure how many options he had in that short time.

Robinson looks tough and smart and in shape....

Well and Wyatt wasn't the original 33 seed. He didn't qualify. Someone was injured and pulled out and he was next man up. So more like #34.

I think while it may be tempting to laugh at their expense, for a sport that is dying in numbers, we would be better served to be more inclusive to those that are trying to learn the sport.

When it comes to bong stabbings Fly is like Wkn, he's got all the data, tables and graphs.

... I wish

... like butt hurt or hurt hurt?

Feed went out during Burroughs loss. At risk of being a Flo apologist, people who were in the arena said there was no internet service whatsoever during that time period. I'm sure people would be a bit more forgiving and understanding if that were an isolated incident.

Here's the one I thought of....

Pond scum minnow went out of his way to break Lee vs Ono match but didn't say anything about Zahid vs Brooks. Granted, Lee is the better wrestler and bigger draw...

I don't care who is in power in the US. I have been anti-CCP data collection from the start and will continue to do so. Let Tik Tok users practice free speech, but without CCP involvement.

Good job Flo for putting this together.

Zahid Valencia v. Aaron Brooks as well! More matches to be announced Ono and Spencer will be at a catch weight between 57 and 61kg. Zahid and Brooks will be at 92.

lol Minnow called it the “dual of the year”

I could see it happening. Look at senior year RBY. We all thought he would be unstoppable coming into the season but he wrestled selectively, didn't seem to take the season seriously, then got worked by Vito at NCAAs. I'm not convinced that college wrestling is a challenge or even interesting for Steveson. If he's just going through the motions and his heart isn't totally into it, anything could happen.

Where are you staying? Are you looking to just get to Wells Fargo & back? Anyone else with any questions more than happy to help

It would be a bummer, but what do you suggest? Rokfin? That platform is a joke. ESPN would be nice but I don't think they can be bothered. For what it's worth, I don't recall the last Flo event I watched that had issues. They deserve criticism when events go bad but my experiences have been all positive for some time now

Stewart had the "got it done in march" thing, so you'd think he'd be a near lock, but my god how badly can you wrestle.

There's a lot that's up in the air right now for NCAA athletics as a whole. Until the settlement is finalized (scheduled for April 2025), I don't think you're going to see a lot of big programs making aggressive moves, unless they have a serious outside benefactor that can effect change (like in Stillwater). P5 Athletics budgets are about to be upended. If/once it's clear that D1 wrestling is going to continue in something close to its current format, you could see Bono get shown the door. Until then I wouldn't expect a single extra dollar to be spent on the program that they don't raise themselves.

Where the pastry man wrote that Michigan won

Bouzakis flips commit to PITT...

There is an entire thread on it

I’d love to see him and Henson scrap. They’ll definitely hit in the next Olympic cycle at 65kg

I dont think Nic would do well at 141 and ben seems small for 141. Nics style is so open and he really utilizes his power and explosiveness I think trying that same style at 141 would be a recipe for disaster, it sometimes is at 141. Vince nics younger brother flipped to Pitt so I wonder if Nic may join him there next year.

I agree. If Kerk had PSU's staff for their last matchup he would have won.

Sasso at 157 is interesting

He’s actually 40

Slav finally shoots after 6:40 and Feldman counters it for a takedown. Wins 4-1 and OSU wins a tight dual

Poz wins 5-4 at the buzzer. Shumate took him down 3 times but only got credit for 1. Horrible reffing

I audibly gasped in pain multiple times

NC State is not a dry program. They used to be & at one time they kicked 10 people off the team for testing positive for weed(3 years ago- including some big named wrestlers). Some of the starters(& non starters) continuously test positive for weed but they look the other way now.

I think that had more to do with questioning his toughness rather than stating the wear and tear from his injuries was causing a huge drop in productivity later in his matches

Nicka'sl biggest win in his life was over Myles Martin. Martin was his biggest loss (2x). Bo never made a senior world team as the #1 guy. That is all we need to know. But, yeah.....the best 86 kg in the world?

That is a 6-7-8 punch! A 1-2-3 must begin at 125. See above post for the rules.

Steveson also teched the campbell kid who made feldman look like trash...

Say whatever you want but I freaking love watching this dude wrestle. Total control on the mat. USA wrestling needs him to give it another Olympic run.

Sorry Mr. Durden, you said "ceiling" not his ceiling for this year. If you're talking about this year alone, sure there are 3 absolute monsters in Gable, Kerk, and Wyatt that would limit many, many, of the 285 NCAA champs from the past to mid-AA ceilings. This is by far the most talented top 3 at heavyweight that I can recall over the last 15 or so years.

I didn’t get the impression from the post below that you were only referring to his “ceiling” this year, but may have misunderstood. Although I’m not totally sure what “some some mid-to-low AA ceiling” means, that’s probably a typo my elderly mother would make, I was figuring you meant “same.”

Very cool. I remember one from two season ago:

I can only assume it was a dismal attempt at being humorous.

In a surprise to no one, TikTok would rather vanish like a fart in the wind instead of coming under non-CCP control. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who's got better odds? Hamiti over Mesenbrink or Mineo vs the truth? Edit: The truth of his statement, not Ed "The Truth" Ruth. Just to get ahead of your jokes.

Some salty 1-2-3 punches for Iowa off the top of my head: Lee-Desanto-Woods/Eierman; McDonough, Dennis/Ramos, Marion, Zaputil-Brands-Brands

I think a rule to avoid alcohol during the season is reasonable. A year long rule would make liars and cheats out of most of the team, so counter productive.
