Big downgrade for Iowa to go from Angelo to Anthony.

it's a tough call, imo. working on the final report/rankings now. thought i'd take it to the boards Penn State: #1-PJ Duke (NY/157), #2-Marcus Blaze (OH/141), #18-Will Henckel (CT/184), #22-Asher Cunningham (PA/174), #39-Nathan Desmond (PA, 125-133), #54-Dalton Perry (PA/149) Oklahoma State: #3-Ladarion Lockett (OK/165), #5-Landon Robideau (MN/157), #6-Sergio Vega (AZ/149), #24-Kody Routledge (OK/157), #26-Ronnie Ramirez (CA/133), #50-Austin Johnson (PA/197), #62-Ishmael Guerrero (OK/165), #63-Kruz Goff (OK/285), #72-Beau Hickman (OK/157), #205-Ethan Teague (OK/174)

What’s sick is the wingers that support the terrorists

Being in Mizzou is an announcement. There has been speculation on him heading wherever PK heads or back to Wiscy. Him staying put is absolutely an announcement I think).

Nothing. He just talked about his injury (torn ACL), when it happened (sometime before collegiate duals, but was exacerbated at collegiate duals, what the rest of the season was like and how limited he was (tough and very), and talked about future plans to compete after he's fully recovered. It will be in Missouri, at least according to the interview. There was nothing "announced".

I just won't pick against Dake domestically until proven otherwise.

Dake losing fantasy matchups is a tale as old as time.

This is a complete strawman argument.

After updating the scoring model I decided to looking into why the shifts that occurred had occurred. I was really focused on the seeds in the twenties and thirties as there was some expected smoothing out in that area. And sure enough, the #22, #23, #25, and #29 seeds all had their best ever performance. Though the #27, #31, and #32 had their worst performance ever. But what really jumped out was the #4, #5, and #6 seeds had their worst performance in the 16+ seed era. And it wasn't even close for the #5 seed. This year the 5 seed produced only 3 All-Americans. That is tied for the lowest total ever in the 8 AA era (1979 - 2025). In 1980, when there were also only 3 AA's from the #5 seed they finished second, fourth, and eighth. This year they finished fifth, fifth, and eighth. No #5 seed beat his seed. This year the #12 seed had more AA's (5) than the #5 seed (3). That had never happened before.

He entered illegally but was here legally ... how does that work?

Bono can make anyone hate the sport.

I love it. The better OU gets, the better Bedlam will be

Oklahoma looking now like 125: Beric Jordan 133: Tyson Charmoli 141: Tyler Wells 149: Alex Braun 157: Peyten Kellar 165: Tate Picklo 174: Morgan Mannix 184: DeAnthony Parker / Soldano (RS) 197: Bradley Hill 285: Juan Mora

I doubt his feelings or tactical advise would be that interesting.

the last time dake wrestled zahid at 79kg (2018):

Now do Oklahoma State

What I'm taking is he isn't going 74 again and he isn't hanging around for any other reason than getting an olympic title. Therefore he's going 86, and if he wins he'll hang around. I doubt he thinks valencia can beat him.

So your 100% cool with the stated goal of Hamas to kill all Jews and take over the whole region?

You didn’t comment on that tweet above where that Palestinian guy doubled down on repeating October 7th until all Israelis are dead did you? I think he said something like we will have 1,000 other October 7th until all the Jews are dead.

He's a high level athlete with a steep growth trajectory if what I'm reading about him starting wrestling as a HS sophomore are true. That doesn't mean he's going to be a good or great D1 wrestler, but there's nice upside here for the Hawkeyes, and a perfect bridge to Ludington once Elam went to ISU.

Good analogy and correct. Typically D2/3 guys are gonna struggle against D1. Endene did make the U23 team last year (albeit there were not any top D1 guys in the field) so he is not your typical D2 champ.

He doesn’t seem to be hurting for money, he must be getting paid enough to afford a new construction house, not many college students that can say that.

It depends on the sport, but D3 is often stronger than D2 as there are far more D3 programs (which don't require scholarships), and many of those D3 schools have higher academics than the D2 schools. Wrestling specific I would say D2 and D3 are pretty inseparable and a dual of National Champs vs National Champs would be very close. Edit: just realized replied to the wrong comment. Oh well

Not at all.

Your desires on this issue don't matter That's not how the republic was structured to operate. It sounds like you want to change the entire way the government operates, which is fine, but doesn't just happen because one guy won an election. That's the whole point. We don't have a king, you didn't elect a king. At least, theoretically.

Flip on the telly Wrestle with Jimmy Something is bubbling Behind my back The bottle is ready to blow Say it ain't so Your drug is a heartbreaker Say it ain't so

That's a surprising take for sure...

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Golden rule... simple enough? D3

Some of you are probably wondering if I can see the future, since I posted this topic back in March. All I can say is to hold off on buying Tesla stock for 12 months.

Has the Great Depression hit yet???

He already had surgery after nationals

Olympic weights need to be the same as at the World Championships. No need for more, especially with the attitude of those in charge of Olympic events.

Come on...don't be obtuse...just because they FINALLY got labeled a terrorist organization doesn't mean they weren't terrorizing us before. I just don't get the endless support for violent gang members that if they met you wouldn't care less if you supported them or not, they'd more than likely rob you, or worse, without blinking an eye. Yet you try and normalize them and their behavior by your rhetoric...why do you do that...seriously?? Is it because it is the "in thing to do" for D's?? So ridiculous.

I agree...regardless of the letter after your name people should be held accountable for their actions...I'll wait for you to hold this same standard to a D...and there have been plenty of times a D has done similar things with their electronic devices and you and your ilk were silent or defended the person.

12 weights is over kill. 9 or 10 is good. Maybe keep them the same but get rid of 92 and adjust 86 and 97 accordingly. As for GR, credit to UWW. No clue how a unpopular sport with no women's division continues to survive in the olympics. The only sport in the games that women can not participate in. I'd be interested if anyone can shed some light on this. Unfortunately I think that if/when it finally does get cut, the weights wont go to FS, but to beach wrestling.

Oklahoma State. 3 in the Top-6 > Top-2 & 5 in the Top 25 > 4. I need to go back and update my points scored for each recruiting rank to get an updated idea on what to expect from each.

ahh ... haven't they been designated a foreign terrorist organization?

Behind the scenes. The matches are 1% of the time spent by the athletes.

I wrestled D2. Graduated in early 90s. I had a teammate qualify for the d1 tourney. Another guy, my roommate was 5th in D2 and had multiple wins over qualifiers including splitting with a R12 guy, including a win by major in their last meeting as seniors. A lot has changed in 30 years. The D1s are better at recruiting and don't miss on as many guys. The d1 training and coaching is better than it was, I think. Also the lower divisions don't get to challenge themselves as much against the big boys anymore. My roommate had a much closer match against the r12 guy than he thought it would be in their first meeting. That gave him a lot of confidence. When they met each other again less than a month later, my roommate took it to him and even turned the guy. I'm not sure how much that could happen these days.I mean, I was maybe above average d2 and I would hold d1 qualifiers/top 20 types to a regular decision if I had a decent match.

jesus comes back and sees that a bunch of dip*sh!t*s have named the day he was tortured to death, "good friday." jesus, "Dudes, what the phuck?!"

He crossed the border illegally near McAllen, Texas, in March 2012 when he was 16 years old, according to documents posted on X by Attorney General Pam Bondi. From the border, Abrego Garcia made his way to Maryland to live with his brother, who is a U.S. citizen. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/kilmar-abrego-garcia-deported-el-salvador-trump-immigration-what-know-rcna201708

narrator: he was not here legally

Nebraska outplaced Iowa this year. Their homegrown strategy is working.

The discussion of jacked wrestlers who look 3 weight classes heavier starts and stops with Ryan Deakin. A friend who attended some Stanford duals told me that Deakin is visually bigger than Pat Brucki, who was a jacked 197 lb. multi-AA. It defies logic how Deakin was a 157 lb. wrestler. He would've been big and jacked at 174. Never seen anything like him.

Bulgaria are the ogs of mercenary wrestling. They were using transfers all the way back in the 90s, before it was cool. Soviet developed Nazaryan, Mureiko, were winning medals for them way back. I think it was the wrong way of trying to save a dying wrestling power and the consequences of those choices are still with them today. The rising tide did not lift all, ethnic Bulgarians are not winning medals like in the days of their fathers and grandfathers. I could imagine the frustration of the local Bulgarians. Foreign coaches, training foreign athletes, and everyone else left out in the cold with a vague promise that it will trickle down eventually. And then for all these years of trainers and high level athletes brought in; thirty years of this process culminates in two foreigners and no ethnic Bulgarians winning golds at the most recent olympics.
