  1. You could make an argument that Tier 1 and 2 could be combined. Anyone outside those tiers would be a huge surprise to make the finals.
  2. Had Enough Wrestling For the older folks it means burnt out, lost their mojo, no motivation
  3. Per the PM's they were actually colluding with each other. The other stuff they were talking about... let's just say we are going to keep this site free of muck.
  4. Yet again the Simpson's predicted it!
  5. Him and Hershall Walker need to debate
  6. Rocket mortgage and Super Nintendo world
  7. Let's face it the Clintons are responsible for millions of deaths yet are such good criminals there will never be any charges. Too bad Trump and the Republicans are really poor criminals.
  8. Most, if not all, DI coaches know what goes on in the room, just are too hard headed to implement changes as they claim Penn State only does it due to the recruits they get. As I stated the Brands brothers could never implement that type of demeanor and mindset in their room. Listen to the top coaches and wrestlers talk, the Penn State guys talk about the sport in a different manner. Their mindset is the biggest difference when you compare them to others.
  9. The "secret" isn't hard to figure out if you have half a brain. Their technique is not exponentially better than the others. Their conditioning is not exponentially better than the others. The difference is how they approach the sport and the mindset they have developed from the top(coaches) down(athletes). Someone compared Cael talking about wrestling to Spencer Lee on Twitter. Cael was relaxed saying that wrestling is a game and he likes to play games. Spencer basically said winning and losing is like life or death. To the Penn State wrestlers winning or losing doesn't define them and that is the biggest difference. Why are they able to reverse so many losses from Big Tens? It's mainly because of the mindset and how they view the sport. The thing is Tom and Terry could never implement this type of mindset, that's not how they are wired. Add in many other coaches that are of the Iowa style and old school mentality.
  10. They get lots of information on the boards and some of the personalities got their start as forum posters.
  11. I can't stop reading this as AL Czar wondering who he is.
  12. I didn't realize they changed to those weight classes this year. I would hate to be a PIAA coach as they have had about 16 different sets of weights the past 3 years. Here are the NFHS standard weights for 12, 13, or 14 weight classes just so everyone is a little less confused. (12) 108 lbs., 116 lbs., 124 lbs., 131 lbs., 138 lbs., 145 lbs., 152 lbs., 160 lbs., 170 lbs., 190 lbs., 215 lbs., 285 lbs. (13) 107 lbs., 114 lbs., 121 lbs., 127 lbs., 133 lbs., 139 lbs., 145 lbs., 152 lbs., 160 lbs., 172 lbs., 189 lbs., 215 lbs., 285 lbs. (14) 106 lbs., 113 lbs., 120 lbs., 126 lbs., 132 lbs. 138 lbs., 144 lbs., 150 lbs., 157 lbs., 165 lbs., 175 lbs., 190 lbs., 215 lbs., 285 lbs.
  13. College athletes should not be allowed to bet on ANY college sport. They have too many inside connections even if they aren't on the same college team. Think of how many off season dual teams wrestlers have been on and friends they have throughout the sport. How many Iowa non-starters could send a buddy info that Spencer is only 50% and to bet against him pretty easily?
  14. PA is doing their own thing unfortunately. They aren't even adopting one of the NFHS weight set options.
  15. Most states will officially adopt the NFHS 14 weight class set this year.
  16. The 30 minute rule is much needed as 45 minutes is way too much. However, I don't see it affecting tournaments all that much. A long tournament is going to be a long one with the wait period shortened. If it's originally a 10 hour day, making it a 9 hour day is still long. The best way for tournament directors to take advantage of the shortened wait time is to add mats. For instance a 16 man full bracket placing 8 is 420 matches. Over three mats that is 140 matches per mat, on four mats its 105, and on 5 mats it's 84 matches. At about 5.5 minutes per match you go from 12.8 hours to 9.6 hours, to 7.7 hours without any breaks.
  17. Drag queens with guns, what a conundrum for the bigots.
  18. I know that, but you quoted a reply that was talking about 6 matches in a day.
  19. Allowing six matches in a day won't make tournaments quicker. 10 hours in a gym makes my ass hurt.
  20. He's a great guy and still attends NCAA's regularly.
  21. Elon broke the login on web browsers today.
  22. He is likely out of DI eligibility.
  23. How many national champions do they have?
