Imagine doing all this, risking your rep over trying to force a kid to stay at your institution. And not even like some crazy high level kid! And a kid you literally just brought somebody in to wrestle their weight! What a needlessly self-inflicted wound.

Chris Bono, despite being a Floridian, is definitely Not My Homie.

Thinking about this for 15 minutes and I still can't believe. It's like Bono thought he was the only one who got the email, so he could just post whatever he wanted and go unchallenged.

Geezus, Bryan Snyder went Nas on him. That's an "Ether" level response.

Just to be clear, Minnow's first report was that Glory would be up at 133. I know he backtracked, but it couldn't possibly be funnier that he wrestled his very next possible match at 125.

Eh. Andonian has been hurt all year. The Mizzou guys have been wrestling. It's a little different. As most of you are aware, I am not a Mizzou fan, lol.

Mizzou not wrestling their "A" lineup today.

Meh. Neither guy is REALLY an AA threat in my mind. I could see them sneaking into the R12, though, so maybe I'm underselling. In that scenario, all it takes is the right draw or the right higher seeded guy whose injured or struggling and suddenly you're on the podium. I don't think either of the guys in question is truly on that level, which is why I didn't think much of note happened.

Not a whole lot of note in the dual, but the Chattanooga heavy messed with the bull and got the horns, lol.

Ahhh yes, the notable overperformers in Lincoln, though....

I don't think O'Toole loses. He's That Dude at the weight. Mark Hall being the previous years champ is not factored into NCAA seed, I don't believe. He lost the 1 seed probably indirectly from the All Star match, but the match was not counted by the NCAA. The truth is, as I remember it, Zahir had a better season outside of his head to head win in the exhibition anyway.

Imagine being such a sad person that thinking that calling somebody a woman was an insult.

Lol. What a coward, can't even stand behind his bs.

Aren't you the guy who lost your mind off of an innocuous Irish person joke? Seems weird to be throwing around casual misogyny.

That was a funny visual.

Disagree on this characterization. Swiderski clubbed the shit out of Woods twice after the whistle. Now I don't mind stuff like that, but I've seen the reactions whenever an Iowa guy does similar stuff, so I just find it funny. I thought it was awesome, and Swiderski is TOUGH!

Crackerjack analysis. After today's results, the words on everybody's lips are definitely "Penn State is in trouble, the Hawkeyes are coming for them."

Fair, but I'm also accounting for level of opponent. I rate Schuyler more highly than Gaitan at this point.

Oh shit, ban basketball is back? Good dual meet. Spencer likely gets the tech if the ref doesn't stop him for potentially dangerous, but no doubt he didn't look great after that. He did dig deep for another nice TD in the third. The standard Lee is held to is incredible, though. He did still major his opponent in a big spot in his first match in a year in CTver after double ACL surgeries. Maybe calm down, as has been pointed out, Lee historically has not had the greatest tank early. I loved all the pageantry and shit talk, but I do get a kick out of one guy calling Woods a douche (and others expressing similar feelings) for....not liking getting clubbed multiple times after the whistle, I guess, but not much consternation over Bastida's theatrics. Either way. Good dual, never really in doubt even with Iowa State winning all the tossups (pr semitossups.) Most impressive Clone (other than Carr) was Paniro Johnson. Most impressive Hawk was Cass, but after that Nelson Brands looked really good, as did Real Woods. Warner, in a loss, showed more juice from neutral so hopefully he can build from that.

Spencer is on the bout card.

Nah. He probably even gets put on his back boringly.

Ed Scott, how do you walk into a slide by with 12 seconds left?

The beautiful thing about Will Lewan wrestling in a semifinal is that I know to watch the other semifinal if I want any shot at seeing something exciting.

https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/10063879-two-time-all-american-stephen-buchanan-transfers-to-oklahoma Officially announced, but for all the chatter last year, this one gave me a chuckle:

I believe that's what the insinuation behind the rumor is, but I just don't think there's any reason to believe that. If there were even a scintilla of proof backing this up, we'll find out when Patrick Minnow pretends he's got the scoop 3 days from now.
