  1. Coming into that match he had 2 MD, 1 Fall, and 9 DEC wins against wrestlestat top 50 opponents. So you are absolutely right and I am absolutely wrong. He did turn the michigan kid.
  2. He's very good. But he's not very good at getting bonus points. He can't turn guys from top, so if you don't get taken down to your back, he has a hard time racking up points.
  3. I wonder if Mizzou knew the same. If you know Fix has to win by 10, how do you get put to your back (was it an inside trip?). Just wrestle TDs and bail early.
  4. First good weekend for OSU in quite a while. Not sure if it will translate to March, but Young and Surber have looked very good lately and looked good again today.
  5. I agree that McGee was close except for the points Lee scored.
  6. How about the fact that Jake Rosholt had 20 career losses for his 3 titles (and a 3rd). He stopped caring about duals and the regular season before it was popular.
  7. I just hope none of the over 23 wrestlers find out about this thread. It would crush them if an internet commenter didn't value their accomplishment. I could see many of them simply returning the all american medal.
  8. It was wild that Swidierski's triple donkey kick didn't earn a penalty initially. It came with 5 seconds left in a match that was completely decided. Super obvious, and the ref just watched. Then after missing that, the ref deducts team points in both directions for stuff that was mild by comparison. Just a total loss of control from the ref.
  9. Didn't he go up in weight? It doesn't seem like the coaches kept him down, he just kept missing even after going up.
  10. I love every once in a while when someone comes up with an idea to help the casual wrestling fan. When I finally meet a casual wrestling fan, that person better be super grateful.
  11. Someone else already made a thread about this. Now you both look dumb for making two threads about the same thing.
  12. Idiotic post. Stand out on the internet level bad.
  13. If they start out realizing how much they don't know, what happens later that makes them incapable of admitting a mistake in any situation? Is that trained into them?
  14. There's no way that's your takeaway from his comment.
  15. Is there a reason older students wouldn't count when considering whether most take more than 4 years? The comment I responded to said it was against the mission of the school for kids to RS and take 5 years to graduate. Is it against the spirit of the school for older students to go to college? Most students take more than 4 years. There is no reason why an athlete going to school for 5 years is universally bad.
  16. Lots of statistics show that the majority of students currently take more than 4 years to graduate college with a bachelors.
  17. Are RS years making it harder for kids to graduate? Are grad rates going down in kids who RS? Are non-athletes graduating faster than 5 years on average? I am all for completely eliminating all exceptions for anything over 5 years. But I don't understand how a 5th year somehow shows that sports are more important than what a school should be focused on.
