  1. Spates is a very good announcer. He's probably not wrong here either. The level of young guys today is nuts. You're not wrong about dropping those guys in this environment and how good they'd be, but the level of wrestling is not comparable over the 50 year gap.
  2. Then that's worse.
  3. Is this a real question? Obviously it's worse to shove a guy than it is to do finger guns to the team that does finger guns.
  4. I'd comfortably give 2:1 odds to the field. I think it's easily twice as likely that Steveson wins than anyone else does.
  5. Then say that Kerk has improved so much in two years that he could make it interesting. Don't claim that the same PSU coaching staff that was there last time will be the difference.
  6. I agree. If Kerk had PSU's staff for their last matchup he would have won.
  7. Those people aren't making predictions. They are sharing lightly held hopes disguised as predictions.
  8. Thread title: I don't think Steveson will win. After clarifying question: I wouldn't bet on it. I think you should apply to write headlines for any media entity.
  9. Yep. Morals aren't necessary to reach the really obvious conclusion that alcohol doesn't help athletic performance.
  10. I agree he was winning before he was losing.
  11. Sam Hazewinkle. 4 total NCAA losses. Won 2012 olympic trials in FS and was 2008 olympic trials runnerup in GR.
  12. i think he's not even in Gable's league.
  13. I think I'll draw big conclusions now. I don't get why everyone should wait until after the fact to draw conclusions. We aren't a bunch of analysts going over past data. We are message board fans commenting on what's happening right now. This would be a really boring place if we all just waited until after the season to have any conclusions.
  14. I would think it matters exactly the same as the post I'm replied to and the post that one replied to. And yours.
  15. Your original take came before the one you are calling outlandish.
  16. You implied it was likely. 5/1 says you don't really believe what you wrote.
  17. You think he'll beat him but you want 5/1 odds? I think that means you don't think he'll beat him.
  18. Was it more dominating if he lost more and pinned less than other guys?
  19. What are you doing with capital letters? Or the English language in general? I thought I was middle aged and then I read this post and I'm convinced I'm a million years old because it makes zero sense to me.
  20. I do that on days that end in Y.
  21. He has zero offense. I think there are far more likely ways for Messenbrink to lose than Barraclough stalling for 9 minutes to get to ride outs.
  22. Pac 12s was my only previous trip. I think that had a bit more attendance than a dual and we still got great GA seats and had a great experience.
  23. I'm bringing my son Sunday. He was always more of a football guy (probably from growing up in Texas), but we made the trip to Corvallis in March for Pac 12s and he had a blast. He can't wait for Sunday.
  24. Does competing in college somehow prevent him from competing in freestyle against grown men? Did competing in college in the past stop him from beating those same grown men? Is there a reason his return to college wrestling would have a negative impact on his return to freestyle?
  25. Sorry for being unclear. I will not be going to Utah. But I'll be in Corvallis to see the new look Cowboys.
