    No one that will share it that I’ve seen. I think back is what I’ve seen speculated, plus if he may have injured his knee against Crookham.

    Although to be fair it’s probably the Ivy League’s fault that he didn’t ORS this year.

    His stance made me think back. That wasn’t normal Vito.

    Had a back injury and hands down the worst pain I've ever gone through.  Worse than the one time I got meningitis.  Had surgery.  The recovery is a slow process.  Depending on the severity of Vito's injury I'd hope he can make the best decision for his future.

    Those making that argument should also say Vito wrestling this NCAA season is potentially hurting our international team as well, correct?

    Does anyone know what his injury is?

    The idea that Spencer Lee...who sacrificed who knows how many ACL's and knee surgeries to Iowa and the sport of wrestling...hurt the sport, is ludicrous at best.

    You could argue that his sacrifice to Iowa wrestling hurt Team USA's International team which hurt the sport of Freestyle wrestling

    But beyond all that, I tend to believe in things when there is evidence. It blows my mind that people believe this stuff with no actual evidence. It's unfathomable to me. 

    It's not that unfathomable.  There's the theory of the multiverse.  It's a respected theory that many of the brightest minds in science promote.  It can never be tested nor could we ever go there but if you ask your local Joe Shmoe if its real they'll tell you it's possible without being ridiculed

    Also, how big does your ego have to be to think that God is personally invested in your wrestling success? It's such a ludicrous thing to think. I find it unfathomable that people believe stuff like this. 

    I'm agnostic myself and don't believe God or any higher power is invested in me being better than someone else.  But, I've been fascinated by the number of athletes across different sports who really go full in on the God psychology.  This is just my opinion and not based on any reputable study.  Right or wrong I think the "God" in most athletes psyches is just another tool to keep them motivated and focused on success.  Creating a God as some guiding light gives them a higher purpose and can increase motivation.  So it can be a very effective tool & when competing at the highest level you need every little angle or edge you can find to keep you ahead of your competition

    What is going to happen with 174 bracket. We all know about Carter. But man that Griffith injury looked even worse. Will they throw the guys in the tournament and wait until last minute to see if they are alright. Will they allow late entries into the tournament and redo the entire bracket...?

    Can you create/start the thread for PSU is below average 125-149, Nebraska is better, etc.  I'm asking for a friend.  He's been itching for a cinnabon.  Can you glaze it with PSU wont win the tournament or something that's extra sweet?

    Unless the formula has changed here's a breakdown between Carr & Ramirez so I could be wrong on ranking Ramirez higher...Based on last Coaches Poll & RPI
