Dark Energy

It is about half full. Crazy. Maybe session 2 in evening will be more full.

I’m going to vent. Parking situation was freaking piss poor. Long long lines of cars barely moving. 45 minutes of slow car moving to get into a parking lot. In venue, can not see scores on two mats. Sitting in a ‘corner’ of the arena. Can see scores for nearest two mats but far mats have boars arrayed so as not to be able to see them. At KC for NCAAs, digital banner around arena showed who was wrestling on which mat … and the score. Digital banner here just tells us we are at the trials.

Your schtick is …. Ummmm … weird (?)

Ok. I bet you. Done. FYI Carr dropped out.

Kyle seemed to be very close with his dad. His dad dying recently is a big big deal. I feel for Kyle as a person. No idea how this will impact him. Perhaps negatively for obvious reasons. Perhaps it could help .. you hear stories of people doing their best to pay tribute to a lost loved one. Who knows though.

Wait … did Carter actually refer to his d!k in that reply? Saying it grew so he is heavy? Wait? What? Ok - there is finesse when it comes to social media (a la example from JB) and there is ignorant trolling and there is crude slop. Carter seems to be on the crude slop side at this time.

Imagine PD3 actually shows up and wrestles?!?! That would be a surprise. Now — wait for it — imagine PD3 actually beats Carter!!! Oh my … the amount of sh&t talking would be monumental. Not sure this would be recoverable. Every time Carter would attempt to talk trash, this loss would be thrown in his face. It won’t happen … but damn if it does.

FRL on Monday - Pyles provides more thinking saying he is hearing OK State is considering options. Ben seems to be on board with doing some deeper thinking on the next HC. Not Coleman next topic. Anyone feel Pyles is simply making this all up? Or have any info suggesting that OK State is actually considering anyone beyond Coleman?

Mitchell vs Meyer. Wanted this to happen a few weeks ago. Hoping this happens in a few days!! Should be fun!

Ahahahaha. Folks see Burroughs post on the Flo instagram on Star going 86kg? ‘Gonna be hard to end my career up there champ’ Amusing. Burroughs does well with this social media stuff.

So the cynical view of dropping weights between NCAAs and OTTs has proven correct. No go for Vito or Starocci. Makes complete sense. Anyone actually able to make a big cut from NCAAs?

My brain gets twisted on the weights with auto semifinalists. If someone sees brackets, pls post. Thanks all.

No idea if true. But I wonder about quality of life in NYC. If similar pay some may feel life is way better in a less expensive locale. Family preferences can impact things as well. There is a lot that goes into having a happy life.

Ha! I think The concepts of Dark Energy and Dark Matter suggest that our theories (the key being General Relativity) are good theories but are missing something. I don’t know what. But I’m thinking it isn’t these invisible, mostly non-interacting plugs. I feel like they are a cop out. But for now, Dark Energy is the most prevalent ‘thing’ in the Universe per the most accepted university theories!!

Often, we get some real surprises happen at OTTs. Not always but cool when it occurs. Some folks that make the team that are not the establishment. Feeling like our established guys are kinda old. I’d enjoy seeing some new blood. Question is who? While Dake and Burroughs seem like a big climb, 74kg has some amazing young guns. Can Alirez break through at 65kg? Many will say odds are very low. Hoping for someone to shock. Who would you predict or like to see do it?

Deflect and weave. Common tactic. Like I said, reread the posts. All is quite clear.

As mentioned, I get your perspective on the content you reacted to. All fair. You keep saying I’m being arrogant. Ok. I felt your original post was quite arrogant. And quite arrogant to assume I was CP based on so little information. So there.

The chuckle was from you thinking I’m CP. And now, I’m guessing, that to feel confident enough to repeat your hypothesis, you must have taken a moment to review my past posts. I will admit that I’m very curious to hear how you connected these dots. And to some of your other points … read the title of this thread. You’re telling me that the title of this thread mixed with your initial post isn’t an attack on Pyles? Sure it is, you can admit it. I’ll respect you more if you do. By the way, as you review my past posts, you’ll see I enjoyed KC very much. Hoping more NCAAs are held there!

In interview, Bo says he is going to make all the haters love him. He is being patient, keep fighting better guys. Will get to top.

Net net, he was not comfortable in on the feet exchanges.

Cody going for some big hits. Connects a bit. Nickal says ok, let’s wrestle. Attempts TD. Does eventually get it. Gets back control and eventually gets a leg in. Cody keeping chin down. Round ends with Bo in control. Landed a few elbows. Round 2 - this is a fight. Kicks. Bo decides enough, let’s get to ground. Works underhook to knee pick I believe. In control. Cody turns up towards him. Bo in full Mount. trying to set up arm triangle. Can’t get it. Working elbows lightly. No real damage being done. Starts to punch, Cody bellies down. Bo has back, body triangle, …. Eventually gets a choke. Done.

Since I know Dana reads these boards …. I bought the PPV. Wouldn’t have without Bo being on it. Good job Dana. BTW that 2x Olympic Gold Judoka, Kayla Harrison, is a beast. She is going to wreck the field.

Chuckle. Your opinion is reasonable from your perspective. I get it. I simply pointed out an inconsistency in your post. I’d also suggest that many many of the folks that subscribe to Flo or otherwise see their content aren’t following the sport as closely as you may think. I have friends in this boat.

Did you read his post? If so, reread it. He disagreed with much of what Pyles said. And yet you say he isn’t disagreeing with anything.

Stood out as a no sh*t Sherlock video?? That would mean that the video contained thoughts that are obviously true. And yet it seems that you are disagreeing with most of the statements in the video. You are not making any sense at all!!! Are you usually this confusing? (Huh, ragging on people for giving their opinion turns out to be pretty easy!)
