I added Bloodround to the network feed a few weeks ago as the two are friends of mine. Show is labeled explicit. It’s the only show on my network that is. Even has a disclaimer in the show notes. I rarely curse on my shows.

Why not? Site has been covering the state very well for years.

Want drama? Follow Indian wrestling. It’s stranger than fiction.

Only correct usage.

My quibble was that as well. I did point out early "hey, If I don't know who has criteria, neither do the people in here." Criteria didn't impact too many matches overall, though, so that impact was pretty minimal, except ... when it wasn't. My partner-in-crime Bryan Hazard was probably more on the spot with the challenge review process to make sure proper credit is given.

Clar transferred when Auburn dropped the program.

Storm used to hang out with us in college …

It's unlikely to have ever happened in the Division I tournament since the wrestlebacks fully expanded to include every first-round loser. In 1984, there was still the follow-the-leader system that would look like a full international repechage, but where the entries got pulled back in if their opponent made the semifinals. I saw a kid in D3 (18 wrestlers in the bracket) get two medical forfeits on the backside to end up placing, but that 1984 thing was surely an anomaly given that two wrestlers got hurt on the front side in that quarterbracket where Isom came back through, including Melvin Douglas.

Team Sheikie! RIP THE LEGEND, BUBBA!

My hometown didn’t get one until 1995 and it was the smallest McDonalds (it seemed) ever. I worked there 2 hours before bolting to fry chicken at KFC for a summer. Kids want happy meals periodically… so there’s that.

So does that make those who get takeout orders as doing something “sack religious?” I’ll show myself out.

Word is the bag to win was bigger than the bag to lose.

This helps with context, especially when realizing how freak of an accident this really was.

… you’re HIGHLY regarded if you’re the #12 recruit in an entire class. I did the rankings in that era for InterMat so I know JC is just coming up with typical JC weirdness.

“Wasn’t heralded as a top recruit?” Where do you come up with this stuff?

Tim Hands is an awesome dude and a great asset to the sport.

The term itself is redundant.

Part of the issue, IMO, with guys like Jones and even further back in time like Simons, is wrestlers from non-power programs don’t have the vocal fanbases to continue to talk about them as much. Most of the legends in the pre-internet era could be deemed under-appreciated.

Then you’d have (hypothetically of course) to tack on a few more since he also MFF at Midlands a time or two, right? As far as the question, yes, Zain had the better college career.

I mean, that’s Family Feud …

Also correct.

Gray Simons.

ChatGPT sports lists are about as good as that Twitter account that trolls the hell out of every CFB fanbase annually. Wrestling folks revolted (predictably Karen-like) when it was posted on twitter a few months ago. These discussions are fun, though. I had to correct Ben when he was calling out the D1 win streak leaders and skipped over Gray Simons, who had "NCAA/NAIA" in my screen shot. The GOATS need not be forgotten because they competed in an era with dual affiliation and before NCAA divisions.

For a guy who hates pro wrestling so much, he certainly likes to use its parlance to annoy me - and yes - he does it (or at least started doing it) to annoy me. Commitment to the gimmick I guess. The moment I say it at the NCAAs is the moment I quit doing what I do. When you hear me say it at NCAAs, it means I've given up on all hope and just don't care about the quality of work or respect for our sport.
