Previous years, a former staffer was handling the social media graphics. That person doesn't work at USAW any longer. There have been two new hires and the most recent has been thrust into two back-to-back weekends. Maybe the simple reason is they're just now getting to it after having to get people up-to-speed on the events-related part of the gig. I've been in the role, so I speak from experience in this type of situation - not everything is some underlying agenda or conspiracy.

The shower incident was also in their "parent corner" which is at the very end of their show. You endured quite a bit to get to even get to that point. I'm going to keep them on the trial run, although I know it doesn't typically fit with the type of shows I have on the network. I'll come up with a pre-loaded disclaimer on the network for them moving forward.

I wouldn't consider Tommy and Kevin "trashy" but more like the conversation about wrestling you'll hear at a bar. They have plenty of good interviews, but their banter between the two of them isn't always kid-friendly. This is why the show is labeled explicit and the show notes have a disclaimer in them. It's not a show style I've typically previously included in the network, but with more and more teams doing their own thing, I'm connecting with my friend group to see if there's a benefit to having them included in my network. I may have to add a specific audio disclaimer before their show when it's within my network feed, but if there's other instances you've found on the Mat Talk Podcast Network, I can clearly address those issues @Dark Energy

Ok. Site name clearly visible on mobile too.

I mean, it clearly says what site it’s from in the title. Mousing over should also show you the URL.

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.
