I said nothing about a "match" was talking about practice in the room. Once you are ready to go you should wrestle whoever is in the dual or tournament you committed to.

Yes this ^^^ and was the mom in the room? Can't speak for every room but seen it and makes sense when coming off surgery or injury you're not going to let that starter go against an up and coming Fr who isn't going to hold back. One example the kid coming back only wrestled with the assistant coach cause that coach new when to stop or holds/moves to avoid. Point was to get the kid back in shape not to please the moms.

Its a nice event but nothing like the National Duals of 15/20 years ago, winning used to be a thing.

Wait a minute ... wrestlers running around wearing nothing but headgear ... is that gonna grow the sport ... think of the children ... good grief think of the heavy weights.

How many top 5 or top 10 teams were there? How many top 5 teams wrestled each other? Who won the event?

where did you see a national dual(s)?

Thought this was going to be a thread about a new cut of Wagyu.

Heard the Randy Lewis era were fun times.

It can't be fun unless you have photos or video.

Maybe he meant done going 7 minutes.

Willing to take tickets/media pass off your hands for small handling fee and assuming you cover shipping.

Lesson learned, next time Byrd will put his glasses on before ordering, skip the highlights and just order hotcakes from the griddle.

Tuesday evening Jan 3rd at Rendezvous in Memphis. If we can't finish that evening we'll rap things up Wed afternoon at Central BBQ. PS: Implementation subcommittee will meet Wed evening at Commisary in Collierville.

Sure or Evanston, or swing by your house, but is the coach gonna let the bus stop there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ PS: @Formally140 ain't giving em no ride over to Schaumburg.

Kids today expect instant info, instant gratification etc. Wrestlers are always hungry, well except for HWTs thus why we have a lot of 1-0, 2-1 matches - no motivation to finish to go eat, but I regress. What's the first thing a wrestler wants to do after a tournament, EAT! So the stick needs to be something can instantly relate to. You want to eat before the trip home - step on the mat and take the injury loss. PS: this would also discourage teams like Iowa from hosting holiday tournaments in their home/host town. Just watch the MFFs start to fly left and right at the Salute event.

is that similar to freaky-fast or perhaps Danny likes ice-cream after a sub.

If you MFF out of a holiday tournament you are not allowed to eat in the host city.

hmm ...

already in line at Johnnie’s

.

then you should mind taking a short quiz: What's your favorite color?

blood round?

Was planning to go to Scuffle this weekend. Appeared great team & individual matchups (eg 1, 2 & 3 @165lb). But looking at Midlands and now similar ISU & Vtech thing at Scuffle appears it may just be a 3 team intrasquad tourney. It used to be you didn't have to think about whether to go to Midlands, you just booked your hotel and showed up because you knew there was going to be great team & individual competition, the best teams showed up to win, same at Scuffle except warmer temps. Also National Duals was always the best, the top teams showed up plus got to see a few backups in the early rounds. Now its why even have holiday tournaments, maybe just let the kids go home and eat. It used to be one of the points of the semester break tourneys is fans could also show up. T&C killed the Duals, now the holiday break tournaments are slowly dying. Maybe we need to put Bob in charge, he knows about dying but also about how to bring things back to life.
