  1. Correct throws are garbage. They are literally participation points and should come with some orange slices when awarded.
  2. No one talks about all that baby fat he's going to gain the younger he gets
  3. They are Illinois trained courtesy of former Illini Brooks Black
  4. Winning the Fargo crown year after year is never enough. How many IL guys are already in the senior greco finals this weekend btw? 4 out of 10 finalists ain't too shabby of a start 55 Jayden Raney 60 Zane "I already made the senior freestyle team" Richards 63 Ellis Coleman 77 Kamal Bey
  5. 2011: Burroughs beat Nick Marable at the 2011 US Open immediately after NCAAs then beat him again at WTT. Dake chose to go to Univeristy Natl's where he got 2nd to Howe, then DNP at WTT. 2012: *Burroughs ran through the 2012 Olympic Team Trials where there were no byes 2013: Burroughs beat David Taylor at the 2013 US Open (Dake didn't compete) and then beat Dake at WTT. 2014 Burroughs won the US Open over Taylor then beat him 2x more at WTT. Dake did not compete at either due to injury. 2015 Burroughs got a bye to the finals and then beat Dake 2x under new direct bye rules. 2016 Burroughs became the real Magic Man when everyone disappeared from 74kg. He won the olympic spot, Dake fell short at 86. However Burroughs did not medal, therefore no direct bye in 2017. 2017 Burroughs once again beats Dake at the US Open, gets a bye at WTT, and then stop me if you have heard this before but JB beat Dake to make the world team. 2018 UWW creates a new 79kg weight class and Dake finally gets a chance to make his mark as he makes his first world team and first world championship. Both win medals. 2019 Dake and JB both enjoy byes to the finals, win spots and world medals 2020ne OTT JB gets the direct bye as the returning 74 medalist, Dake gets a bye to the semis as the 79 medalist and proceeds to snatch Nolf's soul on live television. Dake finally wins. JB and Dake switch weights for a couple years until 2024 OTT where Dake gets the finals bye, JB gets a bye to the semis and loses to Nolf meanwhile NLWC/PSU fans show their true colors. Dake had plenty of chances over the years, he just didn't capitalize on them.
  6. There was always a level playing field at the US Open when Burroughs would leave with the bracket. Dake always had the same opportunity.
  7. Sounds like a transfer to Ohio State is in the works because they don't work on escapes in high-pressure situations
  8. Also holding & making weight approximately a month apart between WTT and Final X, rather than potentially making it either 1) two months apart, or 2) three times over two months. That said, other than possibly Nolf, 79 has approximately zero competition at the level of current JB. Perhaps he is also contemplating going up to 86... or cutting hard to 74.
  9. Carl learned from the last time this happened. Braeden Davis will be required to submit 250 hours of community service at his local Taco Bell. He will also receive a delay in getting his driver's license when he finally turns 16.
  10. In 2028 that different story practically writes itself. Dake will be the first junior high kid to compete at the olympic trials and in his path is a bald old man named Keck who will stop at nothing to keep him from accomplishing his dream
  11. Yep, this is the one for sure
  12. I buy into the Keckeisen hype, but methinks if he runs into Dake that he might get a quick takedown in the ways Dake is susceptible domestically (ala ankle pick or blast double to shrug) but he either gets Dakebombed or bails every time as soon as Dake touches his legs. I also think Keck is like Yianni in that his folkstyle funk would do better internationally than domestically.
  13. Agreed. 2016 Cox had to win a bracket featuring Taylor and Dake and former world silver three years prior Jake Herbert; then he competed in the World Cup back when countries actually gave a crap about it where he beat Iran returning world bronze Karimi (also beat him at Rio) and the Euros runner-up, then he won the global last chance qualifier since the US didn't qualify the weight yet. Zahid has quite a few pelts on his wall, but I strongly believe 2016 J'Den beats any version of Zahid.
  14. I'm guessing Mason Parris must be hurt. Any chance he recovers in time for WTT to compete for the other Final X spot?
  15. Don't forget that Iowa has the most popular Director of Operations the B1G Ten Network has ever seen. Folks are quick to forget that Caitlin Clark is a distant second in the race for most popular women's alum in Iowa athletics history and screen time proves it
