Carr is nasty and quite possibly the future. Griffith saved how many Stanford sports? If O’Toole doesn’t win then don’t discount him. 3 champs with legitimate world team aspirations in the same bracket means at least 2 people are going home disappointed. The only way Lee loses by the time NCAAs rolls around is if DeSanto goes on another vision quest, transfers to Michigan who miraculously finds him another year of eligibility by getting him onto the Ecuador national team, and upsets a still-recovering from ACL injury. Yianni not HEW, Yianni adjusting back to folk. Yianni not worried and he okay. AOC pick? Love it and all here for it. But it’s only going to be 12.5 months since his ACL tear when nattys happen. That’s a stacked deck unfortunately. He should have been a 2x’er but the covid cancellation ruined that chance (along with Carr’s legacy possibly)

I don’t have faith in Purdue. That program has been hexed by a voodoo priest.

They are right where they always are. I do hope they break their AA drought this year but it isn’t likely. Copass will be their best bet the next 4 years to break that streak.

The best annual article from one of my favorite writers, Drew Magary. Ladies and gentlemen: The 2022 Hater’s Guide To The Williams-Sonoma Catalog “Leave your duck boots in the breezeway and help yourself to some wassail. It’s anything but “mid,” I assure you. Unfortunately, our new contractors weren’t able to finish our addition in time for Christmas, which absolutely broke Grayley’s heart. He was planning to move back in after he finished at Skidmore, and now he might have to stay in the pool house instead. Can you IMAGINE? Dreadful. Just dreadful. There’s barely enough room in the pool house for a full bar!”

As an IL fan I appreciate the Wiscy drinking whiskey takes. But there's a dude named Amos and no way 1) they remove a senior world team member from the varsity squad, and 2) Amos or Ferrari bumps up to heavyweight. Other than that, yes I agree Bono is an assclown who wouldn't think twice about bringing some Focus to Madison.

But even if you are using it as a career award, he still got hosed. How many dominant, and I do mean DOMINANT, 4x finalist/3x champs didn't get a Hodge? The dude was so bored he brought the Winn-Dixie back in vogue. Not saying Nickal didn't deserve it but if they are giving out co-Hodges like candy nowadays...

too busy arguing with idiots like me on the internet to actually watch wrestling

I have nothing more than a weird hunch and a bad feeling he is going to SDSU. Hahn would have to make a deal with the devil for the Ferrari bros in hopes of raising the Jack Rabbits' profile thinking "he's going to be my Seth Gross, not my Andrew Long"

Jason Nolf would like a word

idk it worked pretty well for Imar to the tune of 4 NCAA finals appearances and 2 titles, not to mention pushing JB to the limit at Final X

Because you’re a staunch Hidlay believer so I wanted to rib you. Also because I had lots of wine and was feeling quite merry (not so much this morning)

Live by the edge, die by the edge. @nhs67 how's that underhook doing?

Baschamania in Baschashambles

And for the real ones out there:

Pros know that if the company doesn't shut down for 2 weeks over the holidays then you don't burn your vacation. It's an easy time where everyone is "heads down working on those side projects that never get touched." Examples of those projects include: starting late, grocery shopping, long lunches with old friends who just got in town, getting a haircut, procrastinating your OKRs and annual eval until the last day, and signing off early.

Are you implying that the president of Boring Co. doesn’t follow through on his word?

Ferrari is going to be the coach?

Was going to make a joke about defaulting out of B1Gs but if he wrestles enough matches he may not even go and just take a wild card bid. The ultimate duck/load management.

And anyone want to take a guess where Gable Steveson is from and his original kids club? I'll give a hint: 3 brothers/5 NCAA titles/1 world medal

*Northwest Chicago has more starters in the B1G than PA though they have just over half the population

Are you really surprised? IL has consistently showed out at the kids level for and has improved results over the past two decades when looking at NCAA results (comparing to doubling as freco champs and only getting 1-2 NCAA AAs per year once we hit the big leagues). The impact Bormet made on the state of IL followed by Medlin is nothing short of fantastic.

"People are saying" - all-time PMT line for all the AWLs on this board.

Chicago is warm... about 5 weeks each summer. And yeah Heartbreak is brutal and has that name for a reason! I do lots of up and downs on parking garages because that's about as close as it gets around here for "hills." How good or bad was it mentally for you when you saw the Citgo sign and the distance to go sunk in?

He'd win nearly as many matches at a single NCAA as the current starter will rack up in 4 combined tourneys (currently at 2 wins in 2 appearances)
