“We will go but we won’t wrestle any key opponents” - Carl

Ask Michael Beard and the Nevills family how taking a ___shirt for the team plays out. Most cutthroat room in the country by design.

Ahh my bad, I interpreted what you said as Eierman was better than the Mizzou champs and you meant the UFC champs

I think when it happens it will either be because he is competing injured or he can no longer make 97 and it happens at 125.

You directly said Eierman was better. Don’t backtrack.

You want to be so cowardly as to duck? I can’t support that. Where is Maximo? Where is Luffman, or eithe of his backups? Why is a HS state champ many years removed with minimal college results the #1 seed at a previously top tier folk style tournament? We are quite literally on the same team but even I can’t deflect Ducks Unlimited. And Cannon being a 5 seed is a travesty.

1) Poeta is a coward 2) Cannon as a 5 seed? 3) Midlands has had such a hard fall from grace. It went from THEEEEE preeminent tournament to... Edmond Ruth as a 1 seed?

I thought we were friends.

Sooooooo should I consult Clue Heywood or do we want to get Vak's opinion first?

I once worked out with Matt Hughes down at EIU (#rip) a few years after he graduated but before he was a UFC champ. He showed up to an offseason workout with some of the guys in the room and I was in high school and happened to be there at the same time. I had at least 50 pounds and 6 inches on him so even though I was outclassed I was at least holding my own against him which was a very big mistake. He got mad after a couple takedown scraps that took longer than he appreciated and decided he wanted to put me in my proper place so he punched me so hard when I went for a shitty double attempt that he knocked me out. I woke up with a bloody nose from hitting the mat and had a headache that lasted for a couple days. Like I said, I was in high school so losing to college guys was usually just a character builder but this was a literal ass kicking from an entirely different universe. I learned real quick that day that no matter how good you may think you are, there is someone out there who is 10x badder and will kick the living snot out of you.

This counts as picking against McKee on the backside and that is such a hot take I can’t touch it with gloves on

Six champs in Mizzou history and while he was a great talent don’t let recency bias get in the way of their accomplishments. Someone tell me if I’m forgetting someone? Ellis, Houdashelt, Ben & Max Askren, Cox, O’Toole.

I don’t know why Jr. left HWC but I do know why basically the entire women’s national team went to Sunkist. But no way he goes to OkSt.

Draft Kings has a future on Nickal at +1200 to be champ on Dec 31, 2023. The toughest part may not be ability but scheduling/climbing the ladder in short time since his next fight isn’t until March. But just like Gable at the Olympics, now is the time to take the action on the wrestler before Vegas catches up.

Did anyone think to ask Micic‘s opinion of 32 year old 57kgs bumping up to 141 in the off-season?

Ed Scott is a mf’n hammer to be reckoned with

Pretty sure he has to do 4 years active coaching + 4 years of reserve coaching before he can move on to civilian endeavors

Because he’s getting ready for April?

Create a national Last Chance qualifier the week between conference tourneys and nattys for anyone who meets some basic criteria (undetermined, but the idea is “not everyone can enter this Last Chance tourney” in order to not have a 47 person bracket). Start with the mindset of 30 auto qualifiers for NCAAs from conferences and 3 from Last Chance by using current qualification criteria. Anyone who MFFs at conference must participate at Last Chance. If you MFF at Last Chance. then you watch from home. 3rd place match at Last Chance would be a sneak peek of bloodround - true gladiator’s mindset.

Congrats that is awesome news!

Silly post. Espo is being groomed for the role. Someone call Waste Management to close this thread

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.
