Key word is "some." As in they play "some" actual tournaments "some" of the time. But they don't collect "some" of your money, they expect "all" of it even though their product only works "some" of the time. I have offered to take on only "some" of my salary in order to fix their products. I digress.

FERRARIS FIRING UP BOYS VROOM VROOOOOOOM Soggy sorrows to my Brooks/Ferrari bet though

If Steveson is getting paid anything less than six figures, given his star power, he would literally be better off being a wanker analyst for literally any F500. I'm sure JPM Chase or Deloitte or any other company with a fck-all starfcker MD would be salivating to bring in the shiny new toy to show off for a cost against the books of $100,000. Being rather conservative for multi-million deals, that's approximately thirteen "seal the deal" client dinners at that level ($6,500 for the group). Eleven if you count the office Christmas party in the mix. Bringing a gold medalist to dinner is a quick winner winner chicken dinner and typically pays for itself somewhere between year one and two. But let's not bring reality into this hatefest. Steveson hustled wrestling fans and he is going to get a free pass for it.

99.9% sure that was the year that the rules changed to allow pins if any part of the body was inbounds. I think that was also the same year that the line was changed from being the boundary to the edge. But that was also almost two decades ago so I should 100% be fact-checked.

Which part?

I hope Evan Thick shows up just completely jacked out of his mind and has an ass that would make Nikki Minaj jealous. I want to see full-on Marvel superhero workouts with Hugh Jackman and Chris Pratt posted in the days leading up. Something that would make even Kyle Snyder say "ooooooo this thicc boi deadlifts" Hopefully he finally went through puberty and filled out his frame a la Taylor. Just maybe with different treigning methods. Or not! Just be less puffy than Zahid and we are good!

Better than these?

Even PSU haters should remember that he finished during a lost senior covid 2020 season and NIL didn't begin destroying the world until summer '21. The before times really do seem like a decade ago though, don't they? Sidebar conspiracy theory: covid costing all those seniors their final hurrah happened because of @ILLINIWrestlingBlog He made a deal with the devil to exact revenge on Joseph for what happened to Imar but he didn't realize the full implications until the prince of darkness came for his dues.

I'm calling shenanigans. This is a social experiment by @Husker_Du and methinks he is getting exactly the results he expected. We are all just pawns on his board of checkers.

125 falls off a cliff after no guys this season. It's going to be a long time before we see another 2x'er imho.

More like Evan Thick amiright

Also, the Michigan Benedict Arnolds should show up just to blow up the brackets, errr I mean to get additional experience. I would pay all the moneys for a Micic/Lee match. Pure fireworks.

I am very excited to see what Warner looks like. Hopefully he has a better gas tank without the brutal cut down to 197. The bracket is Mike Mach’s to lose but 97 will be fun. 86 also looks very good and a preview of senior nats + OTT. Glad to see strong participation.

Lee is registered. Suriano is not - I wonder if he is going to attend Senior Nats next month instead to punch his OTT ticket?

This is such a stupid thread. This is why we can’t have nice things.

I remember seeing his interview after winning a rare 4th NCAA title when Kessenich asked him about his world silver after beating Sasso in ho-hum manner "That's not going to do it, what I just did. It's not [even] going to get me on the team. So I've got to do more, got to get better." He literally said he needs to improve to even compete domestically after winning a silver medal at the toughest weight in the world. Touch grass dude.

I know you are but what am I?

Could Taylor beat Dake if they were the same weight class? I’ll see myself out

What about Illinois has been overrated? The program was left in the dumpster and Hef ate everything in the cupboards on his way out. Poeta is doing yeoman’s work if can manage a top 10 B1G finish this year. Far cry from what used to be a little thing called “annual expectations.”

Again, freestyle, 1x world finalist, 2x team rep, 4x Team USA finalist. You’re comparing him to two who have legitimate ground to go down as the best US wrestler, not just FS but any style, of all time. Yianni has already done more than JB in the same time frame (college career) so idk what you want other than to wait out the duration of his career?

4x NCAA champ 2x world team member; additionally 2x world team alternate. All occurred before he graduated. World silver at a weight with a 20ish year Team USA drought. What about that still-growing resume says “overhyped?”

No, and I’ll gladly make that bet barring injury.

Does your reply mean I’m back in good graces? Like hopefully a bottom 50 innocuous post gets me a little less heat… for now?

Does this unofficially confirm Kannon Webster is redshirting? cc @ILLINIWrestlingBlog

If you told me post 2016 OTT that Zane was going to be the Pan Am games rep (and champ) but Anthony Valencia was going to place 4th for another country after getting rocked by the US backup at a non-oly weight I would have laughed at you. I would have laughed SO. HARD.
