125 is fun to talk about but we all need to acknowledge that two things are true: 1) At this weight this year nothing means anything until the dust settles in March. 2) If they wrestled NCAAs ten times, we would see ten wildly different results. It's a crapshoot this year and nothing is off the table. Could see a freshman win it, could see a .500 finalist, could see Vito and Fix in the finals. Nothing should surprise anyone.

I hope he does well. And honestly I don't even care if he's actually doing this for football reasons. His stock will improve as an NCAA qualifier, much less AA and could be the difference between UDFA and day 2 pick if he plays well next year. I'm all about our sport showing out.

Ramos couldn't win a spot so he transferred to Purdue. Nagao li$tened to god and tran$ferred to PSU. Kerk recommitted from Minny when Gable committed. Wasn't the last time that would happen (OSU, tOSU, PSU). There's usually only one or two sure-fire champs per class. Even then they don't pan out - look at Fix as an example. It's tough to nab p4p #1 and the fact that Minny did it AND delivered should be celebrated, not met with a firing squad. And no one answered my question as to who would be a better replacement.

I would love to know who he would be replaced with. Only three potentially realistic candidates would have a shot at meeting or exceeding Eggum as his successor: Hahn (not a given to even put his name in), Ramos, and Metcalf. And none of those is a given to meet his bar.

Dude couldn't even handle a Durango going fast and now he thinks he can handle a real car? Must be why he is getting a drivers ed lesson on how to do zoomies in the parking lot.

I don't understand the Eggum hate. He delivers multiple AAs on an annual basis, graduates his student-athletes, has a strong donor base, and his team keeps their names out of the beat report. And as previously mentioned, he kept an Olympic champ and Hodge winner at home.

A quick google search reveals that Hylighter Photography only posts about two sports: male wrestling and male water polo. The below link is an actively updated page. I'm not drawing any conclusions, just pointing out some basic facts. https://hylighterphotography.smugmug.com/

Seems like the best answer to me.

Honestly, ESPN coverage of NCAAs has been top notch the past few years whether it be the primetime broadcasts of the evening sessions on multiple ESPN channels or using the ESPN app. Since I can't attend anymore unless I want to give up something else, setting up four smart TVs and a laptop for "work" has been awesome. It is honestly my favorite viewing experience each year.

This is a good thing for our sport! NCAA, ESPN extend broadcast deal 8 more years (including wrestling) "The agreement includes all 24 sports covered in ESPN's previous agreement and adds coverage of the NCAA Division I tennis championships (men's and women's) and men's gymnastics, among others. It also extends international rights to the Division I men's basketball championship." "Men's championships included in the agreement include... wrestling."

There was a national champ with no more eligibility that enjoyed a Bud Light last year after he won NCAAs and that picture circulated and certainly made the tabloid rounds. And to think those were the "good" days of wrestling papparazzi

Exactly why this is the perfect idea for this specific week. It's all drama baby!

You can wish in one hand...

Growing culture? This type of personality and culture has been around forever. The only difference is that there are cameras now.

Hey there, welcome to Intermat. One thing we like to do around here to meet & greet is share our Youtube channel. What's the link to yours?

According to every 3 hour hardo hobby runner ever if it's not on Strava then it didn't happen

Down year for me due to life. Can't believe I only finished in the top 4% on Strava this year. New year, new me! PS if anyone is running the Chicago marathon I will be wearing one of those beautiful red pacer singlets in October

You didn't know that Downey is mentoring him as part of his DeVry University Ph.D dissertation? I thought this was common knowledge

Let me translate in midwesterner: Ope let me slide by ya here. In western: Oh hey excuse me.. hehe beep beep. In Texas: Looks like the Focus family is transferring again. In east coast: JETS SUCK SCREW DA FUHRAHRIS I WAS OLWAYS A LAMBUHGEENI GUY ANYWAYS

Any other school? Maybe. Not Iowa - wrestling may not be king, but it certainly has a permanent seat at the royal table.

If you are the AD do you trade three Ferraris for a Kueterlet?

Given it's still the 12 days of Christmas you should make it two turtle doves

Ah that's right. Doesn't really help the TnT character argument though

Gross had to leave for getting drunk. But recruiting PD3 and the Ferrari ***duck**bois are a-okay

Kemerrer did so much to clean up the culture in the Iowa room and it's all for naught.
