Yeah because Micic had an all-time dream draw. It was totally better than the gauntlet Seabass had to overcome… smh this is dumber than the Nelson Brands thread

That’s why *UWW introduced Ethereum blockchain draws in December 2019.

Glad I bought some stock in Reynolds last night

2015 Snyder beat Cox in the semis then Varner in the finals at the US Open and then beat Varner 2-0 in best of three at WTT.

Boston crushed eleven thousand dreams https://www.baa.org/global-field-qualifiers-notified-acceptance-128th-boston-marathon-presented-bank-america

I'm just here to vent

Yes and Yes. But he’s not going to beat out Hopke at UM so he might as well go to the second best place and it ain’t PSU.

Carroll is more NCAA ready but has a lower ceiling. Pitzer needs to leave yinzer to maximize his potential. Riding the pine for one year at Michigan would do him a career full of wonders.

Gable Steveson and Joe Rau think your comment was a pretty corny thing to do

You also have to consider that many people in Chicagoland are not originally from the area. Their parents moved for work and as such, their kids are encouraged to explore the same as their parents have done. So even if you want to wrestle, why not do it elsewhere to meet new people and become more worldly? It’s a cultural hurdle to overcome.

It's less grassroots and more "if I'm going to college I don't want to stay home." That's a big hurdle to overcome considering NIU isn't exactly known for its stellar academics. Kids can get into Iowa with the same test scores and be given in-state tuition. Smart kids get into Illinois, Michigan, or Indiana for B-school/music. All those are better experiences than NIU. It's a big hurdle.

No PA kid is going to move halfway across the country just to end up in the cornfields of DeKalb. And the D1 Illinois kids don't want to end up at NIU when they can go literally anywhere but a town 50 miles past the end of the suburbs. Poeta is having a brutal time at the marquee state school so I am unsure if even a hotshot assistant the likes of Ramos could make headway. NIU (and EIU back in the day) are where you go if you are only a state placer/1x champ/small school champ but want to keep wrestling while also staying close to home without paying Elmhurst or Wheaton tuition. Otherwise you quit wrestling and go to any of the B1G schools for the best 4 years of your life.

More like DJ Puke I’ll see myself out for throwing a shot at a high school kid.

In a weird way, if Nagao does anything less than make the finals then it is going to light up the fanbase even more. And I have a hunch he ain’t seein’ Saturday night.

Can't believe this thread has more pages than the transfer tracker smh what is this world coming to

This is the internet and I would be disappointed if you didn’t steal it then claim it as your own

I heard Kyle Snyder was a Greco national champ and that’s probably why

That’s some real depression weight loss if he gets down to 97. He won’t beat either Elam if he drops that low, especially Rocky in FS.

Lol okay nah I’ll take either Elam over a 97 Cass

The only two with any semblance of a chance to make 97 would be Elam and Davison. Neither strikes fear into the hearts of senior opponents… or their age-group peerset.

I'll never forget the story of the time that after a hard workout Dake didn't like what the scale said so he immediately started complaining to the ref about the scale poking him in the eye.

Oh no don't dare bring that up. 57/65/74/86/97/125 are the chosen weights for a reason. Did you know that John Smith, a legendary American Cowboy from a previous generation, found them inscribed on golden tablets in the ancient caves of Fila. Declaring himself the chosen one, he presented his mythical findings to his deacons at the village of Lausanne, SUI. As a result he was declared a Prophet of United World Wrestling and his lineage leads the Church of Tweener Gripes of Latter Day Weights. The most prominent of his kin, Markus, was recently anointed bishop of one of those Latter Day Weights where his flock presented him with a medal of bronze in the city of Belgrade.

You are that guy. As noted above, she lost the Emperor’s Cup (Japan’s version of WTT wrestle-off) for the Olympic weight by finishing the winning takedown half a second too late.

We have a niche olympic sport. The little guys (wrestling, hockey, tennis, etc) and the no-future athletes like a certain QB going nowhere on the depth chart or professional level are going to get beat up and used as the compliance example of a cautionary tale for the revenue-driving sports. It is what is it is.

Imagine winning a world title and immediately being overtaken with immense sadness. The video (third slide) is pure gutwrenching pain. It certainly make a person appreciate the US trials process. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxc_iXxsQQy/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== (Insta doesn't embed on this forum so here are the first two pics but the video is the juicy part)
