  1. I'm from Central New York; my wife is from Tampa. AZ is to far away and Ithaca and Ann Arbor are too cold for my wife. So, Raleigh for me. (And maybe my son, if he chooses not to swim in college.)
  2. My best guess for Penn, with no inside info. A lot of stability, and hopefully one or two break through/repeat as AAs. 125 - Gallagher 133 - Ryan Miller (lose Colaiocco) 141 - Composto 149/157 - Swisher/Wasilewski (lose Revano) 165 - Sement 174 - Incontrera 184 - Hale 197 - Cosgrove (lose Urbas) HWT - Delsanter (lose John Stout)
  3. Seems like a question too subjective to answer. Tempe is very different than Ann Arbor which is very different than Raleigh which is very different than Ithaca. I know what I would pick given my background, but others would pick other places for very valid reasons.
  4. The Iowa State AD was a doofus, Penn State was a sleeping giant, and Penn State also rolled out a Brinks truck.
  5. Hendrickson is entering the WCAP program - nothing but FS moving forward. https://myairforcelife.com/air-force-wcap/
  6. Hamiti (or anyone else) would not be able to compete at any Ivy League school as a graduate student, and Ivy League schools are highly, highly unlikely to accept any transfer this far along into their undergraduate academic careers.
  7. I’ve worked in media for 30 years. I’ll keep my comments just to the finals, because I watched Matcast for the other sessions. First, no one tuned in to the finals Saturday night because DC or JB were on the mic. In very rare occurrences do announcers either draw or repel viewers. Casual sports fans will find our sport when there is a compelling on mat story or depending on what else is on TV. I will be curious what the ratings will be tomorrow given the multiple Penn State storylines. I do like my sports telecasts pretty straightforward. From a production standpoint, I think the telecast should’ve had DC or JB, not both. Four in the booth is too many, and DC and JB were largely filling the same role. They crowded out Mike Couzens, who I think is really good at play by play, as well as Rock Harrison, who should have been allowed more time to speak to the rules, particularly during 133 and with the inconsistency of the stalling calls throughout the finals. i do think DC and JB would have been really good by themselves on an alternate telecast where they could riff for hardcore fans without having to worry about “calling” the bouts, like the Mannings do for MNF. Maybe next year.
  8. DC and Jordan are wrong. You don’t attack the injured leg - you attack the good leg and make your opponent fight off the bad leg. (Trust me - I have no ACL in my left leg.)
  9. Molinaro. I was at that match in Philly. I think the entire arena yelled,”Noooooo!!!!”
  10. Quint: “Tactically, what made the difference.” Henson: “Fool took top.”
  11. Across every sport, replay has made referees more tentative.
  12. Please don’t put more matches in the hands of Angel Rivera.
  13. No. Because the RT clock stopped on the locked hands call, Fix actually had a 25 second RT advantage when they restarted with 9 seconds left.
  14. As long as your happy with all of the matches that would be decided by stalling calls, then have it
  15. We’re not putting the replay genie back in the bottle, but I wish we could
  16. I disagree. Too many coaches waste challenges in small situations. You need to save them for important moments (individual semifinalist, implications for the team score) even if the chances of success on reversing that call were poor.
  17. Davison usually has an edge in athleticism. Not tonight, assuming Wyatt is feeling himself. Also, I did like Wyatt's approach today v. Big Elam. Nice and boring. No need to overextend himself and impress the masses.
  18. Feldman need about 30 more pounds to finish that shot.
  19. Foca taking a year's worth of frustration on Ayzerov.
