Gantry

I just need to go on the record and say I can't make 125, *maybe* 141 if I avoid eating a sleeve of Oreos like I did an hour ago.

UNI just full of scrappy mofos, kudos to them.

Bryce Meredith wrestled a year at NC State before transferring to Wyoming, should help the Cowboys greatly with "points in"

Cardenas hits that same double and turn in every match, it's pretty impressive people know it's coming but can't stop either.

Careful with those caffeine levels in tea though, especially black teas. I would not recommend a delicious delicious Earl Grey right before bed.

You want him to life the rest of his life with an asterisk? WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU?!?!?!

He's got a couple FFTs

JO wrestled (and beat IIRC) someone during the Lehigh dual, can't remember if that was this year or last year.

At this point have you pulled it out of the box and drinking straight from the bladder? Cause that's what our classy asses did back in the day...

They are both sparkling waters, so I don't think it's totally different. Maybe if it was more like sugary juice, but Lemon Spindrift is 3 calories.

It still amazes me how identical twins wrestled three weight classes apart for awhile there.

Spindrift > La Croix, no diggity no doubt

Diet Coke

This the "real" ESPN+ or one of those where you also need the ACC sub?

Was there an announcement I missed? He wrestled in November...

Is Camacho vs Robinison a sure thing either? You figure with Robinson hurt since Vegas Camacho would be in there. Camacho's last match was November at 133 and he INJ Defaulted, so maybe his season is over.

That makes Webster 1-3 in his last 4 matches.

I think the highest odds of Steveson not winning NCAAs (I'll go 5%) is that he just decides not to go to Big Tens and/or Philly. I can totally see a "j/k, just doing duals" out of him, though again 5%

Hardy always brings it, win or lose.

The announcers keep saying "Harchla" as if the K is silent. Is that actually how you pronounce it?

He looks great but i can't unsee that Vegas final where Lorenzo Norman was the better guy on their feet. He takes neutral in that match I think he would have won it.

Did Brian do the Mizzou dual? If so, I can vouch that he does an excellent job.

Please everyone show up, "we" need a dual like this

I think it's a "death by 1000 cuts" thing for me with my lower interest this year. Everything people mentioned has factored in - PSU dominance, NIL, transfer portals, consistent lack of premium dual matchups, people never graduating via Covid and just kind of sticking around, watered down early season tournies, lack of action after following free a little closer the last couple years, etc. There's no smoking gun really and I still enjoy college wrestling, but for a guy who has been to every NCAA since 2000 I'd be lying if I said I feel the same way about it now. Maybe my change in life priorities is the biggest factor, but given the other folks with similar thoughts means there's something to it. So yeah it's different now but I'm not 100% sure why.

Could very well be that Arnold is already moving down to 174 (maybe Brands isn't wrestling anymore this year) and has the descent rules and can't go there yet.
