    Jersey Strong!

    Never underestimate the heart of a champion.

    The talent pool in football is deep. The 15th ranked running back could make the NFL. The 15th ranked wrestler at 133 or whatever weight class will never be recruited by the elite programs. It's night and day difference.

    I have no idea on what Basset plans on doing next year, but he should graduate early and enroll at Iowa next year. He is past high school in terms of competition.

    I heard Mitch Clark was a decent leg rider.

    I guess Iowa is still tougher and more resilient than okie state. Some things may never change.

    I could stream just about meaningful dual meet. I watched penn state vs Michigan at Michigan without any announcers. Just video. Is that option still available. I never said you could stream big tens or NCAAs for free. I'd pay for those events. $40 each. But, there's no way I'm paying flo or any other pay service outrage fees.

    It was easier to stream a dual meet 15 years ago. Most of the time it was just video provided by the host school for free. Now, if you don't have cable, satellite, btn or flo, you're out of the loop. Paying $2000 to watch wrestling is just too much. On a side note, I just watched a TV show that has two guys fight in a car. That's on free TV. But, amateur wrestling is pay per view?

    He is the goat of beating Bo twice. Neither one is a goat.

    He was the only coach who would let Snyder focus on freestyle over folkstyle. That alone, is one of the best coaching decisions in recent wrestling history.

    That's my point. I will say that our elite wrestlers are good as ever, obviously. But the sport as a whole is dying. I don't what it to die, but that's my opinion.

    Honestly, I have friends who have wrestled in college. None of their sons wrestled for more than a month or so. Straight to basketball or soccer. Their daughters played field hockey with several earning athletic scholarships. Why? Because their youth coaches were infinitely better.

    Random thoughts: It's an indication that we don't live in a warrior mindset. Let's face it, wrestling is hard even for the winners. Our country is soft compared to past generations. It's why travel soccer has millions of kids. It's easy and mom can get drunk at the Saturday morning game. Are Notre Dame or Oregon contemplating the reinstatement of their once solid wrestling programs? How about Tennessee or Syracuse?

    Where? I live in PA and most of the schools can't field a competitive team. Most of the teams have kids who were cut from basketball or cross country teams. Why? Because you are counting girl folkstyle wrestlers? I guess. If it's so popular, why have we seen so many programs dropped at the D1 level? We used to have over 100 teams. In 10 years we will be lucky to have 25 teams.

    First we blamed Title 9. No we are blaming the NIL. Our society is weak in terms of the commitment it requires to wrestle, let alone by an AA. Maybe, we can take a shot at synchronized swimming or gaming? That should definitely wake up the ADs to reinstate Notre Dame and Oregon wrestling.

    Nicka'sl biggest win in his life was over Myles Martin. Martin was his biggest loss (2x). Bo never made a senior world team as the #1 guy. That is all we need to know. But, yeah.....the best 86 kg in the world?
  19. The Kid
    Well, your impression is wrong.
  20. The Kid
    What's the big deal with Steveson? He came back after an ill advised wwe career. Yeah, he gave thr nfl a go too. Now he's back in his apparent 6th season at junior varsity. That's why no one cares. It's absurd.
  21. The Kid
    McHenry is a great wrestler, but in no way is he a world class athlete. What other sports does he competed in? Competitive pull ups? Or professional tag?
  22. The Kid
    Really? 103 kinda sucks with two guys grabbing each other's ankles and rolling around for 6 minutes between 9th graders. The were little kids. That's the point.
  23. The Kid
    Somewhere Gary Alt is smiling too.
  24. The Kid
    Yes, one session. Around $200 / 250 for all session tickets.
  25. The Kid
    $50 off of scalpers.
