Lack of training partners has become a very common excuse for guys who aren't intrinsically motivated enough to reach their goals. Joey Blaze doesn't seem to have that problem

If they weren't grandfathered in you take Cunningham's kids/Perry and have them wrestle club bc they don't need any scholarship money, can still train with the team, and aren't in the two deep any time soon. Cochran is a senior and Mirasola is just as good with a lot more eligibility so that could open up a roster spot

Davis, Nagao, Cunningham, Cunningham, Perry and Cochran all could be cut for one reason or another

Having a bit of trouble following but I get the general idea. So did Aaron Brooks or Kyle Snyder kill 5 hookers in Paris?

Carr/Takatani was at 76kg as well right? Could definitely see 74 being tough for him

Even if you don't want to be ramping up your veteran guys this early it's a perfect event to get backups some reps and use one of the 5 dates with your freshman to get multiple quality matches and see how they do in an actual match. If they joined and didn't use their best lineup that makes sense, but there is no justification for not attending at all IMO.

Oh yeah, religion and politics in the same thread? This is my kind of party, let's do this!

Sounds like VT can go ahead and slot in Bullock at 184. Another one for Jawn Cena.

Agreed, their backups could be competitive. Teams can't do everything, Midlands used to be fun CKLV is always great and now the entire sport is budgeting to send a squad to this event and it seems like they're turning their nose up at it

That's fair I went to a catholic high school and did not contribute

Uh the school has a benedictine abbey on site. There are plenty of reasons for a non catholic to go to a catholic school but it's not just a catholic school for nostalgia, that place literally houses a bunch of monks. It's as Catholic as they come.

I want to see Zahid vs. Dake go three and see how Zahid's gas tank holds up. If he can wrestle a full 6 minutes in a given match he's our best chance at an 86kg medalist.

What would happen if somebody won the Open and got hurt training two weeks later? Would they be able to opt out and decline the bid?

When somebody asks you about a wrestling match in a public forum and you start quoting scripture avoiding the actual question you're snubbing all of those people that helped you

Not recognizing the people who do care and dedicate their life to helping you reach your goals is still wrong
