  1. Nah - your analogy is more like comparing Figeroa to Kirkvliet. Different size but still folkstyle. There's plenty of college wrestlers who are the same size as freestylers but are just not good at freestyle; and vice versa.
  2. Same sport - just different name, rules, moves, technique, scoring system, training protocol, and skills.
  3. Different sport
  4. No shame in making AA; that's a compliment. But there's also plenty of kids who don't have the advantage of his youth training environment who will have the opportunity to catch up.
  5. I said what I said.
  6. Both great athletes, but Ferrari could have been a 4 timer, while I don't see Downey winning even one. On a bigger scale, we're all the actual losers for never getting to see Ferrari v. Brooks compete for a national title (not current Ferrari but what he could have been with some discipline and 4 yrs. under John Smith on the OSU room).
  7. Bassett's ceiling in college is low AA regardless of school.
  8. If your kid is losing and you're not assaulting either the ref or the opponent's dad, do you even really love your child?
  9. There are so many things that can derail a college wrestling career - injuries, burnout, training environment, maturity, diet, grades, social pressures, etc.
  10. PSU should do this too - each week come out with a list of all the HS kids they're not going to recruit. Week 1 can be everyone who is 2nd or 3rd string on their HS team or went winless last season.
  11. It's not just the boomers who find it embarrassing. Sincerely, Gen X
  12. If a program didn't like the head coach, they'd let him go, not map out a multi-year strategy of hiring overqualified assistants to undermine him.
  13. Or maybe he's an insecure HS kid desperate for attention and his dad is his enabler. Also, rap still sucks and Elvis is a thief.
  14. I don't think he has wins over them, but pretty sure their dad beat both of them. That level of surliness doesn't come from nowhere.
  15. My sister and her girls ate ham sandwiches for lunch today. That ham came from a farm where illegal immigrants supply the labor. Therefore, all illegal immigrants are good people.
  16. He's trying this to increase his popularity and status in the MMA community. It worked for Colby Covington. I doubt he has genuine interest in national policies on infrastructure, housing, transportation, etc.
  17. I think it's funny you fell for his fake modesty routine ("I didn't win, Jesus did it for me!").
  18. It landed right next to him.
  19. $10,000 to the first man who brings me Aaron Brooks' Bible!
  20. When you're a nobody and you get a TD against Nolf, you have a moral obligation taunt. The Connor McGregor walk becomes mandatory.
  21. I suspect the renewed wrestling focus is because his football career may not be progressing as he hoped. I'm not sure he's giving up anything on that front.
  22. The only way I see this impacting wrestling is if programs use money to buy football players, but then for equity purposes need to "find" money to pay equal amounts to female athletes and that money may come from wrestling programs.
  23. Lesbian Dance Theory 101 Professor: Brandon Slay
  24. Didn't he just have his contract renewed a couple weeks ago? I think that's enough to "save his job"
  25. "Partying too hard" for a Mormon means they had Starbucks.
