Nah..... just too much Flo.

yep paid for it and will gladly continue.... The bonus is no spinning during browsing. When matsavant starts getting a lot of traffic, that's when you will get the paywall as well.

ASU this afternoon

ASU is actually having some real wrestle-offs today rather than the typical freshman and 3rdvs4th guys.

OSUse.... is that better? Makes it sound like new model of electric car.

141 looks pretty stacked for OSUe... Ronnie Ramirez may be the spoiler here.

Yep... looking forward to the quad at Binghamton this year. He does a good job of scheduling teams that will benefit greatly. They came clear out to Oregon State two years ago - was the largest crowd in Gill that year and the largest dual meet ever I believe.

Yeah, he's not listed on their roster at NDSU.

Not necessarily a portal, but did Max Petersen of NDSU (R16) end up somewhere else?

Sit here and look at the fields and mountains with a cup of coffee.

Yep - Fall has arrived... laptop and TV going at the same time with wrestling and CFB.

Hmmm... good to know. I can see that. At the end of the day, do those tournaments just change the name to "invitational" and keep doing what they are doing? All they need to do is send invites out to all the schools that are local and all the schools that typically send kids. I don't think that it's going to mean much for the Roadrunner Open to be changed to Roadrunner Invitational. I think most or all of the same teams will still be there. I can see high school kids being affected by it not being an open because they technically would not be part of an invite. I think it will also be at the determination of the coach for each wrestlers development as well. Sending a #3 or #4 guy on the depth chart to the same tourney as your #1 and #2 might not be what is best for their development.

Science, Technology & Society

A lot of invitationals only allow for one wrestler per weight. If that continues to be the case, then I would think you would want to attend opens in order to get your backups some matches throughout the season. That's one of the good things about an open is you can have as many per weight as you want. It's also a good way to determine starters in weights where you have two guys that are pretty close. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
