Idaho

It's been awhile since the Beavers have beat ASU and last year the tourney was decided by a headgear celebration. Should be a good match-up. ASU has had several different lineups the last few duals. Ive got Oregon State winning a close one and ending the drought. 125 - Kaylor vs Courtney/Figs 133 - Shaner vs McGee 141 - Belton vs Vasquez - Interesting match up since Belton transferred out of ASU 149 - Gurr vs Parco 157 - Crosby vs Wilner 165 - Olguin vs Negron 174 - Olmos vs Valencia 184 - Munoz vs Montalvo 197 - Harvey vs Fagan/? HWT - Dixon vs Schultz

Yes... remove Penn State and Iowa and replace them with Wyoming and Oklahoma.

I wouldn't disagree with that... they haven't earned the right to duck yet. If they are not wrestling D1 starters or guys with a decent ranking, they aren't getting the quality wins they need to get the qualification.

How many of those wins were against starters? It seems smaller schools with lesser known names are ready to scrap much more than larger schools with wider known names. Nothing to lose I expect. It would be interesting to see which schools have had the most top 8 ranked wrestlers skip or "duck" a match.

The schtick that you pretend to be lots of things and they end up contradicting each other.

The schtick is getting old...

That's a good question.... they had a good thing going there for awhile and all the sudden this year the wheels are coming off. I am an Oregon State guy, so I might not be the best guy to ask, even though they are my next door neighbors.

My understanding is that the kid came back to his home school. Like many states, when you combine the inconsistent application of eligibility requirements with parents and loopholes, the result is usually chaos.

I third that!

If Wyoming is in Oklahoma, then yes I agree.

Not long after a good showing against ASU

Since he only wrestled up until high school his weigh cutting comment didnt' have anything to do with college weights... lol

The exact words he used were "considered transferring" not that he had "planned" Probably good to have the right words when you credit him with his "own words" . And no, they are not the same thing. I could care less about your take on this situation, but at least when you quote someone you should get their words right.

Maybe some story lines involving Gable down the road. https://www.pennlive.com/pennstatefootball/2023/01/penn-state-lineman-all-american-wrestler-land-nil-deal-with-wwe.html?utm_campaign=psufb_sf&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1pvUVzyNtsn32_KYvHekL0sCmCYC0HtSRncC0-ItkGYIP8N0edOIMpGxs

Why? 18 year olds are wrestling 35 year olds in international competition. 5 years with a redshirt would be 23 years old... completely within the normal schedule. I have seen a lot of young guys come in as freshman and knock off seniors. Happens all the time. If 17 year olds are actually competing on their college team during the season then they graduated young for whatever reason.

Facts carry more weight than any opinion. You know, the whole 4x undefeated champ thing.

But Tom Brands said he was the best he had ever seen and Jimmy posted it, so it must be true.

How are the 30 minutes broken down?

Is this 4 easy payments of 599.99?

Who would turn down 8 lbs of mashed taters?

Probably more of "losing" a couple pounds than "cutting" a couple pounds. Like that guy who could just skip lunch to make weight then complain that he was starving because he missed one meal.

I am somewhat surprised that Chlebove has stuck with the program this long, but kudos to him that he might finally get his shot. Although Norfleet wasn't a top recruit, people were very high on him, especially since he had a good deal of success his first two years, being ranked fairly high and qualifying for the NCAA tourney. Most people thought he would be a top 5 guy by now. They did get Schultz back into the lineup against Stanford and Negron only lost to Griffith 4-2... so I guess those are some positives. On a separate note, guys who look like a shell of their old selves, Abas has not looked good for a long time.

Not a good month for ASU. Very uninspiring. Figs gets the start in a conference dual - does that mean something? Norfleet and Schultz still out of the lineup. Truax also missing.

Remember that thread where everything goes wrong for PSU and everything goes right for Iowa and iowa wins the ncaa …

To qualify.
