In other news, the Penn State v. Iowa match starts at 125 lbs. No Arnold. No surprises in the lineup.

The only excitement in that last match was the suspense involving Angel Rivera's review after the match was over. All's well that ends ...

Last week against Iowa, Michigan won the first 5 bouts. This week, Michigan loses the first 5 bouts. Perhaps they enjoy symmetry

Lewan would show up to a duel with no bullets in his gun. He would simply wait until his opponent died of old age.

He has magnets in his shoes that connect with the earth's iron core

Lewan is now worried that he can't take it to SV since it is 2-1 Robb

Michigan shot their wad against Iowa. And now they are being bipolar, having lost the first four matches.

Why didn't Lovett choose top in the third? To me, it was a no brainer. Instead he lost the major and could have ridden Gomez for 6 plus total minutes to break him

The five stages of grief Denial Feeling numb is common in the early days after a bereavement. Some people at first carry on as if nothing has happened. Even if we know with our heads that someone has died it can be hard to believe that someone important is not coming back. It’s also very common to feel the presence of someone who has died Anger Anger is a completely natural emotion, and very natural after someone dies. Death can seem cruel and unfair, especially when you feel someone has died before their time or you had plans for the future together. It’s also common to feel angry towards the person who has died, or angry at ourselves for things we did or didn’t do before their death. Bargaining When we are in pain, it’s sometimes hard to accept that there’s nothing we can do to change things. Bargaining is when we start to make deals with ourselves, or perhaps with God if we’re religious. We want to believe that if we act in particular ways we will feel better. It’s also common to find ourselves going over and over things that happened in the past and asking a lot of ‘what if’ questions, wishing we could go back and change things in the hope things could have turned out differently. Depression Sadness and longing are what we think of most often when we think about grief. This pain can be very intense and come in waves over many months or years. Life can feel like it no longer holds any meaning which can be very scary. Acceptance Grief comes in waves and it can feel like nothing will ever be right again. But gradually most people find that the pain eases, and it is possible to accept what has happened. We may never ‘get over’ the death of someone precious, but we can learn to live again, while keeping the memories of those we have lost close to us.

Revised Revision (with a nod to Ockam's Razor): Hanging around is a bad idea. (It often means your life is going nowhere ... fast.)

How's that any worse than hanging out with drunks, who are all over college campuses, and probably more likely to get into fights? And someone who smokes from a bong (likely weed) is a far cry from being a junkie. Sounds to me like he should have stayed away from his ex, who may have been with her current lover.

This has got to be a classic "Carvering", right?

DT takes on a room of kids ... and eventually gets taken down:

He strikes me as a bit like the Andrew Dice Clay of wrestling, full of bluster and malignant narcissism, except not as funny

Did your friend run 2:09 (and change) and finish third? I see Rupp finihsed in 2:14. My fastest time is 2;56 ... quite a ways of these speedsters.

It's called "Us a Buzz !" In the photo of the near pin, you can actually see it is named in the background, presumably by AI. It's called "Us a Buzz," well, because it is keeping us (posters) abuzz. And a few creative minds might even suggest it is providing new ideas about how to enjoy carnal positions and (dis)pleasures.

David Taylor is still the G.O.A.T. of Unicorns. But I see you've enlarged the Unicornicopia of possibilities.

There's always a chance he focuses on his new career as a "ruburban" (rural suburban) farmer, raising goats, cows, and cats ... and spawning more daughters.

How does seeding go at trials ... at least at this point? 1. Lee 2. Alirez 3. Yianni? 4. Bartlett? 5. McKenna 6. Larkin 7. Valencia 8. Gross 9. DeSanto 10. Kolozdik Not sure where Meyer Shapiro and James Green fit in here or even Ladarion Lockett (each whom is qualified, along with Nashon Garrett). Shapiro seems too big for 65KG and Garrett too small. This is just a rough conjecture beyond #1 and #2. I'm assuming Retherford will go 74KG but that still seems to be an unknown. If he goes 65KG, he gets seeded automatically to the semis.

Yes, it's not the Olympic Trials or the Olympics where one might be more inclined to take the risks associated with wrestling. Let Lee go forward and try to qualify the spot. Live for another day.

My initial thought when Nick Lee scored the first points in the match was that he is clearly in Yianni's head. I now see that passing thought was both oddly prescient and now un-funny. (Yianni does, however, use his head a great deal in matches; for example, to post on it as defense or in a scramble.)

Aside: for those of you haven't seen it, I recommend the "Vito" film on FLO. Yianni has a big role in it, too.

Yianni was clearly dazed and confused. I kind of doubt he will be back out there for a second match

ah ... yes.

Yianni did not look right after that head bang. Why is FLO only showing the one match? Really strange. There are actually fans of women's wrestling out there, and don't they (FLO) want to help build and support this base?
