  1. Hey hey I already made that joke!
  2. Agree his comments seemed mainly in reference to Downey. One because Downey won a match and two because apparently people thought he should have won the second as well. It couldn’t have been in reference to Nolf because his opponent didn’t do the lay on his back thing.
  3. Everyone did. It was an invitational, there were only 16 guys in each of the 2 brackets
  4. What “many” great competitors is 57kg too high for? Kurt McHenry? He’s the only one I can think of.
  5. I’ve seen this described as “the best match in the history of the sport”: I’ll give them them that it was pretty entertaining, but it reminded me of a county level high school wrestling match with some chokeholds mixed in, and at times looked like 8 year old siblings fighting each other when the one guy kept putting his hand over the other guy’s mouth.
  6. According to Chael, the “strong rumor” is Zuckerberg, but Jones says it is a “crypto guy”
  7. Is Flo part of the reason people are “flipping the bird” at it?
  8. Just speculation but I’d imagine Gilman and RBY hadn’t practiced together much since RBY graduated
  9. I took a peek at the OSU forum, there was some innuendo about Williams, such as a post from June saying that Williams had “been getting in trouble,” some from November saying that he “continues to make poor choices” which led to him being in the “doghouse” at one point. But even among their fans it didn’t really seem to common knowledge though
  10. RBY, Gilman and Fix all training together. Combine them into one person and they probably beat Spencer
  11. This will always be my favorite song about moving to Austin (language NSFW, I have never been to Austin so can’t speak to it’s accuracy)
  12. He’ll be coaching youth wrestling, so wouldn’t be surprised if he still competes
  13. I’m sure we’re the best overall but there are quite a few events where we’re not: 800: 1 total medal since 1996 (bronze). Kenya has won the last 5 gold medals (4 different guys), last US gold 1972 5000: last gold 1964, zero medals between 1968 and 2012. 10000: last gold 1964, 2 total medals since 1968 Marathon: last gold 1972, 2 total medals since 1980 Discus: no medals since 1984, last gold 1976 Hammer throw: no medals since 1996, last gold 1956 Javelin: no medal since 1972, last gold 1952 (only one ever) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_athletics_(men)
  14. Oh crap, didn’t realize it was even scheduled for the same day as ADCC…
  15. In reading a little about this, I didn’t realize that apparently it was started as a way to compete with the ADCC in part because of low prize money (all invited participants were paid $10,001 or $1 more than the winner of ADCC), and also wanting to broadcast it for free as opposed to people needing to subscribe to Flo…
  16. I didn’t watch and know nothing about BJJ, but it seems people thought Downey should have won his second match too. Here’s one example:
  17. Guess we should send our guys to Jeff Buxton to learn the gut wrench that Rivera has
  18. I agree overall it was good but there were some head scratchers: Takatani pinned call Rivera not being pinned call (hate to admit it) All the cautions that allowed Zhamalov to win his first match
  19. Guessing the Flo guys are happy about him coming to their area
  20. That seems to be the rumor. I guess they offered to show him the par terre starting position
