USA wrestling does baptisms now?

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)

Oh crap, didn’t realize it was even scheduled for the same day as ADCC…

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…

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:

Guess we should send our guys to Jeff Buxton to learn the gut wrench that Rivera has

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

Guessing the Flo guys are happy about him coming to their area

That seems to be the rumor. I guess they offered to show him the par terre starting position

He’s trying to grow wrestling by getting more entries to WTT!

It seems Iowa has shown that doesn’t matter I don’t really think he will transfer, but I wouldn’t be shocked. Wasn’t the thought that he might redshirt this year anyway?

So… does this make it any more likely that Kasak transfers?

You knew that before yesterday? Odd that it never seemed to be reported really then. I believe even Pistols Firing said they were not aware of it before yesterday

Maybe could have put this on international forum. Oh well.

Basch reporting they have a “big name on the senior level” coming in. Minnow saying it’s RBY. Separate note, this came up when I searched Cowboy RTC on x. Not a great look if true:

Are you saying it wasn’t only a second chance?

Why do you think Kemerer turned it down then?

Isn’t that basically the same decision Kemerer had other than having a history there (plus Kem is just an assistant and Stutzman was going to be AHC)? He’s at Brown right? Great school of course but not exactly known for wrestling. If Bloom couldn’t offer enough to get him to leave there, not sure how “aggressively” they were really going after him. And wasn’t Bloom in financial trouble or something? It’s also in the middle of nowhere, compared to Davidson which is a very good school in an affluent suburb of Charlotte.

I don’t see any reason to doubt that the Davidson job was a done deal, but Stutzman just got another offer he liked better afterwards. I’m a little surprised Bloomsburg announced it so quickly though. It doesn’t seem like it had been in the works if the rumor was someone else was getting the job a couple days prior.

Sooo… Williams to Ohio State?

Ah gotcha. Well he didn’t say Teemer was living there yet, I’m guessing he may have been accurate if he said “offered” instead?

For the record his first arrest was a DUI, this one wasn’t
