Who’s not giving him respect? Flo and Intermat both have him #1

Watching the video, it does appear that the other guy threw the first “punch,” albeit from very far away.

Does Jimmy eat any Cinnabons?

Name them JB! In the spirit of the Christmas season, I’ll start. “A Wrestling Christmas Miracle” is probably the worst movie I’ve ever seen.

Looks like we’ll have to wait until it’s on Amazon Prime. Kinda sounds like one of the last wrestling movies to hit Amazon Prime, the Last Champion, which was OK but IIRC very typical sports movie.

Well that’s disappointing

What exactly was the conspiracy? Wasn’t it that the FBI instigated the riot or something, not just a few of them maybe being in the crowd?

Yeah that’s what the reviews made it seem like. How was the wrestling?

How about this?

Did anybody see it yet? Looked like it was out last week and the closest theater was about 40 minutes from me, but may be gone now.

So how common is it for brothers that are both D1 prospects to go to different schools? Seems like it doesn’t happen all that often which surprises me.

I guess he’s trying to avoid getting concussions

Redshirt year doesn’t technically though right? Would still only need 11 more not counting it though

Ok you’re right that guy (who Luigi retweeted) is anti-woke. Sorry was unable to decipher that other tweet

Makes sense

It’s not clear to me who that poster is referring to as “the levelers”

Fair enough. Interesting you give Ayala a shot to win but not Parco, I’d swap those 2. I’d be surprised if Kueter lost to Slav

I’ll preface this by saying as I did above that I’m taking Iowa as long as they still have a mostly healthy Teemer. But I don’t think those two particular statements are far off. Parco and Spratley IMO are similar in that they both have a shot to win but more likely will be in the 3-5 range. I’d give Spratley a better shot of winning TBH just because 125 is so wide open. Both Jamison and Ayala are more question marks at their current weight, but I’d give the edge to Ayala. My issue with the “floor guys” comment is moreso that I don’t think they’ll really matter. I don’t think Iowa fans are really counting on any points at 125. Block could score about as much as Wittcraft or Young, but not both IMO.

Agree with a lot of this but not all. How exactly do you define “small adv”? I feel like after 149 it’s about even which would then give Iowa a bigger advantage after 157. I also don’t think it will come down to the floor guys, for example I don’t think Iowa fans are expecting much from Block and Petersen. I think it will come down to how many champs they can get (OK State really only has 1 possibility though I guess you could give Hamiti an outside shot, Iowa has 3 IMO and that would include Parco who you only have in the “contributor” bucket), and what spots the contributor guys get on the podium. One other comment is that IMO Kueter is probably the most “under-ranked” of anyone on either team. I think he is probably a safe bet to AA especially if it seems like Bastida and Feldman are dealing with injuries.

Apparently both Julian Ramirez (twice, in a match he was losing 18-9 to Maag of George Mason before coming back and getting a fall) and one of their grayshirts Jaxon Joy went into concussion protocol but finished matches during the Patriot Open. Here is the post on their forum from klehner who used to post at themat: ”And...concussion protocol for Jaxon Joy in the final while up 10-1. Finishes match 11-1 looking okay. Next match, Ramirez...concussion protocol early in first period. I kid you not. Restarting. And another in the second period (while actually losing 8-5). Restarting, FFS. Losing 18-8 to guy from George Mason. Bordering on coaching malfeasance on Yianni's part. Losing 18-9, gets a fall at 6:33. Crazy.” https://www.bigredbears.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=717&p=10122&hilit=Joy#p10122 The most interesting thing for me with concussions seemingly being more common at Cornell than other schools (and possible it’s just bad luck) is the dichotomy of how they were “overly cautious” with guys sitting out against ISU last year for example. If they want to make sure unenrolled guys finish matches at the Patriot Open, we better see all their guys take the mat when they have a tough matchup.

With Teemer, I would still bet on Iowa. They both have quite a few guys that could have a wide range of placements so those guys could certainly determine it. But I feel like Iowa has more guys that are safer bets for the top half of the podium - Buchanan/Caliendo/Parco/Teemer vs just Plott/Hendrickson/Hamiti IMO. And 3 of the 4 Iowa guys have a chance of winning it all, whereas the chances are slim for those OK State guys to even make the finals given who else is at those weights. Spratley probably has the best chance of winning it all for OK State, but he could also DNP.

I don’t believe politics really has anything to do with this murder, but fwiw here is the post he retweeted that refers to the “woke mind virus.” It kinda reads to me like this comment is in support of the “woke mind virus” as it promotes equality.

Hopefully it didn’t contribute to his back pain…

He won’t major him, but he could certainly beat him.

For this reason I give them a pass on Yianni, he’s also a grown man that was trying to go to worlds.
