We’ve been getting killed with that lace where their head is right under your crotch. Knox and Lockett in particular.

There may be a gap right now but Jayden seems physically immature compared to those guys. The old eye test tells me the sky is the limit for this kid.

I haven’t seen all of the matches but my god Sammy Sanchez and Jayden James are damn good. I hadn’t seen Sanchez much but that kid is quick and very impressive. James just seems so fluid and smooth. Love watching him.

If I see a ref on the mat looking up at a ref sitting behind a table 20 feet away to confirm a fall I’m turning the channel. I like the no amplitude idea. Does simplify it quite a bit. We need some connection with the athletes. The UFC didn’t take off until the ultimate fighter show. Training videos and interviews. It’s hard to root for someone you know nothing about. I’d stay away from an emcee announcing bouts. They often come across as cringey. If you have one at least hire a pro and keep it simple.

Hospital infections kill more people than car accidents and breast cancer combined.

Blah blah blah. It’s lame as hell that PSU isn’t going and you know it as well as everyone else.

So what, they are trying to create an event. It’s a national duals. Would be nice if everyone showed up.

Love Cael, but it’s lame as hell not to do this event when everyone else is. So lame.

It’s a little strange. If you know you’re going to get a suspension if you don’t comply, why not just tell them you’re retired? If you aren’t retired now you’re screwed anyway.

You have high schoolers faring very well at the world team trials, why wouldn’t AJ and Angelo give it a go? Do they do freestyle?

It makes it much worse for me. Add on to it his religious fervor…it’s a big time smh moment.

Yeah lost to Mendoza too. I don’t follow every result. They wrestled a close match more recently I think. May have been freestyle. I still like his chances better in folkstyle and stand by my prediction.

Love Vega. Reminds me of Saitiev, RIP. But he loves to scramble and funk and in freestyle that’s not as effective. I’ll take Bassett in freestyle but in folk I’d pick Vega.

Two things can be true. While I buy that, because it’s obvious, I do think in this case there may have been some thought into not allowing him to go elsewhere, specifically to OK state. They may have misread just how committed Ryder was.

Is this true? If so Cael and co need to bite the bullet and do what’s best for the sport not just their guys. And I get that they are paid to do what’s best for their guys. Come on, every other team? It’s a very bad look. If it’s not true and there are multiple teams not competing it makes it a little easier to stomach. But I still think the NCAA desperately needs a dual tournament. We do it perfectly in NJ. Dual tourney then individual tourney.
