Bulldog

Is that really him?

Did you predict Iowa State would win even without Carr in the finals? Predictable? Nonsense.

Washington has done well at Indiana. He went from a zero-time state champ to being a very solid D1/B1G wrestler. He could absolutely be a r12 guy this year and maybe even find a way on the podium. I wish this would help some recruits see some light at Indiana and Coach Escobedo could finally land the next generation of Hoosiers that will open more doors for him. That being said, as painful as the end of the Goldman era was, he still put his guys on the podium and even sent a few to the national finals...three times they won. Like everyone else, I think Escobedo is the sort of man I would want my own kid to wrestle for, but sadly am starting to lose hope again

Back in themat.com com days, there were a number of SDSU fans who made it very clear their now-former coach lacked in the integrity department...and it went way beyond him jumping ship to Madison.

Just listened to Starocci on the Basch podcast... Dude is so cringe. No doubt he is an all-timer and as tough as they come, but I won't be sad when he leaves for the MMA world.

I dont think it really matters what he was doing in that alley- accidently smashing rats, buying a small amount of drugs for personal use, or anything in between. Those like Ward who imply the narrative changes if Sasso was there making poor choices just don't get it. A young man almost died as has had his life altered forever at the hands of some even younger people who will prolly spend years in prison and come out even worse The whole thing is f-ing awful. Full stop.

Lame. Are you are saying in some cases like this, maybe adults buying a small amount of drugs for personal use, people deserve to be shot? Awesome.

I feel very confident posting that no matter what happened in that alley, no one deserves to get shot like that under any circumstances. The violet gun/crime culture in the US has got to end.

I just noticed wrestlers raised in Indiana have scored more points than any other US state in this year's world championships. Clearly, this indisputable data point indicates that Indiana is the Dagestan of the United States. Sorry Pennsylvania. Too bad, Ohio. New Jersey? Meh. Hoosierland is the place to be to win matches at Worlds.

C Bass is what is up!

Good grief. I know there are exceptions, but Iranians are Persian. The official language is Persian, also called Farsi.

In general, Iranians are not Arabic. In general, they speak Farsi.

Thing is, you actually have to wrestle to win wrestling matches.

Indiana isn't a lower-tier state. Where do you get that? Most people put it right around #10 or so.

Here is the problem with our system. Someone like Marsteller gets a couple of years to train to only beat Burroughs. Meanwhile, Burroughs is training to beat everyone in the world, and pretty much getting it done.

Who is commentating? Helen (I think) and who? EDIT- Nope. Im not even close.

Now I remember. Thanks.

Help me because Im not smart. Who are the wrestlers competing as UWW?

People are saying Lee is already at Indiana University, and Gilcher is going 165.

This makes me incredibly sad. So senseless.

Who knows what the actual situation would be, but from an outsider's view: If I were Ramos and given the opportunity, I would be thrilled to spend a couple of years being an assistant with Koll as it would be a tremendous learning opportunity and absolutely raise my value when the time came to take over my own program.

Is Spencer Lee training?

I swear I do not mean this with an intention to bring all the Iowa and PSU fanboys together to once again run their mouths at each other... I know they will all show up anyway, but here goes...

Bouzakis still alive.

I dont think it is any secret that black athletes, especially those expelled from Foxcatcher, were pretty hurt/angry so many stayed on after that round of Dupont sickness. Add to that anyone who continued after Dave's murder... It is pretty hard for anyone to stomach.
