  1. espn shows the one thing that is marketable in wrestling nbc hardly shows wrestling during the olympics
  2. good to know i have been to many events...and never have seen an explanation they show video... but never any explanation
  3. someone suggested in another thread that they explain every call that is reviewed i dont know about during match...but at least after, in press conference.. something... its almost like the old days of international and cary kolat they talked about it.. you lose.
  4. get rid of step out. they had to add the caution and 1 b/c guys were gaming it
  5. funny you should mention turtle up im happy for chance... great story and all... but he did a lot of turtling up
  6. deserved... lol... you dont work your ass off to have crap like that...either way this is why college should stay folk
  7. i was told this isn't the place to whine about flo
  8. i saw an add bogo. hmmmm all in one place maybe not a good idea
  9. if i slap someones purse... is that assault?
  10. tampa is easy to fly into.. fly into clearwater/st pete
  11. there is no SUPER LIKE button.. but it needs one for this response
  12. worst or best. i would say brooks interview generated more interactions on a wrestling athlete than any other interview in history any pub is good pub?
  13. I dont see any problem with the way FS does it. I like FS. we dont need to make it folk. just like we dont need to make folk FS
  14. you have to let go of the hold.. hence you see spencer lee showing the ref his hands a lot..when working his tilts
  15. brands might be referring to gable's philosophy of peaking.. it's not about peaking you dont have the valleys i will have to do some looking for the graph
  16. i actually was going to type up something like this... and ran out of time.. then forgot about it maybe we push freeco back a few months... so its not right after NCAA's... this wont always work b/c of UWW schedule... if we move NCAA to only spring, this will make a bigger problem i think but I could attend a summer event after a spring event... just not really two spring events, b/c time, work and money
  17. i think its still exciting.. b/c in folk, the people rooting for the bottom guy are hoping he gets out. its not that easy to ride out...
  18. thats a possibility for sure... is brooks not as good as valencia? yes valencia has no lungs... but brooks really didn't do much until the 2nd im not sure about the others
  19. so you are saying b/c it might be easier to score more guys are taking the risk and shooting? this could be true... i still would like to see some data there were lots of come from behind wins... but most times i attribute that to the guy who was behind finally started to wrestle
  20. what if we treated the rtc's like a pro team with a salary cap... and they competed in duals... i know its been tried before... but those weren't affiliated with a school
  21. again, i apologize... i thought you were referring to my post. yes i agree, the pics he posted weren't representative
  22. i dont disagree really but we all KNOW , that stalling isn't going to get called to decide a match... at least not very often
  23. yes, im sorry. I was unclear about my intentions. I am referring to people who want the pushout in folkstyle. I dont think it has really increased action. it has increased scoring... but it has also changed wrestling technique and not for the better
  24. the three point takedown intrigues me, but it worries me, in that it could shut down action ... if it begins to favor defensive/counter guys i like the new swipes... rewards people turning although i know many people whined when the 4 point turn was introduced b/c of the 'cheap' titls.... isn't that the same argument.. you dont want to get laced... keep ankles apart... dont want to get cheap tilted... keep good position and get out not sure about riding time only if you get a turn... i hope it will increase turn attempts... but it may increase stalling on the bottom... b/c i know he wont get a point if I can just maintain my base... again.. it would be nice to see some data on this... or a trial run somehow i have just always been keen to the phrase be careful what you wish for again, scoring isn't going to increase attendance. action is. drama is. (im not sure a stepout in FS has increased this) how do the attendance numbers at US open compare to years before the tactics of a match aren't going to increase attendance.
  25. the 80's called , they want their foreign policy back or something like that another great argument you just made the sad thing... even if we did wrestle FS our whole lives... we still wouldn't understand the interpretations we get... many coaches who have coached for decades still shake their heads... and not just from US refs see kolat, mc, and a host of others but yeah.. you maybe have some kids to invite to a drag show?
