Obviously learning to scramble without exposing your back is way up there in developing a Freestyle based takedown game. 

But for me personally, I'd like to see step-out and no overtime, implemented. 
I think it would make a better overall product.

i do like the idea of no OT

give them one one minute period if tied ... then done

She is a boulder, not a wrestler.  She just doesn't wrestle.  It isn't just frustrating, it is boring.

a lot of this going around

especially from USA 

why do we need a new team?

as people are posting in other threads?

we were supposed to win all these medals

lol

im wondering where the better product comes from?

you do have 'higher' level wrestlers...

but more exciting? 

the thing that makes ncaa less exciting is that PSU wins every year.

that will still probably be the case...

and that many of the high level duals are blowouts...

but at an evenly matched dual... it's exciting

the shot clock does NOT improve action. guys just wrestle thru it. no extra attempt.. nothing

SOME have begun attacking the guy on the clock to gain an extra point... but not many... 

most just take it as a time to relax and stall

And yet we all watch the Olympics in sports we do not care about. Because tribe.

Good question. How do the women handle this in college? Do they go three with video review or just one, or something in between?

i don't know.

taz looks like a weak lanky heavyweight

but man.

That was a mess of a post. What's your point child? If you have something to say, just say it.

you have posted nothing about the woman with the hijab being forced to wear it...

Bruh...what are you talking about?

I do like how we're actually ticking off all the sexist talking points including the "cackling." 

 

But I'm genuinely at a loss here. What point are you trying to make? A woman working one of the tables was wearing a Hijab, so that means...what now? How does this relate to Harris?

you must not have read the post you quoted was replying to

You're funny dude. So the thread was about a fundamental lack of economic knowledge and claimed we were headed toward this stock market crash because of Job numbers when it was actually about the Japanese Carry Trade and the BOJ raising interest rates. That was the catalyst(that and the market has been on SUCH an incredible burner that it was absolutely due a small correction, still up huge on the year)...

 

But Harris talking about making things more affordable, THAT you find objectionable?

 

why are thing unaffordable now? 

bidenomics was working ...

she has had 3.5 years... what makes her think 4 more will do it

and 3 who have a clue about the rules

im against a move to free.

for many reasons.

here is some logic.

we have a ref shortage.

now you are telling me we need 3 on each mat?

One of the rules that officials must follow is that there must be scoring by the first 0:45-1:00 and then again in the next same time period. So you will generally see a call at 5:15-5:00 (verbal warning in FS). It's not that important to determine who is to blame for the lack of scoring as to try to guess who will react by scoring when warned/put on the clock. If it's clear hit that wrestler otherwise, hit someone.

And it's about scoring- not just trying to score. You can be considered passive by constantly trying the same move that doesn't score unless it's clear the other wrestler is using "negative" wrestling to prevent the score. Different philosophy from folkstyle.

that rule needs to be changed

Dake was yelling and yelling

and JB says.. no it's not from the first period. look at the time.

Did anyone else notice a pretty big disconnect between Kyle and his coaches?

Cody seemed as confused what Kyle was talking about as the refs.

cody looked like he was trying to telepathically tell dake to shut up

It is embarrassing. Kennedy Blades was stopping to adjust her knee pads and hair. Using those old tricks to catch a breather. The whole team looks in poor condition which is one of the problems.

better or worse than cold spray

dont forget

didn't taz beat saduleav and someone else incredible in near back to back matches?

My guess is that the Chilean HWT actually lives in Chile. Does it make a difference? I’m not sure, but it’s an interesting fact. 
 

How many “Russian expats” actually live in the nations they represent? Zero?

 i would hope he lives in chile... b/c im not sure cuba would allow him to leave.

interesting point about the russians.. i hadn't thought about that... im surprised that russia would allow them to leave as well, if they do

the mat wasn't slippery for cox? 

i heard it

but they got the chance to try...

just ask the chilean HWT in greco

maybe Lee should have praised God and thanked him for the opportunity?

would that make him a better sport?

or would we be griping about something different... 

oh yeah

In this day and age, the concept that women should be expected to be primarily "baby-making-machines" is completely unacceptable. 

Modern day cavemen that believe and promote the notion should be rebuked (yes, the current VP nominee for the R's)

have you been watching the olympic wrestling?

if you have, im wondering if you have been triggered by the ref at the table in the hijab.

it could be her decision to wear it...

or is she expected to be primarily a baby making machine
