Most of the MMA fans seem lost when it comes to wrestler's accolades. I guess Bo stated he was a much better wrestler than Jon Jones and a lot of the MMA guys were saying how stupid Bo was. I tried to explain to them the difference between JUCO and D1, and they just weren't getting it, they were saying nobody could beat Jon in grappling.

Worse, Chris Sinor!

I think this year has definitely been a downer so far. The in-season tournaments have been weak, with the possible exception of CKLV. Is PSU wrestling any decent tournaments this year as a team outside B10 and NCAAs? There have been a handful of moderately entertaining duals. Things are looking up for the last half of the season though, I'm looking forward to some good B10 matchups and am curious if Oklahoma State can continue wrestling as well as they have so far this year. I'm really looking forward to OSU/PSU, of course I expect PSU to win big, but I'm looking to see if OSU is catching up on them.

That match was completely insane. I felt so bad for Dennis!!

What's disrespectful about that? I've heard OSU referred to by a lot more insulting things than "Okie State".

I was super pissed that OU didn't hire Smith as HC when they had the chance.

Didn't he have 6 falls at NCAAs one year? He pinned 3 guys and got pinned by 3 guys. Fun for the fans, but I bet his coach gets ulcers.

To whom are you referring?

Too bad injuries wrecked his career. That kid should've been a 4 timer.

It's because of workout partners. Do you think mini-mite Brands boys are going hands on with 197 pounders like Glazier?

He doesn't have any decent workout partners pushing him.

I dropped 22 pounds in one week. We lost in the 3rd round of the football playoffs and my first wrestling dual was the following Thursday. I dropped from 190 to 168 to wrestle a state champ who obliged me by whipping me 21-0, this was before techfalls were a thing. He wasn't THAT much better than I was, but after starving myself for a week I was as weak as a kitten and he just tossed me around like a gorilla does a suitcase. It took me a couple weeks to get back to feeling decent again, pulling big weight sucks balls.

I'd say the best matches I've seen were the Dake/Taylor matches at the Scuffle and NCAA finals, and the Mark Schultz battle against Ed Banach in 1982.

Where is Cassioppi wrestling? I thought he was done?

Nobody wants to get stuck under a guy 50-100 pounds heavier than he is. I think they should bring back unlimited HWT, but with a caveat: it's still limited, but to 350 pounds. That would allow nearly all the fat boys who are great HS HWTs to continue wrestling in college without giving up on football.

Hamiti still looks skinny as a rail. He could pack on another 10 pounds and not look thick at 184.

It wasn't 100% joke. I was super bored watching Lee do the same old thing, over and over again, and nobody being smart enough to figure out how to prevent it. Until Ramos.

It wouldn't be much of a super fight. Both of those tournaments were weak this year.

My Fr year in HS there wasn't even a 190 pound weight class, it went straight from 178 to unlimited HWT. I saw guys who weighed around 180 pounds wrestling guys who weighed well over 300 pounds. There was a kid from Coweta who weighed 440 pounds.

Yeah, an entire squad of Olympic golds.

You guys are lightweights if David Taylor grosses you out. Remember Les Miles, the football coach at OSU and LSU? He ate a booger on national TV.

My bad. I thought he was a HS kid last year.

Not only that, but I bet he's a lot more excited at the prospect of wrestling for DT than Grandpa "Get off my Lawn" Smith.

But couldn't either of those guys still redshirt at this point? If Ferrari is better I'd start him and RS Arnold just out of greed for NCAA team points if I was Tom Brands.
