I still haven't seen "Unstoppable" and have no plans to watch it. As a wrestling fan I remember the story as it unfurled in real time. Plus I've seen too many of you goons ranting against it and I've already built up a little negative energy towards it. It's got a good rating at IMDB though (6.8) and a good rating on rottentomatoes.

I'm a first cousin, 21 times removed, from King Edward I (Longshanks). I think I read somewhere there's another 75 million people today related to him, hehe. Oh yeah, the French princess in real life (that Wallace banged in the movie) was only 8 or so when he was (ahem) "partitioned". All the battle scenes were hilariously wrong.

I could see weed being performance enhancing if used before a hot dog eating contest but weed doesn't seem like it would help the reflexes all that much in a wrestling match. I get what you are saying though.

Yet they test for weed.

I wouldn't be completely shocked if 184 was the only weight NIU wins, but I think they pick up 3 or 4 wins.

Do you think I go around memorizing wrestler's records like a fruitcake? Apparently you do.

I've never been on a championship team, I'd go for 4 team titles.

125 Spratley dec Anderson 3-0 133 Hughes dec Farber 6-0 141 Jamison dec Happel I think Jamison has surpassed Happel. 9-0 149 Young dec Realbuto 12-0 157 Downey dec Fish 12-3 165 Amine dec Thomsen 15-3 174 Hamiti TF Simma 20-3 184 Keck md Plott 20-7 197 Voelker dec Surber 20-10 HWT Hendrickson FALL Runyan 26-10 Black hats win this one but I can see matches going other than predicted at 141, 157, 165, and 197.

It is pretty amusing the way full grown coaches grovel to HS kids Iowa would be a good room for Bassett, the Brands boys do really well with the little guys.

I find that impossible to believe, unless Marinelli was taking it easy on the little fella.

I can actually see that happening, except for Kerkvliet. The one I question is when guys like the Banachs were saying Dan Gable, all 140 pounds of him, was dominating everybody in the Iowa room after the age of 40 with a bad hip. Obviously that's BS.

Knox is really good, too. He's also beaten Ayala and Bouzakis.

Here's how I see it 125 Ramos - I don't think Figs will round into top form by NCAAs 133 Ayala 141 Mendez 149 Henson 157 Kasak Shapiro will be wearing a leather football helmet if he makes it to the finals. 165 Mesenbrink 174 Haines Hard to pick against KOT, but I figure Cael will have figured out a way for Haines to beat him the next time. 184 Starocci My heart says Keck, my brain says Starocci. 197 Buchanon, but only because Ferrari is in a weak room and won't be peaked by NCAAs. HWT Steveson, although I think Kerk will make it interesting.

8 match minimum. That explains Steveson not being ranked.

Steveson not being ranked at HWT shows these rankings aren't super accurate.

Maybe his style just works well against Davis. Maybe it's a combination of both style and improving. He sure looked good vs Davis though and it didn't look like a fluke either.

You are correct, sir. Mendez is better.

At least you weren't dumb enough to grab a flamethrower and try to melt the snow under your vehicle!

He's fibbing. It was actually -11 low, and 11 high https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/windber/15963/january-weather/340533

That'd never fly. The conference tournaments in themselves are more popular than national duals. I guarantee if you asked 100 hardcore college wrestling fans if they want to get rid of the B1G conference tournament to institute a "national dual meet" that 95% of them would laugh in your face. How about having national duals early in the season? Invite the top 8 or 16 teams per the dual rankings and have at it PRIOR to CKLV. If PSU doesn't want to participate, fine, scratch them and invite #17, and so on.

My thoughts are this: I don't like it. I'm old school and weight dropping should consist ENTIRELY of 1) working out with regular sweats and plastic sweats at the same time, 2) running for hours in aforementioned plastic sweats until you smell like a moldy jock strap, 3) eating an entire bar of Ex-Lax and "browning" your brains out for a day before the match, 4) induced puking. Paddling the soles of one's feet to induce sweating is optional.

I don't see what the problem is with national duals and PSU not participating. If they did participate they'd win easily, so it seems like a great opportunity for another team win a national title, albeit in duals.

I'd make them do more than shovel the driveway I wonder if Morningstar's teammates jokingly ever referred to him as Lucifer, or Satan, or anything like that? Would be particularly funny if he was a really religious dude.

Didn't he win a medal for Puerto Rico in the Olympics or Worlds?

It scrubbed out my colon like 220 grit sandpaper.
