Mr. PeanutButter

Why did I laugh? Whats your vendetta against these 3? They are nothing alike in terms personality or wrestling style. All 3 work really hard so I guess that is one commonality.

I don't think we see Teemer or Buchanan first semester. If so, I unfortunately have a hard time seeing the Hawks pull through against ISU

I would be interested in his thoughts on NIL. My understanding from the one person I talk to that claims to have an in with the program is that TnT are very uncomfortable with the current landscape (NIL, transfer portal) but want to do whatever it takes to be competitive and win (begs the question, are they THAT uncomfortable with it then?) Gable's rosters were not filled with a bunch of choir boys so I don't think recruiting AJ would be something he would scoff at. AJs actions probably did not impress him much though. All the wrestler interviews I have read or listened to the years, particularly recent ones from Lee, DeSanto, Lugo, Warner, Marinelli, and Kemmmmmmerererer were nothing but effusive in praise for their coaches passion and dedication. Who is requesting they change their actions? Bear in mind, Gable had plenty of mat side antics himself, just not featuring quite as many gesticulations.

Is he proven to be the one writing them checks? Getting 5th twice in a row would be considered a disaster so I think whoever is bankrolling these roster additions does think 1.5 mil is worth a 2nd place trophy

Does he actually have any eligibility left? Would be cool if he just went back to MiniSoda

I found it notable that he tore and restore his mcl and tore a ligament in his wrist. I'd make a joke about Carl running his guys into the ground but some people would think I'm being serious

If Iowa could somehow lure Richie Fig Newton over they could make this dual interesting (Plus do to ASU what Michigan did to Northwestern)

This is very interesting! Imagine, start period 1 in MFS, then, instead of par terre, the wrestler that wins the coinflip gets to choose whether to start period 2 in GR or FS

Teemer could have taken issue with the 500k and free apartment allegations and/or it being a "done deal" at that point

A potential finalist at 157 is really nice, like wiping your butt with silk nice. But if the rumblings about him wanting to go up to 165 are true, this looks like a weird move, unless Caliendo can make 157 (I am under the impression that Kennedy really cannot cut down below 165)

You're being too reasonable

I like the distribution but, man, how many people are going to make 55?

RBY, Gilman, DT, Kennedy all trained or worked together before at NLWC so I'm wondering how things will be different? Gilman had a great career but RBY, despite wrestling more freestyle than Spencer Lee since entering college, had a suboptimal Olympics. This is exciting for Cowboy RTC but I'm just not sure how this changes anything for RBY. Is he going to become LESS defensive training with Fix?

First off, I couldn't find any online sources to confirm this so take this with a grain of salt but apparently Mr. Pyles heard Rei say he would wait and see what UWW was going to do with the weights before deciding what his future holds. This got me thinking, what weight changes would you like to see? 59 63 66 71 75 80 87 93 100 130 is what I'd like to see.

I don't understand this move from a long term success perspective. Wouldn't endowing the RTC with mucho dinero yield greater ROI?

34 man bracket. 3 minute, single period sprint matches. Repechage is OK. Get fuxing rid of grounding. I don't know what I'm talking about

Brooks maybe could have benefited from a little more experience. He'll get there

Word? I'll make sure to bring cookies with me to LA

Man, this is tough to watch. Kyle needs to refocus fast

If you told me before the Games that Spencer, with his injury history and in his 1st year of international senior wrestling, would outplace everyone else on this team of veterans, I would have given you a cookie

I've never seen MP write something nasty or mean unless it was to point out the ridiculousness of another poster. Recently you wrote that the wrestling that mattered finally started. I get not being into greco or women's freestyle but that comment was supremely disrespectful to the fans and competitors of those sports and is more of a "bully" thing to do than any of the minor lights that you get yourself so worked up about.

I don't think anybody gets to the gold medal match by reveering 2nd place. He's an intense competitor in an intense sport who just had another one of his life's goal crushed. You expect him to be skipping and grinning during the medal ceremony? Spencer has always been very hard on himself. As a fan, I wish he wasn't. I think your 2nd paragraph features a bit of projection. I'm looking at his words right now and he plainly says he was disappointed with his lack of action and that he (Spencer) didn't deserve to him. How do you interpret that to mean that the guy that did get his hand raised didn't deserve to win?

Coming from a guy that regularly loses his cool over an emoji reaction on an internet forum, that's rich, to say the least.

Higuchi trained at NLWC for, what, like 6 weeks? And that was years ago. Brooks looked great though

Maybe I'm overthinking things, maybe I'm just searching for excuses, but the heavy bags under Lee's eyes make me wonder if he got scrappy sleep last night
