Lee gassed hard against Volk. On his way off the mat he tossed his headgear and appeared to say "I'm out/done".

It's a neat idea, I was for it for a few minutes until I thought of the scenarios that others have pointed out. How about: 1 point for a decision, 2 for a major, 3 for tech, 4 for a pin. Really puts a premium on the pins, which I think is a good thing

How many of the teams that participated in the national duals are doubling up with a holiday tournament? Not trying to be a butt, just genuinely curious but too lazy to look it up myself

That Pen St8 team has had some good wrestlers this past decade

Yeah... Title says it all. It's unfortunate. I'm pretty much forced to do some actual work this morning. Smh

No Ridge, no Gomez, no Glory. Why? Did they just get too fat after the holidays?

Is Glory's move up to 133 permanent, or does the coaching staff simply not wish to over-stress him with a tough post holiday weigh-in (smart move, he looked bigger than everyone at 125 last year)

I'm guessing he's referring to the fact that we can actually focus on the Focus on this board without threads being shut down

Oh wow they're gonna win by 33 points instead of 30, oooo ooo weee!!

C'mon dawg, you can do spicier. My caliente predictions: 125: Spencer Lee (I'm under contract) 133: Bouzakis 141: Alirez 149: Henson 157: Peyton Robb 165: Peyton Hall 174: Tanner Cook bumps up and catches Starroci in his signature move, the underhook. 184: Ach, as much as I want to put something spicy here, it's hard to pick against Brooks. Love how he wrestles and carries himself 197: Woodley 285: Davison

I think the poster you quoted was actually referring to me... And they had a good point. I had a brain fart and completely forgot about the year Cael won a co-hodge. That was before I followed wrestling. In my defense, I was still but a child

Look at that, you're starting to make some sense AND you haven't used the terms "boy" or "eh" in over a page! I'm so proud of you!! We've made great progress today

Can you show me the quotes? I can't find them

Read what, exactly? You're not saying anything.

tap out. You scared or something? I'm confused as to what your point was this entire time. Help a boy out

What exactly should I be reading? You asked a question about Hidlay's underhook. It was answered. What did I miss? If you have something profound that you think people are missing, maybe better writing on your part is the answer?

No one called you a fool. Neither did anyone call you a dancer. Yeah, someone did say your underhooks may have sucked but that was after you admitted you never used an underhook in your life so how is that an insult? It's simply a deduction based on your own statement. You were, on the other hand, the first to resort to name calling, using "boy" in an obviously demeaning way. On that note, are you aware of the historical and cultural backdrop to that term and why it may, ah, not be kosher to throw around so lightly these days? Edit: ah, I have been mistaken. Somebody did call you a dancer. But there shouldn't be any shame in that. Dancing is fun!

Life on this board would be a lot better for everyone if the trolls were just completely ignored. I know it's hard, I struggle with it as well. The obtuse individual in this thread has no interest in contributing to any meaningful discussion. They get off on getting under people's skin. It's rather sad. They should be pitied, left alone, and allowed to pass on peacefully.

I wish they had never done the co-hodge but the year you are referring to was probably a stronger candidate for the dual award than when Spencer and Gable won it.

Those are some nice takes. I really like Yianni - his drive, mentality, and style. But, for the sake of chaos, I predict he doesn't win his 4th. I'm contractually obligated to always pick Spencer Lee, other than that, I like the 125 take. Who do you think is the front runner to emerge at 125? Beau Bartlett is boring as hell. I'm sure he's a good, hard working kid, but I would be annoyed if he won 141 with his style.

Wasn't that a different year? If not, the greater point is that the committee eschewed criteria and turned the Hodge into a seniority/career accomplishment award.

A few years ago, some jabroni actually voted for AOC for the Hodge. The committee will obviously vote whichever way their hearts point them towards, official criteria be damned. It'd be super sweet if Lee won the Hodge. But, c'mon, how do you give a season award to someone who likely will wrestle less than half the matches of the other contenders. It literally makes no sense! But that's the Hodge these days. Zain Retherford had one of the most dominant seasons in modern wrestling history but the committee awarded the Hodge to Dieringer because he was older. What a joke

Cael and Co absolutely can't do no wrong. Austin Desanto taking 20 shots against RBY == Desanto is stalling (because he's obviously not trying to finish those shots, he's just trying to tease out a stall call). Van Ness making a few milquetoast level changes/fakes == Paniro is stalling. Nothing could be more obvious, the ref is a fool! In some ways, I think that board is actually worse than HR. I can't stand some of the ridiculous takes on HR (Ironbird, ugh), but at least there is some semblance of a varied discussion there as opposed to the endless parroting that happens on BWI. HR is a better destination if you're seeking a laugh. BWI is more legible, but boring.

I'm not watching live... Was there a double forfeit at HWT or something? Edit: nvm
