Barr is not the least bit undersized. That's nonsense. He'll stay at 197 and I look forward to him pummeling AJ

holy guacamole. You leave the boards for an entire day and look what happens. Anyways, if Rocco and Ryder are both at PSU, that makes the "path" to the championship finals that much easier, right? Which also means potentially less points to be had by other teams. What if Kale's grand plan is less about getting 10 individual champions and more about getting everyone else to zero? Oh, the calamity!

Maybe Anthony Ferrari is transferring to ISU hence the reason for Chittum's departure. But, damn. ISU appears to be melting

portal sure getting steamy. But what I'm really interested in are the guys that just suddenly appear on rosters in the fall, a-la Buchanan and Teemer.

Bro, you can't start this bombshell and not share at least some of the details of what happened... I need my fix!!

sigh. that "unique champs" number for Brands is sad

I've wondered this too. Iowa has a brand deal with the UFC. Is this somehow related?

Good move. Go to PSU, score some eye opening dual meet wins as a backup and then transfer to VaTech for 4x the original offer amount

he got just a smidge under 70k

Dang. That will suck if Byrd left Illinois. He was effusive in praise for the coaching staff in an interview that I saw

It's part of his act. But in all seriousness, I think he was being a tough guy after the whistle.

Oh good. PSU desperately needs another hammer. Not able to listen to FRL at the moment but have they discussed what his eligibility is like? My understanding was that he had been in college a couple years already. Is this a 1 or 2 year stint?

Oh man. Just checked twitter. The public is absolutely mauling Kasak. The sheer magnitude of it is depressing, really. This is the kind of stuff that can really mess with a young man.

Upon further reflection, I regret my contributions to this thread. I think some discussion about PED use in collegiate sport needs to be had but I think my approach, and the general tenor that this thread has taken, was not the move. There is a lot of negativity in our sport (I think a growing trend), a sport filled with great people that should be celebrated, rather than torn down (best leave that to clowns like Rasslin2). I'm ashamed that, as time goes on, I've contributed to the negativity more and more. That's not something I used to do and not something I want to continue. College aged me would have kicked my ass for some of the things I've written.

These pictures were some of the top results I found on Google. Watch his interviews, particularly from Big Tens, if you want to be awed by acne. You can draw your own conclusions but I do not believe that degree of facial and body flushing is natural.

You are hilarious

I don't think there is "systemic doping" at any institution, including PSU. I do, however, believe there is widespread PED use on an individual basis on, probably, a scary amount of teams

Probably the guy with bacne and who's face looks like the charred hellscape of Muspelheim

Put my vote down for Wyatt. Biggest upset, dominant, complete season, including the most falls of any contender. Plus, from all accounts he seems like an upstanding guy who didn't post pictures of a dildo on his social media for thousands of kids to see, unlike Starocci Hollywood.

What's the rumor?

what da fawk? This is bizarre. I seem to recall him being VERY vocally anti-Iowa in the past. If this is indeed true, I really hope Iowa passes. I've heard a lot of rumors about behavioral and off the mat issues.

the DT era is here

holy
