  1. Merrill smashing Bechtold was also an eye opener for me; I knew he was good but was expecting a closer match
  2. Those last 15 or so seconds were fantastic
  3. I really liked how Travis Grace looked before he got his knee messed up
  4. I think it was originally supposed to be 4:20 but they pushed it back 30 minutes
  5. If Garrett Thompson, currently at Ohio, was the #4 seed at 174 and won 2 matches at NCAAs this past year, ever gets on the podium he might be a good answer - never even qualified for PA states. He's got one year left at Ohio to try and AA
  6. One could argue that every loss he had in college was either injury (Amuchastegui) or he simply was overlooking the opponent and suddenly it was too late (Letts/Dean). Definitely "coulda/shoulda" been an undefeated 4xer in my book
  7. Any Ed Ruth reference makes me just immediately go to him picking up the major against Hamlin in 2013; just silly
  8. None taken; gave me an excuse to add an avatar pic so I could make that joke. I will push back on Oregon St being the so called new kid on the block. They certainly can't match Okie St cause no one can; but they are like 4th in D1 history in dual meet wins (I believe only Okie St, Iowa St, and Iowa have more program wins) and have a Hodge winner. Just giving them a little respect is all
  9. Kind of a tangent but just some commentary on the Zain/Nolf vs Starocci/Brooks stuff. If you take out Starocci's 5th year to make it even: Zain/Nolf scored 165.5 combined team points at NCAAs Starocci/Brooks scored 154.5 combined team points at NCAAs Zain/Nolf essentially spotted them 13 placement points and still beat them by 11; thats crazy. I'm not a Penn St fan but I very much appreciated watching Zain/Nolf demonstrate their craft. . . much less so on the latter duo . . .
  10. In my defense, I've been on this board for less than week. Also my name is ScottishSteel not Dick; I know my profile pic may make me look big, hairy, and horny but it's definitely not a dick. Have a great weekend sir!
  11. To be fair - calling him a non-placer at PA states was still accurate
  12. I think Oregon St really believes in Hamblin and the growth he is capable of
  13. The funniest identity of the mystery team is Iowa right? I don't think it is Iowa - I just think that would be hilarious
  14. I wanna add Connor Hartman and Mike Macchiavello to the conversation but I think they both did win a state title (Washington and North Carolina respectfully) their senior years
  15. Just the national team mostly; Aberdeen in the SPL but admittedly that's loosely cause life and streaming challenges
  16. Just proudly Scottish; wore a kilt to prom, played the bagpipes, follows the Scottish national soccer teams etc.
  17. Related - anyone know what's going on w/ Chittum? All the speculation and people talking like it was confirmed was he was going home to Nooga but he wasn't in the article they put out today about transfers coming in
  18. I think that's just an Ivy League thing as the Ivies as a whole don't allow redshirts so the kid has to officially leave school to use their redshirt. Most other institutions this wouldn't work as the eligibility clock starts when they enroll so they don't have to unenroll to use their redshirt and if they've already used their redshirt unenrolling would still just be wasting a year of eligbility
  19. No offense to Corby but please don't connect me to Corby; thanks in advance
  20. The post I had originally quoted we were talking about Pitt; so Pittsburgh would be the city in question - which is indeed the Steel in my name as I grew up there but my fandom does not lie w/ a Pennsylvania institution
  21. My only question would be does Hayden want it? or does he want to settle down a little and learn at Stanford for a few years since he's bounced around a bit.
  22. We don't need anyone to elaborate on how a johnson pays bills . . .
  23. I have no idea if this is true or not but being in a city (as opposed to a town) in a place that loves wrestling would have to give them quality NIL opportunities, right?
  24. Pitt is the intriguing one to me on Melvin's list (assuming that's also Bo's list). Since my fan bias didn't make the cut, I wouldn't hate them all going there; would still be the face of the ACC as some mentioned
  25. Castiglione retiring too; don't think he would ever drop the wrestling program - can't say the same for the next guy
