I always was curious what would have happened had the 2xer Junior Sanderson had gone up to face fellow 2xer Senior McCoy at 197lbs a year earlier. It's a shame both went opposite ways for MFS.

I know, I was just giving you a hard time.

Because he didn't have victories. I would count the lone victory he got in their first ever match, though - personally. That is it, though. So 1W - 84L to Dake. Here is a sequence of events for you. Sharifov beat Sanderson Sharifov beat Snyder Taylor beat Sharifov Dake beat Daylor I don't think there is as direct a path to comparing Sanderson and Dake the other way (Sanderson > Dake).

He went from getting dominated by Schultzy for a couple years to beating him at OTT this year, so I do think that he has evolved a bit.

As unfortunate as I think it is, I do think that MGR might struggle quite a bit. MGR is a tertiary subject here in the states - at best. Overseas it is seen as an equal to MFS. That said, Coon won Silver a few years ago based off an absolutely insane draw. With any draw, all of our gents could win a couple. One thing to take in to consideration is that a few years ago Malik Amine advanced further than Zain Retherford at 65 KG. I mean that with all due respect, as there are only a handful of people who even know of this forum's existence that have made the trip to a Worlds, let alone wrestled in it (so eat shit haters). This said, it is the Olympics. There are no unbalanced brackets or randomly favorable draws. They seed the Top 8 people, which are people that have won and earned points by wrestling in extremely difficult tournaments within the last year. There might be more potential for landmines in a Worlds bracket of ~128 people, but there are far less valleys to have to trudge through in a 16 man bracket. Every match will be a slugfest for each of our gents. 77 KG - As dynamic as Bey is, the Eastern Bloc gents and the other elites are just far too disciplined to give a shit - bluntly put. 87 KG - Jacobson is young, man, and he is at the Olympics. He is our darkhorse to bring home a medal, even if he was the 'least' likely Olympian. If you look at our four qualifiers, Jacobson is the one that we go "Who is that?" to. 97 KG - Rau has had an absolute tear of a time since going up... against domestic competition. He 'lucked' out of not having our 26 year old former medalist in Hancock retire three years ago and his presumptive replacement Amos having been injured. I mean no disrespect when I say this, but Rau is not a 97 KG guy and would have to have the best tournament of his life to get to a medal match. I am hoping he does. 130 KG - Coon is a massive man. For 130 KG gents, he is about par for the course on size. So his length and size advantage that he uses on everyone except Schultzy here in the states is gonzo. I believe he has the best chance to medal, since he has a Worlds silver to his resume. I will obviously be rooting for every USA athlete in every sport. I cannot ***ducking** wait, gents!

Doesn't change my statement the slightest, mate.

MGR 77, 87, 97 KG Bey, Jacobson, and Rau all wrestle for medals, albeit bronze medals - all with a 49.5% chance of winning. Bey - Random number generator between 0 and 1000 gives us 657, meaning he wins his Bronze match. We see him pull off at least two high-flying Bey bombs in this tournament. Jacobson - Random number generator between 0 and 1000 gives us 151, meaning he loses his Bronze match. He is in every match he wrestles, though - which gets us rather excited about his future in this sport. Rau - Random number generator between 0 and 1000 gives us 638, meaning he wins his Bronze match. This would be a storybook ending for our MGR squad if not for what I am about to lay down at 130 KG. Not trust me... because I will llay it all out there for you and you will eat my minced words. When it happens, you will all collectively shit your pants. 130 KG Four time Olympic Gold, five time Worlds Gold, and three time Worlds Silver medalist Mijain Lopez gets drawn in to face the #1 seeded Iranian in Round 1 - beating him. Coon wins a back and forth 6-2 match on a last ten second four pointer in Round 1. Coon then decks Lopez on a simple, early throw. He gives a generic interview "This is what we practice for every day. Thank you to my family, thank you to my coaches, and thank you to Baby Jesus. This is what we practice for every day. It's just another match we give 100% to." etc... Coon then wins the semi-finals similar to his first match. Back and fourth... needs another four pointer in the last minute to win 7-4. Coon then wins his finals over whoever has the balls to take the mat with him via 1M17S Pinfellery. I will let your imaginations flow as to how I will celebrate there. Essentially it breaks down to my entering the race for Presidency via accepting both the Democrat and Republican nominations simultaneously, with Trump announcing that I am 'The Best. There has never been anyone better.' and Hitlery calling it a 'No-brainer.'

WFS 50 KG Hildebrandt 'shocks' the world via not losing to Susaki via TECH in the finals, and brings home Silver. 53 KG Parrish has won it all before, albeit not during an Olympic year... BUT... she grinds her way through to the finals. Also brings home a Silver (while beating #1 seed from Ecuador enroute to the finals, btw). 57 KG Maroulis dominates everyone not named Sakurai enroute to a Bronze. 62 KG Miracle scratches and claws and grinds her way to another Silver finish for WFS Team USA, also losing to Japan (Motoki). 68 KG Elor doesn't allow a single non-shotclock point aside for the final 15 seconds of any match all weekend enroute to a Gold performance save for one exception: In one match she gives up the first Takedown, then Techs her opponent. A random occurrence. 76 KG Blades keeps her head 'out' of trouble and picks up steam, eventually pulling off a Techfellery in the finals. Overall: WFS Team USA brings home six medals. Japan does NOT get six medals, but sill wins based on the strength of going four for four in the first four weights. Obviously you gents get to see a Page 8 news bulletin on BBC titled "Where's the rest of the of the Heffer?!" with a photo of some elderly-ish black man streaking up the quad with a full, raw leg shank in one hand, a gallon of Jager in another, and the worlds 3rd largest beer hat on - filled to the rim with a concoction of Black Velvet and Natural Ice. I am talking epic proportion inebriation here, gents. I aim to overtake 'Florida Man' with 'Elderly-ish Black Man' by the time the Olympics are over.

Man... Bouzakis got BIG.

This isn't true. There were people on here calling me batshit for saying that Yazdani - Hidlay wasn't a match.

I am going to need a shit tonne of Natty Daddies and an Olympic Sized swimming pool of Captain Morgan for these Olympics. We are going to bring home so many un-asterisked medals. I won't sober up until Thanksgiving.

57 KG Spencer wins gold on a last second TD on Micic. He was up 9-0, then down 10-9 and Spencer gets that last second takedown when everyone had wrote him off as dead. 65 KG Zain pulls off at least two B&A on his way to Gold over... duhn duhn duhnnnnn... GOMEZ, who tossed him for four twice and still loses via Tech. 74 KG Dake wins via Dake Bomb in the Gold Medal match over Chamizo and doesn't allow a single point the entire tournament. 86 KG Brooks is drawn in to face Yazdani Round 1, similar to DT's first Worlds and BLAMMO: Brooks takes him out. Brooks then loses to Kurugliev. Yazdani doesn't medal. Kurugliev then loses to Amine. Brooks doesn't medal. Amine then beats Dauletbekov for Gold. I watch as the ultimate proverbial 'F-U' is delivered to my screen as Dieringer carries Amine around the mat on his shoulders and I slam three gallons of Captain Morgan and fifteen Natty Daddy's. 97 KG Snyder wins every match ~5-1 on the way to Gold. 125 KG Parris bears Zare via Pinfellery in 1M17S.

Don't forget Harman to Oregon State as well.

I spit coffee everywhere with that "...wake you up when September ends." bit. Epic.

RBY at +5000 seemed a steal.

We don't deserve you.

Pretty stoked at their recent recruiting hauls. Add in that NC State has a good couple classes as well as UNC & Stanford having excellent hauls and the ACC looks great right now. There is Pitt as well that just nailed the portal, too. Be nice to see another team in the ACC to get to 8, but I am okay with whoever earns the 1 seed at ACCs getting that bye. It ends up being an advantage earned by badassery.

Reader was up at 152 all year long for them, even bumping several times for the team. He came up from 135 or 140 that year. Reader's jump from his Junior season to his Senior season in High School was phenomenal. I still think, to this day, that he beats any kid in the state of Michigan that year. He could have bumped to 275 that year and won it rather easily, I think. Another interesting thing about that class (Michigan High School Division 1) that year: Ben Bennett was robbed in his semi-finals match against Sean Dong at 152lbs in Bennett's Soph season. Anthiony Biondo at 145lbs would go to the University of Michigan, Redshirt at 174lbs, and then go 197lbs for them for four years. He tripled in size.

I still think Metcalf VS Schlatter Round 1, which was at the Medina tournament in Ohio is the best High School wrestling match this side of Y2K... maybe on either side of Y2K. Being a Michigander and having my kids get their asses handed to them repeatedly by that era of Roy Hall's boys (and Metcalf was by far his best product ever), I went in very naive. The buildup for that finals match was intense. Everyone knew it was going to happen and every round it got closer, everyone started whispering a little more loudly about it. Finally it was going to happen and I couldn't believe my ears - Everbody (okay not EVERYbody... but most everybody that I talked to about it) wanted the match. They were all saying that Metcalf couldn't handle his pace or his power and it completely blew me away because Metcalf hadn't wrestled anybody in nearly a decade who couldn't handle his pace and Schlatter was actually coming up to 145lbs,whereas Metcalf had been there a couple of years now and had always been the larger wrestler. I came away awe-stricken at this match. I then remember when Senior Nationals came along and they were both entered and the same sort of energy was in the air. Everyone knew it was going to happen again. Metcalf was still considered the underdog because many considered that Metcalf was gifted that first match. https://www.flowrestling.org/video/5155124-145lbs-brent-metcalf-vs-dustin-schlatter-05-sr-natls

Try "grimy gristled crusty cuntbucket twatwaffle tickled" next time. I bat 1000% when using that one.

Having witnessed family members go down this same path towards dimentia as well as having family members in this field tgat specialize in these things, I know that there are activities for people to do that are supposed to heighten the senses as well as negate the apparent deterioration of one's mental capacities and cognitive abilities. They aren't particularly intended for press conference type situations but for extending the life a person's mind before they are no longer themselves. I imagine Biden has the best doctors and people on this planet on the job for this, but alas they are not meant for this sort of extreme experiment. They are highlighted by repeating key names and points and having the subject also repeat them as well. If the mind becomes lost during a non-private outting they may suddenly recall parts of their drills and it may seem as if it is a sudden departure from the current subject with a fixation on a new one. I do believe that was how his rent control came about. They attempted to train him for a particular series of questions and his mind became lost and his recall kicked to a random spot.

Trying to flex on a 17 year old is a bitch move, gents. Be better.

Iowa board is public playground is it not? Shit, even I am allowed there.

I can confirm that I was asked twice. I respectfully declined. Has asked me if I could invent peanut butter again. It was an odd request.
