For fear of getting rickrolled... can you explain for me before I click?

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Sorry guys. Just curious how stuff has evolved. ***duck** ***duck**head ***duck**tar *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me* *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*head *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*starter Cunt Again, apologies - I blame @Window12. He said Virginia -ia Born and it corrected it to ***I have a limited vocabulary*** and it made me think.

***I have a limited vocabulary*** ***I have a limited vocabulary*** Virginia virginia

But I can't say ***I have a limited vocabulary***?

Virginia This is a test to see if I can state a US State outright.

Pyle mentioned something on FRL the other day basically saying what I just said - almost word for word.

You forgot to correct he 'Mrs. Bartlett' part of it, too, brosefino.

Who is now going his 'best weight' - as stated by the OSU staff - of 174lbs at OSU.

Zepeda at NC State has the potential to be one of our greatest rivalries ever - especially were Bo to go out the gate and not Redshirt. That said, I do think Zepeda is looking to slot in at 149lbs for NC State after a redshirt? I'm not sure what weight Bo is looking to go, but he has been wrestling up 1-3 weight classes for the team (and to just plain get better without worring about weight management) since he first went up to 138lbs two years ago.

It doesn't mean he did it... there are plenty of tweakers and creepers who find most of the information we post here - which then gets reposted. @headshuck is top notch.

Cool, we agree.

So everyone except Russia is mediocre at the middleweight, then?

No pony in that race, brosephino. I just don't think he is looking for clicks. Listen to his podcast(s). It's a great listen.

At the very least, mediocre middle weights isn't true, anymore - depending on your definition of a middle weight. They have beaten us at 74 KG, 86 KG, and 97 KG within the last two years.

I disagree. He isn't looking for clicks. He genuinely believes it because someone he trusts has told him this.

Also, Bartlett is(was) not a champ, so I don't think he should have been there anyways...?

Honestly, I don't know what's true anymore. Lovett was poking fun at stuff and had posted something with Starocci replaced with Johnny D. I don't know if that actually happened.

Starocci was replaced with Johnny D last I saw.

All fair points. Another one I put right there with him is ASU's Manville.

I would love to see Casey head to Central. I know Bennett is fresh, but if I am Bennett I welcome Casey coming in. Cael? Campbell. Do it.

Takahashi had a serious size advantage on Mesenbrink, it was puzzling to see as Mesenbrink had no answer to the strength disparity.

I don't think we have seen peak-form Shapiro yet. I don't typically side with tinfoil hat wearing softies, but I fully believe that concussions have given us a Shapiro that is considerably lower-peak than we have been able to witness in college (yet). Also, it was MFS and not folkstyle. That would make a huge difference in a Folkstyle match for these two.

Valencia’s freestyle résumé far outshines his folkstyle record. At 141 lbs, his folkstyle results aren’t exceptional: he dropped two razor-thin decisions to All-American–caliber opponents, and while he notched a 5-4 win over Rivera (Round of 16) and an 11-6 victory against Iowa’s JV Ryder Block, those wins alone don’t yet peg him as a title contender at that weight. He’s only stepped above 143.3 lbs once in recent years - an outing at 157 lbs against HEW Ed Scott that ended in a 13-3 major-decision defeat. Still, I believe he has a tremendous amount of upside beyond his current #26 ranking at 141 lbs on Wrestlestat, which would translate to roughly #22 at 149 lbs. Projecting to 149 lbs, I could see him matching up with the likes of Andrew Clark, Josh Edmond, and Jack Gioffre, which puts him in the Round-of-12/16 conversation. Back down at 141 lbs, similar R12/R16 matchups against Ryan Jack, Danny Pucino, and Julian Tagg seem realistic. Cracking the top 5–8 at 141 lbs feels slightly more attainable, especially since we haven’t yet seen how he adapts to 149 lbs. Stanich, Lemley, and Bailey seem more doable than McNeil, Stiles, and Williams. One more question: could Valencia wrestle EJ Parco for the starting spot? I’d favor Valencia in that matchup - but would the coaches put Parco out, who if I understand correctly the coaching staff loves? Hell, after last season, I would prefer a lineup bump from 141 - 174. That puts Monteiro out, but I don't think Monteiro is the answer for them at 184lbs (I did last year, but felt proven wrong). Ramblings of an old man... sorry.

I think Nagao (if healthy) and Davis on Redshirt is a good option for them, as well.
