2008 Jake Deitchler 18-year-old from Ramsey, Minnesota, became the first high school wrestler to make the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team in 32 years

Greco is great, just not in the US. In several countries Greco is the favorable style. Look at the goons that wrestle Greco internationally. countries like Hungary, Russia, Turkey, Romania, South Korea, Japan, Finland, Bulgaria, and Sweden have dominated the sport. We have had 4 world medals in 10 years. 1 silver (Coon) and 3 Bronze 2 of which were won by Bizak and the other by Tracy Hancock. Not much emphasis is placed on Greco in the states because we don't have the experience that other countries do, Greco is an afterthought here. We have great upper body guys here that would do great in Greco. Dake immediately comes to mind, if he came from a Greco background he would be one of the best. The US needs to seek out the likes of Artur Aleksanian or some other studs and coaches to come to the US to show us how its done. We have several Internatalional Freestyle studs living in the US like Belagozov and other but not many Greco guys that I know of.

Blocking is easy. no reason to report.

Starocci said 60-40 he would stay meaning he will be back IMO

i might have booed him after the Mesenbrink match, he smacked the kid in the head. I'm talking about the Nolf match.

Edinboro had no choice, Big Bruce was Athletic Director and had to make tough decisions. The school is failing and there were even talks of shuttering the place without a substantial reorg. Buffalo on the other hand is one of the Flagships of SUNY and has great programs and a Medical College. They are here to stay.

Fair enough, didn't see his shirt, but that is the only thing I saw in the video that was nasty. I heard him getting some praise though and could hardly hear any booing.

There were very few booing him in the crowd, and if you watch the video of his walk out and slow it down like I did I heard several people yelling we love you Jordan, two guys a couple rows up said you are the GOAT, thanks for everything. . This booing bullshit is overblown. One man accosted him in the entrance to the tunnel, the man was an idiot, but who is to say he was even a PSU fan.

Yes, Snyder beat him pretty soundly.

yes reach out to Burroughs when you have Cael, Varner, DT, Dake, Snyder and Gilman in the room.

DERP

i disagree, the chances of making a Freestyle team in the US is one in 10,000. If some of our better athletes and top folk wrestlers focused on Greco we could compete. The exposure only helps. New and casual fans don't care about either too much.

Greco is huge internationally, it would help if we were better at it, when our guys regularly get beat and don't place at Pan AM's, it hurts, the exposure can only help. Watch Asian or Eastern Europe Greco, It's a different product. WFS is growing in the world and women are joining the ranks at a huge rate, In the US it's folk and Free. Womens wrestling may turn off some but it has helped grow mens wrestling in the US, with women involved, schools are deciding to add wrestling, both men and women. Exposure can only help.

FIFY

i rewatched the Burroughs/Nolf ending and Burroughs walk out. I slowed it down, There were some boo's but he wasn't getting booed at least by the folks on camera, You can hear, thank you Jordan and you are the GOAT Jordan until he walked in/near the tunnel and one fan accosted him and he responded. A couple bad apples doesn't make a bad fan base. You people make it sound like it was a Biden rally, That's booing.

He wasn't as jacked and he walked slowly to the Mat.

It keeps viewership up. Otherwise we would have had Freestyle last and had to wait for the greco/wfs. Greco and WFS are not as popular in the US, so It doesn't hurt that they were grouped together. and like Ionel said you could follow match order on Track Dashboard.

He dominated, there is no argument. The rest is noise.

He obviously has more class than you princess.

It hasn't been reviewed by SCOTUS for 30 years. With 87 percent of the public wanting term limits, it is ripe for review. The pros and cons from the Federalist Papers: The Federalist Papers also offered several pros and cons about term limits and tenure. Federalist No. 62 claimed that experience was essential to public service: “A good government implies two things; first, fidelity to the object of government, which is the happiness of the people; secondly, a knowledge of the means by which that object can be best attained.” Experience is essential?. not so much. These days it has turned into a winning lottery ticket with the lifetimers enriching themselves. I have more faith in many of the young reps than I do in McConnal, Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, Graham etc. who have served themselves for over 30 years. However, Federalist No. 53 warned that tenured representatives could thoroughly become the “masters of the public business, and perhaps not unwilling to avail themselves of those advantages.” But an inexperienced legislative body would be “more apt will they be to fall into the snares that may be laid for them.” (Note: The National Archives attributes authorship of Federalist Nos. 53 and 62 to James Madison.) That is obviously not the case anymore.

Bekzod Addurakmanov won Asians and qualified for the Olympics for UZB. Is he still training in State College?

Thats a bummer, didn't know he passed. The first American Yokozuna.

Hakuho the goat approves this message.

US greco has had 4 medals in 10 years. I think 125 is our best chance of a medal.

Flying squirrel gets it done.
