  1. Sets up a potential first round match between two of the biggest "blow bags" in amateur wrestling.
  2. Multiple equipment failures. Both the stick and his helmet did not protect him as intended and the stick was wielded by a very large, very powerful man. Combine all that with freak bad luck.
  3. I saw a d3 bout where a guy dislocated his elbow and tried to lift his arm, but his forearm just dangled grotesquely as he stared at it quizzically. His opponent, the guy who initiated the action that let to the injury, ran to the nearest garbage barrel and vomited.
  4. Well, he whines to the ref almost as much as Dake, so I can see grounds for comparison.
  5. Yep, dad made the announcement. Where have I heard this one before?
  6. Dake disagrees, but this "tough crowd" (reality) seems to differ. Oh well.
  7. What are your thoughts on Burroughs?
  8. I think the problem was that he overly relied on one thing, and probably not the best thing.
  9. Also didn't mention fantasy match records.
  10. It is interesting to hear Tom Ryan say (for the millionth time) that Gable had no clue who he was when he went from Syracuse to Iowa. That was not my understanding. My high school teammate wrestled at Syracuse with Ryan and he called the transfer probably two years before it happened. At the time, I did not believe him... but it ended up being true.
  11. I enjoy Askren's impression, too. We were about to lose that when Ben leaves FRL in a week or two, but the announcement gives him an opportunity to do it. Otherwise, we may have never heard it again.
  12. Last Worlds, it looked like he thought the name of the sport was "chest-wrapping" and forgot about the whole "wrestling" thing.
  13. I, for one, will miss Coach Smith's interactions with the media. He wasn't one to pull punches!
  14. They must have thought he still represented Cuba.
  15. You know Palacio's whole thing with challenging people to wrestle? Pretending he's homeless etc., and then clowning them? I believe it was at a BTC conference, Askren challenged him to a match and Palacio refused. There may have been BTC on the line.
  16. Say what you want about Askren, but he made Palacio and his act look pretty bad recently.
  17. But, I will give him credit... it is interesting!
  18. What a weird, pretty unlikable persona he has created.
  19. Unfortunately, they are few and far between. Less even than usual in recent years.
  20. It is almost like if they (Hamas) agreed to peace, their funding might dry up... Can't have that happening! Too many huge bank accounts for their leaders living in places such as Qatar.
  21. Walked out of a athletes weight cutting session a day or two before Big 10 and did not return. Seems like it could have really let the team down, but they reacted by scoring a ton of points and they all seem to still have a pretty high opinion of Egeland. After "The Dual" was released this year, a lot of people started attacking Egeland online and Royce Alger really came to his defense.
