  1. What is your terminology for what they call the "Blair ride?" I think NFHS materials also call it that.
  2. "Where's Dave?" "He had to drive Kurt Vonnegut home."
  3. According to another thread, every match these gents miss counts as a loss by pin against them.
  4. Also Dean's dreaded "reverse cutback." Some are calling him 'dirty' for his 'attempt to injure Amos' knee' In regular speed, it looked like a mistake and a coincidence. Does not look great in slow motion!
  5. Brooks got pinned? Yianni pinned multiple times. Crazy year!
  6. Phelps swam a lot. A real lot. But spending large amounts of time in the water also has thermogenic effects that go beyond just the (considerable) exercise of elite swimmers. I heard a study quoted on a podcast. It was either Attia or Huberman. Can't remember.
  7. Not as bad as what Brands did to Jeff Prescott!
  8. I believe that Dake has said that someone in media proposed that he should go up another weight and try to take out Taylor, and that is what solidified his choice to move up. Supposedly it was specifically for that reason.
  9. That is not the Zain plan. Next!
  10. It is the 1960s training techniques
  11. That is a pleasant thought. Lovely.
  12. Exactly. The Anthony Cassar plan!
  13. Apparently he can't make 125 safely/effectively on a regular basis, so they are limiting his weigh-ins. If he has been having documented troubles making the weight for years, how is he still able to get certified there? It seems as if he is actually a 133.
  14. People are forgetting how close we were to losing the sport, and the adults (who should be smarter) seem to be blinded by their own ambition.
  15. Not necessarily accurate. The committee has already shown a bias toward Lee in 2021. Plus he has 100% bonus and just absolutely demolished a guy who would be ranked top 10 at the moment.
  16. Askren v. Kish If you want to take it out of dual meets: Schultz v. Banach; Dake vs. Taylor.
  17. Also, the best way to protect his safety is for him to go 133. That is the purpose of the rules. If 125 isn't safe to make all of the time, it is not the weight class for young Patrick. This is where the adults need to step in and do the right thing.
  18. If safety is an issue, he shouldn't be going down to 125. At all. That is the point of the rules. He should be 133. You bare either a 125, or you are not. There are ways to manipulate certification that are not "breaking rules' but do enable guys to certify at lower weights than they should. Every program does it, but it seems to be happening with some more than others, or to a greater degree. It is not 1997 anymore.
  19. Yep. Some many grey areas. I know some states require you to take the mat for the weigh-in to count at the high school level. Wrestlers are very good at finding ways around rules!
  20. ... and isn't this the guy who flew out to Iowa when he knew Lee was not wrestling, missed weight, and then claimed Spencer was ducking him and he had no interest in wrestling a backup?
