This is not the way to build wrestling. If he is healthy, he should wrestle. If he had another color singlet on, the PSU fans would be saying "duck." This is a fact. PSU wrestlers have been doing quite a bit of ducking this year tbh. Is Cael using 1980s training techniques that are resulting in injury to these guys, or are they afraid to risk a monumental upset? That is 100% what a duck is. Crazy stuff happens. I remember a U23 champ getting pinned by a backup in a match that a team didn't need him for. So basically: Brooks, RBY, Starocci, Dean so not need to wrestle the rest of the year because they have already proven themselves to be champs? Absurd. Put it on the line. If there is a match, wrestle it.

But seriously... Brooks is the starter. He needs to wrestle. That usually gets called a duck around here. That is generally the standard.

Ask the Ironman refs!

Brooks needs to toe the line

How can you honestly say that? I'm not sure if you knew this, but DT wrestles for the NLWC and wrestled for PSU in college. He can probably tech just about anyone, maybe even Ditka.

Interesting. I'm guessing that a 125 start was not Princeton's choice.

Which weight class was wrestled first in the Rutgers/Princeton dual?

At least you were talking about two guys that were both actually on the team and are actively wrestling freestyle, not some "what if?' make believe caused by an obsession with a town in central PA.

When was the last time Kerk wrestled freestyle? Why is every thread turned into PSU/NLWC?

But DT didn't want to wrestle. Nor did most of the NLWC. They chose not to represent the US. No sense in bringing them up/

Two for three ain't bad!

What's Beth up to tonight?

And don't forget: Glory only wanted to wrestle Lee. He didn't travel to Iowa to wrestle Ybarra. He's a "visionquest type." - The Wrestling Room. We've got the scoop!!!

Glory ducks the scales.

Me. Every year.

Some further Minnow thoughts/observations: 1. He recently claimed that he intentionally puts out fake news regarding Iowa in order to get a rise out of Hawks fans. Great journalist! 2. Believes that his report that Kemmerer was "done for the year" actually was what sparked Kem's return. Sorry, not that important. 3. Thinks Brands was referring to him as a "paid hater." Sorry, you run a facebook group. Not that important. For the record, I don't think Brands was that paranoid when referring to "paid haters." He was probably referring to someone like Basch. Basch has the occasional Hawkeye on, but would certainly fall into most definitions of "Iowa hater" and is admittedly paid by the NLWC and also does work for several NLWC coaches and athletes. I enjoy his show, but think he is a "paid hater.'

Does he have a binder?

Minnow is always right! He may make conflicting statements, but one of the statements has a chance of being correct.

Lewan scores exactly three points in about 60% of his matches. This leaves approximately 40% of matches where he would score more or less than three. I would argue that a .400 batting average is anything but poor!

It has been the case for decades.

The whole obvious manipulation of the certification system is awful. I am sure everyone does it, but it appears that some programs and individuals are more egregious offenders. Let us not forget WHY we put this system in place, and how much danger the sport was in as a result. (And this comes from the perspective of a major weight cutter)

Very tired when I posted.
