Interviewed_at_Weehawken

Rutherford is probably sitting at a desk somewhere, making sales with his head still taped from Berger's actions.

Wow. No NC State.

I'm sold on Duke, but hopefully someone reigns in his Tyler Berger/turdburger style extracurriculars when he hits the college scene.

They pretty much started those trends. Often forgotten.

There was a lot of speculation at the time that this was a "work" to get Rome publicity. I didn't know who Rome was before this, but I certainly did after. Were any charges pressed?

You don't have to be hydrated. Your urine has to have a specific gravity of 1.025 or less at the time of testing. All this actually tells them is that you were probably hydrated at some point, if it is indeed your urine.

Well, we were about 80 miles from Weehawken at the time. Wouldn't have been wise.

In the heydey of Blair (Mocco, Perry, Espo, Coop, etc), I was coaching at National Preps. There were a ton of big name coaches for the Prep tourney and PA District 11 was the same weekend down the road. One of my proudest moments was my heavyweight lifting another big guy in a double and none other John W. Smith stopping in his tracks to watch the action. My guy scored his 2 and probably a pin. John W. paused for a second, surveyed the situation, and then just kept walking. But still a proud moment for me...

I do agree with your basic premise.

And the brother!

I think we are talking about two different kids.

Yes. And the week before, he threw his semifinal opponent who was 2 feet out of bounds and 1+ seconds after the whistle. It would have been 5 in bounds and before the whistle, though. I get Duke's frustration in that bout, but the Russian coaches were less than pleased.

He's either mentally ill, or doing a great job portraying someone who is mentally ill.

JB was 100% in the right, and I enjoy watching MM work.

Somehow I doubt it. Instigators often take pride in their work. It even seems to be a job in the NHL.

He's long had this reputation and Askren has also talked about the kid being an instigator. And lets also keep an eye on his future teammate, PJ Duke. Duke is a stu and strong like bull, but I've seen at least a couple instances of wrestling/cheapshotting after whistles and out of bounds. Hopefully these are isolated instances. Kid is very very good.

Perhaps. Also, interpretations change.

Will he be able to vote in this election? He has to be 18 this calendar year, correct?

Beautiful! Forfeits at 133 and 184, but this team wins some duals.

What would the Iowa Oklahoma state combined all-transfer lineup look like? Anyone?

In most years. Not sure about this wekend.

Perhaps combine the rosters and have an all-transfer lineup.

I think Hidlay was 3rd on the ladder, though? (Brooks, DT, Hoagie) Does that count for more than head to head?

Yes. Something along the lines of "if physically able, I will compete at 92 kg Worlds, God willing.""
