  1. The rules may seem stupid, but administrative rules like these are generally well thought out and exist for a reason. Yes, they may seem trivial, but they are not put in place for light and transient reasons.
  2. The underwear rule is a) to keep an even playing field ;and b) because pervs had cameras hidden in gym bags to film wrestlers weighing in at Midlands (and I assume other events) for sale online.
  3. Are we talking Troy Bouzakis from Pine Bush, NY?
  4. From hearing GSP and others speak, I think a lot of GSP wrestling came from the threat of the strike. He has said as much himself. I am not sure he beats a Koshchek in a pure wrestling match with no cage. He was just so good at making his Karate blitz style a threat that he could get to guys legs. As far as defense, that is easier to learn, especially with takedown distance being different in MMA.
  5. Cruz just gets overpowered in some of those positions where he might have been able to scramble out of or maybe even score. This is months before his late season "level up" too, but I don't think that would have mattered much.
  6. Yes. But it wasn't about wrestling; it was about the football and baseball revenue but was applied to all sports.How much revenue did the NCAA lose by not having March Madness in 2020? They were going to do their best to avoid the same loss in 2021.
  7. Especially since he started overly taping his hand again.
  8. Pretty cool. Imagine if I didn't say Eierman won Pan Am and had better international accolades than Nick Lee!!!!
  9. That's pretty good. I think it was Teague Moore who said that while he was coaching at Harvard, Granit Taropin (Soviet coach who trained Belaglazovs) was also there. Taropin couldn't believe how often Americans left Big Bruce off the GOAT lists.
  10. Beautiful song. I don't hate Chris Cornell's cover either.
  11. Fantastic stuff. Please don't do my last 100 posts. I had a bad day with alternative wrestling facts on Wednesday. Give it a few weeks! (Although I did use "pilloried" the other day as well)
  12. National titles from previous years and All-Star matches technically do not count, but where do we think coaches get the starting points for their rankings at the beginning of the season?
  13. Supposedly a retired coach got involved and threw his weight (all 136.5 lbs of it) around?
  14. Sickos were filming weigh-ins and posting online
  15. I think the NCAA looks at all conference champs as being equal in their formula. Any difference in difficulty should be factored into quality wins.
  16. OK. What do YOU think happened?
  17. They had more time to cut weight, because they were not in the correct are on time. Do we agree? Their opponents were not given the extra time to cut weight, hence they likely did not need as much recovery time. What other rules do you suppose we decide to ignore? These were rules that came into being due to three deaths. Shouldn't they be the most important?
  18. Bikes are so comfortable to sit on!
  19. They weren't in the correct location when they were supposed to be. They know the routine. They were on exercise bikes instead of the appropriate room. Extra time. Then they got extra time to recover before their matches. Why weren't they with their team and coaches? Extra time.
