  1. Dude is so unprofessional.
  2. Would be cool if they kept takedown attempted counts like they do riding time. Guy with more shots gets one point. Would need concrete criteria. The knee would need to def hit the mat.
  3. Losing Trevor Anderson also hurt; he was R12 last year. He almost All American’d despite being almost .500 for his career.
  4. Him putting his son on multiple videos in a row is enough to make me not click on a Flo YouTube video for the next 12 months
  5. It’s an interesting math problem. The future value of $100k at 9.5% for 40 years is $3.75M. That works out to needing an extra $94,000 per year in income or excess investment income growth to break even. My Northwestern degree isn’t worth what it cost me. I should have accepted all the full rides I received instead.
  6. Did he level up or was he just healthier this season ?
  7. Interesting question...for me you get a LOT for your time and money with NCAAs and B1G tourney- you know what you're getting. When you want to launch some niche sporting card event, it's helpful to centralize it some place where people can reliably access it. For boxing it was HBO and Showtime doing a good job reliably producing events for a long time. UFC did a pretty good job of this also. I'm not as much of a UFC fan as I was boxing so can't completely speak to this. I think wrestling will struggle with not offering this on Netflix. That's like the modern day HBO- a streaming site nearly everyone has. I stopped being a boxing fan because these 1 time events were either mis-judged, a guy fought injured or didn't train for it, and the Arum De La Hoya feud ruined boxing exhausting my favorite fighters' careers and we never got a Manny-Mayweather prime fight leaving me feeling cheated. They're unreliable events. I would watch RAF but I don't even know how currently. I'm not just going to sign up for some strange service I am not familiar with which is how it feels to me now. There is no reason some of these guys are battling each other. I would consider it but it would be easier if it was an add on to a currently popular streaming service. I think gaining subscribers in some ways is more difficult than ever. At least for me as a value seeker...
  8. Their number of guys finishing in the top 4 is trending down big time
  9. Their 4th best wrestler went from placing 3.9th position to 5.3rd, neatly 1 and a half worse spots
  10. all I do is tutor students in math-science, and my style has been much less popular the past few years than it was fifteen years ago; if this offends anyone -sorry- kids are soft and can't take my demands or critiques as well- and this is doing math ! I have to lower expectations nowadays. If a kid is really not trying and I don't want to keep banging my head against a wall my go to line to light a fire under their seat is "maybe this problem is simply above you skill-set and we should move on." This generation hates to think something is outside their ability level. I can normally get more from them with this style of critique than asking them to pay attention to what they just missed 3-4 times over a week. These kids hate hearing me tell their parents they're not listening and their parents are more likely to fire me nowadays for questioning their children's behavior-inattention than respond to the feedback with actual discipline. I find myself smiling and pretending everything is perfect behind the desk more than ever.
  11. powers are powerful, the title of my favorite middle school math lessons
  12. Yonger should sue this guy while he has any money left. Meanwhile AJ should turn WWE heel as fast as possible I think there’s a market for him to live in the cellar I don’t think coming out of the darkness is a style he’s going to do very well at.
  13. I'm admittedly not knowledgeable on pedigrees and recruiting. Im basing my comments on some of the results I've witnessed or seen data for Shawver has had wins over Mckee and Moran (2021), Caleb Smith and Terukina (2022), Romney Fugitt Nagao (2024), close losses to Hildebrandt, champ Glory (2023). His ceiling seemed higher. Olivieri maybe I'm remembering incorrectly- just know he was wrestling tight matches with RBY-Cannon-Ramos-Phillippi start of his career- all losses though. Alvarez is another one that was disappointing. Evidently you say it was weight stuff so not on coach though.
  14. One really stubborn wrestler on our team he used to not make weight very well. He also was obsessed with exerting his will on an opponent. He tied up with this guy face to face around middle of first period and the tie up didn't stop until the end. If I recall with around 35 seconds left his 4-1 lead had slipped to 4-4 with stalling and either he got stalled out or the coach came on the mat and told the ref he was forfeiting the match. The kid would not wrestle or listen!
  15. But had you seen the original- it's like the best appetizer
  16. Shawver and Olivieri seemed to underperform their abilities some in their careers.
  17. people were saying this
  18. I watched him nearly rupture discs in his back and tear a hammy deadlifting 650 with the ugliest form imaginable; this guy is Jersey Shore of wrestling
  19. He’s cut he’s cut the Russians cut
  20. I’d be shocked if he ever wrestles for 1st or 3rd again. 125 is a strange weight and feels like this year was extra upset city.
  21. I’ve loved your Cornhuskers the last five years but Minto isn’t one of them I fast forwarded until 1 min left. When Minto still wasn’t doing anything I fast forwarded to 25 seconds and Minto tried to score.
