Yeah and I don’t think anything I posted was critical. Just observing as you are here. I’m glad Dee has people to stick up for him though. Internet folks can be brutal.

People do say nasty stuff people about Dee. I thought mine was pretty neutral. I guess I could have said "limited offense" instead of "no offense" but that's pretty hair-splitty

Good tests for a lot of guys. 157 will be spicy... Antrell can be a punk sometimes lol, throwing punches and whatnot

My point is that Dee reverted to a limited offense after blowing out his previous opponents. The coaching staff have been on him about wrestling too conservatively. If he puts the pressure on then maybe he gets the TD or garners a stall point and it doesn't go to overtime. It's hard to call a guy for stalling when neither are doing much. Or like you said maybe he gets caught in the first period but I doubt it.

Welp. Old Dee returned. No offense, last minute attempt, gets caught. He’s a mystery.

Right? That’s what we want to see

Yep replay is a beautiful thing esp with tourneys. Gotta fit these matches in between alllllllll the responsibilities lol

Hats off to Spencer. Dude is a warrior. Gotta admire his dedication. I watched his matches and man, he's inspiring.

The season has finally begun

It wasn’t offered. Neither was freestyle for that matter. Our coach AA’ed at Iowa State and I suppose taught us what he knew. We did learn a few throws.

I'm sure he's been coached on how to headbutt strategically. So the headgear he wears is legal in freestyle? Is it legal in D1 folkstyle?

I don't completely understand the situation but it reads like either an administrative blunder or a flex to try and rig the competition. The context of competing in an international tournament plus requiring documentation of their re-entry to India should have nullified any concerns of overstay. The video cites an automated risk profile, so maybe AI derailed the thing and no human was willing to exercise their contextual knowledge to override a glorified computer program. The same thing could easily happen with American wrestlers heading overseas.

Chris Perry, ha

There’s a movement in wrestling as PSU grads leave the nest and start coaching… this is the best inside look at that movement whether or not you’re an OSU fan.

It sucks that we can’t chat Greco without a couple edgy dudes having a pissing match every single time. You know who you are Just message each other your insults and chat wrestling here it’s not that hard. Nobody wants to see this I’m legit interested in discussing and watching and learning more about the sport since last Olympics and this tourney but you guys are insufferable

Also of the 5 citations his ChatGPT gave, 2 link to social media and 1 links to a forum. Quite reputable. People are never going to learn that these LLMs (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Grok etc) are not some all knowing deity. They're just predictive models not unlike weather forecasting. Me see data point, me predict next data point.

The Brands are 100% a kick the can down the road situation. Their contract expires in a couple years, Iowa will probably move on then.

Also agreed. Dee may not have it naturally, but we'll see if he can learn it.

Agreed on all fronts. I'm hoping to see a relentless Lockett. He has all the tools, just needs to fire off 10 shots a period every period. DT says over and over that he values how you wrestle more than how you potentially wrestle. It'll be on Dee to wrestle David's style or get benched.

It’s my fault. We won a lot when I was watching. Then I had to stop avoiding my work and turned off the stream.

Poor guy had three season-ending injuries.

No comment on your back and forth with Cav other than "who cares" but I'll say that given all the accusations around his off mat behavior, Starocci could definitely be the worst person who was also a great wrestler lol. This is just me having fun with wordplay though while I watch Greco, the world's best and finest sport

Altomer robbed of a pin there! Dang
