He’s actually 40

Demand better to BTN+ rather than to a forum? Might be something to try

Cael wants as little competition until NCAAs. This is nothing new lol

Rides? lol

That’s part of what’s weird. Bailed on OSU bc Coleman didn’t get the job yet followed Perry to ISU Lost one match at ISU and decided not to wrestle or travel with the team for 3+ weeks Radio silence from ISU staff Just weird. Yeah maybe he’s had enough of ISU.

He’s said it in several post match interviews. You could probably search Flo

Nailed it. Like a good hammer does! Hasn't wrestled since April 2021. Has only fought 7 times in MMA since then. He's probably bored out of his mind.

Right? Can't rely on counter offense too much

Curious to see if anyone has insight on Christian Carroll. Seems like he isn’t hurt, but he has missed/skipped ISU’s last couple outings including the dual last night. Iowa State’s board doesn’t seem to know either, just hopeful he comes back. Been watching this kid for a couple years now, kind of a head scratcher to see him disappear once he finally cracked a D1 lineup.

Sometimes you have to shake things up you know? Wardrobe, haircut, coaching change, maybe take an adult ed class after work…

118 was crazy small for adult men. 125 is too. Not many adult men walk around at 150 and below regardless of fitness and athleticism.

Dig this Reminds me of my Dad telling the story of one of his college science classes. Positive points for answers right, negative points for answers wrong. Most of the class ended up with a score below zero. It does seem a little silly and has clearly led to gaming the system for favorable seeds. "I did good last year, so this year I'll do as little as possible for a better chance at the next NCAAs" is pretty lame.

Not to argue for argument's sake but Colorado is not a left wing state. I've lived here for most of my adult life and sure some things lean left but plenty, plenty of things lean right. Anyways no need for a monologue, just surprised anyone would consider Colorado a left wing state unless "presidential voting from the last couple of elections" is literally your only metric, and even that metric isn't an overwhelming majority. But yeah OP your data has already been sold thousands of times. Literally every website you visit collects and sells your data, some places just tell you that they're doing it.

Where have I read that phrase before... hmmm haha

I put the OP in Word just to check out the word count. 1,485 words! Pretty impressive. I can't really tell what OP is mad about, or what the quoted person is mad about, but another weight or two in the 90 lb space between 197 and 285 sure makes sense to me!

OP in 2023: "John Smith allows too much alcohol on his team." OP in 2024: "David Taylor doesn't allow enough alcohol on his team." lol

If you don’t drink at all, there’s no “should I?” moments. Fewer decisions, better sleep, fewer recovery days, more mental energy for other things. That’s a pretty clear advantage for anyone trying to outperform their peers at a high level whether it’s athletics or at your job or whatever.

They don’t know. The Brands have a contract through like 2029 right? OSU was going to hire from within but boosters stepped in and influenced the deal. Plus the timing of WTT. Iowa will want someone worthy of a dynasty, from within or without.

Wishing someone would be outraged so you can be outraged at their outrage has to be the most internet thing ever

Jordan Williams didn't want to lift weights or cut weight... in high school and at OSU. Had trouble with OSU classes and with getting belligerently drunk. When things went his way on the mat he was great, when things didn't go his way you could see him give up out there. Tons of talent but there are some hurdles to his success and consistency has yet to be his thing. Sure he could outscore Carter Young at Nationals, but he could also go 0-2 or not even make weight for it.

Wrestling has come a long ways in broadcasting and watchability. But, still has a long ways to go before it's slick and seamless. Keep sharing suggestions with event producers and eventually you hope that they will listen and improve.

I can tell a difference. Guys are out there trying to win every exchange whether its a TD or a handfight or whatever. We lost that fire for a while but I'm glad to see it back again. Lots of different techniques going on too, this year so far everybody in the lineup has surprised me at some point. It's definitely been fun to tune in.

You probably wear wrestling shoes with your ankle socks. How about that

OSU homer but I've gotta go with Iowa. Iowa is going to show up fired up and mad. It'll be a clash for sure. I wonder if we'll see DT raise his voice; if not, maybe Gilman will. lol
