This is about as spot-on as any other wrestling GOAT claim I've seen. My brain says "yes"

Looks like my Google search failed me. Here's what NCAA.com says from a 2022 article. 2014-2015 Tom Brands 17-1 T-1st 2nd 2015-2016 Tom Brands 16-1 2nd 5th 2016-2017 Tom Brands 13-2 3rd 4th 2017-2018 Tom Brands 12-3 4th 3rd 2018-2019 Tom Brands 14-1 3rd 4th 2019-2020 Tom Brands 13-0 1st N/A 2020-2021 Tom Brands 5-0 1st 1st I'm still skeptical of the claim that Lee turned the program around.

His questions consistently have an English Class Homework vibe to me. “Now that you have watched Les Miserable, discuss what impacts may be found in related circumstances in pre-unification Hawkeye country. Draw upon your prior knowledge to find parallels between Spencer Lee and Penn State” etc etc lol. I always wonder why he’s asking the question and what he does with the answers. Writing a book? Falling asleep? Who knows.

Spencer joined Iowa in 2018. Here’s how Iowa placed the last 10 years. Did he turn around the Iowa program, or did he just add to an already successful team? Team standings: 2014: 4th place 2015: 2nd place 2016: 3rd place 2017: 5th place 2018: 6th place 2019: 9th place 2021: 1st place (national champions) 2022: 3rd place 2023: 9th place

I installed Brave browser on my phone just to cruise this site. No ads. Been about a week. This is a great site but in this day you can’t subject regular users to so many invasive ads and expect them to not find a workaround. For me the ad count ranged from 30-60 ads *that made the site hard to use* for a 10 minute browse. Anyways I hope they’re getting the revenue they need without driving off new users.

Love the geometry pun. Much nicer way of stating the obvious than what I have in mind lol

Agreed 100%. It's not just a lack of a go to leg attack, its a lack of comfort with leg attacks in general. His throw by and trip are elite, he either needs to figure out new ways to set those up or put them away and get going with single/double/ankle. Also needs to up his misdirection and level changes, he's always been a straight ahead guy. Also needs to take some of those 50/50 shots and trust himself to work through scrambles. Easy peasy

Maybe "freestyle" actually refers to the refs - they get to freestyle and interact with the match however they want lol

As an OSU fan I'm perpetually bummed out by Fix's "almost there" results. He needs to stop being so scared of taking a risky shot in a close match because its been proven that for him its riskier to NOT take a risky shot. However if every "almost there" athlete quit there would be no room guys, no JV or B team, no fill-ins, and no Cinderella stories so I see no sense in actually encouraging somebody to hang it up. Fix has expressed that he wants to coach, but he's a pretty quiet guy so he'll either need to get some hardware or come out of his shell interpersonally if he wants to embrace that kind of role. Really don't see him going the MMA route.

JB was right to call it out and he earned the right. And he did it in a post-victory interview, not in a whiny social media ragebait post when he was sitting alone on the toilet. That alone gets my respect. Plus his Starocci comment was so benign, it was one thing he said in a whole sea of thoughtful commentary. From everything I can tell JB is a class act.

Let the refs award points however they see fit. Exposure, control, favorite haircut, maybe dole some points before the match starts.

Well now he’s known to the entire campus staff as a mouthy punk. Surely that won’t work against him. What a saga lol

Easiest it’s ever been to watch Olympics in the history of the Olympics. Interface was great, replays were dead simple, mobile and web were both seamless. I’m not surprised it was viewed so much!

his boss seems to approve: ”I think it’s a great thing any time that we can put the brand of the program out in the wrestling world,” OSU athletic director Chad Weiberg said in a statement. “For our team here to see him competing and doing the things to get ready to compete, it only makes what’s happening in our room better.”

FWIW I’m more annoyed by people complaining about Bassett than I am by Bassett himself. The only time I ever see Bassett stuff is on this forum.

Yeah man. Right now I have two video pop ups stacked, a banner ad at the bottom, and the border of my phone screen is breathing in and out with not an ad but just a teal color. This is peak “you’ve been hacked in 2002” internet experience right here.

You all are saying some weird stuff. If I say Buchanan got 50 million dollars to transfer, it’s not on you to prove that I’m wrong. It’s on me to cite my source for my claim so others can vet the info.

I like this. It should be transparent especially for state institutions where salaries and scholarships are public knowledge so NIL payments should be too. NIL should also require some kind of name and likeness work be done. Also one for time for the people in the back, 500k isn't confirmed so that postulation ain't worth jack, and there's a big difference between a cash payment and a combination of tuition/board/books/incentives/post-grad opportunities. Again this is where the details of NIL should be public knowledge or it needs to be reformed to be more equitable like having one NIL fund per roster that gets distributed equally among that roster.

Grandstanding is fun.

Thanks

I looked and these seem to be articles not forums. Am I missing something?

Ahahahahaha I thought it was a great read.

This is one of the more thoughtful things I’ve read on here. Thanks! What a mess lol. Or not… time will tell

Maybe they changed something because on the phone this morning I have two pop ups going simultaneously on every page instead of one! That’s progress right? If I leave those open and scroll a bit I can get a third ad too for ads on 60% of my screen.

I’m just glad to see that AJ will continue to get daily attention here. He needs it or his deadlift numbers may to deflate.
