I'm not so sure Gibson is in the plans to be anything more than a backup/depth guy.

When Starocci came out to the theme from Halloween I thought it was pretty b'dass.

Mineo is saying that the reason Amine didn't wrestle last night is that he was a couple minutes late for the skin check and Tom "They just broke a minor rule and the kids should be allowed to wrestle" Brands threw a hissy fit about it and got him DQd. Just when you think Iowa couldn't be any more soft this kind of stuff comes out...

We’ll find out this summer when Bassett and Jax commit.

The best part of people commenting on PSU is that everybody assumes they’re going to lose every even halfway close matchup. It’s been like that since Zain was going to lose to Sorenson.

That’s not what that is, maybe you ate some bad shrimp?

There is a chance PSU only loses two guys going into next year and will have SVN back, I hardly think that's cause for a punt season. The way they've stacked the recruits on top of each other I'd say there isn't a chance for a punt for at least 5-6 years.

I'm hoping PSU weighs in Bearclaw and Starocci at 174 and then Carter bumps up to take out Arnold.

There isn't another Olympics until 2028 so there's no need to not come back because of that and a first-year MMA fighter would make less than the NIL deal he could get to stay and be the one and only 5-timer.

Just for the record Kerkvleit never actually wrestled for OSU, he flipped his commitment but didn't transfer.

If MM runs the table he pretty much has to be seeded #2 and if Carr knocks off KOT either time they face each other he'd have to be #1. Just look at the resume if he comes out of Big Tens he'll have bonused Olguin, Amine and Fish (so far) and have wins against Caliendo and Hamiti (likely in the finals). If KOT, Carr, Ramirez and Olejnik all have losses you can't deny him.

I'm not sure Jax winning that is an upset.

Or not.

I feel like KOT comes out on fire here, I'm predicting 12-5, just misses the major.

Kasak and Evans are both registered at the Mat Town College Open so instead of wrestling Miller they'll pad their stats against a bunch of backups because number of matches is more important than quality of matches.

Who's going at 174 for Iowa?

Anybody ducking in this one?

I get waiting to escape but it was ridiculous to let it go that far, all KOT needed was a scramble and he could put it away since he didn't have a stall warning.

KOT with the lucky win

But who cares? Would wrestling a bunch of unranked guys even matter when you're one of the best in the world? It's like going to a HS dual and watching Bo Bassett wrestle some kid who is 2-14 and just started wrestling four months ago.

I'm not saying that somebody who thinks Cael Sanderson is lacking as a coach is stupid but...

He also beat Taylor 2x who is ranked ahead of Ghadiali. Ghadiali also lost handily to the guy from American.

Kerk teched Hendrickson inside of two periods at the All-Star meet. You can say it doesn't count but you'd be saying something completely different if it had gone the other way.

Victor Wembanyama gets drafted by the Spurs (along with his brother). He rapes a girl in San Antonio, posts a picture of his butthole on SM, totals a car and almost kills a teammate while driving like an asshole, his brother shoots up the house and car of another teammate for dating his sister. Spurs release him. Then he gets overtures from another team (say the Lakers), he goes to LA, signs a two-day contract to play in an intrasquad game and plays poorly but scores the winning basket at which point he takes a swing at Lebron then flips him off and all of the Lakers fans in attendance. After that he gives an interview in which he says that he's a good guy and a "christian", starts selling magic rocks and SM and is now saying the NBA is for pussies and he's going to do something tough like going to play in Turkey.
