But it's really not, they'll send them to an open where they can rack up a bunch of easy wins. Look at what Hendrickson did at the David Lehman open at F&M, he won six matches, got five pins and the highest ranked guy he saw was Ghadiala.

So the coaches rankings come out and consensus number one guys aren't even ranked because of lack of matches? Brooks, Starocci and Kerkvleit all wrestled in the All-Star (and won) classic instead of the Black Knight Invite. Because of this they're all being penalized. In what world does getting three or four wins against backups or extremely low ranked wrestlers prove more than beating guys like Sloan, Lewis and Hendrickson? You could also say the same for Haines because he was slated to wrestle in the All-Star meet but his opponent was injured. By their logic if Crookham was 7-0 and had wins against Fix, Nagao, Arujao (2x), Ragusin and Bouzakis he'd be unranked. But somebody who is 14-0 but only wrestled guys from Sacred Heart, F&M, LIU and so on would get a ranking? Unless I'm wrong the only #1 current #1 guys in Flo's rankings to beat the #2 guys are Starocci and Kerk and neither are ranked.

This is a great one. It was produced by the company Adam Yauch (Beastie Boys) started.

I totally agree. It's even funnier when you look at the interview Amine gave to Flo before the dual, he went on and on about how he was done being the conservative guy who always got hit for stalling. He said from now on he was going to open up his offense. Apparently his offense consists of biting people.

The only thing more stupid than starting this thread is agreeing with it.

At best he's a neutral-colored horse. KOT has beaten Amine 5-3 and 6-0 which up until last night was as much as anybody could do against him. What MM did to him showed that he's on another level. It's even crazier when you consider that it wasn't really as close as the 12-1 scoreline made it out to be, if Rivera called it correctly MM would have stalled him out.

He's got that "I don't care if I get taken down because I'll keep coming and still beat you" attitude.

Is Mesenbrink Nolf 2.0?

How can you pick Griffith over Starocci? I mean, if you're going to just make stupid picks you might as well give Michigan the shutout.

I wonder about coaching when guys wait until there are less than 30 seconds left before attacking. You know guys are going to stall and if you wait that long you let them get away with it.

If he takes over it will kill the sport. Every opponent of an Iowa wrestler will be expected to forfeit out of respect to his greatness.

If AJ is upset about anything it would be that somebody thinks he's hispanic. I'm sure he hates Latinos as much as the Iowa fans.

What is it about him that makes you think somebody should give him weapons and training on how to kill? He needs to be shipped to a Buddhist temple and left there.

Teams should give the fans a heads up when they're going to do this.

I don't get the correlation between not drinking at all and being successful. RBY did an interview where he talked about being in the bars and he had plenty of success. As long as you don't overdo it and pick your spots it shouldn't be a problem. A few beers over Thanksgiving or Christmas break or even between the conference tournament and nationals to unwind isn't going to hurt anybody.

They might actually have a worse chance with the Ferraris. I feel like Glazier could avoid being pinned by Brooks but there's about a 95% chance AJ gets DQd and Anthony ain't beating Kasak either way.

Pro tip: When recruiting athletes for your program avoid the ones who say their role model is "The Situation"

I don't think there's another program in the country that would put up with that kind of garbage. But when your coach is out there calling another coach a "puss" you're gonna have guys like that on the team.

It's hard to believe that Iowa could put together a tournament and not have it turn into a clown show. Last year you had Spencer crying about not getting a forfeit and this year it's a couple crybaby carpetbaggers.

I said "christians" w/ a small "c". I consider myself a Christian and believe in Christian ideals, we have another group in America that uses the term "christian" but has very little to do with what the Bible teaches. They don't "love thy neighbor", they want to see people of color suffer. So yes, small "c" christians tend to be racist.

You're always going to get this when you have a sport where most of its fans call themselves "christians"

Looks like Stanford v Va Tech is the big matchup unless I'm missing something. Sloan v Allred should be good too (assuming it's not duck season)
