I think I now see why I’m struggling to see the outrage. I don’t view someone doing something else with their life, regardless of how good they are at what they’re currently doing, as demeaning it. Sometimes people just want to do something else especially at 22 years old. I think it’s perfectly rational to not like Gable because of his personality, his off the mat behavior, his choice of school, whatever. I can see and understand those reasons, I don’t think I even like him very much personally. But hating him for taking two seasons off to explore other avenues is odd to me.

If he was still similar age to the competition and still had eligibility, of course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why is it different if they’re not as good? Why is it different if it’s college vs senior level? Genuinely don’t understand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m confused by this line of thinking. So if tomorrow Bo Nickal decided he actually wanted to make a run at the world team next cycle, should we all root against him? Mitch McKee went MMA after college. If he wanted to wrestle at the US Open next year, is he instantly a villain? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I never said they shouldn’t. I also don’t fault anyone who has the capacity to chase what they’ve always wanted to do for actually chasing it. He had wanted WWE since he was a kid and said that for years. It didn’t work out, so be it. I hope he sticks with wrestling after this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What did he do this year that was so bad? The last video I saw of him last night was him cheering on Hendrickson and patting him on the back at the podium. Seemed like a good display of sportsmanship actually. To me it seemed lies like gable was a villain last night and more so people were excited for the underdog. Which happens often. I doubt he will be forgotten and hope he wrestles for team USA again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Ryder is a better 184 than Mirasola is a 197. I think Barr stays up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right, but him wrestling at all is a draw. For a lot of people he’s one of the few wrestlers they even know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly the two biggest draws of this finals round are probably Starocci and Gable, so keeping viewership high from beginning to end could be the reasoning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gable and Max are pretty close. There’s no ill will there. Stop trying to make something from nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m picking Askey over Blaze before that match even happens Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When he talked about his final decision in where he was transferring to, it was down to Iowa, PSU, and a return to MN. Just the fact that we were still in consideration hints to me that it was good terms? But that’s just me reading into things. Wells will never see 133 again after this weekend, so gophers will be looking for a 133 regardless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would love nothing more than to welcome Nagao back to Minnesota. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn’t start watching college wrestling closely until 2017, because I was too focused on my own high school career until then. Some of y’all are geezer lol And I know that makes the Dylan Ness profile picture make no sense, deal with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You and I were destined to be enemies Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gopher fan but went to NDSU (because U of M is outrageously expensive) so NDSU definitely my #2 team. Love Obe Blanc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Elevator, if you think nobody wants to watch Vombaur then you’ve only seen him wrestle a small handful of times. The guy is electric. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As long as Vombaur doesn’t get Hardy in the quarters I will be happy [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It will probably be one of the most boring matches of the weekend. Just fast forward through it to see the Starocci 2-0 win imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tyler Wells, 133. Was in the blood round last year but has not had a good January/February. Will be seeded low, but is capable of beating almost anyone in the field imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Barr should be a title favorite the next three years (and could conceivably win it this year) at 197. I don’t see him dropping back down at all. I expect Ryder there. Ferrari, McEnelly, Ryder, Welsh, Sinclair is insanity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

McEnelly does not cut hard to make 184. Walks around about 190. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does nhs stand for National Honor Society? Because *nerd* Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not saying I disagree, but I am curious what Ferrari has done in a lot of people’s eyes to have him capable of beating Plott. In his match against Starocci I saw a lot of sitting on one knee and fighting out of takedowns from the splits. Plott is approaching severely underrated territory imo.
