ELIMINATE the Technical Fall. If you can't pin the opponent you wrestle the full match - even if it ends up 72-3. Every wrestler knows they are in for a full match unless they get put on their back. Might help some of the "Lungers" to get in better shape for a full match. Sure would be nice if they also brought back the Three Minute periods for a full nine minute match.

The days of desperation are fully upon Team Brands.

Gable took over for Gary Kurdelmeier who had Iowa heading in the right direction. Never before had Iowa won an NCAA Title. Gary recruited Dan Gable and after four years and two NCAA tltles he turned the program over to him. https://hawkfanatic.com/2020/07/13/gary-kurdelmeiers-vision-and-unselfishness-helped-build-the-iowa-wrestling-dynasty/ Gable retired from Coaching and has said many times the reason was he could no longer roll on the mat with his wrestlers. Hip & knees - not being able to keep wrestling with his athletes was why he left. Cael is every bit as good as a coach but a very different personality. Might be a good clue as to whether he will keep on for another decade or more.

If he goes to Mexico we have Vito to thank. RBY isn't doing anything until he knows what weight Vito is entering so he can choose a different one.

John Smith was excellence on the mat. Training focus was every bit as intense as Dan Gable. Did Smith ever go with Gable in the room? Like Gable did with so many of his Iowa wrestlers of varying weights?

General studies major? Every body knows it is 90% mental, half physical and half coaching..., with success 100% guaranteed if you wear the right brand of shoes.

Watching older matches in Greco I saw years of Karelin lifting guys off the mat and throwing them over for back points. Why isn't anyone in freestyle able to do this? Was Karelin that much stronger than everyone else? Some freak of technique only he could do? Leg lace & gut wrenches are fine but a showy throw like Karelin did would put fear into many opponents mind with a wrestler who could nail them this way.

No More TechFalls. You wrestle to pin no matter how long it takes. So you win 82-0, unless you pin you keep wrestling the whole time. Bring back 9 minute matches.

Penn State does not get any points for takedowns until after the first three?

If he doesn' like the rules, lobby to change them. Quit the "holier than thou" act.

Next Cinnablow will ask if All Utah wrestlers are descendants of Polygamous families.

Lee over Yianni. Burroughs is getting OLD - though still able to beat most at his weight no matter the age.

Watching a number of matches where the 30 second passivity point is awarded. Then see a few where the wrestler on the clock scores - but they only get the points for their scoring move. Why don't they get ONE extra point for scoring during passivity penalty time? Seems only fair since if they are blocked out from scoring and the opponent gets one point that they should get that one added on to anything they score while on the clock.

Capitalization is important in writing. It is the difference in helping your Uncle Jack off a horse..., or Helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Cornell Recruiting Slogan: Home of the 4 timers! No other school has two 4x NCAA champions.

Any weight where he doesn't have to face Vito, his Nightmare.

Big question is WHY isn't Stanford wrestling on this level?

Why would he want to be like Spencer Lee?

Because it is un-natural and dumber than Chia Pets. Nothing below the waist? Almost as stupid as Soccer - where they don't use hands. Both are un-American..., the term taking in the entirety of Both Hemispheres! We have hands and feet so should be able to use them.

We need video and your great & insightful analysis of the throw. Was it overhand? A simple toss? Maybe like a girl? Please start a few threads of analysis for us.

Collegiate wrestling gets a lot more support from fans then Freestyle does. NIL support is there.

Does prison time count against Collegiate eligibility? TommieBoy has so much to consider in planning his lineup. Will Tom start looking like John Smith if AJ does show up on the roster? John aged 20 years in one season.

Lee Lost & wussed out. Then ran away and hid from Suriano in Freestyle.

Iowa City has plenty of space in the trailer parks so the whole Clan will fit right in. Goetz will be hawking "AJ Flex" T-shirts at the dual meets. Iowa has Safeguards - flood and fire and hail insurance - why worry about wrestlers? SkinnyGirl popcorn. Helps keep the girlish figure.

Ed Ruth at Penn State. Somehow he seems to be overlooked by way too many.
