  1. Snyder barely won his Olympic Gold with last minute technique. Not exactly "dominating" that one. Very good wrestler, maybe he wins a world title and even another Gold in the Olympics? Will wait and see. He sure did better this time than I thought he would.
  2. WWE is not wrestling. It is 'rassl'n' and is for whores of the sport. Yes, some very good wrestlers go that route but it is a sad thing to see.
  3. Mexico will find him loading up on frijoles, mole, hueveos rancheros, burritos, menudo, tamales and more. He will be wrestling Gable Stevenson weight before you know it and will successfully bypass Cox and Snyder.
  4. Yojo Uetake won 64 Olympic Gold while wrestling with a shoulder separation. https://theolympians.co/2016/06/15/two-time-olympic-champion-wrestler-yojiro-uetake-part-1-technique-speed-and-victory/ Lee has his challenges. Biggest is in his head now.
  5. Your country is banned, you don't compete. Very simple solution.
  6. Jordan Burroughs wrestled with a broken ankle. Spencer wussed out.
  7. Nope, the man is a quitter. No wrestlebacks... and now no Suriano match. The progression downhill just gets steeper.
  8. To wrestle for France won't he first have to take classes to learn how to say "I Surrender" in German?
  9. Good for the Iowa fans for such great support for their team. Now if only T&T can sit back and do a critical analysis of why they are not producing Titles and institute changes in the program they might be in the Title chase instead of First Loser. Even Dan Gable had to change how he did some things when his guys stopped winning Team Titles. He did it and the team responded. Can T&T get it done?
  10. Because he is a visual failure. Does not look like a head coach and generally gives a sloppy look in public venues. Speaks better than basketball player Karl Malone - but that isn't saying much. Appears half in the bag much of the time in interviews. Maybe a good wrestler but as the face of a Universitiy Sports Program he isn't making it.
  11. Remember that Jordan Burroughs won a world title with a broken ankle.
  12. Feet may be because he became a Mormon and is now "White and Delightsome"?
  13. I don't think he paints his toe nails.
  14. He's making sure what weight Vito is so he can choose a different one.
  15. Will need a supreme tactial technique coach to get them over the hump. Downey is available. Should fit right in. ------------ Reality is that Tom & Terry are there and have the program still competitive. Just can't get past Penn State. When Dan Gable had the let down he re-tooled and did some tweaking and brought the team back to the top. Don't know if T&T can do that. If they don't they are second banana for some time to come.
  16. Has he been talking with George Foreman? Maybe got the comeback idea cooking a side of beef on a George Foreman grill?
  17. Must think God is pretty insecure that he needs all that glorifying. While we are at it, why screw his old team this way? Sure doesn't seem like a good religious type of thing.
  18. May easily be that the Iowa religious types are not as loud about it. Did watch a number of their wrestlers doing the jesus stuff, just not as loud about it as some other schools. Maybe T&T twins believe but don't push it on everyone? Cael's group is major league proselyting/converting bunch who go door to door pushing their religion on folks and telling them that they have the Only True Church on earth. All others are false, their creeds are an abomination to God. Doesn't get much more 'in your face' than that. T&T & many other coaches - we seldom hear anything about their belief. Maybe they aren't loud about it or believe faith is a personal thing?
  19. Some States don't have the population. Our nearest school closed two years ago. Kids could pick three towns to go to depending on which might be closer. As it is the next closest now partners with three other schools for some sports. Not enough kids for a full football program so they play 9 man. Western part of the State they play 6 man. Eligibility for HS sports starts in 7th grade. At that some schools are hard pressed to field a full basketball team and some do not have wrestling at all.
  20. He did not get it done. He was pinned and it wasn't a fluke. Then he quit, ran and hid rather than wrestle back to try for third. He's an almost. Damn good but when it came down to it - he quit - he wussed out.
  21. pinfall? The term is PIN or Fall, with Technical Fall being for those not tough enough to get it done the right way. Pinfall is used by dipshiz, idiots and fools.
  22. Hope he can stand up to Grinder Wrestling.
  23. Penn State may have the Team Title but tied with Cornell with TWO champions each. Team Title is not a lock no matter how good any one team is. Injury and illness come into play. Then we have those "sure thing" champs run into a Vito Arujau... No one seemed to see that one coming. Penn State is the big dog. Cael & Staff are doing a great job with their wrestlers. They are the favorites to win but nothing is guaranteed when opponents step on the mat.
  24. We have five wrestlers who are 4 time winners. Three of them are 4 time HS champs. Pat Smith won 3. Kyle won 2. Yianni won 4 out of 5. Cael & Logan were 4 for 4. What happened in HS to prevent the others from winning every one? Yianni was injured - preventing him winning 5 in HS. Kyle took 2nd one year - but did not win 4. Can't see what Pat Smith did - was 3 the norm at the time or did he get beat, was ill or injured? Am sure a few of the perfect records for 3 time NCAA champs from the past would have been 4 timers but they did not get the chance. So, back to High School. What happened to prevent these few above from winning it all in HS every season? Also - how come Diakomihalis is called Yianni but was born John Michael Diakomihalis? Name Change? Mistake in the records? Yep, it is the off season - so why not start looking for most anything wrestling...
  25. Which major Sport has never had an NCAA Champion at the top level of competition?
