Saw that right after they posted to their front page. Sigh.

Anthony? Is it thee?

literally had the same thought as I was listening to side convos in the background...was certain I was going to catch someone talking about a hookup or significant other or something

Slava looked good and controlled the entire match for sure. Conversely, Woj looked bad, which may be a product of Slava being some in control, but Abe looked slow and uninvolved much of the time, never set up any shots or worked for anything. Was just sort of out there kind of playing defense.

I think this is what 90% of teams wish they had, and I actually DO think this is asking a bit too much out of the current Indiana program. I can understand the sentiment of wanting them to be there or expecting that they could achieve that, but that club feels so far away from anything resembling that. Like, I would be happy to settle for a consistent 1 AA and several other guys showing improvement and potential; I don't think any Indiana fan is going to have a good time any season soon if they are expecting or desire several AA and a potential finals appearance.

If Davis stops being a dick, CMU would be a good place for him. I like Coach BB a lot

Never thought i'd be stoked to see that ugly ass O as I'm scroilling through a forum about college sports, but here we are. The devolving of this thread into a bunch of blue hairs bickering about who is more wrong or right based mostly around semantics has changed how I feel about seeing Ohio State insignias. Wild life in 2026

Adorably naïve. Such cutes

So many athletes pre-2018 were wrongfully stripped of their fifth years as well, unbelievable!!!!

build the dam!

My exact thought when I read their schedule...very "oo...ooooo...OOO ok Cal Poly" very much the type of schedule I dig. Try to make every single event a challenging one. Love the method of several tournaments in semester 1 and then conference slate in semester 2. Wouldn't mind a few duals mixed in in semester 1, but I love the number of tournaments

I have never watched this show, but it gets a ton of mileage on this forum (for obvious reasons). Typically not a huge show person for whatever reason (I crush movies but mentally struggle with the hurdle of shows with multiple episodes and seasons)...What about this is so great and illuminating? My uninformed speculation is that it's a bunch of episodes with clips of wrestling and practice, random short interviews with people, etc. Is there much to this beyond a docuseries that allows us wrestling content in the same vein as other sports get with 30 for 30 and behind the scenes crap on ESPN and stuff? Or is there wrestling to be watched? Curious if the draw here is that there is so little content that this is novel and interesting, or if there is actually some quality info and insight here regarding OkSU? Regardless, happy that content like this is out there and exists and that season 2 is underway as well. Good for the sport in any form, hopefully it pulls in some randoms

Similar feelings regarding Michigan. I think Beau has one more season (27/28) tho, which is great for us. Catrabone also a RS So I believe. 27/28 is the season for this squad. There is a lot of interesting development in this club for this season with how young they are. Beyond the freshman and the returning AA, my eyes will be heavily trained on Sahakian and Walters at the heavy weights. Sahakian hasn't wrestled in years and was coming off HS injury I believe, which is reminiscent of Walters who has been a massive disappointment when compared with his recruiting profile. His summer freestyle season has given me some hope that he may have knocked off the rust and be ready to scrap. 3ish years of starting and stopping training and rehabbing, I think if he's mostly healthy he may be in a position where having wrestled for 2 straight years now or so has allowed him to find himself again. I have a fear that the worst case scenario is both of them being impossibly mediocre, leading us to run another season with roughly 1.5 holes in the lineup. Months back, I predicted 4 AA. 3 repeats and then room for one more to surprise more or less. I'll stand behind that. 10 qualify, hopefully. November is coming up quick!

they will chain data points together from different "sources" and eras and stuff as well. The AI platforms and agents are helpful and nice, but only if you pay attention and fact check some of the stuff and use them appropriately

Damn I was mulling over this exact post of a topic for about 2-3 days a week or two ago. Most of mine have been mentioned. I JUST discussed MSU wrestling today at work with an MSU grad, and exactly as @MPhillipsputs it, they simply don't care. In all of these sports, college and pros, there are great reasons to move on from a coach, but not always a ton of options in doing so, and definitely not always options with a greater ceiling. I suspect MSU is in this position as it pertains to wrestling. They don't seem to care too much to try to be competitive beyond what they are currently, and in many ways are the D1 program in your home state that will take you after you had a successful HS career but saw virtually no recruiting movement. Lots of the guys on their roster are former multi-time state champs, but they aren't good enough to AA in college, and the ones that are tend to leave for better wrestling programs (Davison, Dundee, DCC sending kids out of state) or they wind up at U of M, who is substantially more competitive and allows kids to "stay home" in some capacity. Furthermore, when kids DO start to pop at MSU, they hit the portal (Remy Cotton has essentially had an upward trajectory since day 1 at MSU and left after his first year). I think that program is what it is at this point and it may take a bit of luck for them to climb out. Anyway, FWIW, here was my list... Goodale (Rutgers) Bono (Wisconsin) Chandler (MSU) A whole tier below those 3 I would say you might have Eggum (Minnesota) and Smith (Missouri) as other names. Eggum could be interesting if Minnesota has a bad year, but I think he can ride the MacEnelly success for a while if he wants now, but it feels like Minnesota fans are used to a bit more success from the team/program as a whole. Smith is mostly related to succession rather than hot seat action, as he has been at Mizzou for 28 years, which is wild to me, especially because he is actually only 59 years old. He's just been coaching for literally the entire time since he graduated college. Oddly enough, Smith was a wrestler at MSU in the late 80's before he moved into coaching. Would be wild to see him move on from Missouri and retire from MSU after rebuilding their tragedy (I have no reason to believe this will ever happen)
