  1. Well then we’ve eliminated the mats as the culprit.
  2. I don’t know the answer, have they been in use at NCAAs since 2000s?
  3. Feels like this is really tied to COVID. As many companies came out with UV sanitizers in response. If that’s the case, how much time have they had to invest in studying the effectiveness? Might take a couple years to see if it’s effective? Which could be the results that are starting to be seen.
  4. 1. I know it’s because it’s what was required by my coaches.. Headgear at all times. It’s an avoidable injury, it should be prevented. 2. Okay 3. Okay 4. Will refs call it? Seeing what gets called “Action” going out of bounds, it won’t be called like we want it to. I can easily foresee a wrist ride being seen as a working for nearfall. Or cross wrist. Or claw. Any leg in. Hopefully it eliminates the ankle pinch/hook though. 5. Might work out well but it’s going to take some growing pains and possibly unintended consequences we may not yet see.
  5. A feared… tilter Does he rank in the top 50 in career falls?
  6. Taylor, but Dake keeps it close.
  7. Yeah I don’t understand how they could ever determine who to blame. Never seen it called as a stalling.
  8. Karen Sanderson, 4 year undefeated referee.
  9. I thought a few years back it became a warning/stalemate then it becomes a stall call. Found it
  10. Replaced with cadaver meniscus. They can be repaired with sticthes but that’s rare. I’m thinking more likely a clean out of frayed edges?
  11. Now what do we do?
  12. Again, Taylor, but Dake keeps it close.
  13. Reminder Penn State University is in Pennsylvania.
  14. Golden Brick, love it. Petition to get it added to the tourney awards.
  15. Taylor, but Dake keeps it close.
  16. And people thought Trump was going to take the focus off wrestling. Turns out it was a wrestler taking the focus off wrestling, huh. Cart before the horse or something.
  17. Starocci has 3 and could get 5. Brooks with 3 as well. KO’T could be a 4 timer but those guys could be the next ones.
  18. Whoops forgot about that Gable. Yup. Seems like this is becoming more common in the current times. Not sure if this era is an anomaly or the occurrence of 4 timers will become more frequent.
  19. Yes, the triple play is not one-to-one comparison of course. More an example that rare isn’t always all skill based or can involve luck. Experience, yes college experience. There are plenty of lightweights who have wrestled 12+ years by the time they start college. But having wrestled at 6 years old probably doesn’t help as much as having a year(s) in college. Being a four timer is an incredible feat but there is definitely a percentage of circumstance at play. Gable wrestled during the era of no freshman varsity, he couldn’t get 4. He’s a two-timer (1-1-2). So when in history you wrestled matters. Then you only got Three now COVID in play you get five. I do not disagree at all that it’s impressive to win all 20-ish NCAA bouts and be a four-timer.
  20. If they both happened to live near Ames would they still have ended up at Cornell? The coincidence being where they lived I guess? Yianni beats 8th grade Vito
  21. Beautiful work as always.
  22. To be a four-timer you have to win as a Freshman, has the college program put in the instant development to get them there or have they already come in as an incredible talent? In that case it’s more personal decisions of where to go to school. Just so happens 2 guys picked Cornell. It’s neat that they have 2 and the big guys only have 1 or 0. The four-timer thing is impressive and also circumstantial for most. Weight class, opponents, upsets, rule changes(I’m looking at you Logan), redshirts/Grey shirts/Olympic Shirts/Dress shirts/ T shirts/ COVID Shirts/ Hawaiian shirts, plus a myriad of other factors. Wrestling at lighter weights means you’re more likely to wrestle less experienced opponents and more evenly matched in your early years. Sanderson doing it -84, -97 makes it all the more incredible, plus the whole undefeated thing, really sets him apart from the group. In baseball, the unassisted triple play is one of the rarest feats, with 15 occurrences in the 147 years of baseball… Eric Bruntlett has one of them. So yeah, it may be rare and incredible, but luck and circumstance have their part as well.
  23. Every time action leaves the boundaries there should be a stall call.
  24. I did really enjoy him in the Olympics.
