Thanks for the advice bud. You are so helpful.

Sarcasm isn’t your strong suit huh? You go ahead and respond and get the last word. Take that victory lap son I bet you don’t get many.

Imagine someone who knew what was happening literally giving you play by play and behaving like this like I said whatever helps you sleep at night. Congrats on being right?

Whatever helps you sleep better at night, son

You were saying….

Any other coaching you’d like to offer? I’m all ears. Tell me more about how you expect me to respond. God forbid somebody actually knows something and they try to share it on this board. Might get in the way of whatever rumor some of you wanna believe. You don’t need to respond anymore. I am done with the subject and said what I wanted to say. I mean, you can respond I guess. But you’ll just be talking to you and your echo chamber. Kinda feels like that’s y’all’s jam anyway

The numbers are pretty obscene.

Ok taking the L. Will this help you move on? Just trying to figure what exactly you need to hear. Would it be better if I said you were “right”? Nevermind, don’t answer that. You know better than me for sure. So you win. I made the whole thing up.

That would be amazing and honestly genius.

Guess we will see…I already see the responses. Sure he went to Michigan but it was never a done deal. All good man. None of you have bothered to try to even know how or why I might be saying what I’m saying. How I could speak with such conviction on the subject. If you did, you’d understand why all these responses are nonsense. You don’t say me speaking about ANY other wrestler and where they are going let alone with conviction. Ever asked yourself why? Probably not. Like I told you, guess we will see. And yeah, take a pause….

Weirdly defensive? Some of you guys are oddly sensitive. Me personally, I don’t know how to read emotion in text. So you all are smarter than I am I guess. To be clear, correcting people who are wrong on a forum is not defensive. Also, it would be weird if some random on a forum who doesn’t know me and me them could evoke some emotion. Whatever the case. If it makes you feel better to say I’m wrong and that I got “weirdly defensive” knock yourself out I guess.

I think we can probably all agree that nothing in life is guaranteed but death, but maybe that needs to be said. I think we can all agree that money can change anything. Again, probably something not needing mention. That said, as I told you yesterday, the ball is Michigan court right now. If they pony up and match there isn’t even a discussion. This move is 100% financial.

Might be gloating a little too soon bud. I’d take a pause. You don’t know what you don’t know….

My favorite is that you think I just made that up. Let’s see what happens. If it helps you at all, I can provide an actual update that isn’t just Willie’s best guess. I CAN tell you that the bag offered by Iowa has given him something to think about. I can also tell you that the ball is in Michigans court right now.

This thread could go so many different directions. Since this is about what improvements could be made I will try to make this as positive as possible: 1. I’ve never watched ANY tournament where feeds or certain mats don’t crash at some point. It’s inevitably when we are trying to watch someone. 2. Their tournament software is absolute trash. They bought track. There was nothing wrong with track. Rebrand it and add to it. It’s still functionally the best bracketing software out there. 3. The talking heads and people running the socials seem to only know the same handful of names. Many people on this board have better wrestling knowledge than these guys. The problem is they are supposed to be the authority or standard on all this stuff. It should be reasonable to expect better. Meanwhile they seem to part ways with the folks with the depth of knowledge you would expect from the leader in the space. 4. The app functionality is spotty. Sometimes I can search for a match sometimes I cannot (mostly on appletv). I should be able to open the app on any platform and quickly get whatever I am looking for. 5. Their rankings are off almost all of the time. Guys in the wrong weights, no longer wrestling, ranked when they shouldn’t be or unranked and clearly should be. It seems like where they are positioned they could probably use the database they have, combine current stats, maybe a rankers input, and have AI pull it all together to be more accurate. Particularly important for kids trying to earn scholarships. There are plenty more but this would be a start.
