Referees assume both a power (very little) and a responsibility (quite a bit more). For that they deserve respect as a profession. But when we witness the abuse of that little bit of power in an egregious fashion, it is not a sign of disrespect to call out. Rather, it is an attempt to hold accountable.

I would predict O'Toole by a hair

It was always exciting to watch him wrestle. I empathize very much with his heartfelt goodbye. Hope the best for the young man.

Pitzer is one of those guys like Vince Cornella that just chose his college based on his own last name. It's an interesting strategy.

It's a factor but not the major factor which is what I said. So your example above is a strawmen. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't understand my post. But you can re-read and get another chance.

okay that makes way more sense if you're using butter. I think I might prefer the way you're saying. But without butter, the frosting is nice for just a little bit of something that's not completely dried out

If you're going butter does that mean no frosting? Or you butter the other side?

Thursday night action (unfortunately untelevised) with Dyson Dunham of VMI taking down Chad Bellis of App State 7-3. Bellis is ranked 39th by wrestlestat and has a win over Brett Ungar this year while Dunham is ranked 107th and his previous best win was Logan Heil (112th on WS).

The opposing kid also had his headgear off when they were shaking hands! It's hard to do it any more gently than the Easton kid dropped his on the ground. Where was the other point?

I know you didn't ask me, but I'm also curious in MPhil's answer. Vinny Kilkeary and Brendan McCrone: great problem to have - both have AA potential. Kilkeary seems to be on trajectory for lifelong 125 while McCrone seems to have a bit more length on him with a possibility to eventually go 133. 133: Davino and Bouzakis are both studs, but may as well use the redshirt while you got it if Davino is okay with that 157: I think Gallagher is fighting for his life to maintain the spot but he's doing well so far. Cannon is biting at his heels. 165: I like watching Sammy because of the comeback story, but it wouldn't surprise me if he loses to Hepner in his current state

Sounds like they also temporarily committed to Little Rock between commitments to Mizzou and NC State. Hopefully they have found their final destination, but something wouldn't surprise me if its not.

I disagree with the boldfaced. Most people have wrestled on a few different teams over their life - some more positive experiences than others - and that typically impacts the feeling of loyalty to that school. Winning states indicates the relationship was likely positive and he has a far greater inclination to be biased in favor of his former team in that case. Its not the major detail, but it is quite relevant.

I guess it depends on who you ask. I think that may be right though that many don't count the redshirt wins just like they dont count the losses

No he didn't. In the hypothetical world where he did throw it? Yes it makes a huge difference. Both of these should be obvious

What the young man did was not illegal. Unless you were talking about the ref

I wrestled against both of these teams growing up. The referee was a former state champ from the team from Nazareth (the team he made the call in favor of) - which makes it extra shady

Sad to say that in some part due to the silly things I did to cut weight in high school, my stomach and digestive system took a turn for the worse as an adult. When I get something like food poisoning or a stomach bug - it turns me into a zombie

When I get dehydrated which happens from time to time, my wife boils water with a little salt and sugar and lets it cool. Then I drink it at room temp or just slightly warmer. When I can't hold even water down, that's the best stuff.

awesome stats WKN. I checked Latona since you pointed him out. Looks like he has surpassed 100 wins during the beginning of this season.

Nico Provo just got added to Wrestlestats Redshirt list

I think the fourth horseman will be Patrick Downey

I'll adjust my guarantee to be conditional upon: if the event takes place. I was blown away by Barr's performance this weekend and in fact had predicted he would lose a decision to Beard.

I can't wait for the bonus points. It's a guarantee
