Pa in Taiwan

He should have said "is certainly NOT"

Wrestling is a conservative leaning sport. It's not "red state", because politics in the US is not just red state/blue state. In every state, the large concentration of blue voters reside in the cities, while the red voters are in the suburbs and rural areas. The latter is where the wrestlers and their families live.

Good God! What an exaggeration. Gable is certainly NOT the #1 HWT FS wrestler in the world. He probably wasn't that in the year that he won the Olympics. He had a good day. Geno Petriashvili choked bigly, and Gable did not face Iran. And if you disagree, that's great. Keep in mind that that gold medal was in the 2020 Olympics, which I believe took place in 2021. Since 2021, Gable Steveson has NOT competed in senior men's freestyle. How can you say he's the #1 HWT FS wrestler? Memories, pressed across the pages of my mind Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine Your memories of Gable as Olympic Champ do NOT make him #1. Other heavies have been developing. Do you think Gable made a lot of progress in his freestyle wrestling since 2021?

He won't see Masoumi, not this year anyway. Masoumi can't get past Zare, who is still pretty young and will probably represent Iran for a few more years. Don't worry, though. He can't beat Zare either.

Hamiti goes full Sanderson on Haines, via David Taylor.

Losing by major is closer than losing by tech fall. The bonus points from Mitch will add to the PSU cause.

Ruiz over Pinto in the consis at 174. You never thought as a PSU fan that you would care about Nebraska guys losing on the back side, but I guess every point will be counting here.

Undoubtedly. Keep in mind that PSU has 5 wrestlers still competing for the title in 165 through Hwt and Nebraska has only Minto. Is there a real chance that Minto will get past Messenbrink?

Jimmy says Cael Sanderson after this implosion. Coach Cody is ready to take over.

A 10AA implosion according to Jimmy.

I think he will pull through there. He's up against Swisher, #14 seed from Penn.

It's narcissism. It's not a question of whether Jimmy is or isn't a Nittany Lions fan. It's about making posts that attract attention so that he can feel like the center of the universe with everyone revolving around him. Pay your debts. We remember. Dork.

Absolutely. He is a dork, and he keeps doubling down, and PSU keeps proving him wrong. He reacts will glee when Lightning Luke and Davis go down and predicts that Barr and Kerk will also lose. When Barr MAJORS Beard, not a peep out of him. When Kerk rolls, not a peep out of him. Jimmy, this is the NCAA Championship Tournament. Everyone is tough. Top seeds like Luke lose tough matches at times. He could still wrestle back for third and score more team points. Davis performed better than most expected, especially you, who predicted, I believe, an "0-2 barbecue". I'm pleased to see that guys who looked injured in the B10/B12 tourneys like Barr and Hendrickson are looking pretty healthy now. I watched O'toole's interview after his come-back win in the round of 16 and he is obviously hampered by his injuries; he said it openly. It could affect his performance. All well-deserved props to Nebraska for an excellent performance. Turn up the heat. The semis are here.

It would be infinitely more interesting to discover who the OLDEST poster here on the forums is. I'm 62.

Ryan has certainly adopted strange pronouns.
