Guess what the school web address is? https://calbaptist.edu/

While I can appreciate brand management, sometimes you are what the people say you are. Resistance is futile. Credit to the Cal Baptist SID for sending the email that his boss told him to send because someone saw a Tweet.

Like I said, I'm probably in the minority, but Ferrari isn't getting manhandled by Kerk. He's not Tate Orndorff. I hope the match happens. Ferrari, if nothing else, is train-wreck entertaining.
-
Nah. That match was one-sided. Woods was clearly superior in that match.
-
I may be in the minority here, but I don't think Ferrari loses to Kerkvliet if those rumors of him not having a chance to reach 197 are true.

Nick Lee has owned Yanni. Frankly, I'm not sure Nick Lee doesn't have a World Silver if he has Rivera's draw...but I digress.

Does anyone have any actual proof of this idea that Micic skipped the weigh-ins or are we into the full internet conspiracy stage? Have his competitors spoken out? Have coaches from other countries protested? Are we just going by "looks like..." innuendo? I find it hard to believe that a guy can skip weigh-ins for the World Championship and not have someone say something publicly.

Paris 2024 Olympic Freestyle Team
TylerDurden replied to RandolphTJones's topic in International Wrestling
If Spencer does not challenge, what is the point of signing with the HWC? Serious question. I think many people would love to see him compete, me included. -
Highest Placing Freshman at Each Weight
TylerDurden replied to steamboat_charlie's topic in College Wrestling
My guess i$ Michigan had more to offer. I've heard from pretty reliable folks that Escobedo has been outbid for the top kids out of Indiana (*cough* Mendez *cough*). He's in the mix, but he's fighting an uphill battle for the elite recruits. I don't blame the kids for choosing what they feel is the best offer, most of us would. I'm also not suggesting there aren't other factors to choose a place like Ohio State or Michigan, for instance, over IU - the administrations and boosters at those schools choose to support the programs at vastly different levels (RTCs, etc.) - but damn, it would be nice for IU (or Purdue) to land those kids and become competitive in the conference. -
Highest Placing Freshman at Each Weight
TylerDurden replied to steamboat_charlie's topic in College Wrestling
Is this really a possibility? Lemley wrestled 132 in HS last season, correct? Edit: same question as Wildcat had a couple minutes sooner. -
Thanks, Biden.

Also for context, Jesse Owens ran on tracks made of cinder, with no starting blocks, and still recorded a pr of 10.2 in the 100 and 20.7 in the 200. I don't know how closely you follow track, but there are people out there who have analyzed Owens vs. Usain Bolt and have concluded that Owens is basically within a stride of the fastest track athlete in history in the 100m when you level out the surface/equipment disadvantages. There's next to zero chance Owens would DNQ for an NCAA sprint final. I understand the point you're trying to make, but Owens isn't the guy you want to hold up to make that point.

The US just isn't performing at 97kg. Time to put that old dog down. By the time the 2024 Olympics roll around, he'll be 28 and way past his prime. It's really hard to see why there aren't young guys knocking Snyder off. It's not as if you have to be a world-level gold medal contender to beat him. I'm not sure you really thought this one through.

Does Yazdani have any chance?
TylerDurden replied to Takuto_Otoguro's topic in International Wrestling
He does have a chance, but Taylor is the favorite. I don't expect a 7-1 win again, but I do expect Taylor to win in the 4-1 / 5-2 range -
Good riddance? What the hell is wrong with you. That kid busted his ass for MN. If he wasn't physically or mentally prepared to return, at least part of that has to be on the medical and coaching staff, yes? If he was too injured to wrestle (which is appeared from the outside) then he shouldn't have been out there.
-
I like that Kenny Monday isn't messing around in year one. That's a challenging slate for a first-year program, especially one that's almost entirely freshman. I'll be rooting for Morgan State to have success.

Which two teams, combined, beat PSU in a dual?
TylerDurden replied to Le duke's topic in College Wrestling
PSU is likely very competitive in a match against a lineup of the rest of DI. It's an impressive collection of talent. -
Then it's an illogical and absurd standard. Every current D1 heavyweight would lost to Masoumi in a similar fashion. There aren't guys like him in D1. I tend to agree that Carroll would benefit from a redshirt season like most freshman would, just completely disagree that his match with Masoumi is any sort of barometer for that decision. It's not like we just watched him get teched by Lucas Davison.
-
Not sure this is the match to troll Carroll supporters for. Masoumi has won Cadets, U20 and U23 worlds already. He's a senior-level medal threat right now. Literally the only takeaway is that Carroll isn't the best age-group 125kg in the world, which we already knew.

Because more people in the US are familiar with folkstyle and also have unhealthy obsessions with the universities they attended or support.

Big 10, Big 12, and Pac 12 shuffle (maybe) coming in hot
TylerDurden replied to bnwtwg's topic in College Wrestling
Texas kills every league it's in. Change my mind. -
Big 10, Big 12, and Pac 12 shuffle (maybe) coming in hot
TylerDurden replied to bnwtwg's topic in College Wrestling
2PAC is the obvious choice. -
So you're telling me I need to click a link to the see the rest of the results?

I don't personally gamble on apps, but placing bets quickly and almost unconsciously is part of the design. They make it very, very easy to place wagers. I'm not saying 1,283 doesn't seem like a large number of wagers over the time period for most people, but placing that many bets via an app that you can access 24 hours a day isn't the most noteworthy thing in the complaint.
