You can defend yourself without slinging mud

Personal opinions, especially correct ones, are one thing. But if you are speaking in your professional space it's best to act like an adult and he doesn't.

Money talks is a more accurate statement. Because even in instances where it may not be about money, money still speaks very loudly. I can get on board for that. But I don't think the disrespect male wrestling is receiving from D1 schools and the sports world in general is ABOUT money.

You were saying something everyone says that is false. It wasn't a true statement. It's not about money it's about respect. The women's wrestling team in bring in more money? I doubt it but maybe. Right now people respect women's wrestling and men's wrestling has none. No one cares we are the world champs.... no one cared. But there's a hunger for women's freestyle at the college level? It's not about money. Appreciate all you do man. I know you work hard.

If money talks none of these teams would even have a women's program. The truth is they do what they want and the wrestling community takes it a lot of the time. It's not about money it's a complete lack of respect. I can guarantee male wrestling is not the their biggest cost to value ratio.

I'm am ASU fan and Jacori does not need to back peddle like that for the entire match for "his style" it looked like he realized he could get away with it and it allowed him go save energy for his explosive stuff. Was clear as day stalling IMO.

Sure if that's the credit people are fighting for. He had the ability to see a man rolling, let him roll, see the roll was middle school flopping, and lay on top of him. I thought we were arguing over wether it was impressive, which it isnt.

I don't have flo. A buddy of mine and I watched the replay on YouTube yes.

That's not true at all. Folkstyle is a straight up better sport with more objective scoring. No one wants to watch a sport where. One guy stars out on bottom, leg lace techs are supposed to be cool, pushouts encourage unfinished shots and the ref can't stop blowing the whistle and no one knows who hets the points for a move because its sloppy. It's hot garbage. My friends come over for folkstyle if I have it on. No one comes for free.

I enjoyed it. At the end they discuss how to do a wrestling grand slam and David says it would need to be unrelated to worlds. Perfect! Do folkstyle, all these great american legends and no one watches because the style is trash. They won a world championship and no one cared. If you want eyes on the best American guys they need to wrestle our domestic style.

Sure in the sense he laid on top of a man who threw himself on his back like a fish. It wasn't like he worked for and earned a pin. He went fishing and the fish jumped in his lap. Quite the sight but not impressive fishing.

Many duelists enter the tournaments.

Duel is correct, not dual.

Shane sparks is my favorite. He's fun, knowledgeable, and he LOVES wrestling

I thought he was way over coaching and quite critical constantly. I'm not even saying I disagree with him but David begging these guys to shoot more makes the matches more painful. He just keeps bringing up how they aren't pulling the trigger enough, and I agree it was just annoying me. Besides the constant coaching where he's essentially talking like he's better than everyone (he is, he just shouldn't come off that way so much) I love him on there. I like the knowledge, and I think he will get better.

All the ufc fight pass stuff was great but the first match (duel) of the dual (match) with Wyoming and Campbell was awesome. High drama in high altitude.

I'm using logic and vocabulary, you're using appeal to masses and ad hominen attacks. You're not too far off with where I'd like to put my trident at this point.

Well wrestling fans aren't the smartest lot so im not surprised. We call our domestic style folkstyle. Any regional style is a folkstyle. It's America style. It's American style wrestling and where two teams compete in a wrestling meet and individual competitors duel. It's pretty simple.

As opposed to a single meet?

That'd be a shoot out. A duel is between two people. I just read Gentlemen's blood a history of dueling from swords at dawn to pistols at dusk. Fun read. It's duel. And we have it backwards the teams have a match and the wrestlers have duels.

It's better my way. And thus I'm over ruling if. It's duel.

Came to say I just saw figgy baby listed for today. It's going down.

Is duel not the proper spelling? Is it dual? That makes even less sense than the current nomenclature, which is backwards; calling an individual's wrestling event a match and the team event a duel. It makes more sense It's a team match comprised of individual duels. As for what to expect, reasonable pricing would be nice considering we can't fill our seats.

I think a beer was 18 bucks at the ASU duels last year and a slice of pizza was like 11 dollars. Shameless. And the tickets weren't two dollars either....

Why?
