  1. Cage was so good in that movie. I couldn't touch alcohol for a week after watching it.
  2. On FRL today Pyles is saying that Cunningham was first pursued but declined. Then Taylor expressed interest, but Pyles thinks he has or will decline the OSU job and that it will be Coleman.
  3. The stock market will never be risk free in the short term, but over the decades a total stock market index fund has averaged about 10%. A balanced 70/30 stock to bond ratio will get you about 8% nominal return. Bonds alone, 4-5%. Cash money market fund have been paying around 5% for most of the last year, which is about as safe as you can get, but historically more like 2-3%. Inflation has historically been 2-3% so you need more than that to break even.
  4. They should just do an auction.
  5. Gray-shirting, last I heard.
  6. Also, check out Landon Robideau, a Jr from Minnesota up at this weight. His last national appearance was at 138 at Super 32 (2nd place). He is looking very physical with the weight bump.
  7. If he can maintain his strength at 197 he could be a real problem. He looked good at the trials but that's 16 more pounds, with lots weigh-ins for college.
  8. John Hardy who was the club coach for Jamison and Spratley, wrestled for the Gophers for 2 or 3 seasons around 2000-2002, after transferring from Neosho CC. He was listed as a Senior in 2022 in the program and I don't remember him wrestling anywhere else after that, but he may have. I saw him at a lot of the home Gopher matches when the two were redshirting in 22-23. Jamison said in an interview that Hardy recommending Minnesota as how he found out about the program and decided to come here.
  9. Body language is a real thing. Watch any random tournament where you don't know anyone and try guessing winners just based on body language.
  10. Retherford and Lee have matching head wraps. Cute.
  11. Wow, Nate Jackson :25 second tech fall, pending review.
  12. He didn't look nearly as good against Gross.
  13. I heard he really struggles to maintain his weight, but don't remember exactly what he said, probably around 230.
  14. He didn't even seem to have his normal 2nd period sweat going.
  15. Carrol is a bull, but he will be really sucked down if he does go 197 in college.
  16. Braxton Amos has to injury default while leading. It happened on an underarm spin and looked like it might have been a dislocated shoulder. Badger program can't catch a break.
  17. I was just thinking the same thing.
  18. I agree and think coaches look at these types of things more so than how teammates do against each other. Beating highly ranked guys is a big deal, not just in showing potential, but in making them more "seed-able" at NCAAs. Hawks may have secured the spot when he beat Salazar.
  19. I can't see Whiting wanting to wrestle a weight (174) that he hasn't been down to since 10th grade, for likely the rest of his career. I would think Wisconsin would offer him everything they can, with everyone they have lost in the upper weights.
