Have to ask…how do you imbed the YouTube videos like that?

I just right click on the video I want and then from the pop-up menu select "copy link".

Bennett Tabor definitely has the best walk out music among current Gophers with Motorhead's Ace of Spades and Nazareth Hair of the Dog in consecutive duals.

I have a trivia question that I hope someone can help me clarify.  Although I was at this NCAA tournament, I don't recall seeing the event in question, I just remember people talking about it afterwards.

What 2 former D1 college teammates (both All-Americans at some point) wrestled each other 3 times in the same D1 NCAA tournament?

I didn't take his statement on FRL to mean that he necessarily wants to get into college coaching.  Maybe he just wants to spend more time with or expand his club coaching. He mentioned Freddie Roach as motivating him to coach and he is a boxing and MMA trainer.

Wasn't it something open to interpretation like, "What is going on in Columbus?"

Much like his recent video, "What's wrong with Iowa".  Flo probably would have censored him on this as well.  Going out on his own he has more journalistic freedom.

Ollie? Yes he was joking. I don’t find his persona funny is the problem. He hams up the worst parts of people from the east coast. 

If you find Ollie loud and obnoxious, how do you feel about Chael?

really? He’s soooooo loud and obnoxious. He even had to make episode 1000 about himself when it was really CP’s day. 
 

I can only judge him from afar though, so what do I know. 

He was kidding around. 

Purdue and Illinois could be pretty close.

That's a close one.

 

Oh boy

I don't think he's jumped levels.  I think he's at the same level he was last year.  But,  he's wrestled a tougher schedule and I can't take @MNRodent seriously when he brings Taylor Lamont into the conversation.  

...and 5 other all-americans.

Just now, PortaJohn said:

I don't know how to tell you in any other way that he's wrestled a harder regular season schedule this year.  

How many AAs this year?  Hint: it's less than one.

Last year AA's he faced:  Fix, Byrd, Cannon, Lamont (Fix, RBY and Mendez in postseason)

You're thinking with your pooper.

Again not true.  Crookham beat Vito earlier in the year & Bouzakis pinned Orine earlier in the year.  The other losses are to Ragusin and now Shawver.  All four ranked in the top 10 or (11) for Shawver in Intemat's rankings.  

Byrd, Fix, Cannon were all top 10ish and returning All-Americans last year at the time of their meeting. Plus, RBY twice, Mendez twice, Fix again in the postseason. His only bad loss last year was Palmer.

Say coffee grinder one more time, please.

Yes really.  He's had more high ranked opponents this year.  The schedule doesnt lie

 

He has losses to two freshmen this year that are ranked high largely because they beat him.

His schedule has been tougher this year

Not really.  Big Ten schedule both years and he also had Okie State/Fix regular season last year.

They can still be used to show displeasure. 

Or throw at the opposing coach. 

Useful for a strategic lung timeout also.

And he makes sure the bricks are in Rutgers corner.

Are bricks really much good with no replay?  What they going to do just talk it over from memory and then not change the call.

Or more of a slow sarcastic clap?

Here is the escape call to force overtime at 125 with 1 second on the clock. 

Oh good, more Penn State media coverage.

Kueter battling and keeping it closer than I thought, but Kerk not really opening up.
