I think it is partly him not liking Bono and partly the U of WI in general, going back to Barry Davis and comments that he made when Askren was being recruited.

New gig as a motivational speaker for the youth of America. Only drops the F-bomb a couple times.

So, we are on a message board discussing an instagram post explaining a tweet from a high school kid.

Outstanding effort by the Gophers with 3 starters out. Especially glad to see Bergeland back to his NCAA form from last year. #11 Minnesota 24, #17 Illinois 9 157: #14 Michael Carr (ILL) dec.

Nelson pinning Gelogaev in the National Duals. Ohh I miss the National Duals.

I thought the first half was alright, but the upper weights were a snooze fest, except for Starocci/Brands dance off at the end.

Illinois looks to be a slight favorite. I'm hoping the Gophers will come out strong with having only 1 match this week.

This was one of my favs. I'm sure Alex can appreciate it.

They should have just checked his oil.

I don't know what oil the fuss is about.

Lots of injuries to the true fr. and redshirt fr. Lyden, Tabor, and Jamison haven't wrestled at all this year, and doesn't look like they will. I think Sparks slides up to 174 and Carlson in at 165 next year. Lyden could challenge either guy if he can stay healthy. I like some combination of Vombaur, Jamison, and Roberts at 141 and 149, if Blockhus doesn't use his 6th year.

Brands accuses Hilger of being "oiled up".

Ty Cobb would only hit about .270 against today's MLB pitching. But in his defense, he would be 137 years old.

Minnesota 20, Purdue 12 125: Matt Ramos (PUR) over Patrick McKee (MINN) (Dec 4-2) 133: Jake Gliva (MINN) over Dustin Norris (PUR) (Dec 4-2) 141: Parker Filius (PUR) over Jakob Bergeland (MINN) (Dec 8-5) 149: Michael Blockhus (MINN) over Jaden Reynolds (PUR) (MD 13-4) 157: Kendall Coleman (PUR) over Brayton Lee (MINN) (Dec 5-2) 165: Andrew Sparks (MINN) over Stoney Buell (PUR) (Dec 4-0) 174: Bailee O`Reilly (MINN) over Cooper Noehre (PUR) (Dec 8-3) 184: Isaiah Salazar (MINN) over Ben Vanadia (PUR) (Dec 10-3) 197: Michial Foy (MINN) over Hayden Filipovich (PUR) (MD 13-5) 285: Hayden Copass (PUR) over Garrett Joles (MINN) (Dec 5-3)

It's close between Wyoming and Oklahoma State. In fact they could be related

I like Burwick going back to high school. He came out hard tonight, but gassed a bit at the end, which is to be expected with all the emotion/excitement he went through today.

I didn't like to see the Gophers lose a few of those early matches the way they did, but the upper weights made it an exciting dual despite the somewhat lopsided score.

Avoid empty calories. The best gains are from eating liver, bone marrow, and blood. No juice needed.

Here is one of our Representatives showing the correct way to execute a chin drop.

He seemed very surprised whenever someone scored an escape, like it was some new revolutionary strategy.

I never get commercials during Flo broadcasts. Maybe I should call their tech support and have them fix that.

Iowa needs to bring in the Ferrari clan to improve team morale

Both at once! Bonus!
