    What happens to business that make too much money?

    There's too much money in football, and less so basketball. What if the NCAA were to drop football and become the college athletics association for just the Olympic/non-revenue sports? Not that it would happen or do much to save the small sports.

    I think they'll be tempted to compete at home in the US for more hardware in 2028, but they're both pretty long in the tooth and will lose a step or two. They may not be our world team reps between Paris and LA.

    You're drunk. Woods will be fine.

    Shane's passion and hard work cannot be denied, but he simply isn't the type of wrestling analysis geek that a lot of diehard fans are. He even admitted as much on Flo's NCAA bracket show last season when Pyles and Askren were deep diving into seed placement, record, hypothetical matchups, etc. and Sparks was like "okay, guys!"
  6. CHROMEBIRD
    Agreed. Thing to remember about Sparks though is that he's not really for us. He's the hype guy to keep more casual fans engaged while we nerd out and analyze strategy and technique.

    What if Gabe Arnold takes them both out

    Thanks... my next guess was nephew It's been a minute since Brandon wrestled

    Robbie Precin... I assume he's related to Brandon Precin? Cousin? Brother?

    The sad truth is, it'll depend on how much NIL money he can get. I don't think Starocci makes the 2024 Olympic team. An NIL payday at PSU might be his best option, plus being a 5-timer (if he gets it done) will give his MMA/WWE stock a huge boost.

    Any word on how Elor is handling the weight cut?
  15. CHROMEBIRD
    That's always been the rub for him, no?

    How tall are Hamiti and Truax? They both seem tall for their weights.

    No Rags-Teske? Not that it would change the predicted outcome. Big test for Amine. This dual could be a real confidence booster or turn him into a total head case depending on how things go. I hope he doesn't sit this one out.

    Likely helping more than fully officiating. Baseball piloted technology in the minors to accurately call strikes/balls. It did a better job than humans at making the correct calls, but everyone hated it because the robot umpiring made games last a lot longer. Like laws, many sports rules are subject to interpretation. I do agree that the reviews in wrestling really slows down the action, for better or for worse. It was especially bad at NCAAs last year. Officials burnt a ton of time with reviews.

    Hmmm, I haven't been sued yet. STALLLLING!

    Looks like the Northwestern is past their internal medical issue from last week and are good to go against Nebraska tomorrow and Iowa on Sunday. Storniolo says the make-up date for the Illinois dual will be on 2/28 following their Indiana dual which has now been moved up to noon local time. https://nusports.com/news/2024/1/25/northwestern-wrestling-announces-schedule-changes

    Thing that bothers me isn't just the lack of acknowledgment that that their wrestlers screwed up. It's not taking ownership of what happened and acknowledging they screwed up as the head coaches. No one expects the coaching staff to babysit their wrestlers 24x7 but I don't think it's too much to ask a hc to make sure they're checking the boxes on mandatory NCAA policies and procedures, like compliance training. The buck stops with them, yet they take no accountability and blame others.

    Wasn't there a documentary about Lance and Colin Palmer during their hs days that included a clip of them wrestling a bear and other farm livestock? I can't remember if it was a full documentary film or a Flo production or Youtube video, and I have no idea what made me think of this video just now

    "We need the dues!"

    Ah right, the Pan Am Championships/Games/Qualifier gets me every time.

    The runway is growing ever shorter, though. Iowa only has 5 or 6 duals left before Big Tens.
