CHROMEBIRD

We should all troll Downey and AJ Ferrari to enter the Bill Farrell at 86kg. That would be an entertaining matchup.

He should consider raising ticket prices for volleyball

Is Gomez still banged up from last season? I can't remember what his injury was. Also where can I get a SEAN BORMET IS MY HOMEBOY tshirt?

I wonder where Brands and some of the others are at right now weight and training wise. If it was me, I would've taken a vacation from the gym and hit the all-you-can-eat buffet the moment that the earlier NCAA ruling came down.

For ASU, Parco would probably do well at 141 but JVaz can't go 149. Doubtful that Ysa could either.

I agree about the cut but don't think his chances of placing higher improve at 133 since it's a deeper weight. It'll be like Lizak bumping up his senior year.

Great news. Programs in our sport shouldn't be afraid to ask for nice things.

Cejudo Burroughs Angle --> fundraise, attract NILs based on their names and make sure they have a solid support staff

I thought it was the results of lobbying from coaches and programs. They wanted to cut the transfer portal window in half to 30 days, but the NCAA settled on 45. Probably to strike a balance between opportunities for athletes and helping coaches to get a handle on planning and managing a roster and recruiting.

Whatever happened to Khuzin anyway? He fell off the map before the last forum died. Coach J should send him a link to this message board

The title of this made me LOL. Nice job, Jimmy. I see you've been working on your trolling in the offseason.

Glad to see his recovery progressing. 41 days in the hospital is a hell of a stretch. Tough kid. Sammy Sasso > Sammy Sosa

Many many years ago on the old forum someone mentioned that winning a Junior World title is a reliable predictor of success in NCAA wrestling. SHP? JB? Nomad? I can't remember who said it but is has held up pretty well.

Oh.

Maybe he's on the Ryan Deakin weight plan. It is pretty crazy how he made the cut after registering at 61kg less than a week out.

I thought Oliver or Dake went through the last chance one year and made the national team, but wasn't our rep. But my memory is hazy.

Doesn't anyone on the coaching staff have a basement??

I'd like to see Spencer compete if he's actually ready to go. I mean he has to have learned his lesson by now about taking the time to fully rehab. Better to hold off until Dec or the last chance qualifier next spring if he isn't back up to speed now. We could even see an interesting rematch with Matt Ramos if he doesn't win NCAAs this coming season. Unrelated: who has won OTT or WTT trials in the past, having qualified through the last chance tournament?

What was the story?

Gable had some pretty good pickings in Iowa, plus he was able to develop raw talent like no other.

Did his ORS from the cancelled season/posponed Olympics year get nullified because of the Covid?

What was the Russian AIN team score? Sorry if I missed it earlier...

So... don't follow the law unless you know someone's watching? Btw, this already happens today. People get tickets in the mail, after the fact, from traffic light cameras (running red lights), aircraft radar (speeding), transponders (toll gates and lanes), and other stuff. Is bluroptimo saying people who get caught should be let off the hook because they didn't know they were being monitored?

YM: "boneheaded." I wanted to see Nelson compete this year but the thing that rubbed me the wrong way was how he Tweeted all that stuff and made it sound like he was the poor helpless victim when we all know that as a family member of the coaches and someone who has been around college wrestling for pretty much all his life, he should have known better. When he said he skipped the compliance meeting, what was he implying? That he should be exempt from the rules? He knew full well that he has the advantage of his connections, being beloved by fans, and relative of a couple of Iowa's all-time greats and thought he could garner everyone's sympathy and rally support to get the decision overturned. Instead he embarrassed himself and the program, which makes me mad.
