Also an Unsubstantiated rumor that some will get the medal of freedom.

I don’t recall which poster(s) but I had an argument with the psu faithful about this………. Early this season. Their position was that the tomato cans psu has scheduled in the early season are both good for the fans and the sport. I may have included a joke that the same guy scheduling the tomato cans for Bo nikal made their non conference schedule.

But. On the men’s team, Was Spencer the closest to a gold medal?

It’s been that way forever no? Reality is a huge % of your avg hwt marches are sumo pushing contests. The high level people are insanely talented and athletic but the Nth percentile are just big dudes. Being big isn’t exciting. Exciting is exciting. The excitement for the 1-1 overtime matches takes its toll on fans over the years and yes they leave. I’ve seen at big state tourneys people not really staying for the hwt matches. It is what it is bro. Sad yes. real as well? yes….. -

The ufc sells fights. If they could stack “more” quality fights by adding a weight they would. It would either lead to more frequent ppv (more $) or more ppv sales (more $). With injuries and just bla fights making their ppv better or more frequent is their sweet spot. Why they don’t have a tweener weight should be a major tell as to why it won’t add to the growth of our sport. -
What percentage of the American population is Indian on a reservation. I read there are approx 2% of the total us population are Indian and 13% are on reservations. At 330m (estimate) total population that’s 850k total people. Some. More than 0 have an ID. We want this to be the only main reason for no voter id ? I already showed you a vid of the African American population calling bs on them not being able to get id.

Why does the ufc or professional boxing not need a 220 ish weight. They literally print $$$$ based on weight classes. Arguably (financially) fan interest is more important too….. ufc goes 170, 185, 205, 265 boxing goes 175, 200, unlimited. -
Brooks. If I’m hearing your advice should have wrestled more freely in the semis. Maybe he would have been closer to gold. Given it was his first senior world level tournament and he had yet to senior level medal ever. That in theory was the literal biggest match of his life. Well there is always next time. Keep your head up just don’t pray for Mohammad.

Serious rumor I heard on another professional wrestling message board. The ioc is considering a massive overhaul to the wrestling rules. After the rule change this is what it would look like at 86kg gold. The Bulgarian Share of gold and silver brooks. He gets the share cause Cael coached him and he would win the rematch. Sheesh we all know this. bronze: dauletbekov. He only lost by one point in the r16 against brooks. 4-3. other bronze*****: yazdani. But with an asterisk that he lost to Taylor in the past. Some consideration to giving Taylor the bronze here. This rule is still being evaluated. We all know he would have done better at the ott if he trained harder. Also Carl. replchange is cancelled because we’re going to just use the scores of a few matches now. On the + side. There will be less matches so now we will get an extra weight in both men’s Greco and women’s freestyle. Cons the new ioc logo is a psu logo.

I just saw a video on TikTok. It was a joke / spoof video but it portrayed Phil helmuth playing a poker hand against Phil helmuth. One Phil has 45 of hearts. Other Phil has 79 of hearts. Well the board ends up 3 T 6 2 8. All hearts. Naturally they get all their chips in the pot. They proceed to blow up and argue with one another. It’s hilarious. the video reminded me of you.

I didn’t define it would be good or bad … I.e. matchups. I said it would end up being a wash. With that said. Unfortunately ADs matter. If let’s say I had to increase the budget by ~10% more per school including travel etc…. Would that help or hurt some of the not Michigan Iowa psu osu nebby and okla st? Fringe programs would fold I fear. -
Peace out brother. Imma go get some pizza. Have a nice weekend.

You psu homers are delusional. Yazdani took what 6 major injury timeouts in that match? It’s all the announcers talk about. All 6 of his major points were one scoring sequence after one of these major injury timeouts after a passivity…. For being injured. Your golf analogy doesn’t apply to this. It doesn’t apply to people in the same wrestling bracket let alone two wrestlers at diff weights in diff brackets. the match https://youtu.be/iYe0VFhhoA0?si=SGvVJepxipFLOhFW

These people wrestled the same dudes on the same course on the same day in the same bracket? This isn’t golf and that didn’t happen here. Gold > silver > two damn bronzes or a tie for third on a golf leader board

I do not. Why do you ask? seriously though. How does it not come out in a mathematical wash though? A slightly heavier dude is just taking a slightly lighter dudes spot. Would this lead to more d1 programs? Doubtful. Worse for ADs…. Let’s say add an 11th weight…. Now costs go up and that can’t be good. -
It’s completely relevant. He may have finished in 4th place if we didn’t have the stupid 2 third/bronze medals. You are just wrong. The record books show: Lee silver Kurugliev/brooks bronze The other fact I see here You wouldn’t bother to comment if it wasn’t psu/Iowa hatred related.
-
Such a psu blue glasses answer. He didn’t even win true third….. and we don’t even know if he would beat the Greek. Sounds like pure jealousy or anti Iowa hatred tbh.

Honestly. Zero. schools wouldn’t be adding wrestling programs if they had a tweener weight. There wouldn’t be more roster spots. Maybe heavier guy now displaces natural 197lb wrestler but that would just be a roster spot swap. D1 wrestling isn’t growing is it? -
I made a comment in another thread. Similar (imo) to your comment. I said something like psu / Cael is responsible for the modern normalization of ducking. Not that this is “ducking ducking” but it is a form of it. Reducing any fan based dependency on big Xmas tourneys …. Or killing the national duals….. or conference default shenanigans….. or legit ducking. I think Carl started the Trend and it is making the fan aspect for this sport worse. is the ncaa tourney my Super Bowl. Yes. It’s amazing. It’s the best weekend of the year. Is the decline of midlands scuffle cklv and the national duals sh$tty. Yes it is. It is sh$itty. are psu fans gonna say. Bla bla shut it he’s great and king. Yes they are. Is that good for the sport. I’m not sure it is. Someone (psu fan) argued scheduling rando schools at the legit bottom of the division 1 tree are good for the sport because their 3 fans appreciate it. That is a problem.

Any talk of skipping 8th grade to get better and play video games all day…. To retake 8th grade again…. Then go to psu. whatever man.

So who’s running the country and the intel agencies. Where is your boy Joe Biden. Or ms Kamala? They don’t seem to have a peep about this or the other one.
