He’s still calling out jb in that tweet no?

He said ankle injury I think.

He still has time to drop out. Not sure why he bothers at 86 he had almost no chance at 74. Otoole and Carr just dropped out due to injury too.

Wonder if he has the tools to piss on anyone’s grave up a weight. What’s your vote on whose career will he end up at 86?

J jaggers in the ncaa final

he is a one time confirmed cheater, five-time Big 12 champion, a four-time NCAA runner-up, a U.S. Open champion, Pan Am and Pan Am Games champion, and UWW world silver medalist while part of the Cowboys. fix’ed it.

In big companies. Often for big promotions (like director to vp) they give you an interim title…. Like senior director or they keep your director title to see how you do before allowing the title promo???? Something like that maybe. Or it’s something nefarious and they don’t wanna commit to this.

The real question here is are Forrest or Basset ever going to be able to beat a chimpanzee in a fight like some former PSU wrestling standouts?

Rapinoe is an America hating tool bag. It has nothing to do with whose genitalia she likes to cozy up to.

If you fix the seeds. I.e medal winner #1. Make sure #1 has bye to semi… I.e no 8,9,16 seed. Aren’t the matchups in quarters the same as it is here ? Semis are flipped though but this doesn’t seem all that wrong.

Will people add Greco training to their arsenal to get better at push outs

So is the argument. Freestyle is a far superior product. But the viewership and attendance is lower for big tourneys cause of university loyalties? how would you explain mma going from nothing to better (financially) than boxing which used to be the ppv king?

From a Greco standpoint. What happens when the international people get their way and get a pushout in folkstyle. Will people partially train more in Greco for easier points?

A) If you can’t get past your girlfriend making homophobic jokes about this sport you shouldn’t have a vote on what the sport should look like going forward. B) what gets you close to true fighting? Riding to a fall / quasi submission / real domination. Or that flippy flippy stuff in freestyle. Someone earlier or in an other thread trying to tie wrestling mma success both in terms of getting a real base to move to the ufc and entertainment value. I counted the championship bracket in today’s ott qualifier. Tech falls / falls vs decisions. 75 tf/fall va 35 decisions. Almost 68.1% of the matches ended in some flippy leg lace situation. I’m an Iowa fan and I don’t remember Warner getting two tech falls in a row ever. Let alone two tech falls and scoring 8 points in his next match. You still didn’t look up the freestyle world championship us based tv viewership. Did they put it live on ESPN during march madness? Of course they didn’t cause it isn’t a product people want to watch in mass.

I would like you to show the message board the tv ratings of the senior men’s world freestyle championships vs the ncaa wrestling championships. Someone already posted the ncaa version.

I meant men’s. I also didn’t clarify so good / valid point. But if men’s high school numbers are shrinking over time it will decrease the people who are interested in watching mens ncaa folkstyle going forward. International viewer ship will slow first….. then folkstyle. Unfortunately. Gotta turn the trend around. I didn’t do the math. But what’s the decline over 10 years. 10/12% ish? That’s not insignificant.

I’m surprised sort of. I thought participation is growing. It is not. With the popularity of the ufc and guys like Joe Rogan saying wrestling is one of the if not the best base for mma that surprises me. I wonder if there are growing numbers (for wrestling) in mma/bjj gyms. I know they are popping up all over in my area. At least those numbers would not be tracked by the below link. My soap box. Please stop trying to turn the rules into freestyle. That will kill the sport domestically. (Imo). 4 point turns didn’t stop stalling. 3 point take downs didn’t. Changing rules on top to try for a pin didn’t. Mandatory (silly) 5 counts everyone exploits didn’t. Those convoluted going out of bounds rules didn’t. Just call stalling! And end 4 hour challenge bricks. https://www.statista.com/statistics/268028/participation-in-us-high-school-wrestling/

I don’t have facts. I hope you’re wrong from our sports perspective. If this trend keeps up. Our utopia of having all these matches televised may be over. Not having announcers on the mats is sort of not cool from an investment in this product standpoint. I don’t wanna argue re hash the fact that some of the posters hate any “announcer” that is put out there…… but in sales……. Going -28% YoY generally gets a bunch of people fired.

Also. Are those tv numbers accurate? Last year they were saying they don’t include the streaming services. Is this true?

0:37 second mark. Kamala gives us a history lesson and says women were not allowed the right to have brackets until 2022.

Some sarcasm in there. I’m not a fan of the fix / peds situation either. Clearly all parties involved are making up stories / lying etc. and you are right it’s not a good situation with young kids in the house. They likely knew it was going on too.

Kids? With 8th grade “grey shirts” being normal and condoned they are hardly kids this day and age.

I mean. Where would one get that data from. Do you really think these athletes study well enough in undergrad….. apply for a graduate degree…. Take the gre / gmat / lsat / or mcat. Attend classes etc and do all that work. Just for one more ncaa tournament? It’s not like PE majors goofing off man. Especially at high end schools like u of m. My assumption is closer to all of them vs none of them as an extreme.

Hasn’t it been surmised repeatedly that it’s nearly impossible to get into the grad programs at nw? on this board. In like 10 different threads? Transfers suck. Yes. The portal sucks. Yes. But grad transfers are way different than people leaving like sophomore or junior year cause they don’t like their situation.
