  1. This has been the claim from time immemorial -- and it has not yet happened.
  2. Williams from Little Rock is good
  3. We need a step out rule. Too many athletes back up to the edge, and in some cases even crawl out of bounds. A step out rule would clean that all up.
  4. There's no reason to not improve folkstyle if it can be improved -- but the question will always be, what reforms would be an improvement?
  5. I enjoy watching freestyle more, yes. Of course, in the 00s it was much worse for fans to watch. Freestyle’s willingness to change the rules so it’s more fan friendly was huge.
  6. Shorter season. Too many athletes are visibly injured. A fix would be a shorter season — which would allow a longer period of less intense training. Step out. Too many athletes are wrestling at the edge. Tiebreakers. It’s not quite as fun to watch when both guys cruise to OT. Stand ups after one minute of riding time. Nobody needs to see more than one minute of that.
  7. What quarterfinals matches are people most looking forward to?
  8. 133- Rini (21) has Romney (4) next 157- Chumbley (20) has Fish (12) next 174- Wolak (24) has KOT (1) next 197- Sollars (24) has Cardenas (1) next 197- Shumate (23) has Buchanan (2) next
  9. Penn State with ten in the quarters. Wow.
  10. Allred pins Berge when he was down 1-4 in the third.
  11. I have never seen that big plastic microphone system like the one they have right off the mat. And that's good because it would look weird in public.
  12. Great action so far. Kudos to all the athletes
  13. Stanford's Norman is huge for 174
  14. That match was fun to watch.
  15. At 157, Chumbley (20) in the quarters.
  16. Indiana's Rini (21 seed) into the quarters.
  17. No Cinderellas at 125. All quarterfinalists were seeded 12 or higher.
  18. Moran's high school coach may be coaching against him right now
  19. Robinson is clutch
  20. Figueroa and Smith both upset at 125
  21. The action starts tomorrow (3/20) at noon ET.
  22. Of the three timers who got second once, how many lost their title match on a referee’s decision? Hutton and Kemp and anyone else?
  23. My opinion is that wrestlers today are better than wrestlers from the past in part because technique has evolved (which is in part due to the internet). So it’s apples and oranges where today’s wrestlers have an advantage. If you could teleport all heavies to today, I think Steveson beats them all without much trouble, except perhaps Neal might give him trouble.
  24. Best four timer- Cael Best three timer- Snyder (Steveson soon?) Best two-timer- Smith Best one-timer- Bruce
