JB's commentary on the cold spray is legendary

I think he did. he took his shoes off much faster, said a prayer, stood up and backed up a few steps giving Akgul center mat. At the end of the day its Lazarev's moment too; he shouldn't have to sacrifice his oppertunity to end his career on his own terms

Zhamalov’s run just doesnt pass the smell test. sus af

Enjoy this fellas; i truly believe this is Dake's last match.

Looks like Izzy brought his own gold medal!

looked like he was sucking air pretty hard after the break, but overall our gas tanks seemed to be more shallow than what ive been used to seeing us against the world

the mens team's conditioning is trash

Gable was awesome with his down blocking, running the hip, re attack were insane. His offense was would class eltie. Its the most frustrating thing about Gable is we will never know how high ceiling was going to be. What if he committed to his nutrition and training?

In short i agree with you. I would love to think a Gable loss here would motivate him to go absolutely all in with his training and make some adjustments, but ultimately I dont think he would be able to match Zare's toughness.

Zare and Gable would have been storied rivalry. What fun that could have been us fans.

tons of credit to Japan for having great tactics. They obviously knew they could get to the low single, and then defended the chest wrap fantastically.

He looked like he wanted to wrestle a folkstyle match. He gassed himself with all of those straight on shot attempts. When are we going to learn that shot volume doesn't mean shit at this level and controlling center is everything? Our young buck's inexperience is really showing this week.

I'm home on workman's comp after tearing my calf the second to last practice of the year so i didn't have to justify taking off work to the wife this year!

I have many times. He has been the official during many lower level events I've coached in the past. I have also had extended conversations with him while he was recording matches at the state tournament. I cant even begin to explain how filthy i feel knowing i was standing next to this animal as he had his camera rolling. Like most monsters in the world i never suspected a thing and was actually grateful we had somebody in the community recording and uploading so much footage. he was an (awful) IHSA ref for a few years. I never saw him work anything higher than freshmen or jv. I do remember he was pretty bad and did not have a great handle on the rules. In fact, i knew if i took him to the table to ask for clarification of a call he would falter pretty badly.

The freshmen coach when I entered high school was named Matt Fish. I razzed him relentlessly about it before I was moved up to varsity practice a few weeks into the season.
