lehigh out coaches tOSU. thats with 1 second of thinking.

ok so as long as you are pointing out that his value to the program might have been predicated more on being good at wrestling than moral virtue (beyond the virtues required to be good at wrestling as an individual) i'm ok.

Have you not heard about the criminal level stuff?

It doesn't negate uncle bernards point about the fact that the system that appointed biden assumed Harris would replace him...but this is so true. He literally picked the grossest most incompetent person he could so he would have a shot at a second term.

well one difference is that Biden was elected. Literally no one has voted for the camel of cringe for anything in years.

he's being hidden now, he's not president.

hum....not a strong hire.

they can't coach

A loose conglomeration of bureaucrats with no set rules to direct their cowardly instincts.

not trying to be rude, but who is Herb House?

Joe "thinks" she's gonna be great, party is aligned behind her...why not plug in this titan right now?

I think presuming that anyone cares to watch him widdle away at 80 college programs one by one, when he definitely has it down to 5, is narcissistic. I'm not trying to expand that into a wide ranging character attack, I'm just saying he is indulging in a behavior indicative of a character flaw.

I don't mean this statement to be a rebuke of any specific post, but waging narcissistic social media campaigns is worthy of criticism, even if you are 17.

funnily enough i don't think he is in the social sense.

well i don't think I implied that your case was based on one match but ok. Interesting thought, the second time they wrestled yazdani went out hard against taylor, because he thought he could scramble with him, and punched himself out in scrambles which made him break mentally...but I don't think brooks is nearly the scrambler taylor is. Yaz might take him in those positions. I guess thats why its a good match, there are a lot of different ways it could go.

pretending to laugh as a show of fake confidence makes it look like you post to serve your ego and not your knowledge.

So...we haven't heard anything about the recruiting process sense he got a look at northern colorado? Whatever the word i among college coaches about Ferrari, it must be pretty bad. Meaning if the criminal allegations were flimsy or frivolous, you'd think more than one program would have given him a shot.

It would be hard not to have come down with HEW, taylor didn't start winning right out of college or before like burroughs or smith, it took him 5 years to make a team. If there aren't financial incentives, and if this wasn't a shortened cycle (2021-2024) its no surprise if he retires. Also makes the 4 year age difference between him and yaz big. That said....motivation is a talent too.

the real confound for me with brooks is that I just didn't at all anticipate how well he'd handle taylor, makes me think taylor was hurt or more messed up than her let on after getting dropped on his head in the first match. I disagree that Yazdani is going to have worry about being countered more than respecting the attacks brooks is gonna initiate himself. His stance makes him really really hard to get to, and he can attack from it because he is really good at backstepping into everything, but its hard to make that work if you aren't pulling at the same time, which he probably wouldn't be Yazdani was initiating. hope that makes sense.

yeah thats a much better comparison. I think askren was a better folk wrestler than pendleton despite probably having a similar record against him to taylor/yazdani.

well, they're not smart like us then.

Compared to Hidlay Brooks is an insanely dynamic wrestler. I don't think anyone was surprised hidlay got teched, he's essentially just a worse version of yazdani. I'm gonna be fascinated to see if Brook gets pushed around. His stance with his legs out like tent poles and his hips like a kilometer back, might be able to slow things down enough for him to try and make yazdani tired. If he can't hold his ground he's gonna have to shoot to stay in the match, logan stieber style, in which case he's gonna have to avoid getting stuck underneath to avoid the time suck. If he can't hold his ground, and has to compensate by spending 90 seconds in a front headlock, Yazdani ain't gonna get tired.

thats a little generous to Taylor I tihnk, I'd just stuck with the 5-1 and 2 pins. I don't disagree with your perspective, but at a certain point the creds have to take over the head to head. If Yazdani wins out through 2028 (we're down the rabbit hole), and is a 9 time champ with 3 olmpics, taylor becomes a trivia question. That said I agree its not that case with one more title. Remember the Nebaska guy who used to kick Rosholts butt? pinned him even. And never found him at nationals? That comparison doesn't quite hold because taylor and yazdani aren't getting beat by randos...

That worlds sucked, all I remember is metcalf getting doubled and varner getting pushed around like he didn't know what an underhook was.

I'm doing it on purpose because I think its farcical that she is the vice president.
