oldschool

All ivy league colleges share a no-merit-based scholarship policy. e.g., only needs-based. So no sports scholarships which is one reason they're not usually as competitive in sports. (unless something has changed in the past 15 years since I was there) Flipping aside, I think it's great that Taylor's able to bring so much great talent to OK State. Maybe with a few more years of these caliber recruiting classes, we'll see the PSU dominance start to level out?

this interview def makes it seem like he's going and excited to wrestle sadulaev

Hope he has a full recovery and we see him on the mat again soon. It was tough to see him injured in the olympic finals this year – you could tell he really didn't want to quit.

Looking forward to watching the replays of Blades vs Gross and Blades vs Fix. They're both missing from Flo at the moment.

SNYDER WITH THE PIN

nah he must've hit em where it really hurt.. went for his cigs

this musukaev vs aliyev match is entertaining af btw. mus never disappoints

they're very different circumstances. in 2016, taylor had lost the position to cox so he had a reason to be mad at cox's performance. whereas your made up beef between taylor and zain doesn't make any sense here anyhow, I agree I would've wanted to see more action from zain, but to say that he didn't try is way off base. amouzad's an excellent wrestler show just shut zain down.

taylor didn't say anything about zain. not sure what that poster is smoking edit: removed the link to taylor's twitter profile. didn't realize this platform embeds *his whole* profile & tweets lol

Azirpira vs Taz up on Mat C. Should be the olympic finals. something something UWW seeding bahhhh

Zain loses 0-8. Great showing by Amouzad. I really don't understand Zain's gameplan there. He spent 95% of the match pushing Amouzad away and not tying up. Looked like he was worried about Amouzad's underhook, but Zain's a scrappy handfighter. He didn't put himself into a position where he could take a single committed shot the entire match. That's partly due to Amouzad's great positioning, but what I found puzzling was why Zain would try to remain at arm's length that entire match. He kept pushing off and keeping his distance.

Blades' opponent looks like she might be seriously injured. Bringing out a stretcher. Hope her neck and spine are okay.

Snyder showing why he's a champion working his way back from a seemingly deep 0-4 at the break. Now up 8-4 w/ a minute left

Snyder down 0-4

WHOA Snyder just got tossed looks like feet-to-back. Incorrect score imo and challenge will get it sorted

Blades making quick work; gotta switch over to multiview for Snyder

Let's go Kennedy Blades!!

anyone wanna take a guess at which version of Musukaev we see today? 0 packs of cigs? 1 pack of cigs? 2 packs of cigs? constant chain smoking

Kadi vs Valiev up on Mat A next should be a good one

https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/12770603-mens-freestyle-wrestling-team-standings-at-the-2024-olympics For MFS, Japan is currently #1.

Yesterday didn't exactly go as we all wanted, but we still got plenty of wrestling left Kicking us off today is Zain Retherford at 65kg, Kyle Snyder at 97kg, and Kennedy Blades at WFS 76kg. First match on Mat A Kadi vs Salkazanov should be a good one!

Mat B has had commentary but mats A and C haven't, at least on Peacock. It's a lot more fun to watch the replays w/ JB's commentary.
