they reduced the suspension not because of the circumstances (of a bottle in the fridge) but because the levels that were in his sample were so minute (that it suggested it was a an accident and not a consistent 'doping')

where did i 'advocate' for that? lol

you have no idea what you're talking about. MSU158 is spot on.

if you have problems converting time zones you have bigger problems than missing wrestling

I'd be shocked if Glory didn't move up to 133 fwiw

Allred competed well in the room w/ Schultz.

On the coaching front, i can't imagine a world where they allow 10 coaches from one school at ncaa's. i'd imagine the wrestling committee agrees on some cap for coaches at actual competitions

Great topic! I really like Lachlan McNeil. at Tech, with Andonian moving up, i'm told Henson at 149 out of the gate is in play. I wouldn't be surprised if one of Cardenas or Garvin goes right away for Stanford at 157. Ali Herrera at 165 at Oklahoma. Luka Wick - Cal Poly. But i'll tell ya who my most interesting guy is - Silas Allred at 197 for Nebraska. He's really tough. pinned Bastida this year. kinda caught him, and bastida gassed. but Allred is (to me) still really interesting

you said 'downward spiral' in previous post. 3rd, when your standard is 1st, isnt a downward spiral to me. but to be clear, i'm not just talking about your comment. there is a oft repeated narrative that OKST has gone belly up, which i just don't see as the case.

you said 'downward spiral' eyeroll

the state of Oklahoma is loaded with talent the next couple years. also, the 'OKST is struggling' is way overboard imo. they were 3rd last year, in the same position this year but lost multiple aa's to injury.

i promise i have no burners. lol. i just read it wrong. as far as cael giving a pitch to kerk on that trip, i don't doubt it. i'm just saying i wholly doubt that was his reason for going on the trip. as i said, he's been on several and he had guys on that team

idk what that durant thing means. legit, i don't know the reference.

gd it. touche. lmao.

yes. i definitely need a burner. if you know me, you know i'm scared to say how i feel under my own name.

sorry to mess up a great conspiracy, but Cael has been on several non-senior trips.

lol. well played. and i hope you're joking. b/c when did i 'believe the worst in tom brands' ?

or, alternatively, he went to coach Bo

i asked this earlier in the thread but... so you think a national duals format w/ a ncaa title slapped to it would make it wildly popular? second point (and maybe this is why i appear to be a prick and dismiss some things) A duals tournament for the NCAA title and an individual tournament a week or two later is never ever ever gonna happen. nor should it. don't suggest it. don't use it as an assumption or a starting point. it 100% is not going to happen. i'm not saying that because i don't want it to. i'm saying b/c it's not feasible (for a myriad of reasons). so i think anyone here proposing to have both needs to start with the 'when' question. i assume that you know my stance - i'm all for national duals at the right time.

can you tell me how it would do so?

that's not true.and there's 17 pages of such behind you to refute that. national duals existed for a gazillion years and never attracted the fanfare ncaa's does.

because wrestling leadership is stupid and won't do the sensible thing and have a season that has any semblance of sense. both National Duals and the individual NCAA tournament are never going to work during the same semester. nor should anyone try to force it upon them.

not sure. he probably got some sort of bonkers points for beating Cenzo. idk.

because proponents of duals are hoping for fluke and happenstance with once in a blue moon upsets. the same reason they vouch for it is the same reason it's an inferior arbiter or 'best'
