Some of the biggest recent advances in training science have been on the importance of rest and recovery. Training staffs are monitoring heart rates and sleep cycles. Coaches are in a tough spot balancing rest and recovery against active training. College athletes already have limitations on when and how much they can train and now training staffs are telling coaches the athletes need more rest and recovery. Top level wrestlers are probably considering both modern science and reducing wear and tear from live goes.

I can remember laughing at a “Stroh’s Gives Me The Schlitz!” Bumper sticker after their merger.

What the heck did Downey have around his ankles in that match?

Especially seeing what happened to Taylor earlier. I expect that JB had planned to play around some more to make it entertaining but after seeing Taylor go down decided to be much more conservative.

Well spoken young man. When I think of how often the posts on this forum, sent from the comfort of momma’s basement, with a cold beer and a bowl of chips alongside, make no sense at all - then I watch a young man still in his singlet and with the adrenaline pumping give a cogent interview, I can’t help but be impressed!

I can imagine Myles and Gable in a dark barroom, sipping their beers and shaking their heads to coulda, shoulda, woulda’s.

Did anyone else notice that Nickal had a cradle locked up with 20-30 seconds left? Then he seemed to just look around the arena and soak it all in for a bit rather than try to force Moore over for the pin. Seemed like a very human moment.

You’re talking about the guy who as a coach perfected the lung time out, dive out of bounds and drop to the legs ride. Not too proud to win any way he can.

Coaches shouldn’t be allowed to toss a brick for suspected hands to face.

DeSanta Won by dq after other guy got five stalls.

My wife was fascinated by him at B1G tourney

I’m a big Duece fan. There’s always a chance he’ll lock up for a big toss. Go big or go home!

From the “my how times have changed” department, Oklahoma State seems to be heel-less! Aside from noted Black Hat Johnny Hendricks, they have had an infamous tradition of lung time outers and dive out of bounders who hang on the edge, but this years squad seems pretty respectable.

Shakur Rasheed seems out of place as the #2 seed at 184 without much to back it up. Does anyone think that weight will be tweaked from the pre seeds? If you move Rasheed where do you put him?
