Seems like training has come a long way. Most athletes/programs have really figured out periodization in their training. Unfortunately that usually means less competing, but they always look fresh and in shape when they do compete. Clean livin' goes a long way too. Some guys are just tank freaks too! LOL.

Yes, the point is definitely lost on me. I'm bored now. Thanks for being Pavlov's dog for a little while. **waves and smiles**

You answer me every time I quote you, so I must not be too bad. **raises an eyebrow**

You most likely have the most posts in this thread..."Hi kettle, I'm pot. Nice to meet you. By the way, I admire your stamina."

Says the guy who has 4500 more posts than jross. LOL.

The Olympic 97 weight would be awesome though. J'Den is an excellent vocalist.

14 pages and their are probably a dozen people who actually know what happened and none are on this forum. I am personally mad because we all waited so long to see Cox and Snyder go at it and now that is not happening. If the Twitter guy is right. 10-15 minutes late is going to be a tough argument. It's not like you can say the weigh in officials watch was fast.

I have to go with Gable, if for no other reason, because Paris knew he was coming and trying to get the major and still couldn't stop it. Gable was basically saying here I come, good luck. A man that size shouldn't be able to wrestle like that. He looks like a lightweight.

I not only grew up...then I got old...that really sucks.

He probably is. He is just down a weight so he can't be a returning champion at his weight.

Mizzou has gone with the less is more philosophy recently. Only backups and redshirts typically compete in opens and they no longer go to a big midseason tourney (Scuffle, Midlands). They do go to the dual event in Florida, but even this event is in keeping with their strategy. They can use backups when needed and the 6 or 7 match wrestleback grinder isn't in play. Overall, they wrestle mostly a dual schedule within the MAC with some tough out of conference opponents mixed in. Is it working? Hard to say. They have been successful for a pretty long time now, so results are up to interpretation. As a fan, I loved seeing how they matched up in the big midseason events, but it's hard to question Brian Smith's judgment at this point. Dude has proven he might have a clue.

I was thinking "Sidewalk Slam", but yes the "Rock Bottom" is more appropriate.

My Cox point is probably not a great one. Smith has known him for so long it's hard to imagine J'den not wanting them to use it. I guess a better way to say it is I would have a hard time seeing most of our top flight guys who are now at different RTC"s (Cox, Snyder, JO) getting bent because their college used some old footage of them to tell the story of a dual that happened while they were there. Just Gilman. But as I said in my post, I think it's by design. He seems to thrive on the controversy.

Yep, much ado about nothing. Gilman loves playing the heel. Think of it as marketing people. As long as his name is in your mouth, mission accomplished. Honestly, think about how badly people are gonna want to see him and Spencer go at it. As an aside, I have no problem with Iowa using this. It's an interesting tidbit about a dual involving the college team and Gilman, not the RTC. It only seems a bit wierd because of how his departure went down and where he went. Would anyone have a problem with Mizzou using an interview or footage of J'den Cox to promote their team.
