Agreed.........but.......... it is remarkable it wasn't done FAR earlier by others.imo

hmmmmm......... Wade Schalles imo

so maybe Deakin is hanging around Burrough's too?

I am in the .......... "let me see how it works out" category. I will attend 2020 but if it sucks in that big of a venue (I'm inclined to think it will) then I won't go to future events held in that large of venue.

I don't have to "guess" I KNOW top club coaches can make MUCH more.

ANYONE who watched Spencer during the year and couldn't see he was having issues of some sort simply don't know the sport. It was obvious he was struggling. He was gassing early in the second round and the last thing you expected to see was him gassing at all. Let alone that early in matches. Put your bias away and enjoy this guy, he is fun to watch. I go to the NCAA's every year I don't really root for or against anyone. I simply enjoy some great wrestling and when healthy, Lee is special.

Indeed............. congrats to Bo......... who by the way is the wrestler Wade Schalles thinks wrestles the most like himself. Heard him say that at the tourney to someone that asked.

I love Nolf as a wrestler............ BUT even he knows he lost that semi match. Life can be strange at times.

Well.... me and my bride begin our trek to "the burgh" this morning......... it's a nice day here in Southeast Alaska so we know we are "getting out" and not stuck HOPING to get out tomorrow.

Jason I don't think tournament scoring is hard for those wanting to actually do the work............. it's just that ............ it's work. And that, to me, is the problem. It shouldn't be work. If you try to keep up with scoring yourself........... you are going to miss a bunch of action while you are keeping track of it all.

I like some form of this idea. BUT we need to get pins to have more value. It's hard to pin and takes a lot of work. Pins used to have much more value in duals. a decision was 3 pts. pins were 6 pts. as they put in majors and tech's it made it, not worth the effort to gain just one point more than tech's. Pins should have been given more value. If tech could garner 21, as stated above, lets make pins worth 26 or somewhere in that range. This to make it worth it to work for the pin. Which is supposed to be the goal. If you don't believe me......ask Wade Schalles......... or Nolf or Nikal for that matter.

Washington has had pre-slotted brackets for 50 years. Region champs all separated in quarter brackets and so on down the line. When I coached in Idaho they seeded the brackets and kids got screwed by one side of the state having almost all the seeders. When I bitched they changed it somewhat but still had more from the east side. I had a kid with 2 head to head wins against a kid and got seeded lower because the east side coaches all voted for the kid from the east. At least with pre-slotted brackets you take chicken chit crap like that away. The problem with pre-slotted brackets is sometimes you get the actual #1 and #2 guys meeting in the semis. But even then you most often still get two top tier guys in the finals.

a few years ago George Mason hosted the All-Star meet. They did an excellent job. Props to their improving program!

the love story part is pretty small part of the book....... LOTS of twists and turns.

lite weight...... lol
