  1. When framed as how the AD might view the program I don’t see many problems for the Brands. On the other hand, Goetz has a history of banging heads with wrestling coaches - she was J Robinson’s nemesis at MN. Of course that may say as much about J Rob as it does about Goetz. I don’t think team performance will be the issue that sinks the Brands, it will be stuff like the gambling infractions and the Ferrari debacle.
  2. Pinnacle with a bunch of AAs too
  3. Unless you’re the ref trying to score that weirdness. This ref had enough and when Andonian’s shoulders grazed the mat he called history’s fastest pin to put an end to that madness.
  4. I would love to see a histogram of the age distribution of the wrestlers at the tourney.
  5. What time are weigh ins? Will anybody miss their big moment?
  6. Ha, I’ve been wondering the same thing! I’m guessing that it started as Shane being Shane but I’m sure Resilite loves it.
  7. Wow, Gophers with a number of short time victories to quiet the crowd and win the match. Fun to see Wells take it from Shawver who has had McKee’s number for years.
  8. Wow, some rose-colored glasses for the Goldman era! Indiana was the doormat of the B1G for many years under Goldman.
  9. NIL $$$ isn't just cherry-picking wrestlers off our favorite teams rosters, it is taking money out of AD's pockets. I have to believe that a lot - probably the large majority - of NIL funds would otherwise have been contributed school's athletic programs. Which means it is putting ADs in a bind. More so than coaches ADs have fund raising responsibilities defined in their contracts. Suddenly Bubba the longtime and reliable contributor to meeting an AD's fund raising goal can spend his money directly, sprinkling it about to choose players like a fantasy football team owner. Bubba gets to wield his influence directly with his favorite team/player without having to go through the AD. The AD is seeing his fund raising goals become harder to meet and getting called on the carpet by the Regents. I'm thinking that this is where the pushback to the NIL/Portal chaos is going to come from. ADs will put the heat on the conferences which will bring the heat back to the NCAA. As much as the NCAA is taking a hands-off stance to NIL you better believe that they want their cut of that $$$, so you know that they have been scheming in Indianapolis. I don't know what form it wil take but we will see the powers that be act to maintain that power soon.
  10. Illegal move - body slam - against MD kid who couldn’t continue.
  11. This ref is calling GR push outs
