Free or Folk?

Every year it seems someone starts a thread during the D1 offseason and FS season about posters preferred style. So this offseason its been voted on that I should take a stab at it and see where everyone currently sits. its also raining so I have some time on my hands before leaving for the day.

As you probably could predict Im all over the map with this.

1) I prefer to wrestle folk. Always did. But I think that is because in 80/90s youth wrestling didnt see the push or the glamor of FS/GR. Used to go to Russ Houk's training at BloomU with a group of kids. But it just never caught on for us/me.
2) I prefer to watch Americans in FS to run of the mill folk including D1 teams. But I do enjoy watching Russians lose, anywhere, anytime. Rocky IV/Red Dawn influenced, I think
3) PA or rather PSU wrestlers, alums and/or recruits influence my viewing of anything including FS. Stud D1 wrestlers too.
4) I would rather watch a high level FS tournament vs Beast of the east/iron man/etc finals unless #3
5) I enjoy watching 10 sec clips of GR scoring, but otherwise just not entertaining enough to keep my wandering attention.

I like the push out. I like the shot clock. Hate my lack of understanding of scoring. Towel wipe downs are understandable but odd. Want full wrestlebacks, not that thing nobody pronounces correctly. If 10-0 following trap arm/leg lace, should be stood up and made to score one more time.

Ok thats where I am at.

Its Great to be a Penn State FS Viewer!

We Are!

Yankees will face Trevor Bauer this week

as he pitches an exhibition game for a Mexican team facing the Yankees.

For anyone not paying attention, Bauer was accused by a woman of sexual abuse and assault three years ago and was kicked off the Dodgers and out of MLB. he eventually beat her in court (they settled with no money changing hands) and the LA prosecutor decided not to file criminal charges. Bauer is a loon who has gotten into trouble a lot of times but all were much less than these assault charges. Even though, no MBL team seems to want to take a chance on him. Oh, he also was one of the best pitchers in Japan last year. In 19 games for Yokohama, he registered a 10–4 record and 2.76 ERA with 130 strikeouts.

Should be fun to watch.
