165 Gets Even More Amazing

[El-Jefe]

Oh, it is being discussed-just not in public. It's hard to describe. Those who might have access to the info easily don't want to have it, because if something gets blabbed the coaches don't want talked about, access will go away.

And I can just keep up with one travel/rumor thread at a time .

So where do Oklahomans look to go on vacation?

While I wish it was more active year-round, I think it is a combination of things that make it slower. We have a smaller, probably older (older than me even) fan base than BWI and HR do. While we like to have fun, we do it more in person than on-line, so the "banter" doesn't flow as freely. Some of us old guys get insulted easy (obviously not me) and take it too personally, so that kind of stuff is left off the board, or sometimes deleted.

That's why I enjoy coming here and HR, because all in all, in the end we are mostly wrestling fans. Hard times, yes, hard feelings, usually not.

What is "older" to you?

Re. Marsteller...
Including wins over Palacio and Ramos!!

All's been covered here; stamina issues at 157, distractions, bad decisions, commitment, etc.

If all of that stuff is behind him (hearing good things about where he's at right now), I'm of the opinion he will make noise at 165. As someone else said, time will tell. He surely has the tools.

John Smith talked about this in an interview. He said one reason he put Chance at 157 was that he had never cut before and he had to learn it.

Watch out, Cowboy. It's a trap.

Just trying to figure out if I'm there yet . Close to retirement, Mrs. Roar keeps reminding me she married an older man, got a Seniors discount at the Betsy Ross House last year while at the Keystone Classic, and I'm lumped in with the "blue hairs" at Rec Hall. Some days I feel it, others I don't...that's ok though, loving life!!

I am 56. It seems like most of our fans are in the post WW2 baby boomers. There are a few younger...but I think most on the board during the offseason are not young.

I don't consider myself old, until I look out my office window and see the teenyboppers walking by in their short shorts and yoga pants.

What are vacations? Something someone else has time for, I guess. Between the boys football, wrestling, baseball seasons I use up all of mine.

Nothing. When I hear anything like that conversation begin, I walk away. Not that I don't want to be in the know, just I don't want to be the one who talks about something when I shouldn't. Not my job to be breaking news source, leave that to Willie. Once it is in the open, then I will talk about it with everyone else.

Personally, IMO he looks more fit than I have seen in two years. The redshirt and move up theory makes no sense to me, as their would be no benefit. Chandler can't move up, so would leave one of them on the bench. Healthy Joe makes 57 without problems.

Fair enough. Thanks for all the input!

And then you consider yourself "dirty"
old.

Sadly concurred -- at least from people watching in Washington DC, aka Hollywood for Ugly People.

Don't forgot Louis Réard

 

[NYWRESTLER94]

I think an apology is in order. I forgot that he finished 5th. I may have been projecting 2016's DNP onto him. He is probably slightly more consistent than I gave him credit for. But, phew doggie. 65 will be a meat grinder.

He took 7th in 2016

nope, 2-2 as a fill in for Crutchmer at 174.

You're referring to Rodgers I thought he was talking about Smith. I need to do a better job reading
