Derry is beautiful. Traveled there for work quite a few times over the years. Unfortunately, never had much time for sightseeing. But did get in some long runs and visited a few pubs.

Glendalough is really beautiful. Reminded me of Lord of the Rings before the movie version was made!
I couldn't believe the amount of beautiful women, it was like a whole city populated by models. Don't even get me started on black hair and blue eyes...
Or red hair and green eyes...
Easy, bro. I understand your sentiment, but that is a very dumb statement, even if you're not serious.
Why does Penn St have to be so good. It’s getting old. 😂😂

So looks like a few Iowa and Penn State relative matches left this afernoon:
Kennedy/Ramirez
Warner/Trumble
Dean/Harvey

Derry is the unknown gem of Ireland. And, although I'm Orange, I hate the fking British.
No.
No it's not.
Paraphrasing HR from a loooooong time in the past:
Penn State's dominance is good for the sport.
It's tough to have matchups when one team competes on the frontside and the other has most of their guys on the backside.
Just like Penn State, I peak in March when the lights are on.
In the biggest upset of the tourney, McKee lost a back draw match!

No. Not even close.
And it's arguably easier to be as dominant as Lee is as Cael was in the upper weights.
Best stallers in the land of plenty!
And even though Gable did lose to Owings, it's important to remember that Gable had the lead but went for the pin and got loose. Gable is, however you feel about Iowa, a total boss. He's still my #2 behind Cael.
That Uetake guy from Okie State was said to be amazing.
The fact you got in some long runs tells me you didn’t devote quite enough time to the pubs.

Cael, Hodge, Gable are the top three for me. Spencer is definitely top 10, arguably top 5, but he’s not supplanting any of my top 3.
That's been very evident every time Brooks has faced Romero this year. First in the PSU-tOSU dual meet in early Feb (probably the most egregious example). Then again at the B1G tourney. And now again at the NCAA tourney.
The tactic is Romero's best chance to win, but the refs allow it continue for far too long.
