No. 3rd place makes the Olympic Team. Burroughs is off Team USA until at least 2024 World Team Trials.Say Messenbrink wins for third…wouldn't Dake or Nolf be 1 and 2 then Burrows be third in line for the Olympic spot if it somehow came to that?
Medical forfeit for hurt feelings?JB is out. Didn’t weigh in. It’s MM/Jacques for 3rd
I’ll never forget that one either! A lot of guys can hit moves like that on lower level competition but Mark was so technically accurate he could hit that on a high level guy.I'll never forget the one he hit at the Scuffle he hit against Preisch, total beast move.
This is one tourney I don’t care about anyone not wrestling back. The dream was Olympics not 3rdMedical forfeit for hurt feelings?
Or overtime until it's over, it would be like the Nfl having rule with a td with most yards wins on a tie. It's just un-American.I don't hate it but IMO it would be not as good as the current system.
Criteria is not about the outcome -- it's about the process. After the first point of the match, somebody is winning at all times, and therefore there is no incentive for both guys to mail it in in the 2nd period.
We've seen plenty of matches at B10s, NCAAs, and states where both guys shut down in the last 30-60 minutes of regulation. This system prevents that.
The other issues are: (1) if no scoring in OT, then we just use regulation criteria anyway; (2) It de-emphasizes conditioning -- a gassed wrestler could extend a tie into OT, get a massive break, and then get a quick winning score off the OT whistle.
they also get a stipend. I don’t know if Blaze or Forrest would be allowed to accept it as high schoolers but the national team members get something to support them while they trainThey also get to participate in all team activities such as Colorado Springs training and the trip to the Olympics (including any acclimation stopover).
He looked a little gimpy. My 2 cents..go old school Nolf and let it rip and see what happensMan, what can Nolf do? He didn't come close to scoring. Dake's defense is other worldly.
pardon my ignorance but what is Dake going thru?Dake looked really good considering what he is going through.

OT until it's over = the 26-minute Suriano-Fix match.Or overtime until it's over, it would be like the Nfl having rule with a td with most yards wins on a tie. It's just un-American.

Maybe he applies for the Columbia job , they’d be lucky replace Tanelli with hallSo proud of Mark. He is a credit to anyone he associates himself with. Glad it was us for 4 years.
On to bigger and better things.
Oh. Damn. Sorry to hear that.His dad died this past week
I think he'd benefit from at least one more year at Penn. He'll no longer have to split his time with training, and his responsibilities will increase with Reina retiring.Maybe he applies for the Columbia job , they’d be lucky replace Tanelli with hall
No, you don’t seem to understand. At no point in the history of competitive athletics has any superstar ever been booed before. Never have Tom Brady, Sidney Crosby, or LeBron James suffered this type of indignity. Last night at BJC was the first ever recorded incident of booing an athlete.I still can't get over the crybabies who are saying that no more big events should be at BJC because somebody booed Burroughs. It makes me wonder if these people have ever watched sports or ever been to a live event.
