A Nebraska guy calling PSU a hayseed school. That’s rich!A nice balanced article - almost like NPR or CNN - maybe I dislike Nebby more than Iowa. What is up with these hayseed schools?
Olympic Trials: Burroughs Falls in Challenge Final in Front of Classless PSU Crowd
The face of American wrestling for over a decade, Burroughs was booed, heckled and disrespected by a disgusting crowd at Rec Hall on the campus of Penn Statewww.cornnation.com
Already put the Jackwagon on ignore. He needs some rehabilitation.
Well, he had about 50 posts in this thread to convey his message.
That must have been Bobby Telford stopping by to recruit Forrest and Blaze.
As I've learned many times over the years, never say/text/email/tweet anything when your emotions are triggered. You'll always regret it.
I’m also devastated for David, and thrilled for AB. @Hotshoe - love this post, it really helps puts everything in perspective for me.
Typing with all caps. Making unsubstantiated claims.
Neither is it ever a good idea if any Budweisers are helping you think.
My guess is instead of rattling on about bullshyt he had time to organize his thoughts and present his thoughts in a manner that doesn't make him sound idiotic. His behavior post JB v Nolf made Manning appear calm, grown-up and complicated in thought.
he wasn't the first superstar ever booed and he won't be the last!tell us about that looney coach at nebby?
All weekend I wondered why the contestants and scores were not on the electronic ribbon. Two seasons from now during Saturday and Sunday of the Big10, championships that ribbon will have mat scores. Do not know if it was PSU or the USA wrestling committee, but communication with fans/audience was poor.
I agree about Marky's send-off. My son had to show me on social media that he left his shoes on the mat. We heard the applause, but they were down on Mat 4, we were by Mat 2, and by the time we saw what was going on, it was over. Wish he would have gotten a send-off like J'Den.
Yeah he was sitting on the edge of the mat in tears taking off his shoes and they were already announcing the next wrestlers on Mat 4. It was right out in front of us and everyone was on their feet at that end but you could tell that most of the arena was unaware.
Ha! Back around 2005 I found myself in a NYC court room answering questions about my e-mails . . . some of them 5 years old. Very unpleasant. I learned the Joe Friday rule: “Just the facts.”
I'd hate to be you. God love ya.
No. Bo is just that much bigger.
Funny post from an Ohio State fan after seeing Mirasola battle AB:
LOL hey buckeye fan its called thinking ahead,you better tell tom!!
I would be very curious to know what Yazdani's reaction was to the trial results. Anyone see any posts?
I was tweeting w/ that guy a little the other day. He says Yazdani is pretty reclusive--trains at home in his small town, etc. So, not sure.
In the first match Aaron put an undertook in and was jamming DT backwards and DT confidently went to clear his arm. The arm wouldn't come down through. To me that was the first sign DT was in trouble. The second sign was the look on his face as he looked to the corner walking back to center shortly after the first sign.
I saw this live and was pretty surprised by it. Always thought of Dom as sort of a d*ck after the comments versus AC. But he literally ran across the mat, hopped off the platform and caught up to Kerk and they walked and talked and Dom raised his hand. Pretty good show of class.
9 straight -- and would've been 12 straight if the field hadn't caught up to Max his SR year.
I'm not a big fan of women's wrestling, but Kennedy Blades definitely made me a fan of her. She's got the potential to be the transformational Jordan/Gretzky/Pele type superstar who personally changes a sport and brings a whole new audience to it. I'll make an effort to watch for her when the Olympics roll around.
She is very fun to watch. I also think she has the ability to add additional strength to her repertoire, making her that much more dangerous moving forward in her career.
Are you saying this because of her personality or the style she wrestles ? Bc the women she beat made 9 straight world teams (sat out a year to have twins) and won 10 medals .accomplishment wise it ll take a decade and some good health and luck for Blades to even match that. Gray is probably a top 5 American wrestler male or female ever and idk if she even moved the needle a little when it comes to being transformational
Transformational requires more than simple greatness. That thing we all refer to as the "it" factor. The Blades girl was entertaining as hell to watch.
My favorite part was her throwing up before she left the floor after her 1st of 2 finals.
