@Mike Zierath can you shut this thread down? Oh shit. Wrong forum.
Michael Beard to the transfer portal
- Thread starter McScoreley
- Start date
Come on down to Morgantown. Lets gooo
lol now being serious you would think he could almost damn near pick his school. Honestly on his feet I think he’s one of the top 3 197lbers. Some big10 team should pay this kid to come in. Or ASU could use him. Couple good acc teams could also use him. Also I don’t think standford has a stud 197 guy either.
like I said imo he’ll have his pick of almost anyone.

Bingo! Wharton + put it all on the mat for one year. Ten years from now he can look back on it all with a smile while looking out his office window at JPM.
Beard graduated from HS in 2018. He might not want to be still in college wrestling in 2024 and 2025.
Not everyone wants to go out on a stretcher like several of the old guys did this year.

Nice way to lump everyone together. That type of mass stereotyping is worse than one person’s rambling thoughts. I, for one, am one of your hated progressives and don’t think I have jammed anything anywhere🤔

1. The Rachel Maddow Show
2. All in with Chris Hayes
3. The ReidOut
4. Deadline: Whitehouse
5. Morning Joe
true but it could come back to bite them like I said shirt Brooks, Dean at 84 Beard at 97 problem solved but only if Brooks will shirt!I was hoping that Beard would be happy still starting for 2 yrs,well I guess not!
Wow, this simple response triggered a weird 2:08am drug induced political post.😂
If Brooks red shirts at all it would be most likely the following year to prepare for the 2024 Olympics.
That said, being a smallish 197 pounder is the perfect weight for an 86kg freestyle wrestler.
Yeah, all that is possible. Most of these scenarios though presume that Beard wants to wrestle 2-3 more years or that Brooks would want to come back and wrestle another 2 years after taking an Oly RS.
IMO, after observing how things went for many of the super Seniors this year, a lot of kids are going to think twice about wrestling Folk into their 6th or 7th year out of HS.
Either way, it's water under the bridge now. Beard has chosen to move on ... I wish him luck.
Please name any defending national champs who cut 13 lb the following year. We'll wait.
In his defense, this depends on Dean's walk-around weight. I mean, he was at 84 prior and he looked smallish at 97 to me. Not saying Dean should move to 84 again or anything like that.

Goeff Baum Oklahoma State from Allentown it was late 60s or early 70s!wrestled like 197 jr yr then went down one weight and won again!
just checked Baum won at 190 then at 177 the next yr thank you very much!!
I have to give you credit. You didn't keep el jefe waiting very long. But I'm not sure it counts since it was before wrestling was invented.
I showed my wife this post. She looked at me and said" I wonder what he was wearing when he posted"Despite your nom de plume, you are not my "boss" (leader or chief) and probably no one else's either. So why should I reply to your request when you can't or seemingly won't defend an idea and associated SCOTUS decision as absurd as Citizen's United, one which patently undermines democratic norms and processes. But if you are sincerely interested, here is one article that makes the case why SCOTUS made a terrible situation far worse:
10 Ways Citizens United Endangers Democracy | Demos
The Supreme Court got it supremely wrong when it held that corporations had the same rights as people to spend money in elections.www.demos.org
My points were related, but it is clear you are an authoritarian at heart (something signified by your "name".) Yes, Nomen est omen. You seem to live here on the forum for hours on end each day (for whatever reason) and speak as a self-appointed know-it-all about wrestling who prefers a (self-chosen) authorial voice . But one thing you clearly know little about is political philosophy and more particularly (and to the point) about how athletics has always been linked with political issues.
Yep. I don't see the 197lb champ dropping weight a full year later. If anything he has another year to lift and get stronger and becoming more dominant.
Oklahoma State. Wait, John Smith was coaching back in 60s and 70s?? 😳😱
It doesn’t fit your scenario perfectly, but I’d put Suriano in the realm of what you’re saying.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Where do left wing politics fit in? Are they open to discussion and challenging of beliefs? Are they closely related to rabid sports fans?
I love the "all studies show" remark.
Part of the reason we don't like to discuss these topics on a wrestling board is because usually 1/3 the participants are clueless, arrogant, and disrespectful.
LOL anyone wants to talk politics go to a diff board!!BS
With all due respect, I'm only arrogant and clueless. I also think 83% of the posters on this board are just like me.
And on top of that....
To make an obvious point on this apparent political thread...Liberals don’t even like Rachel Maddows!

TV news in any shape or form is for the birds, if you ask me. Sometimes there's a good Frontline or maybe a 60 Minutes segment worth watching.
So I know this won’t be popular, wish Max Dean didn’t transfer in and Beard was our guy, we didn’t need those points for a Natty, jeez sayin’
I agree entirely. Look, you simply DO NOT turn down a guy the quality of Dean (based on wrestling ability or his character) if he inquires and wants to join your team, but I also wish he wouldn't have inquired. I hate the thought of losing Beard, even assuming Dean comes back and wins another title and someone else steps up after Dean leaves. It's going to really suck to be a PSU fan if Beard transfers and ends up beating Dean in the national finals. Of course all of us would be happy for Beard and likely feel badly for Dean, but it's really going to suck......
Beard taking out Ferrari doesn't sound all that bad.
I'll still be pulling for Beard in every match. And as f'd up as this may sound, I may even find myself pulling for him against my beloved PSU. Yeah, I know. I said it's f'd up. But it's how I feel. 🤷♂️
