exactly like i said. ayres is saving face for his guy and that’s fine. he’s actually one of my favorite head coaches.
So we’re taking the word of a proud member of the HWC instead? Seems legit
As an aside, dude looks like he trolls for bears at Chumley’s - not that there’s anything wrong with that

They’ll believe a random Inner Circle guy on Twitter unquestionably, but table workers on the scene reporting what they are seeing in real time? Clearly the latter are lying
Nothing wrong with Ayers defending his guy. What is wrong is that decision. What a stupid reason not to wrestle. Don’t kids enjoy wrestling anymore?
Serious question, but is wrestling the only sport where this happens? I don’t follow other sports too closely, but can’t remember ever hearing such an excuse from a basketball or football player.
For all the talk about Spencer ducking Glory in the past, if I was glory I’d want to go out and put an absolute beat down on the backup. i just can’t believe wrestlers mentalities have changed so much in such a short time.

Jim Kelly is awesome! Tells it like it is. Always treated me well when I've chatted with him. I'm not afraid to throw down with most men out there, but he would be one of them! I don't think he has ever looked at a hunk of iron he didn't want to pick up. He is from PA if I remember correctly but I'm not sure of his wrestling background there.So we’re taking the word of a proud member of the HWC instead? Seems legit

lol yeah i’m going to take the word of a guy who was in the room over a coach protecting a mental lapse by his guy. james kelly is an extremely well respected guy in the community. glory got heckled every time he tried to talk trash during the dual last night by guys on the iowa staff and team. at one point you heard telford yell “hey glory shut up and make weight.” why? because they saw him cutting weight all afternoon in their room and not get there. either way it doesn’t matter or reflect well on glory. he cost his team 9+ pts by either not bothering or not being able to make weight.So we’re taking the word of a proud member of the HWC instead?

the fact they had another starter miss weight also makes me think they had issues. first dual in two years and on the road. it’s understandable. coaches obfuscate for their own/athlete’s failure all the time. anybody on this board should understand that because cael is the most cryptic coach in the country.
The maturity of the staff is truly second to none.
no arguments there lol should clarify that i think it was telford based on the voice and he is a trash talked
I have a 20 dollar bill saying not wrestling Cassioppi (as in ducking) hasn't entered Cael's nor Kerk's mind.
This was precisely my point in calling it petty—not the tweet, but the setting aside the “I’ll beat whoever lines up accross from me” attitude that you usually see in this sport. If Glory just missed weight and Ayer’s was just trying to change the narrative, that’s something else.

If it was me, I’d prefer people know that I just missed weight rather than I didn’t want to wrestle.
Missing weight sucks, but for someone with a decent cut this early in the season, you can see it happening. I can’t wrap my mind around not wanting to go beat the crap out of a backup in front of 15,000 people.
The sad part is it wouldn’t surprise anyone if it was one of the Brands.
Trying to win what? A dual? Not throwing shade but duals are absolutely pointless in the sense that there is no reward for winning duals as a team. It’s not like the top 4 teams go to a College Wrestling Playoff. Maybe for some programs a dual win against a team like Iowa may be a national championship but it’s truly only for bragging rights. If Iowa loses that dual because they wrestled all back ups compared to number 1s from Princeton, we still be sitting here knowing Iowa would be ranked #1 and no one would question it. What are the free points in a dual especially one that on paper Princeton could have been shut out in?
Wow, and you’re not afraid to throw down with most men out there. We should have a sticky thread for all the tough guy, country saving stuff you’ve been telling us about yourself lately
@slushhead What do you think about starting up a new one of these threads for each week, throw the dates in the title, and then let it ride from there? Seems that these all turn into discussion threads and can stray from topic, which is totally cool, with maybe 5% of the thread being the "noteworthy results". Just a thought...
It’s yet another way he serves our nation — role model for young people who aspire to be tough guys.
Yeah, looks like this one went the way of the goldfish, too. Lemme think a while to see if I can come up with a snarkier way to create Take III. 😉
Stanford @ Cornell on ESPN+ right now.
Yianni on deck @149. Hopefully Abas gives him a good match.
Yianni won 3-1, in part on the strength of an Illegal Shoelace Grab.
Close one at 165! Freshman Julian Ramirez upsets Griffith 3-2!! Challenge by Stanford on late, non-called TD.
Non-call upheld — Ramirez with the upset. 😲
No Darmstadt tonight.

I just turned the match on and missed the first 2 matches. I heard the announcers say Vito won by major at 133. Do you know who went at 125 and what the result was? Wondering if Greg D is at 125 for Cornell?
That was atrocious.
Yianni doing the Mike Carr crybaby face at Koll ... ugh. Wasn't he supposed to be supremely likeable?
Matt Lee, transitive property national champ.
Lol, Iowa apologists out in full force on this one for some reason.
So I have absolutely not f****** clue what to make of that result. Absolutely baffling.
Yianni’s always been a bit of a stealthy jerkoff (cameras catching him trashing Zain to his boys, often very smug remarks, etc.). I’m not surprised.
