Seems like it to me. We sound lamer and whinier and more eager to argue about trivialities. As if we were starting a journey to HR-quality from BWI-quality.
Noteworthy Results, Iowa Ducks, Glory Holes, Turk serves his country (again), Yianni a jerk, etc.

Ladies and gentlemen, your transitive property National champion, Joe Lee
I think you mean Terrell Barraclough.
Kevin Bacon fits in there somehow
I’ll take your word for it, but that leaves me scratching my head. Wasn’t last year’s word on the street that he was showing up only for March was because he had overloaded up on coursework, which necessitated an Allen Iverson treatment of the regular season?
Or was the truth that his academics-over-sports commitment was compelled by underperformance?
Anyway, I was thinking maybe injury, based on the little ambulance icon next to his name in Wrestlestat.
Last year Woods loaded up his class schedule so he could graduate since Stanford was dropping wrestling. They didn't and now his schedule is undergraduate class deficient. Second semester should be fine
Stanford is on the quarters system. Maybe that makes both stories compatible?
Wow. Robb came awfully close to beating two national champions back to back. Impressive.
Yeah, obviously I have (had) no idea what was up . . . figured I’d keep mentioning his absence (a) for the benefit of anyone else like me who was curious whether he was going, and (b) until someone who knew what was up, spoke up. 😉
Phillippi from Pitt while riding out the win basically pins himself with 4 seconds remaining in the match. Defensive pin......and another highly ranked guy goes down
I watched the match. Not a good day for Pitt. Phillippi’s fall was defensive. The Lehigh wrestler forced the issue, and Mickey was never able to get comfortable on top.
If the trend of T&T sitting their stars to protect their seeds becomes the norm, perhaps the practice should be called “hawking” rather than “ducking”. (No disrespect intended towards Stephen Hawking, r.i.p.)

not that he's short on credits overall, but that he didn't take enough in the previous quarter which might make sense because he wasn't planning on still being there initially.
For example, as I understand it, an athlete who took less than 12 credits last spring would not be eligible to play in the fall semester because they weren't full time. LSU lost one of its top running backs for something like this. I obviously don't have inside info. I heard this on one of the podacsts (Willies I think?).
Robb is strong and extremely defensive. Carr was careless early and gave up a rather dumb two. Robb spent most of the rest of the match giving ground and blocking and the ref swallowed his whistle. I will be very surprised if a rematch didn't find Carr winning by 4-5 point margin. David still makes mistakes from a strategic standpoint that he will be forced to clean up especially in International events in his future. He is a cat (somewhat like RBY) in terms of speed and reflex.
That's OK, Robb doesn't need to beat Carr, just beat Young.
Oh please. Nationals is a divided highway. We want no traffic in our direction, and a 70-car pileup on Iowa's side.
