Olympic Trials Day 2 thread

Dake showing his uber class in almost shoving J'Den Cox off the stage. For his effort... he loses. Thank GOD.

Could you imagine Kyle walking out in the Opening Ceremonies in Rio with his arms raised above his head to bring attention to himself? Now you don't have to imagine that. :D
 
Just an opinion.
I really wish nobody on here would use the "go to your own board" BS.

For the most part it's simply unnecessary. The more diverse the posters, generally the more fun the communication.
I got that exact quote from an Iowa poster on HR today. In the same sentence where he agreed with me! Wth...

He somehow found time for that shove while constantly whining to the ref.

I love it!!! The ultimate douche Dake is out!!! The one poster said it best when he said Dake always speaks with arrogance, like he's the smartest guy in the room. Everyone except Cornhole (cornell) fans root for guys like J'Den Cox and D Taylor because they are humble and real. Dake acts like he's doing anyone speaking to him a favor just by acknowledging their presence (think shindlers list and the "I pardon you" scene). I dont want him representing the US

Well maybe Kyle could provide commentary from Rio with Billy Baldwin since they spent so much time together at msg.

NO doubt LHavenlion... when talent alone couldn't win the match... Dick looked to the referee once again to bail him out. The appropriate picture of a Dick should be changed in the dictionary to a picture of KYLE DICK... with his arms raised.

I like Billy Baldwin - a big PSU fan, but the volume of Dake interviews was sickening. One was right over top of a psu match

It was Dake, running his mouth and selling his t shirts, WHILE a national championship match was going on. It was rude, disrespectful, and condescending...just like Dake himself.

Notice how he can't take a loss either? Classless.

Classic heinous douche baggery of the Nazi concentration camp commander Armon Goethe pretending he was a Roman Emperor. The level of arrogance... Sickening. My favorite movie for true cinematic brilliance.

By the way, he's done. DT is still growing into the weight, and in 4 years, will be our best man at the weight( I believe Cox will end up going up a weight), and has closed the gap down to nothing: Dake was gifted todays semi.
 
With Cox's athleticism and size he has a great chance to medal at Rio.

Agreed. I find it hilarious that haters are apathetic toward Dake, while trashing anything with Blue and White, or Cael attached to it: Dake represents everything that a young man SHOULD NOT be, with regard to class and respect, while our guys continue to be humble, honest, and real.

It felt like ESPN was having a bromance with Dake!
They can still have the romance in Rio, only with Dake rambling on at the mouth, WHILE J'DEN IS OUT THERE WINNING GOLD ON THE MAT, and Dake can sell his T shirts in the aisles at the venue. That's IF Brazil will let the asshole in the country.

FYI Twitter feed of @davidscrivner has some cool photos of cox-dake match #3. Scrivner is photographer of Iowa city press
 
Want Varner to do well.

But Snyder looks like our best bet for an Olympic medal.

He is on a roll against some very good talent.

Oh come on, tell me you're not watching coverage of Dake on Copacabana wearing a mankini.

Trying to wrap my head around next year's NCAA tournament featuring TWO undergrad Olympians ... and at the 2 heaviest weights no less.

As good as Jake Varner looked in the 1st match against Kyle Snyder... he looked listless and unmotivated in the next two matches. Jake looked wasted in the last match. Breathing very heavy... hands on his knees... no urgency.
