So his conditioning didn't result in bonus as he said it would?
The Knox family will offer AJ their expertise on how to handle being boo'd.It'll be interesting to see how AJ reacts to the crowd in Philadelphia. Because you know he's getting boo'd at every opportunity.
That's lead to...uh...sub-optimal reactions from him in the past.
must if been watching WWW before the match!!
so all DQ??Willie and Basch live this morning; Willie saying he’s getting texts that OkSt was late to weigh ins

Wait -- when did Taylor hire Kevin Jackson?Willie and Basch live this morning; Willie saying he’s getting texts that OkSt was late to weigh ins
Edit: Willie now clarifying that he’s being told two OkSt wrestlers were cutting weight after weigh-ins began. I have no idea what that means rules-wise.
Now they're capped at 9 scoring wrestlers.
Would they even be eligible for an at large bid to NCAAs?
Belton is OklahomaNow they're capped at 8 scoring wrestlers.
I don’t think so. Carter had to wrestle 0:01 last year and take two L’s to get an at-largeWould they even be eligible for an at large bid to NCAAs?
I didn't think so. Guess it might depend if they were DQed or forefits. My lean is DQ and done for year.I don’t think so. Carter had to wrestle 0:01 last year and take two L’s to get an at-large
Now sounding like both guys are wrestling?
You are correct. Track is showing they are both on deck on different mats.Now sounding like both guys are wrestling?
The Belton match was supposed to take place almost 45 mins ago. I guess things were getting discussed or appealed.You are correct. Track is showing they are both on deck on different mats.
Knox's attorney:The Belton match was supposed to take place almost 45 mins ago. I guess things were getting discussed or appealed.
Yep. They wrestled the 2 matches in between some 157 pound matches. Must have gotten worked out.The Belton match was supposed to take place almost 45 mins ago. I guess things were getting discussed or appealed.
Friend of mine is there. Story going around the arena is that Jamison was on a bike after skin check and Brian Smith was the vocal one trying to get him tossed for it. Supposedly John Smith and a couple of lawyers showed up to argue for Jamison.
That's what he said.John Smith?
