Seeing Bo at the MN dual, it's obvious he's added low level attacks to the arsenal. The product development team of Cael & Co. have done it again and cranked out a better mousetrap! To me it looked like a David Taylor low-level offense to go with his Bo Nickal upper-body stuff. I think it puts him and Dean in the finals...
are you related to Mark Manning? You sure do whine a lot.

Just because you aren't nervous doesn't mean everyone isn't nervous....
does Nolf look nervous to you?
(EDIT: for clarification since the sarcasm was missed, this is Nolf prematch relaxing to his opponents rap intro) NOT Nervous.
sorry about quality. shot my touchscreen from my phone, lol

Terrible positioning ..... LOL
I like your spirit 21!! Kade had a decent chance at the scuffle. Also, everyone has heard your opinion on Hall. You don't need to remind us.
The question for me is the definition of "panic". In my opinion, puling Halls redshirt right now, assuming it was not part of the plan, is a panic move. 48 hours ago Jimmy and MM were looking like 50-50 shots to be AA. Today, because they both lost to similarly ranked wrestlers (and looked kinda lousy doing it), we are back to "pull Hall's shirt we need the points". In my opinion, that would be a panic move right now.
sounds like dessert, the barber shop, or porn to me.
This.
On the other hand, there's a lot to be said for merciless trash talk, of the "we want to murder those Hun bastards by the bushel" variety. Otherwise we might be sitting here admitting that, yes, a long bus ride does not help a wrestler perform his best.
I will rent a Zipcar thank you.Is that what you want, Tikk? To take "long bus ride" away from us??
That's the photo caption they went with. Originally, the caption was gonna be: "What big teeth you have, Tim Lambert!"Nebraska's Tim Lambert gets poked in the eye by Penn State's Nick Suriano
In all seriousness, fans' acceptance or lack thereof is fascinating to me.I will rent a Zipcar thank you.
What I was suggesting is that there's a distinction (and this applies to all sports really) between making excuses--which the wrestlers and coaches have to be careful of doing publicly because their mental toughness will be questioned---and acknowledging, as a fan and observer, numerous realities, statistical and otherwise. I mean, as a random message board guy and fan I don't feel the need to pretend for anyone else's sake that every match is met on equal terms. If that were true why wait two weeks after the conference tourneys to hold the NCAAs? They do that because they want to level the baseline--allow them to meet on as equal terms as possible.
Coaches have to say things like, "if he's well enough to be out there, he has no excuses if he loses," but we all know that if a guy's sick, the margin of error in this sport at this level greatly increases his chances to lose. Look at Zain vs BJ Clagon last year; we know Zain was sick because Cael eventually mentioned it--was that an excuse? Zain can't cite it as a reason the match was close, but I'm certainly going to factor it into my expectations for the rematch (which sadly never occurred), because the sickness explanation comported with everything we saw and knew previously. Same with Conaway in his last match. But sometimes coaches have to manage egos, and that's what I think Eggum was doing--preserving his team's perhaps fragile psyche for the sake of the season.
That's not to say all excuse-making is equal, sometimes it's just eye-rolling nonsense, like Ryan's "long bus ride" and "average officials." But even in the same example, citing Stieber's sickness was legitimately noteworthy because it probably did factor in, even if Zain was still probably the only one capable of beating a sick Logan Stieber that day.
Uh oh, just read back and realized I've contributed far too much ink to this topic. I'm a bit under the weather though, I figure you'll all understand
