I’ll die on the hill of us going the wrong direction with the 1 supporting point in bounds rule. We want LESS wrestling on the edge. This creates more. 😞

I give wrestling and the NFHS credit. Trying to make real positive change to push the sport forward. I don’t know if it’s needed in HS like it was in college, but it’s here now. We’ll adapt.

But on a side note, there are going to be some wicked fast TF’s 😳😏

The losers taunting Burroughs weren’t even watching international wrestling when he won his first World Title. Success is great, but it sure does bring out the bandwagoners.

Every time I thought Burroughs lost to Father Time, he had an answer. Absolutely incredible he’s been this good for so long. Nothing but respect for the guy who resurrected USA Wrestling. If you don’t know, you should. 🙏❤️👊

17.6lbs of muscle between 57kg and 65kg. You couldn’t make up this gap in a whole cycle. Maybe 2 cycles. It leaves a lot of world class deserving athletes without a fair opportunity to showcase their abilities. I don’t see how that’s “better” at all.

If they let you play defense like this, wrestlers could be a lot more successful playing basketball. Can you choke them as long as they don’t pass out? Holy prison rules 😳

This is really special. Tom is one of the best to ever do it. The number of good kids he’s turned out at Central Michigan is mind blowing. And that kind of loyalty is rare. Great interview. Funny how one moment can create a legacy. Kudos to the people of Mt Pleasant, MI. ❤️

Brock Hardy is my hero. So awesome man. Own it. Such a great response and look for wrestling. Already a fan Brock but now a bigger one! 👊

It’s a small change but I belief the neutral stall call should dictate a restart. Action in the center (furthest from OOB) and athletes back in close proximity to each other.

Unless the stall is called simultaneously with the non-stalling wrestler in on an attack. That’s an area…

This really shouldn’t be controversial.

1. You should never be allowed to “run”. Anything that takes fight phase should be an immediate stall and whistle to restart in the center. If you have no warning, that could maybe buy you 3-4 seconds.

2. You should be allowed to defend…

You’re not a real wrestling fan if you have no empathy for those who came up short this weekend. Even the rival wrestlers or the guys you hate watching. Heart and soul goes into this sport for all.

The good news is, it says more about you than the athletes. And it allows us to

So far americanair has:
1. Cancelled a 2pm flight overnight and rebooked to 5:30am the following morning
2. Mechanical delay for 1 hour with a 1 hour connection that AA rebooked. First flight in the morning. No one thought to check the plane that had been sitting there…

Christian Pyles I have nothing but respect for Daton, we have been wrestling against each other since we were little. He is a true competitor and I am honored that my last college match was against him. We both put our all into that match.

Some of you guys claiming these college kids are “stallers” and “boring wrestlers”, I would love to see some of your matches. 😏 It’s so easy to talk the talk.

After watching every match in every session, the glaring hole in folkstyle wrestling right now is an objective edge penalty. I don't know what the penalty should be or how it should be determined. Lots to consider:
-One foot or two
-Grounded or not
-Stalling table or separate…

Quick list of my favorite non-champs who finished their careers this weekend. There are many more. I just really liked these guys.

1. 'Suga' Shane Griffith - He basically walked on water. Saved his own program and quite a few others with an improbable NCAA title run, his only…
