The Wrestling Thread that's not about anything.....

  InterMat has new rankings out. I think I counted four Graham Falcons. Not too shabby.

  Alex lost to Hall by two. Was hoping two Graham guys would have been on the short list to have beaten MH.
• cruiser_96

  

  Saw that. 5-3 final... Not bad. My guess is if they meet again, it will be another hard-fought battle. Perhaps with a different outcome.
  
  Has Hall committed anywhere?

  Really close to a TD late in the match.

  Seriously... Can't hear about a super duck without laughing about this site. Odds on Bubba pulling it off???

  Chance is a wimp.

  Bully.
  
  I don't think he's a wimp. I just things happened. Something that Chance didn't want to deal with. His life, his choice. But to continue with your narrative, he'll probably go 174 anyway.
• Gardens35

  I agree with 1 beast and the rest............pretty good thread so far.

  lol! Do you have any idea why he changed his mind? Did Cael want him to cut and CM wanted to try getting bigger?

  Random thoughts for the new season...please discuss.
  
  1. I have now coached for 16 years, and I don't feel that old.
  2. I kinda miss old school seeding meetings.
  3. Only 2 wrestlers on our current team could pick john smith out of a lineup. I will bet zero could identify Dave Schultz.
  4. If mat mopping technology has improved so much why are there so many more diseases?

  #2 - I Kinda miss the Graham invite being the two day event it was 20ish years ago. Even cooler back then when all the Graham wrestlers lived within a few miles of each other........cough cough.
  #3 - sad...
  #4- I think marketing technology has improved.....that's it.
• cruiser_96

  

  #1) Same here.
  #2) meh. Neither for nor against.
  #3) I'm at the junior high level. But I don't fault them for there lack of knowledge. When I was at the high school level, very few could have picked out Lance Palmer, Colt Sponseller, or even Logan Stieber.
  #4) good question. Said: better answer.
• snugglyhippo

  We are not talking about good wrestlers at the same level, I am sure all high school football players know Barry sanders, all basketball players know magic Johnson, and all baseball players know Nolan Ryan , that was my only point. But no, I don't fault them for they're lack of knowledge either!
• cruiser_96

  

  Aaaaaah, yes. You are shedding light on the lack of promotion our sport gets. Perhaps with FloWrestling and GOhiocasts.com , we (you and I yes, but moreover, the wrestling community at large) can change that!

  john smith was the guy Brad Pitt played in that movie, right?
