    Fully agree. I've liked Shaw in both matches. He seems to know how to answer a leg attack...meaning, he can reach around for the guy's ankles like most 25-pounders do! But he also has an ability to launch more attacks than we've seen from Bowman. Thirdly, he appears to have a bit of a gas tank...

    I even think a "D" is generous. The clueless NW play-by-play guys misidentified two Hawkeyes, and they didn't identify Glosser until the 3rd period, all while stating that this was a "marquee match"! As well, the main guy kept asking the color commentator what the strengths and strategies were...

    What's your honest nationals predictions for Hawkeyes

    Well...your dream finish would have two more champs than the modern record of 5, which even Iowa has done only twice. That would easily put them in first place, by a long shot. But, I guess that's what dreams are made of!

    Big10 Wrestler of the Week?

    I'm thinking that "HE CHOSE DOWN" should be memorialized somewhere. It's more than just a good locker room saying, bumper sticker or T-shirt. Seems like it could almost make a great corporate mission statement.

    I have not blocked anyone, yet, out of principle. But I think it may be necessary. Good advice!

    Says the guy who rarely writes a post without attacking someone's character. And yes, I will call that out.

    Thanks for proving my point with your very words. Some of you just can't post anything without insulting someone else.

    Nicely parlayed, WestPA. I add this... "Internet Forum: A place where some who lack discipline and civility find exhilaration in venting their anger with language they would not have the courage to use in a face-to-face encounter."

    You know, you can have the last word in this pointless back-and-forth. I'm done with this. But I will point out that you changed your argument. In your first post against mine, you claimed I "denigrated the kid." That would be a personal attack. (Check the dictionary.) I protested that I did not...

    Yeah, I really dislike it when what I post is twisted out of proportion. First of all, I did not "denigrate the kid." I've never met him. I criticized his wrestling strategy. Against Gilman, he mostly just hung on his back, and got all of two counts against him in what I would guess was 5...

    Agree, totally and completely. He hangs on, doesn't move, looks around at the clock, the ref, his coaches, the ref, the clock. Then about the time he could get a stall call, he works for backs...sort of. When's he's successful against lesser opponents, some commentators consider him a beast of a...

    What a sad, ignorant, unsporting comment. But, hey...I get it that we all tend to say regretful things in moments of deep frustration. But, when overstated invective is all that's in our rhetorical tool bags, we still lose the argument.

    I don't know. Your confidence seems pretty high in Reeves' future, and as more cautious posters have noted, things change a lot in college. Still, I respect how much better the 'Clones are recruiting these days.

    HWC Update

    Back in the day (the mid 1970s), me and a few other guys would occasionally pop into Beyer Hall in Ames and watch either the gymnasts or the wrestlers work out. We saw some knock-down, drag-out wrestle-offs, and some guys trying some new and relatively dangerous dismounts off of high bar and...

    Thanks for posting the link! What I observed from this--albeit only one--match (and presumably against a quality opponent) is that 1) He uses his length well; 2) The dude can ride like a beast; 3) He moves quickly when he gains an advantage; 4) He seems pretty creative at getting out of single...

    All right, since we have ventured into Bible study...The quote above is from the Sermon on the Mount, and the context is largely one in which "our boy from Nazareth" gives warnings about the unjust standards of the Pharisees, a group who often "judged" folks for not living up to their special...

    I was happy to read that one or two teammates fished it out, too. Maybe there was a lesson in that, whatever it might have been--that's between him and his teammates. Let's hope the whole match becomes motivational. I can't wait till Spencer draws him again! After all, we have Spencer's record...

    It's simple, Vodka. I am saying that throwing his 2nd place medal in the trash was not a classy action. I commented on that action, alone. Please note that I did NOT call him a classless individual/person/athlete. I think I clearly stated my support for Spencer. Why you don't get that is beyond...

    I choose not to worship our athletes, no matter how elite they may be. They're human and should be able to take criticism, even from fans who happen to really care about the success of those athletes. As far as my "judgement" being "way off," I'm going to suggest that fits your take, pal. I...
