Finals thread

Who was Purdue's last finalist? Seems like it's been a long time since they've had one.
 
I think I like the boilermaker outline on the singlet which is interesting because I usually hate the representations of that mascot.

I can't remember his name but didnt they have a really good 141 lber around the same time Luke Eustice wrestled? Or was he 125? It's been so long.
 
He and RBY have almost identical bonus rates around 65%. Parris has 11 falls I think, while RBY has 4 with a couple more techs than Parris. Parris has the higher quality wins imo.
Parris beat Kerk 3x and Tony 2x, right?

Not even sure who RBY's best win was. Probably Vito if he wins tonight.

I cannot imagine that God is concerned about something as inconsequential as who wins a wrestling match or which team wins a football game.
After all, and this is a LEGITIMATE question, what if BOTH wrestlers in a match are good God-fearing individuals?

Nobody thanks God for winning a match itself, that's the stupid misconception all the haters try conflate with having faith when guys reference it. You thank Him for helping you be the best you can be in situations, and yes winning or even losing can be that situation to shape you, hopefully staying healthy along the way. Nobody wins or loses a game because they have more faith (in this context anyway, not giving up when you are behind is a different type of faith), but you recognize that without your faith you aren't your best self and maybe wouldn't even have ever found yourself with the opportunity to succeed.
 
Well, that's been a minute. Thanks!
I was wrong. I had the wrong guy! I deleted my post. So sorry!

Jesse Reyes beat Johnny Orr when Reyes was at Bakersfield. He then coached Purdue for many years. My brain got scrambled.

God's reasoning and web runs extremely deep. He's playing multi- dimensional chess. 4d is childs play.
Basically, it comes down to whether the future is foreordained, or whether the future is open in one form or another. Determinism, Free Will Theism, or Open Theism. I lean to Open Theism where not everything is minutely foreordained.

Wrong.
 
I don't give a shit about religion or what people believe in just don't shove it down my throat when I'm watching sports.
The athletes have the right to say what they want. It's called freedom of speech. My last post on the subject.
Let's watch wrestling.
 
Glory, “Move over a little bit, make some room for me” Things happen for a reason. How moving and sincere.

All Spencer had to do was run and hide for 30 seconds. Why?

I'm no expert, but I heard Spencer say in an interview that he wrestles his match. Doesn't gameplan based on opponents.

I have a hard time believing that is 100% true, as that just doesn't make sense.

I think his body just couldn't do what he thought it could in that late moments of the match.
