Soldier Salute updates

Doing so will preserve Angelo's NCAA undefeated status to include RS season, if he keeps it. Just because teammate matches don't count for NCAA qualifying algorithm doesn't mean they don't go in the record book, should he come out of RS.

Maybe his goal is undefeated 4xer, including RS. That'd make him GOAT material.
so, no knock on Arnold for this season then for seeding?
 
I don’t think they should have. And yes legit injury is a concern. They wrestle each other already. I’m sure they see who gets the better and it doesn’t necessarily mean because one beats the other they should b the starter and they’d beat the rest of the competition
Tell that to the women's team.
I bet they had 10 hawk vs hawk matches this weekend.
 
They are NAIA. Girl at 110 has beaten all 3 of our 110s and is clearly elite. Only other starter that lost in finals was Foeller. We sat out half our lineup
Then rankings should have a huge *
Foeller had a #1 ranking. She did absolutely nothing. Waiting for her opponent to fall down?
 
Geez people, this is an Open wrestling tournament- not some spectator sport. They’re not here just for your entertainment.

They can also qualify more than one wrestler per weight. And I don’t know how their tourney scoring works
Yes, they can, but only the winner's points contribute to the team total. Pretty sure that's the same for the men.

In fact, they'd get more team points with a win via MFF, but they don't do that and still wrestle.
 
Like I said. Ask the coaches their logic. I’m not mad about it. I’m sure it would be a good match to watch but in this case one of them gets hurt this place goes apeshit. I want to see them beating other ppl up not each other

This is the way. I was like, “damn this sucks” when I saw it on the upcoming bouts and moved on.

The only point I was making is the situations aren’t the same. They can qualify multiple and it could have seeding implications.
 
Tom never wants to mess with a kids confidence or Ego. just not lose period if it can be avoided.

Is there a chance that either Gabe an Angelo or the Arnold and Ferrari families did not want a match? They seem to have more of an existing relationship compared to some of the past interteam match ups.

Or does anyone know if Gabe got dinged up a little in his semifinal? I know it's easy to get pissed off about everything. For the record I was bummed they didn't wrestle, but over it by the time SB took the mat.

Does it though? You know how many times both guys have went at it in the room? This is a Tom decision…maybe he should call Carl and ask him about the “No contest” thing.
Pretty simple concept Chief. Before the finals at Black Knight, they announced no contest at 174, 184 and HWT. Fans knew what to expect.

Also by doing this, you’re not making any of the wrestlers look weak.

By having Angelo get his hand raised, it shows Angelo wouldn’t FF. How do you think that makes Arnold look?

Whatever..I didn’t think the match would happen, but I never thought it would be because Arnold FF to Ferrari

Do you really think wrestlers, in general, are that insecure that they GAF to some point of concern that people uninvolved in their lives might consider them weak?

I don't think Spencer taking 6th at NCAAs did. Why would Gabe in a meaningless tournament final?

If this DGAF team first strategy-wise attitude is something the Brands teach, then I say that's one thing they're doing right.

How do you think that makes Arnold look?

Honestly, I think he DGAF nor should he. There should be no change to how he sees himself in the mirror. And I hope that's the case.

Overall the Solute kicked the midlands ass, no contest.
I understand everyone wanted to see Gabe vs Angelo but anyone criticizing just does not get it including Shane Sparks! He needs to bite his tongue a bit, he is getting a bit full of himself with some of his commentary.
The Girls put on a good showing overall in the finals, I was watching side by side and caught myself glancing their way quite a bit.
The Hawks looked really good overall and we are just about to kick it into high gear.
Im ready to get after it and my wife best watch herself towards the end of this season, I just may have the crazy eyes going and thats not good for anyone in my vicinity!
