    '26 Senior World Championships (10/24-11/1) thread

    Lived in Queen Creek for almost 4yrs. Stayed in my mom's spare bedroom while I was working on my PhD. I barely know the area because I did nothing but work in the lab and occasionally commute back-and-forth between Queen Creek and Mesa (half the time I just slept in my car).

    Fifth year Eligibility - Levi, Mendes

    No different here in Utah. I have a 6th grader, he just turned 11, but several of his friends/classmates are 13+. The Bassett academic plan is everywhere. All jokes aside, in my anecdote the father was 12 and mama was 16.

    '26 U23 World Championships (10/12-18) thread

    Yeah, wow, so much for this being the strongest U23 team ever. Good to see James and Davino, but a total dud from a team standpoint just like U17.

    '26 U23 World Championships (10/12-18) thread

    Sealey has been killing it in freestyle, but (to my eye) he looks about average size for a 157 and could possibly make 70kg. He's giving up a ton of horsepower at 79kg. Minto is the favorite; remember, he makes Haines look small.

    :LOL: I went to high school with a girl who got pregnant our junior year...by a 6th grader.

    Why Social Media is enriching our lives, while it eats away at the fabric of our society.

    From a team points perspective, you have to think Desmond at 133 and Blaze going up to 141 would be better. Not sure Desmond has a good shot at AA at 141, but he certainly does at 133 and Blaze is top-4 at either weight.

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    149 will be absolutely stacked this year. Do you have SVN beating Vega and Henson, not to mention Valencia?

    HUGE wildcard. He's definitely in the mix for an individual title, maybe the outright favorite, if it's the Kasak everybody saw in '25. But he definitely has not looked fully recovered based on his freestyle matches since. Response and recovery from TBIs are virtually impossible to predict - I...

    Real American Freestyle

    Some weird matches, eg. Chimaev is going to absolutely ragdoll Lawler. They couldn't find someone better than a mid-40's former MMA fighter, who has like a 4" and 30lbs. disadvantage (based on size from his fighting days), and never was an elite wrestler to begin with?

    ONO

    This. IMO Desmond could be really good at 133 but won't AA at 141, Blaze obviously will. Barring a growth spurt since last year, Desmond is way undersized for 141 and Blaze at least has the frame to get there. I am really hoping to see Ono.

    The only robbery this year worse than Robideau vs Duke...

    The WMU head coach was incredibly composed considering his team was just robbed.

    Why Social Media is enriching our lives, while it eats away at the fabric of our society.

    Yup, you pretty much said it, without saying it. This was in '05, I can only imagine the "variety" of people there now. My sister - 5yrs younger than me - went to Brown for undergrad. I visited her once while in the area for a work conference. Similar environment. She liked it, but let's just...

    Why Social Media is enriching our lives, while it eats away at the fabric of our society.

    Very nearly went there for grad school, they offered me a ridiculous financial package. Then I visited; took about 30 seconds to realize it was not for me. I ended up going to a less prestigious university (with a similarly ranked program in my field), who offered a much less enticing financial...

    Think big!

    My best friend is 5'4", a former college wrestler who is built like a freaking mack truck, and his wife is a nearly 6' human Barbie. They have 5 sons, the oldest two (14 and 12) already being quite a bit taller than their dad. We were swimming with them the other day and as she got up out of a...

    I saw an interview this week with a college coach, might have been Lanning, head coach of Oregon football. He said something to the effect of "NCAA sports are now almost indistinguishable from triple-A baseball." At least someone, who is getting obscenely wealthy off it, had the balls to admit...
