I heard a story or two about Burnett over the years. None were flattering and each centered on him having a super fragile ego. They still have it going on today. If you look at the listed school for their kids at PJWs, 1/4-1/2 are listed as a school other than Reynolds. Apparently St. Mary’s is starting to pull the same stuff
Yea, cody was a cool kid though just raised by an absolute jack wagon...It's a shame they do that, but I think now people see what these academies and prep schools do and just accept it at all levels. Wouldn't mind seeing prep/academy/religious schools not be in public leagues but that will never happen. Which stinks
With each passing NCAA tournament, Quint K. reminds me of Michael Keaton in the movie Multiplicity (Multiplicity (1996) - IMDb), where he clones himself, and with each new cloning, he becomes more and more of a mess. Not trying to be unkind to Quint, just that when I saw him sitting on a chair during a match, mic in hand, he reminded me of that movie.
This rule makes no sense to me. AND it throws the further complicating factor of getting the time keeper involved.
I hope Cael or Pat Kraft make a public call for an investigation. Just like everything else, money and betting will ruin wrestling too.
I said later "he's in the right room to figure it out"...Only time will tell whether it happens.
Drake Ayala has a fun fact. He's the only wrestler to face the fab four. He didn't win any of the bouts.

Can we assume the talk tonight will be T
osu and osu-w? I mean, two dominant buckeyes and four freshmen cowboys. That’s the story.
osu and osu-w? I mean, two dominant buckeyes and four freshmen cowboys. That’s the story.Next year's PSU team probably chases another team scoring record. OkieSt will be a dominant second place. Iowa, the Buckeyes and Cornhuskers can stare at the Cowboys backside chasing them.
Next year will be interesting. With Levi graduating, 174 is open. Since Mitchell has Oly Ambitions, and 74Kg is ~163, don't seem him going up, but who knows.
It seems both Kasak and Duke are likely to outgrow 157.
I'm sure Cael has a plan or something.
Kasak will be 157 next year.
I've never been that guy to suggest that games were being fixed, that players were throwing games, etc. etc. and I find it hard to imagine that someone has gotten to the refs or to other wrestlers (seems like a lot of medical forfeits by people who didn't appear to be badly injured which benefitted one specific team), but damn, that PJ call (among others is just really, really hard to otherwise explain). I hate to even think that something like that is going on, but damn.......And for the record, I don't dislike David Taylor, don't really have issues with Oklahoma State either (given that we're going to beat them by 50 points in this tournament), but.......
Why do think Kasak will outgrow 157? Seems like he is planning on staying at the weight.
At this point, we need to DEFINE takedowns and reversals and enforce stalling, but I have no faith in the rule making process.
When they created the three point TD and destroyed historic continuity. We were told that it was going to create more offense. Instead we get guys riding their knees, and more stuff is going to review. More matches are ending early-because they didn't adjust the TF threshold when they arbitrarily raised the TD point. Nobody knows what the hell reaction time is.
How many pins would Nickal, Nolf and Zain lost under the 3 pt TD rule?
It makes no sense that a reversal remains at 2, because it's a more difficult move than a TD.
Nobody knows what the hell reaction time is either.
The jury will disregard...
He shouldn't be refffing youth tournaments. He'd screw up the tykes learning.
Just re-watched the Duke debacle. We were at a bar watching last night so there were some distractions but I knew it was a screw job even then. After re-watching it I see that it's way worse than I realized. How can you review something after a ref blows his whistle basically stopping the wrestler from finishing beyond a doubt? PJ had him locked up and probably would have pinned him and then the ref bailed him out. Review officials need to apply common sense in a situation like that.
Shayne broke my spreadsheet! I copied one a few years ago and edit it each year. It counts on score differentials between 15-20 as a tech fall. I had to edit the formula just for Shayne.
