Mo doesn't want a medical year. He wanted a couple more weeks to heal. He wrestled the ISU dual with the problem and he trusts his Doctor. Bob probably did tell Brands to cut ties (a guess) because when slumbob says jump brands asks how high? They probably should have never let the slum lord takeover the program. They were better before he involved himself. Bob adheres to the golden rule- "I have the gold so I make the rules"
Yeah, they were better when Spencer’s dad was running the show.

About Endene and his neck,
At Penn State I roomed with Fuzzy Young who was a QB at DuBois. They had an old fashioned, Woody Hayes-style coach. In the 2nd quarter I believe, he complained about his neck hurting. Coach slapped him along side his helmet and told him to get back in there. He played the 2nd half with a broken neck. This was before the halo, so he spent 9 months on his back in traction. The scar running down the back of his neck was like a Frankenstein scar.

And this was Fuzzy Young’s head slapping coach. Yeh he was old fashioned.

Look, I've followed Penn State since the 60's, I had my share of humble pie. What I'm saying is, I think I have wrestling PTSD.

My wife graduated from Clarion and I told her I wasn't going to say a thing when Clyde Frantz wrestled Wade Schalles, Wade gave him his leg and Clyde bridged for a minute 14 before the ref slapped the mat, while my wife was screaming and true to my word, I said nothing.

If we start at 125# and it's 0-0 after 1, I'm going to be nervous.

Do I know 100% what happened with Endene? Absolutely not. Does Bob seem like a guy who would force an injured wrestler to wrestle or cut his funding while he was expecting his first child?

"Monarch Investment and Management Group, LLC and related companies received over $259K from State to protect Minnesota tenants from eviction during COVID-19 pandemic, then filed 44 eviction actions against tenants"

Yea, I think that is something that world class slumlord would do.

"The company was found to be measuring utility usage through a single meter on some buildings and illegally ratio billing tenants"...Can't forget this either when thinking of Bob.

I always thought it was odd that their dad was a good basketball player and he ended up with two world level wrestlers. Then, years later, my son ended up having a really good basketball career. The kids find their own path.
From what I know, my birth father was a multi-time state placer in California and none of his progeny ended up wrestling. One of my only early childhood memories was going to tournaments as he worked on the side as a ref. None of us wrestled. Among us 5 siblings are two former D1 soccer players, a D1 water polo player, and D1 football player (me). My oldest brother may have been the best athlete (football and baseball), but he liked drugs more than school and was never close to academically eligible - the military saved his life. My mom never played a sport in her life, she (as the only parent, he was completely gone by the time I was 6) just let us try whatever we wanted.

I have no doubt about the fact that you all will be very kind and polite about telling me all the ways and reasons why some of these picks are wrong! Lol.

Great article. 141 - if Bailey wins, it won't be via a late takedown. I've seen some of his matches this year and the dude doesn't have a gas tank. I think Davis looks good at 141 and he's going to surprise moving forward...we'll see. Watched Baschmania break down the dual, Basch picks PSU at every weight yet believes the team score will be something like your predicted end result because he thinks Iowa will pull a win out in a couple weights but can't pick where. I would LOVE to see Gabe Arnold wrestle to finally get his taste of a Nittany Lion...worth the price of admission and more to see him get thumped!

nothing irrational in here. One side's plausible range is 0-7 wins, another's is 3-10.

My daughter and I just watched “I, Tonya”. Talk about having a screwed up childhood! My daughter was a figure skater and I knew there were politics in skating- but had no idea it was that bad. The movie was based actual interviews. Anyhow, I highly recommend the movie.
Margot Robbie in clingy, revealing outfits is actually the only reason needed to watch (but, yes, it was entertaining)

Everyone is anticipating the matchup between Welsh and Ferrari. Something just occurred to me. Last year we all were looking forward to seeing CStar vs Arnold and Brands held back Arnold and threw in Ferrari. Maybe he’ll pull the same thing in reverse this year. Welsh vs Arnold. Of course Brands will be accused of ducking, but when does Brands ever care about what other people think?

It's funny how people thought Arnold because they wanted to see Carter smack him around, which meant ignoring Brands saying multiple times that Ferrari was getting the toughest matches within the 5 freebie shirt dates.

Not worried about Luke. The Prime Directive since Black Knight is most likely "do NOT get injured". (Because of Nagao/backup situation.)

I do not recall Brands saying that ... not at all.

IIRC, Brands said something to that effect AFTER the dual to justify putting in Ferrari. Also, didn’t Arnold think he was going to start right up until the 174 match was finished? I distinctly remember Arnold being politely escorted out of the gym floor area because he was really upset.

Wow, can I get state money for that? I own my home, meaning I get to rent from the County and School District.
