Mesenbrink will be gone, unless you mean the Nagao Off-Year Olympic Shirt made famous by Guns.

Just to confirm, it wasn't my thought about Penn State dominance being bad for sport. It was my friend who just likes college wrestling. He goes to Lehigh matches for the convince of it being so close to us .
Speaking of Lehigh, Santoro is starting get some pressure from Alumni. They would of had real good tournament team this year if Crookham didn't get hurt. Maybe top 5.
I saw that too with Rocco. I was thinking what the F are you doing?!? He finally looked like he actually wanted to get out in the third.
Too bad their attendance is down. That'd be 9 more empty seats for the foreseeable future.
Shakur had a few head scratchers
In the Blaze OT match when Blaze took down, the fellow I was with said, "So Blaze has to escape in less than nine seconds to win?" I answered, "Or get a reversal." I really should gamble.
At least 2 matches where he let up with 5 seconds left and got his knee hurt
No doubt, but it seems like decades of failure should prove it should just be written off. B1G wouldn’t allow it anyway.
I think if they would move to BJC it would be for season ticket revenue. Possibly they could do it intially for 50 percent of matches and a partial BJC season ticket package . Do a BJC Friday and Sunday weekend against 2 average teams. Someone like me would make the 3 plus hour trip and stay Friday and Saturday and would create revenue for hotels and restaurants.
I'm a huge baseball fan but do not think the current baseball situation is good for baseball. The powers to be wanted the Dodgers to succeed. They allowed Ohtani money to be deffered and allow the largest TV local revenue deal not to be part of the equation.
I think outsiders look at the NLWC similar.
Note: I am not in agreement, I noted it was a friend of mine that commented about the dominance not being good for sport
Especially with an official that was really reluctant to call stalling. My initial take was he was working to get a stall warning and I said to my wife that it was not the best strategy with this referee.
Regarding your first point, Cael mentioned in his post match presser: "The friendship and the camaraderie I don't think it's ever been anything close to what we have right now."
It’s also not getting its due on here because Scooter’s not in that conversation.
Regarding Davino throwing in a leg, I originally had the same thoughts as you. When I re-watched the sequence I realized Marcus was up to his feet in two seconds. Davino had a split second to decide if he could fend off the escape for another six to seven seconds. Also, the TV angle doesn't show if Davino had solid hand control or not at that point [EDIT: In taking a closer look, Davino did NOT have hand control. His left hand was on the inside of Marcus' left thigh with Marcus controlling that hand. Marcus also had his right over Davino's right hand. If I had to guess, I think Davino felt his best option at that point was to try to stick in a leg since his lack of hand control left him vulnerable to Marcus quickly escaping at that point]. At the three second mark Davino made the decision to throw in a leg and that was all she wrote : ) P.S. I still despise using riding time to determine a winner in rideouts!
Semi-related, but I wonder what the longest match is since they modified the overtime criteria? As the rules now stand, if no one has riding time advantage after the first set of rideouts then one minute is wrestled on the feet followed by another set of rideouts. If no one has a riding time advantage again then the cycle repeats itself until one wrestler scores on their feet or has a riding time advantage after rideouts. Here are the NCAA rules on Overtime:
SECTION 15. OVERTIME Art. 1. Timing and Scoring. The sudden-victory period and tiebreaker periods shall be regarded as extensions of the regulation match With the exception of riding time, all points, penalties, cautions, warnings, timeouts and injury time accumulated during regulation shall carry over to overtime Riding time accrued during regulation does not carry over into overtime Riding time, however, is recorded during all parts of overtime Art. 2. Illegal Act. If an injury occurs as a result of an illegal act during the sudden victory period of any round of overtime, the match is concluded If an injury occurs as a result of an illegal act during the tiebreaker periods of any round of overtime, recovery time is applicable Art. 3. Flagrant Misconduct. A wrestler earning the first point(s) in the sudden victory period of any round of overtime can lose only by committing a postmatch flagrant misconduct A wrestler who is declared the winner at the end of any round of tiebreakers can lose only by committing an in-match or postmatch flagrant misconduct Art. 4. Double Penalties. In a situation in which both wrestlers are penalized an equal number of points simultaneously during the sudden-victory period in any round of overtime, those points will be added to both scores, the sudden-victory period will be terminated, and the wrestlers will proceed immediately to the tiebreaker periods 30 RULE 3 / CONDUCT OF MEETS AND TOURNAMENTS SECTION 16. EXECUTING THE FIRST ROUND OF OVERTIME Art. 1. First Sudden-Victory Period. In tournament or dual-meet competition when competitors are tied at the end of three regular periods, the first round of overtime shall begin with a sudden-victory period of two minutes with no rest between the regular match and the sudden-victory period The sudden victory period will begin with both wrestlers in the neutral position Exception: Nonbleeding injury timeout If, because of a first nonbleeding injury timeout, a wrestler secures one minute of riding time at the conclusion of the sudden-victory period, that wrestler shall be awarded one point for riding time and be declared the winner Art. 2. Winning the Sudden-Victory Period. The wrestler who scores the first point(s) will be declared the winner If a wrestler in the neutral position is awarded a takedown while also meeting a near fall criterion, wrestling shall continue until a fall or near fall points are awarded, or time expires Any near fall points are added to the winner’s match score Art. 3. No Winner Determined. If no winner is declared at the end of the two minute sudden-victory period, two 30-second tiebreaker periods shall be wrestled The two 30-second tiebreaker periods will be wrestled in their entirety unless a fall, technical fall, default or disqualification occurs The choice of positions in the tiebreaker period will be handled according to Rule 3 14 3 a or 3 14 3 b Art. 4. Winning the Tiebreaker Periods. The two 30-second tiebreaker periods shall be wrestled with the riding time kept and all match points scored The competitor with the greater number of points at the conclusion of both tiebreaker periods, or who is awarded a fall, technical fall, default, disqualification or if the score remains tied, has a net riding time advantage of at least one second, is declared the winner SECTION 17. EXECUTING THE SECOND ROUND OF OVERTIME Art. 1. Second Sudden-Victory Period. If the score remains tied after the 30-second tiebreaker periods in the first round of overtime, a second round begins with a sudden-victory period of one minute If, because of a first nonbleeding injury timeout, a wrestler secures one minute of riding time at the conclusion of the sudden-victory period, that wrestler shall be awarded one point for riding time and be declared the winner Art. 2. No Winner Determined. If the score remains tied after the sudden-victory period, two 30-second tiebreaker periods will be wrestled The choice of top, bottom, neutral or defer will be granted to the wrestler who did not have the choice in the first tiebreaker round Art. 3. Winning the Tiebreaker Periods. The two 30-second tiebreaker periods will be wrestled in their entirety, riding time shall be kept and recorded and all points will be scored The competitor with the greater number of points at the conclusion of both 30-second tiebreaker periods, or who is awarded a fall, technical fall, default, disqualification or has a net riding time advantage of at least one second, is declared the winner Art. 4. Additional Rounds of Overtime. If the score remains tied after the second and any subsequent round(s) of overtime, and no net riding time advantage exists after the second tiebreaker period, the match will continue to another one-minute sudden-victory period and two 30-second tiebreaker periods The winner is declared using the same methods described in Rules 3 16 2 and 3 16 4

Yea it was like Rocco didn't want to go neutral in the first period after the take down , he was on his feet most of the ride out.
MLB "allowed" Ohtani to sign a Bobby Bonilla contract? As if they had any right legally or in the union contract to stop it.
The Dodgers weren't the only big-market team pursuing Ohtani. The other teams weren't smart enough to offer him a major tax break. That's on those teams for not understanding contract strategies from 20 years ago.
I was thinking Smokey
I didn’t take your post to be anything other then the deliverer of your friend's message. I did respond to your message in the manner I did hoping the next time you and your friend are discussing the subject you could maybe relay my perspective.
If discussed, apologies for being redundant. Mitch could have, should have teched Paddy IF he resorted to Mitch of last year with a bunch of TD’s and releases. And if Mitch thought that additional point would have made a difference, we would have seen that. He really is committed to honing his mat skills.
This is starting to feel like an Accounting or Finance class
It appeared to me Mitchell was protecting his stitches, and I believe he was dissuaded by Gallagher's head to pursue the TF via takedowns. So he went for turns. And so he naturally ended with excessive riding time.
An oldie but a goodie! Quentin from the top rope : )
I never said baseball higher ups are smart. Nothing wrong with what the Dodgers did. It was wrong to allow it. With no certainty to what future payroll guidelines would be they gave the Dodgers a huge advantage on signing star talent with minimal consequences.
The teams of the NFL have thrived as an unit because a few owners such as the Mara's wanted a uniform TV profit share for all owners .
The baseball union has gained way to much power in determining the direction of the league. When Giamanti died early after being named Commissioner it changed the direction of baseball moving forward. He was a big proponent of a hard salary cap. Remember, Bowie Kuhn stopped Charlie Finley, owner of the A's from selling off his star players in the 1970s for the good of baseball.
We will be watching lawn darts next year when the MLB contract comes up.
Enough venting about baseball. Let's talk the mat.

His deamonr and level headiness is what makes him great and appealing. Our new football coach has similar traits. Let's hope similar results.
I raised this very question to Cael at a Bo Nickal watch party following the All-Star Classic a few years ago. I told him I’d been on the season ticket waiting list for years and will likely die there. He gave his signature smile, a polite answer, but made it pretty clear Rec Hall is where the team will be wrestling (with the exception of 1 or 2 matches per year) in the foreseeable future.
Ohio State returns a eagle
Turbo Tax ova here.This is starting to feel like an Accounting or Finance class
The Bye for the #1 seeds in the Big 10 tournament can hurt sometimes because you miss out on the pin point possibilities. Am I correct?
Yes, #1 and #2 miss out in the first round.
To the extent people care about the Big Ten Tournament team standings.
I'd be OK if no team score were kept. Its only purpose is qualification for nationals.
Yes but it seldom makes a difference. On the other board I did a pretty in depth analysis of the big tens since 2015 and only in 2022 when Michigan won by 1.5 points could you say definitively the byes probably made a difference.
It's a conference championship. I am pretty sure they keep score for every other conference championship.
Besides, in the last 15 seasons it has allowed Ohio State, Iowa and Michigan to have a taste of success against PSU. It keeps their hopes alive.
That's why winning B1Gs isn't that important to me. At nationals our #1 seeds will have to wait to wrestle the winner of the #32 - #33 seeds.
well the bucks did make one point,they only have one guy on there team that would start for PSU!
