Re: U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS

He is doing it. By way of themat.com Repechage #1 – WIN Alibeg Alibegov (Bahrain), fall, 2:37 Retherford opened up the scoring at the 45-second mark with a front headlock toss for four points. He was countered with exposure by Alibegov during the exchange, resulting in a 4-2 score in favor of Rethe...

Need a 165 in a bad way if Mays stays as well.

Re: Building on Success

I would think there is a good chance Barraclough goes to OK State now if they want/need him.........same with other big names in portal that fit their needs......OK State will want to make a splash in his first year and they have deep pockets....... Great insight here. I mean is there a better exam...

Re: Columbia Head Coach Opening

There have been people who sold all they own to by lottery tickets. And won, Very few people. So of course some people who went to for profits have been success. It was 10,000s of thousands of jobs at Fortune 500. 10,000s of thousands… I’d like to think I’m a pretty smart guy, but I’m having diffic...

Re: U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS

One of the biggest injustices in sports = the halving of men's wrestling at the Olympics. Not only is it an original Olympic sport, but it actually has a vibrant community as a sport that is Olympic-centric (as opposed to something like Boxing where Olympics is not the primary focus). Just so incre...

Re: Stanich

Someone had previously implied Crookham might move up a weight, but I have not heard that anywhere else. I take it he is staying put at 133? Stanich will defer next season and move to 141. Seymour will be the starter at 125. Crookham is a 133. Hines and Bailey will battle it out for the starting sp...
