This is Mitch’s last chance for a real break through August 28. Qualification for the team and medaling in World’s at 27 is bigly important for 28 Olympic team trials positioning. Helping get the weight qualified, winning the MF’ing gold in 28. His plate is full for the next 2+ years. Taking this summer off, if that is what he chooses, is pretty forward thinking to me.

kasak is a tough kid... i am sure he will be fine. We have all been dinged up from time to time. Kids bounce back quickly!
I’ll believe you if you never said the ~same thing about the Altons or Robbie Howard or anybody else who turned out not to be fine.

Knowing Mitchell, he takes the summer off, records a #1 hit single, then moves up to 174 and techs everyone on his way to another Hodge.
What are you saying? Winner gets the girl. Sounds fair. That would sell a bunch of tickets
Just saw a list of entries at 74 kg. In addition to the Penn State guys, Caliendo, Carr, Wick and James. That’s going to be an exciting weight bracket.
Its a good thing that Bobby(hr)didnt sign Mitch. Contract clauses get sticky.
On a side note, what were beth and KD whispering about.
Strong talk on FRL is that Zain is going 70kg at World Team Trials....
I would like to see him kick Robideau’s ***Strong talk on FRL is that Zain is going 70kg at World Team Trials....
A new BWI Penn State wrestling show is live. It’s heavy on trials Talk including Duke so putting it here do note that we recorded before the Cochran news last night.
He is indeed now entered.Strong talk on FRL is that Zain is going 70kg at World Team Trials....
Water is wet
With @Hockeygod11 at a Korean BBQ all-you-can-eat place the other night, and PJ Duke was with a few teammates one table over. If he was going 70kg he'd have had a tough time eating there and making weight.
Google’s AI answer to: “which professionals would not say water is wet?”
“Here are the professionals who would likely say water is not wet:
- Physicists and Surface Scientists: ..

So, please don’t jinx Zain again with that idiosyncratic “wet water” stuff!

Not sure what AI says, but Smokey says
“None of your business what I do in the woods!”
I’ll try and find the State Media video, but PJ and Mason Ellis were on with host Conner Pierce. They were talking about that BBQ place by Weiss (as well as a few more conspiracy theories as that is an Ellis thing). Last show of the season they said
This may be problematic in that Mitch and Levi may be at the same Olympic weight in 2028.
Plus Duke and James. I think we see Levi go up to 86 rather then cut it 74
I'll look for it, but yeah, Ellis and Pierce were also there. The Korean BBQ place is pretty wild--$34 all you can eat and everything is cooked at the table. Easy to get carried away.
They mentioned a two hour time limit and they have maxed out the time every time. Per the show, it sounded like it was going to be PJs first time there. Does t sound like he is planning any weight cuts anytime soon
Yes. 92kg and 97kg are not being wrestled so if he wants to compete it has to be at heavy
He is also registered at 125kg for u23. Might be an awkward roster battle ahead. Cole has about 20 pounds on him for now.
He is not yet entered as of 8:50 p.m. ET tonight.
