    Fifth year Eligibility - Levi, Mendes

    Agreed. Cranky, robed judges or not, Levi ain’t leavin’ the room anytime soon. And I rather enjoy the increasingly rare fact that this absolute stud’s knockout NCAA placements (2-1-3-1) started a year after his HS prom and ended as a 21-year-old. We may not see a younger timeline of greatness...

    Willie's 2027 Crystal Ball - Final PreSeason Edition

    Not sure where to put this, but . . . Watched a video on the upcoming Cowboy season and was impressed. Not fond of praising our top rival, but not afraid to, either. Pushing its Stilly Boys brand as a hip, video-centric catalog of human-interest stories about the team and its members seems...

    Where Ya Been?

    No We Are’s hiking last week in British Columbia, but we did come across this big fella in a high mountain meadow. A solo female hiker (with her dog) alerted us to the grizzly as we emerged from the forest. Minutes later, a trail runner joined us. The woman yelled down that the bear was at the...

    ONO

    Your joyful presence, fun avatar, insights, and interactions here prove you are not “excluded from a group by the agreement of the group’s members.” And Masa not wrestling is not tragic (merely disappointing as F). Ostracized? Far from it. Your fondness for melodrama only adds to this board’s...

    Why Social Media is enriching our lives, while it eats away at the fabric of our society.

    DT may be Lion enemy #1, but I love the Stilly Sheep Show video I stumbled on. It’s Taylor and his adorable daughters grooming sheep for an award show one of the girl’s wins that evening. Guessing his wife is one of the women in the vid. No farm guy in any way, it was cool seeing the whole...

    EARLY 2026-27 lineup projections/discussions

    Saying a freshman who beat a national runnerup and 2-time national champ in succession was gifted a title is Sunday-morning-before-coffee silly. ;)

    57kg field in 2028

    Troll who loves Luke thinks it begins and ends with Spencer. My prediction about a high school freshman I watched 12 years ago seeks validation. None of the tweeners mentioned will be a factor if they even attempt the perilous descent. Spencer’s spot to lose, and only if, well, Lightning strikes. ;)

    Ferrari sentenced

    BOOM! Don’t be alarmed. We were tip-toeing toward politics. I’m just slamming the door. You're welcome. ;)

    '26 U20 World Championships (8/16 - 23) thread

    Kiss of death to mention four before winning one, but you went and did it anyway. Take it back now! :cautious:

    Real American Freestyle

    Olympics are a vision quest requiring life-juggling commitment. RAF is a lucrative, guaranteed paycheck requiring only prior achievement and a semblance of effort or training (see Nickal). Love to see Jason do both. Doubt he will. :cautious:

    '26 U20 World Championships (8/16 - 23) thread

    Duke didn’t lose. Robideau didn’t cheat. Referee didn’t make a mistake. Replay officials did.

    '26 U20 World Championships (8/16 - 23) thread

    Watched replay of Bassett’s matches. Just wow! Not that upset we didn’t get him, but pettily glad Hawks didn’t either. If he wrestles that relentlessly in NCAA folk, he’ll be nothing but a joy to watch. Seems not only to have Mesenbrink’s motor, but even another gear, if possible and not too...

    Where Ya Been?

    Soft spot for Montana’s Glacier NP—seen most of my grizzlies there—but do agree with you and @Aardvark86 that Canadian Rockies may be more thrilling and accessible. Son and I plan to return next month for hikes in the other Glacier NP (British Columbia), Yoho NP, and Banff NP. First time there a...

    Penn State legend David Taylor on his Oklahoma State program possibly facing the Lions one day: 'We’ll save one date every year'

    Ah, the ever amusing sidebar to this fresh and fabulous competitive dynamic between pupil and mentor: With DT’s two NCs year one, three frosh NCs and 131 points in March, and a measured, intelligent delivery when interviewed, the envy in Iowa over not acting before OKSt’s sugar daddy got...

    Penn State legend David Taylor on his Oklahoma State program possibly facing the Lions one day: 'We’ll save one date every year'

    I initially “liked” support for DT’s challenge, but on reflection, I don’t want a dual, especially with a jab shaded to look like Cael’s ducking. I prefer the anticipation of the season’s first meeting between a Lion and Cowboy being at the NCAAs in March. That said, I like DT’s work to build a...
