Wrestling NCAA Wrestling

I just ordered it. I wonder how many buys this will get. The advertising was horrible, I didn't even know it was going on.
 
Main event was pretty lackluster.

2-1 Nolf with all 3 points coming from the shot clock.

Oliver was too quick for Nolf to really commit to a shot and Nolf was too long for Oliver to get close to the legs.

Sanders vs Richard's was a very fun match though.
 
Is Jordan Oliver good enough to win international tournaments?

I heard that his style works well for collegiate wrestling, but not so much in a freestyle setting.

Why is this?

I feel lazy and don't want to watch him wrestle lol
 
Yes he's good enough to be competitive against the best. America has at least 3 guys at 65kg who on any day could medal. But at the same time, in any day, they could lose one and be done.

I think most people thought his style would be great for freestyle. He beat Asgorov at Beat the Streets one year and had a very competitive match with Chamizo another year.

One he first got on the Senior circuit he couldn't get past Metcalf (think he beat him once at the US Open.

I thought he was going to be our rep in 2016 but he completely gassed against Pico after taking a big lead.

Than one year he got popped for Adderall and was suspended for a year.
 
Stanford cut wrestling and ten other sports this morning. Citing COVID19 loss of $

Cuts will take place at the conclusion of the 20-21 school year.
 
OK, scanned the forums of TheMat and this is what I gleaned:

- FLO has not been covering women's wrestling. The push is that it's hard to develop a larger fan base if FLO, the country's largest wrestling media outlet isn't covering the sport.

- A member of the Women's national team stated that a representative of FLO asked for bikini pics from the women on the team. I assume he wanted to go the old "sex sells" route for marketing.

- Pat Downey said something on Twitter. I don't do twitter, so I am not sure what he said. Sounded like he wanted to play the heel. So, not sure if his real opinion or if he is "in character".

With the NCAA recently recognizing women's wrestling as a emerging sport; since we had the same amount of Olympic gold medalists in men's and women's freestyle; since we had more women's gold medalist in last year's world championships, it would make sense that FLO would have more women's coverage.
 
Who should replace him against Taylor on the 25th?

Miles Martin and Nate Jackson have volunteered. I'd rather see Martin take on Taylor than Jackson.


I'd really like to see Bo against Taylor but it's probably not in the cards.

Zahid would be awesome as well.
