Ugh... Hugs and pizza....Hugs and pizza..

I was 30' from the mat. He was a machine all weekend and definitely stood out. We were cheering for him. Nothing to be ashamed of.....he had it until the last minute and that other kid is a stud. 160 was probably most loaded weight there...


We did witness a rare event...2 4 time champs at the same weight on adjacent mats. Pretty awesome.


Don't hang the heads too long, your family has a lot to celebrate with those careers.

Sorry to hear, Rico. Still a great accomplishment to be there.

6 days left you MU****s. Who gives a shit about basketball. Look at this ****ing team. Should probably place third.

125- McGhee- Unseeded
133- Erneste- 5th seed
141- Eierman- 2nd seed
149- Leeth- 3rd seed (this dude came out of ****ing nowhere)
157- Lavallee- 2nd seed
165- Flynn- Unseeded
174- Lewis- 3rd seed
184- Marriott- 15th seed
197- Miklus- 6th seed

Miklus got a 6th year waiver, so only one senior worth a shit on this stacked team.

I think Lewis could shock the world this week. I’ve got him as one of my picks in most the pools I’m in.

Love this Mizzou lineup.

I started the CP fantasy wrestling pool a couple minutes ago! Join in and enter your picks ASAP!

Oh for crying out loud...I accidentally left the “s” it of “Chiefs.” So it’s ChiefPlanet....:(

Leeth was a monster in HS, just had the neck injury. Johnston’s been good for his style.

Think 33,41,49, 74, and 97 AA with Canten losing in the R12.

Champ picks are
Cruz
Gross
Eierman
Zain
Lavallee
IMar
Valencia
Bo
Haught
Snyder

My picks are:

125: NATO
133: Gross
141: Eierman (almost picked Yianni)
149: Duh...Zain
157: Nolf... I’ve heard so many rumors about how serious or non-serious his injury is... if injury is affecting him to a moderate to severe extent, I’ll go with Hidlay...
165:IMAR
174: Lewis
184: Bo
197: Darmstadt
HWT: Coon

This Kennedy Monday kid who beat Lavallee...is that Kenny Monday’s son? My dad was a huge fan of Monday when I was a kid.

He is, look how pumped he was after the match:

Seems like a cool kid. His dad always seemed cool... they alike, sound alike and seem to carry themselves the same way. Nostalgia...cool stuff. And this kid is a Freshman!! Wow...

Well, these picks were a lot worse than the ones I put in my pools at work for $...thank God.

Lot of crazy shit has happened this week.

Did anyone see Austin DeSanto (best known for beating Spencer Lee in the finals in Lee’s Senior year when he was wrestling to become a 4 time state champion last year) try to break Stevan Micic’s arm with a Jiu Jitsu Kimura bar?!?? This happened in the last 10 seconds when DeSanto knew it was over. That kid is literally insane. If he’s not autistic, he’s a punk ass!

I watched a bunch of interviews of those two after that. There is something up with that DeSanto kid...he’s not right. Micic was cool, calm and collected as hell in his interview...and funny. He said stuff like, “well, he must not be used to taking an ass beating like that” and “man, when he beat me earlier this year, I had just lost to Pletcher and didn’t want to be on the mat afterwards, but 10 minutes later I have to wrestle that kid (DeSanto) who wrestles all crazy and in your face and tries to break your arm. It’s weird, if you don’t give him your right arm, he can’t shoot, which I feel bad, for there might be something wrong with him.” I dunno if that’s word for word, but it was a good interview... I’ll have to dig some of these up and embed.

There is a lot of serious debate as to whether DeSanto has autism right now and how he should be handled because of it....there is definitely something wrong with him.

Oh, and speaking of Spencer Lee...holy cow that kid shocked the hell out of me yesterday. I didn’t think beating NATO like that was possible.
