Just out here looking for someone as perfect as my mom.

@TheReattack @Bloodround That's my bad, I thought we were looking for places known for wrestling, not flying.

@Mrsspoon22 Sounds good maybe on the way I’ll stop to beat up a cop, solicit sex from a sex trafficking victim, do steroids and then try to fuck an underage girl so that I get the real nittany lion safe sport experience ❤️

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Let the women wrestle as physically tough as their male counterparts.

I love watching the women compete. I HATE how every hard club is called for “being too rough”.

Let them scrap!! This is wrestling!!

@JLewis320 @_wrestlersgrind I'm moreso referencing the public hate for doing something ridiculous.

In a male-dominated sport, Kennedy Blades worked nonstop to become the best wrestler she could be.

Representing Team USA at the Olympics and winning silver was a dream but she’s not finished - she’s ready to run it back and chase gold 🙌

One of the many reasons I respect Coach Doug Schwab of Northern Iowa. This came following last year’s National Duals, when a reporter asked him whether he liked the idea of keeping the event a “mid-major” tournament. Schwab responded in a way that only he could.

Keep in mind, this interview took place immediately after Northern Iowa had just beaten Nebraska in a dual. UNI finished last season 14–1 in duals, with their only loss coming against Oklahoma State.

Yes, the term “mid-major” technically exists in wrestling, though it’s far more commonly associated with sports like football and basketball. Today, the first mid-major coaches poll of the season was released, which prompted this discussion again.
Here is the link for reference:

Honestly, Schwab makes a very valid point. I’ve never really understood the need for a separate “mid-major” ranking in wrestling. This isn’t a sport where that distinction serves much purpose. In other sports—and correct me if I’m wrong—it seems to exist mostly for administrative or promotional reasons. Maybe it guarantees exposure for programs that would otherwise be buried beneath Big Ten, Big 12, or ACC brands. Maybe it helps generate content, headlines, and engagement.

But in wrestling, many of these so-called “mid-major” programs already compete in power conferences like the Big 12.

So I genuinely don’t understand why this ranking even exists, or why coaches are asked to rank teams this way at all. Coaches already have to participate in polls as it is—but that’s probably a separate discussion altogether.

@Maurice_Handcox I think this stat factors in all the Bears fans combined..

@_willcompton Is there a very real world where Nebraska loses out?
