Lockhaven tomorrow

What conspiracy do you think?
I don't know. I just don't agree with your explanation as Goodie has never done that before. Do you go to the matches? How many times have you seen people streaming out after a marquee matchup?
 
Because the matches at 133 and 141 (on paper) were by far the two best matchups and would keep people in their seats for all 10 bouts. This is common place is duals where one team is heavily favored.
Except 141 didn’t even happen.. we shoulda had 33 as last match.. u said give props our team didn’t have Barbosa/Poz but didn’t mention in our 8-2 win, lockhaven didn’t have their 125/141 starters either.

Some dual meet will adjust starting weight class n keep best match last.. it’s true… problem is that 133 shoulda been the last match.. I guess Goodie didn’t know Henson wasn’t going to go(and y didn’t he?).

Section 8. Determining Wrestling Order — Dual Meets Art. 1. Protocol. Immediately after the weigh-in for a dual meet or multiple dual meets conducted on the same day, coaches may mutually agree to determine the starting weight class for the matches If coaches cannot agree on the starting weight class, they will execute a coin toss. The winner of the coin toss will have the choice to select either the starting weight class or the odd/even matches.

My guess is they could not agree on the starting weight class (Goodale, 90% of the time wants to start at 125). I would bet Lock Haven won the toss and picked the starting weight. Maybe he wanted to see what the score was and would use Henson if they had a chance to win the dual.

I usually go to a couple a year and have seen people start heading to the doors when heavyweight starts, assuming the dual is locked up. Goodale typically wants to start at 125 but it’s not a mandate and it’s not entirely up to him anyway. The marquee match at 141 didn’t happen but it seems rather coincidental that the two best matchups on paper were slated at the end of the dual. I wouldn’t look too much into it.
 
Because he doesn’t coach at Lock Haven and isn’t a psychic
I mean they did announce it would be Henson going at the match.. I’m confused on why he gotta be a psychic and why the match didn’t happen even though it was promoted like it would have…
 
While I don't disagree with your points about being aggressive and strength training but Donny was here last year and the same guys had the same issues so he isn't the x-factor\impact. Clark, White, Olivieri, etc. all have extremely limited offensive skill sets and it's been that way since high school. None of them were high scoring guys (against legitimate opponents at least) and they never developed them, which severely limits their upside unfortunately. This makes it very difficult to upset someone higher ranked but it also allows them to get upset by lesser opponents because one fluke take down could put the match out of reach. We've seen this happen time and time again.

I think the issue around strength and conditioning is due to Goodale's overall philosophy and not making guys cut a ton of weight. The guys are clearly putting in the work in the gym and training hard (for example a guy like Poz basically lives in the weight room) but he probably needs to at 184 to be his most effective.. same with Soldano, etc.. many of our guys are always severely smaller than their opponents and get out-muscled far too often which again limits the teams upside.
I'm in favor of not forcing excessive weight cutting.

Why are you confused? It's as simple as LH didn't send out Henson.

bc he was announced to go? Guess we should just expect wrestlers to not show up even if they are announced to go.. it really is the norm now.

How the hell do you expect Goodale to know who Lock Haven is sending out? He’s not a matchmaker. He sends his wrestler out. Lock Haven sends their guy out. It wasn’t Henson. How is that Goodales fault?

Did I blame it on Goodale? I simply said I was confused why Henson didn’t go.. learn to read before u jump on ppl.

What do you mean announced to go? LH coaches didn't send him out. Idk if it was a 🦆 or something else.

Wng said Henson was announced to go idk. Was he on the injury report? Prolly not. My guess he was listed to go then for some unknown reason LH decided not to wrestle him. I Don’t dare suggest it was a duck as to more he prolly wasn’t 100% so why wrestle a meaningless match.
 
Well then I apologize for misunderstand what you were questioning
All good, I wrote it in a confusing way.. shoulda said (and y didn’t Henson go?). I just get upset when a good matchup is advertised to go and it doesn’t happen for one reason or another…

Don't argue with mr. wrestling and part time, low rent detective. It's usually guys like this who never did anything who always criticized. Just another jock rider.
 
For your information I asked Poz at practice what weight he walked around with this summer and he said 230
WOW.... I was 225 4 months ago and now i am 190.
Its doable poz...cut 25% of your body weight.....OK, Maybe not
PS....mine was fat and not the Muscles POz has

Thank you WNG for the information. Looking forward to the Wisconsin Match...It is my once a year trek to the RAC.
Step SOn always buys me wrestling tickets for my birthday. Think I got primo seats this year..havent cheked

Funny how simple observations are now subject to backlash and childish remarks from the regal authority. Who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?

These are nice seats. Row A is the first row above the floor row. Section 102 is at the corner of the mat.

We will drub Wisconson, idk what happened to that program, but go to Illinois instead, if u can, if u wanna c a more competitive match. If u can’t make it or enjoy drubbings then yeah Wisconson.
 
The problem is there's no emphasis on constantly attacking and strength training. I don't know if it is the recruits or the current culture of the program. All I know is when Donny was here we had some guys who were relentless attackers and wrestled way above their high school pedigree Ala Gravina and Lewis. You definitely have to mention coaching. This team has made a nosedive since Donny left.
Nosedive because Donny left? haha...What a Drama Queen

If you want to see a real nosedive Program look at Columbia and how they didn't have 1 Wrestler make the 2nd day at Vegas Tournament and finished almost dead last. Last season Columbia had 4 wrestlers make 2nd day and finished middle of pack

I also think their FREE attendance has dropped from 37 fans to 18

Hmm maybe they r planning to flip flop weights
Poz is dinged up...If they were thinking of switching weights Soldano would not have weighed in at 187 Friday night. He weighed that low so he can make 184 next weekend. And Poz would not have even weighed in Friday at 197. Poz would not be eligible to go 184 for 3 or 4 weeks. Can only lose 1.5% of body weight per week

While we beat up LH they are a good team. Wisconsin however is a dumpster fire. Bono needs to go.
Agreed, not sure how Wisconson fell off so fast.. they are probably the worst team in the b10 Rn .. dunno how Bono still got a job there tbh

It went south after there was a falling out with the Askrens and all of the top recruits in the state typically train at AWA. They haven't been landing any of those guys anymore and they are going out of state. Plus elite recruits such as Braxton Amos (#1 p4p in his class) went there and haven't developed/fell off the face the earth. Literally the elite/top guys in the state are listing/considering Wisconsin-La Crosse over Madison. It's ugly right now.
