Gomez just works hard. Gotta love that kind of wrestler. Got a great shot at a pretty wide open 149 weight class. 

Amine loses in the consolation and is eliminated in the blood round at 165.

Tough loss. The margin on these 30-second ride out matches is too close for the refs to not have a role in the outcome. Why not just keep doing neutral until someone takes someone down?

Team in a clear 2nd heading into the semifinals. A few points to be had in the consolation round that's about to start. 

1. Penn St 84.5

2. Michigan 50.5

3. Arizona St. 44.5

4. Iowa St. 41.5

5. Iowa 40.5

I’m genuinely curious about the female parenthetical qualifier.

He just didn’t like you calling out his AP English infused choppy writing style. He went to an ad hominem reply faster than he could come up with another two word fragment.

On the other hand, I agree that Alex’s breakdowns aren’t doing much for the reader. That and how something (pitiful performances) is happening is less interesting than why, and this blog’s football coverage knows that. Its basketball coverage does not.

Excellent all around…

Excellent all around. Mgoblog is a special place, and Ace is a huge reason why. I love that I can come here and get high level writing and fulfill my sports fandom. I once got in a back and forth with Ace about Jordan  Poole being efficient in the mid range and proceeded to run a Monte Carlo analysis to try to prove my point. I didn’t work that day. I don’t work many days because of here.

This is one of those times where you need to pull back to your preschool educational lessons. If you have nothing nice to say… choose not to be an ass.

Eh, it’s a funny shtick. I like to imagine Putin and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad taking a break from running rogue states and enjoying them some Michigan football and a vodka (for Vlad) and a tea (for Mahmoud). 

Unrelatedly, I also like to imagine Putin finding justice in The Hague.

It’s a hot take. We lack a ball handler. Dug is the only one. I don’t think Burnett is a primary ball handler, and Washington is going to take a bit to get up to D1 pace. As awesome as Dug has been, we still need Llewelyn back.

I love the funny voice Brian says "How ya doin', Jamie?" with. I laugh every time. What is the origin?

Yeah, operating in the gray areas of a questionably advantageous part of the game is totally worse than allowing and even protecting a serial child abuser commit his crimes in the football facilities…

Fucking idiot. That statement is disqualifying. 
 

edit: same sentiment as ^

Really need Jaelin Llewellyn back. It’ll let Dug play on and off the ball, and give him a rest here and there. Also seemed like we needed a second ball handler at times. 

Yes, Olivier Nkamhoua.

This is important to move the conversation toward changing the rules since this is all stupid anyway. Get headsets or mandate wrist bands. We need the coaches and Big Ten ADs to stop pearl clutching and admit that none of this really matters. Perhaps even the NCAA will just go toward a rule change in the end if we can thread this needle.

I’m afraid it’s long sailed. There was a useful post about AP guidelines for using anonymous sources, which ESPN seemingly didn’t follow; but yeah… this is starting to get the intersection of our fan base thats already anti “media” saying some wild things.

I love in the ESPN story when they point out his "military background" in the first sentence or two, as if it's some big boogeyman trait. The entire $800B US DoD budget is being spent for us, you guys.

3, 4, and 5 are versions of 2, and these are indeed important. Eat healthy (mostly plant based) and electrolytes shouldn't be a problem -- meaning you won't need to go out of the way to get more.

However, the most important thing to do is add a stretching regimen throughout. Stretching isn't just a thing you do for a few minutes after warming up or working out. It's a huge part of the workout. Get a foam roller. Roll out each muscle for 30+ seconds. Focus on specific spots that feel tight. Don't just do a long roll on each muscle. Really try to get into the fibers.

Try yoga.

Warm up properly and stay warm during the practice/game, stretch well after warming up. Your warm up should have you sweating. When I played sports in highschool coaches would have us do some calisthenics and then stretch. This is not enough. Stay hydrated. Fire any coach who suggests water is for the weak.

Every tv producer should have a teenaged boy as a consultant.

It's similar to the need for a madden kid on coaching staffs.

He's just a thing to give sports center to talk about. Imagine directing that show. You've got highlights, and you've got "stories" to cover. Highlights are essentially just video proof of the stats everyone can see in real time. A few rise up to be worthy of our eyeballs, but we probably already saw them on social media. But "stories" are important. The play at ESPN is to demonize him, have a panel of people who like and dislike him and argue over it, etc. 

They need you to care about this. And you do, apparently.
