TripleB Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 After years of fighting it... Dake finally initiated an offensive move. His muscles, not used to such motions and use all ruptured.

We'll never see another offensive attempt again from Dake again.... TripleB, Coming from an overweight former heavyweight who never won a high school state title and was not exactly known for lighting up the scoreboard himself, I find it quite amusing that you would find the need to bust Dake's balls. He is, after all, one of the greatest college wrestlers in the history of the sport. A 4x NCAA champion at 4 different weight classes, without a redshirt. Has beaten former World Champion Denis Tsargush. Has beaten many NCAA champions in his brief career to this point (Molinaro, St. John, Howe, Paulsen, Taylor). Has beaten countless NCAA All-Americans. Not to mention wins over World Team Member Reece Humphrey, Olympian Jake Deitchler, and the only guy to beat Jordan Burroughs, Nick Marable. About the only guy left to beat at this point is Jordan Burroughs, and Dake came oh so close last year at the Trials that I believe that will happen at some point before its said and done. Oh yea, and on top of all that the kid has an Ivy League degree and a 6 figure a year endorsement deal and he wrestles and coaches wrestling for a living.. What more does the guy have to do? How about a little respect? -Eric McGill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maligned Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Senior-level wrestlebacks/placement matches and Junior-level winners' bracket/wrestlebacks start at noon eastern/11am central. Championships for all three US Open senior categories (freestyle, greco, women) will be live on Universal Sports Network (tv and online) at 10pm eastern/9pm central. I'm not sure what time finals for the juniors are. All mats should be broadcast all day on flowrestling.com if you have a Flo Pro account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Someone said on the national boards that the reason Howe didn't wrestle at the US Open was because of attendance requirements in his current grad school class or classes. They said he's carrying a 4.0 and would have lost a letter grade with whatever course(s) he's working on now. He'll be at the world team trials for sure, though. Sounds like he's a real dummy. I have to question his level of commitment to success in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
