wait they're changing the center line rule

saw this on the ncaa website. starting this season if your foot fully crosses the center line it's an automatic fault, doesn't matter if you interfere or not that's gonna be a lot of whistles. also teams only switch benches after the second set now, no more switching at 8 points in the fifth. just pick your side and stay. d2 and d3 get 18 subs now instead of 15. anyone else just finding out about these or am i late.

newhook is just different

I watched that game last night and my jaw is still on the floor. Second time this dude wins a game 7 in these playoffs. first against Tampa, now this just drove up the left side and ripped it through traffic, goalie never saw it. We were up 2-0. looked good then buffalo fought back tied it in the third. I was sweating just watching. Dobes made 37 saves and was a wall in ot. Newhook said after the game that's why you play. Bro is built for this. now we get Carolina. They've been sitting there for like two weeks. haven't lost a game yet, that's scary

tried to do a spin and ended up on my butt

I've been practicing spins for a few weeks and finally felt ready to try one in front of people at public skate, big mistake. got up on my toe, started rotating, felt great for like two seconds then my brain forgot how to balance. next thing I knew i was on the ice staring at the ceiling. A kid skated by and asked if i was okay. i said yeah and pretended I meant to do that. I got up and tried again and fell even harder. My dignity is still recovering, the kid gave me a thumbs up after not sure if that was encouragement or pity. won't be trying that again in public for a while.

Pac-12 getting paid less than the big 12 still haunts me

Honestly I think about that all the time, like how did that happen. The pac-12 had Usc, Ucla, Oregon, Washington, huge brands, huge markets. and somehow the big 12 with Texas and Oklahoma and a bunch of other schools pulled way more money. reading about it now and apparently the pac-12's media strategy was just a disaster, they turned down a chance to add San Diego state and smu when they could have and the guy they hired to negotiate their tv deal was a college friend of the commissioner, not a real heavy hitter. meanwhile the big 12 just kept it simple with espn and fox and let their schools keep local rights . By the time the big ten took usc and ucla, the gap was already huge. The pac-12 was offering something like 20 to 30 million per school while the big ten was talking 60 to 80 million that's not a small difference that's existential.

no throws match, i'm so confused

They announced a match between Shota seita and To-y where you're not allowed to use any throws, no suplexes, no body slams, no hip tosses, nothing. how does that even work. are you just supposed to punch each other for 15 minutes, do submissions count? can you still do takedowns? they said "throws" specifically so maybe judo style trips and sweeps are fine but any lift and drop is banned. Part of me thinks this is gonna be a weird technical masterpiece where they have to get creative. Other part thinks it's gonna be two guys standing there not knowing what to do.

man wrestling is a lot right now

Darby Allin defended against Sammy Guevara on collision and now he's got speedball Mike bailey on wednesday, dude is wrestling every week. He's gonna run himself into the ground but I respect it. TNA had a big show too, Cedric alexander beat Leon slater for the x division title. Slater was one day away from breaking the record, that's rough then Fabian Aichner showed up after the match to stare him down. Roman vs Fatu is not over. Fatu attacked him again after backlash, now Roman has to respond on raw tomorrow. someone said they might do a rematch at clash in italy.

how do you stop your stance from being a complete mess

My standup is all over the place now, wrestling wants me low and heavy. Judo wants me upright for throws. Bjj wants me somewhere in between I keep hesitating between a shot and a throw and just end up doing nothing and getting taken down. my posture is a disaster, one round I'm bent over like a wrestler keeping my hips back, next round I'm standing straight for judo and suddenly I'm getting blasted with double legs. for anyone who trains all three do you focus on one at a time or try to blend them together also how do you stop mixing up grips between gi and no gi.

Cristobal said something that stuck with me

Miami's coach was talking about the portal and nil the other day and said something that hit different. he said the days of hoarding talent are over. Teams can't stack depth anymore because players just leave if they're not playing. He also said the gap between the top teams and everyone else has closed a lot because the teams that used to have third and fourth string guys who could start anywhere don't have that advantage anymore. Those guys just transfer somewhere they can actually play. it's adapt or die he said, kinda harsh but feels true. The whole landscape is different now. Coaches have to build relationships every year because rosters turn over so fast. You can't just recruit well and let the system run itself anymore.

ref always seem to know what you're about to do

You ever feel like the ref is reading your mind, like you set up an attack you've been working on all week and as soon as you go the ref is already saying "non" before you even finish. Someone told me that experienced refs watch your shoulders not your blade. That they can see you start to shift your weight before you move. also heard that telegraphing your footwork is a dead giveaway even if you hide the blade.

how do you actually get consistent

I've been playing for a while now and some days I feel great. Drives are tight, volleys are crisp. Other days I can't hit the same shot twice in a row, same opponent, same court, nothing changed except my brain I guess. coach says I rush when I get nervous but i don't even feel nervous. anyone have a drill that helped them lock in day to day.

who's actually winning it this year

season's been going for a while now and I still have no idea who's gonna take it. Vixens are undefeated and look unbeatable sometimes but they've also had some close calls that could have gone the other way. Fever have Romelda back and she's still scoring for fun. firebirds are always there. Swifts have Nweke who can just win games by herself.

Just watched my first Dragon Gate show

I've been watching new Japan for years but finally tried dragon gate this week. These guys move so fast i couldn't keep up. Three pin reversals in like four seconds. I was laughing cause I had no idea what just happened. I don't really know who the top stars are yet but the energy is fun. It feels different from the strong style I'm used to. anyone got a match recommendation from the last month so I know who to watch.

still can't believe some of these stories are real

I was reading about old school ribs last night and man those guys were something else. Mr fuji used to slip laxatives in people's coffee and watch them run to the bathroom right before their match . Also heard he nailed a guy's underwear to the ceiling just because he could. The man was incorrigible. They didn't play around back then, wild times.

hand setting outside is impossible

Indoor i can set just fine, get outside and the wind picks up and suddenly my hands forget how to work. Ball either spins like crazy or I double contact it. Coach says to use my legs more and keep my hands soft but when the ball is moving in the air I panic. I heard that setting in beach is way stricter than indoor and refs will call anything that looks close. anyone have a tip for setting clean when it's windy or do you just bump set everything and stop trying to be fancy.

nothing humbles you like getting counter attacked into oblivion

I had a game last weekend where we just couldn't stop their transition. Every time we shot they were already swimming the other way. coach was yelling but our legs were already dead. Lost by like ten goals. Its like we were playing a different sport. Anyway just needed to vent. anyone else had a game like that.

still not over it

Rangers won the title and the city just won't calm down, fans stood in the rain until 2am to welcome them home. Now they're doing a whole rally before the team heads to kelowna. The golden keys are playing the mayor is gonna talk. whole team gets introduced one last time. Sam o'reilly won playoff mvp, 28 points in 18 games. Bro was just everywhere and the coach is finnish? first european coach to win an ohl title. that's pretty cool.

the handshake line after a loss is the most awkward part of league night

Guys have you ever just bowled terribly, couldn't find the pocket all night, left ten pins every frame, lost by like 80 pins and now you have to walk over to the other team and shake their hands while they tell you "good game" like you didn't just embarrass yourself. Some guys are cool about it, quick handshake and move on. Others want to give you advice like "keep your hand behind the ball" while you're standing there dying inside, just take the win and let me leave. You can't skip it either, that would be bad sportsmanship or you just smile through it and pretend you're fine. Weirdest tradition in bowling but I guess it keeps people humble.

that moment when the wind picks up and you realize you're in trouble

Hi, you ever look at the water before you launch and think "yeah this is fine." then you get to the middle of the lake and suddenly the wind is howling and waves are coming over your bow. You're paddling as hard as you can and barely moving forward maybe even going backwards. This literally happened to me last weekend, its like the lake was personally mad at me. Ended up landing on the opposite side from my car and had to walk back along the road carrying all my gear. Checked the forecast before I left too, said light winds, never trusting that again.

nobody fights off their back anymore

I've noticed sometimes guys get taken down and just accept it. They don't bridge, they don't fight for hand control, they just flatten out and wait for the ref to call the two. I get that sometimes the takedown is clean and there's nothing you can do but other times they give up way too easy. Its like the scramble is dead, nobody wants to risk getting turned so they just take the two and move on. Not saying it's bad wrestling just different than even ten years ago.

the portal window is finally moving

good news for once, just saw that the oversight committee approved moving the softball transfer portal window to after the world series. It starts june 8th and ends june 22nd, fifteen days just like before but way better timing. Old window opened which is literally in the middle of regionals . Imagine trying to focus on winning games while also fielding calls from coaches who want your players. Teams like Alabama and Nebraska are still competing for a title, now they can actually finish their season before dealing with the portal. Common sense finally won.
