Ok, hear me out: -2pt takedown -1pt reversal -No NF counts. Just exposure = 2pts -No escape point. If no turn after 10-15 sec, back to feet -No penalty for locked hands -1pt step out -4pts feet to back -Two 3min periods -Red/blue instead of green/red Feels like this could work.

Overwhelmed with emotion. Went to find a deserted hallway in the back to compose myself and look who’s in the same spot, doing the same thing. It’s been a long year. Very grateful. #KeepStanfordWrestling

Here you’ve got a 5x World & Olympic champ seeking out help from a 20-year-old. Younger wrestlers, take note. The best in the world are coachable. They never stop learning. Don’t ever let your ego get in the way of your ability to improve.

This is pretty cool. Daton Fix shows Jordan Burroughs how he hits his trap arm gut. #FixFriday

Still processing, but we will keep our heads on a swivel and fight this. Stanford has made this decision with wrestling in the past and each time, the program has come back stronger.

Ryan Mango is a prime example of the way Stanford Wrestling acts as a catalyst for student-athletes from diverse backgrounds, atypical of the backgrounds of the majority of Stanford students. #KeepStanfordWrestling @usawrestling @gostanford @stanford @stanfordalumni

Oh, the old half shot to a spin out to a go behind to the far side cross pummel / helicopter hips drill. Paying off when it matters most. Classic.

A garden variety go-behind by Mr. @Air_Valencia. Best part is that he went for this in overtime at the NCAA Championships!

Well in the least shocking news of the day, the Stanford wrestling coaches and athletic trainer—currently overseeing 23 student-athletes on a 15-day road trip—were not offered any bonuses. #SaveStanfordSports #KeepStanfordWrestling

BREAKING: Stanford gave bonuses to staff members who traveled with its football and basketball teams during the pandemic — drawing criticism from the group fighting to save 11 Cardinal teams slated for elimination. trib.al/1GpDoMk

Here it is. He was asked about being a part of Stanford's first dual back after their program was nearly dropped.

💯 Regardless of intention, this is the first time anyone from @Stanford has asked to meet with us all year, and it happened to be the President. Proves we’re making progress. Now, we can’t and won’t take our feet off the gas pedal. #KeepStanfordWrestling #36SportsStrong

That's a big deal that the Pres is finally willing to engage!
