Foley's Friday Mailbag for 2/1/19

[Tom McAndrew]

a Q&A about the PSU - Michigan dual, where Foley gives his predictions for each match

For those keeping track, this is week 122, and despite promises he tweeted, no response to Flo's article about Olympic reffing corruption from Foley.

Mike C was back on his game, as he had 3 of the 6 questions.

Massa dec. JOSEPH. That must be his upset pick.

 

[NittanyChris]

Wow. Idiot picks Storr, Massa AND Parris.
How dumb can you be?

 

[HOCKEYGOD11]

None of those would be huge upsets although to go for all 3 would be quite a surprise..

 

[El-Jefe]

He also picked Iran over Iowa in the safest area competition.

 

[Cowbell Man]

All three losing is rather improbable.

Why didn’t he pick RBY as an upset....he seems to like the underdog so much. Based on past matches I’m surprised amine over Hall wasn’t picked instead.

 

[nerfstate]

Picking a Hall Major over Amine shows how little he understands NCAA wrestling. To say nothing of Bisono or Rasheed getting a major. Just lazy.

 

[El-Jefe]

Also it would mean Hall has a variety of attacks, which Foley said wasn't true.

 

[yekrut321]

Wow. Idiot picks Storr, Massa AND Parris.
How dumb can you be?

He is not dumb.....enlightened!! We can only attain his level of knowledge and enlightenment only when we are sipping tea in a yurt while in a 3rd world nation....Iowa does not qualify...its not safe...so he says!

Foley must have forgotten to pay his Grammarly bill. Perhaps someone can decipher these for me:

"The only long-term option that will satisfy fines and the NCAA..." Fines?! Is that a typo or what fines is Foley talking about?

"...which makes them simple for the league to sell against on linear channels." Where is E. B. White when we need him?

 

[aalion]

Most of us know he meant "fans" not "fines"... not surprised you don't.

 

[jammenz]

Most of us know he meant "fans" not "fines"... not surprised you don't.

So you think that he is saying "The only long-term option that will satisfy fans and the NCAA is to fully eliminate dual meets...". I guess that I didn't know that eliminating dual meets would satisfy fans or the NCAA.

Must have forgotten to set his voice-to-text to Abro Drunk Posting.

Nice selective editing. It also says “.... or come up with an insentive to make dual meets matter”. What he is saying is that as long as there isn’t any great incentive to win duals, or more accurately that there are duals that can easily be won even without a top wrestler, wrestlers might be held out. And fans will complain.
