Bloodround Wrestling

Episode #500 is here!!! Tommy & Kevin sit down to hang out and discuss how the accidental podcast got to 500 episodes over almost 11 years. Thanks everyone! open.spotify.com/episode/1PvRLr…

@silas_allred Haha allowed!

@Bloodround Can I bet on myself?

Which college wrestler weighs the most over their weight class right now?

Three of my roommates my last year at that school in Norfolk were on the sailing team. Loved their passion for the sport, their love of the water and their dedication to their craft (no pun intended). I also grew up near CNU and really like the place ... but hate cutting sports

I hate dropping any sport and @CNUathletics back in Newport News just dropped sailing, which while not an NCAA sport, it's an Olympic sport with a collegiate league (ICSA). cnusports.com/news/2026/3/23…

@coach_wendell @Bloodround @Jagger712 Never forget. Nothing will ever compare

It’s 2026 and I’m still not followed by J’den Cox

@Jagger712 Pfarr, Moore and Haught though?

Today, I’m announcing a decision that has not come easy. Wrestling has been a part of my identity for as long as I can remember. This sport built me. It shaped my discipline, resilience, toughness, and mindset. It gave me lifelong friendships, unforgettable highs, hard lessons through adversity, and a standard for how I approach life every single day! But sometimes in life, all you need is an opportunity. First, you have to recognize it. Second, you have to have the courage to ATTACK it. This was simply an opportunity I could not ignore. I’ve accepted the position as Vice President of Sales for the state of Wisconsin with Home Pro Roofing. This opportunity will bless my family in ways I never imagined possible, and after a lot of reflection and many conversations with my wife and kids, I knew it was the right step forward. Stepping away from coaching was not a decision I made lightly. In truth, I never thought I would. I’m stepping away from an incredible team and a group of young men I care deeply for — but I’m also stepping into another incredible team. I now have the opportunity to build and lead a group of highly motivated, hungry individuals across the state of Wisconsin, and that challenge excites me! I want to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to Chris Bono specifically. Fifteen years of loyalty, growth, adversity, championships, rebuilding years, and everything in between. We’ve been side by side through it all. I wouldn’t have wanted to go through those battles with anyone else. I’m forever grateful for the trust, the leadership, and the friendship. The good news is — I’m not going anywhere. I’ll still be in the Madison area. My family loves the state of Wisconsin! And while I may be stepping away from the mat, I’m not stepping away from the mindset. What excites me most about Home Pro Roofing is the culture. The team is made up largely of former wrestlers — disciplined, competitive, tough and hungry individuals who know how to work and serve others. My kind of people! Home Pro Roofing has built a very strong presence in both Michigan and Ohio, and now we’re building something special here in Wisconsin. I have the privilege of leading that charge! And here’s where it gets exciting. I will be aggressively recruiting sales professionals who want more — more growth, more opportunity, and more impact. Especially former wrestlers and competitors who still have that fire but are looking for a new arena to compete in! Former wrestlers and athletes — if you still have that competitive fire but are looking for a place to channel it, I’d love to connect! I am quickly building a team of high character, competitive, disciplined, hard-working winners here in Wisconsin. If that sounds like you, send me a message. LET’S TALK! Wrestling taught me that the best rewards come from stepping into the uncomfortable and betting on yourself. This is me doing exactly that. Grateful for the past.
Excited for the future.
Ready to build. WIN THE DAY!

@SpeyWrestle @cruiser96 Constellation bracket and expedition matches

@cruiser96 Et cetera, not eksetra. But also I don’t mind either way.

PSA 1. Espresso - not expresso 2. Especially - not expecially 3. Escape - not excape I don’t know, man. This isn’t on the level of potato or potato, or data or data. This is on the level of addzing lettehrs that aren’t acthually in the woerd. (Do you see what I did there?)

Nasir Bailey reveals that he has had two hand surgeries within the last year, including one on January 31st. The junior still finished third at the Big Ten tournament and reached the Round of 12 at the national tournament.

@jasonmbryant Light work for you, sir.

@Bloodround Maaaaaaan, I said I was taking a couple days off.

@jasonmbryant we had 3 foreign born AA's. (2 Cuba, 1 Canada). What's the record for most in a season?

@ShaneSparksBTN @MatthewModine

Happy 67th birthday to Louden Swain! Hope you had a great day Louden. @MatthewModine

Weird factoid: Michigan High school wrestlers win national championships, but not for Michigan teams. The last is Casey Cunningham in 1999 (Central Michigan). Last for other schools: Mark Churella 1979 (Michigan) Doug Wyn 1974 (Western Michigan) Greg Johnson 1972 (Michigan St)

@ChanceBaysinger @morganobrien @jasonmbryant Fuck yeah. And this was the mid 90's so we really didn't know what we were getting. Neighbor girl asked him to homecoming before another girl could get a look at him.

@Bloodround @morganobrien @jasonmbryant Your dad

@ChanceBaysinger @morganobrien @jasonmbryant My dad was a coach. They asked us to emergency help with a German kid who's host family dropped last minute. He got off the plane jacked with a photo album how he was a cadet national greco champ. We kept him 😁

@morganobrien @Bloodround @jasonmbryant When I was a high school coach my dream was to fill the team with Eastern European and Western Asian exchange students.

@JP1582 Yes, you are very at fault here 😂

@Bloodround Thanks Tommy for reminding of my 2 losses. 😂😂

@leftystrat5 @rossbchek @MatScouts1 Set the scoring record and win 13 of the last 15 to be disappointed

@Bloodround @rossbchek @MatScouts1 It’s funny because there actually are some people in their fan base that are upset. lol

Per @MatScouts1: Iowa was the top team to wrestle above their seed. The Hawks had two wrestlers who came in as double-digit seeds and made the podium (#15 Ryder Block and #27 Gabe Arnold).

Two dusty Silverados well over their 100,000 mile warranties. Warriors

@Kem_Daughg65 almost died last night! 😆

@leftystrat5 @rossbchek @MatScouts1 Only 4 champs and 8 All-Americans. People have to be upset

@rossbchek @MatScouts1 Cael 🔥🥵🪑
