There is nothing like the NCAA tournament. Worlds is cool, the Olympics is cool, but NCAAs is DIFFERENT. I truly believe some of the best foreigners in the world couldn’t handle the NCAA tournament.

🚨 MOM WALKS INTO A SPORTING GOODS STORE AND LOSES HER MIND AFTER SEEING A $500 KIDS BASEBALL BAT — “THIS IS PRICE GOUGING” A mom filming inside a sporting goods store says she thought she was just grabbing a bat for her kid’s season. Then she checked the price tags. One bat on the rack: $500. Right next to it: $450. Then she looks at baseball mitts. One youth glove: $330. “I don’t care what the material is … unless it’s made out of solid gold it ain't worth $300." Next she checks the equipment bags. $450. Parents watching the video say youth sports equipment prices are getting completely out of control. Some say it’s starting to feel less like inflation and more like straight up price gouging targeting families. Between bats, gloves, bags, cleats, and league fees, some parents say a single baseball season can now cost thousands of dollars. Are sports stores price gouging parents… or is this just the new normal?

Every young wrestler should hear this. Olympic champion Jordan Burroughs shares what he calls the “Arcade Perspective.”


I’m told that this video was taken moments before the Cal Baptist’s final dual. An interesting listen, to say the least.

Arizona State has announced that the legendary Coach Bobby Douglas has passed away. Douglas coached Arizona State to a team National Championship in 1988 & was also Cael Sanderson's coach when he won Olympic Gold in 2004. On the mat, Bobby Douglas was a 2x Olympian (1964, 1968) and 2x World Medalist (Silver in 1966 and Bronze in 1977). RIP to a legend in the sport; he will be missed.
