Speaker 1 (00:31):
All right, guys, it is yet another week for ACC
Wrestling.
We are on round number two.
We got the guys heading out toStanford.
This is Cav Corner number two.
It's something we decided tocover, I think we kind of talked
about in the beginning, so wewon't dive into that too much.
But they're heading out toStanford, going to Palo Alto

(00:53):
kind of a new travel for thoseguys this year.
I think since those guys joinedthe ACC it'll be a good duel.
The one odd thing that I didnotice about Stanford is they
don't have a 125.
Not sure why that is.
Couldn't tell you.
Roster struggles, I guess whoknows, who knows, unless the
coach tells you right.

(01:13):
And that's the same thing withus when we're kind of going with
the theme of trying to figureout who's going to be going,
when I know, just going aroundsome of the school year here,
there's been a lot of illnesses.
There's been a lot of guys downthat's in high school, that's
not even just at UVA, that'severywhere right now.
So I'm sure they're going to bedealing with some illnesses, I

(01:33):
think, this week.
But we do have a decent lineupstill, you know, just to kind of
go off of and know what they'regoing to do.
I know just that I'm kind ofusing track wrestling anyways
just to kind of see what theyhave up here for um, uh, for
rosters, you know listed.
I know these are pretty again,people you don't know, you don't

(01:54):
know what's going to happen,you don't know what happened
today before.
You know, like yesterday beforethey left, or today, you just
don't know what happened.
So you could have a guy writtendown and you're going to watch
the duel and be like crap, it'sa whole different guy, right?
So, with that being said, we'regoing to kind of go off of
track.
I'm going to make some guessesoff of rumors that I've heard

(02:14):
about things going around,things like that.
Because, again, illnesses, someguys might be a little dinged up
, you know, might not be thetime to have someone into, so
they might need a break, andthat's that's important to me.
I know steve and coach garlandand in the paulsons and and ian
are proud of their athletes.
Now they take care of them.
So I know there's going to be aguy that's out.

(02:34):
It doesn't matter what the dualscore says.
They want to make sure because,again, building towards the end
, right, building towards abetter goal, um of the end of
the season.
So, um, regardless of what theydo, what they wind up doing um
to this afternoon, um is whatthey choose to do.
So we're just kind of excitedto talk about it.

(02:54):
Because, number one, I knowthey haven't had a 125, so
hopefully kv on roller gets alittle bit of a break, sand rays
helps them on the end of theseason kind of thing, records
and all that other good stuff,but I haven't seen Stanford with
a 125.
So we get into 133 real quick.
I know that I think we had Rossilast week.

(03:15):
Look good, it was kind of hisfirst real kind of big test.
So I know that the coaches liketo do this too.
I like to get some young guysout there to get them some
experience and get a coupleduels under their belt before
they wind up going into thepostseason.
It makes sense to me.
It only gets the guys prepareda little bit more, kind of
understanding what they need towork on, not so much about what

(03:35):
the opponent's doing, but whatare the needs that they've got
to focus on going into the room.
So I don't know that Rossi isgoing to going to be the guy
this week, but but that was.
That was Rossi's 125.
My apologies, that was.
That was a whole differentthing.
Porter.
Porter I don't know if he'sgoing to start or not.

(04:00):
I'd love to see Monteparto.
Kyle, if I get that wrong,please tell me.
You can yell at me at any time.
If I got that wrong, pleasetell me.
You can yell at me at any timeif I got that wrong.
It'd be nice to see him up at133.
I know that they're kind oftalking about that a while back,
so that'll be nice to see ifMonteperto is able to step up
and kind of fill the role thisweek, do what he needs to do at
133.
So that's who I'm guessing.
So according to what I see ontrack, at least for Stanford, it

(04:26):
would be Knox versus Monteperco.
That'd be great to see.
That'd be a good matchup.
I think he walks away with thewin on that one.
Maybe a decision.
I'm not going to go and say amajor, but let's get a decision
out of that and let's go to 141.
I know Sedano's our guy.
I really hope to see him.
I think that is something thatwe'll see.

(04:48):
But if Sedano is not up to it,I know that they have obviously
a great, great guy in Butler.
So let's see if we can getButler in the lineup, put him
out, we'll see what happens.
I know that they haveexpectations for some of these
guys when they put them outthere just to kind of see again
where they're at, what they'redoing.
You know how.
How has their progress beensince?

(05:09):
You know they last put them outin an open or put them on a
tournament or in a duel.
So it'd be nice to see Butleragain.
All speculation, pleaseunderstand that.
But these are the guys we'reexcited to see, regardless of
what the lineup is supposed tobe.
So you're you're hearing itfrom me just basically telling
you what I want to see.

(05:30):
Um, let's see jack geoffrey, Ithink is going to be our guy for
149 um.
So I'm going to stick with that.
I don't think they're going tobe putting roghi in, but I think
they're going to put gerey in.
Michael Geoffrey going to be awhole different kettle of fish
there for 157.
Jack, I want to expound on him alittle bit.

(05:51):
I was really excited about himas well for last week and I
think, regardless of whoeverwrestled last week, I'm not
looking at it right now.
Again, I'm looking forward.
Hopefully these guys have seenthe progress that they need to
and Jack's back um this week aswell.
Um, I think you will be allspeculation, but I do like the

(06:13):
outcome of uh of Jack with uh.
Uh, let's see who they got.
Jaden Abbas Um, again top.
Jayden abbas um, again top, topnotch wrestler.
Jayden abbas is no joke, realdeal.
But at the same point, though,too, I have a lot of faith in
jack.
Jack's been a hard wrestler,he's.
He's a go getter man.
He really likes to push, pushthe pace a little bit and there

(06:36):
are guys that are pushing himand that's good.
So hopefully this is somethingthat is going to uh spell out
further down the road in thepostseason here.
So, um, michael joffrey don't,like I said, I'm not sure that
he's going to spell out furtherdown the road in the postseason
here.
So, michael Jaffray, like Isaid, I'm not sure that he's
going to be there, so I'm goingto guess that it's going to be
Sanko.
I'll check through some of mynotes here, but pretty sure

(06:57):
Sanko's going to be out for 57.
I'm pretty sure I want to seehim wrestle.
I want to see him last week.
I don't think he wrestled lastweek.
You guys are dealing withsomeone here, this dude, this
guy talking someone here thatdoesn't have the best retainer
of memory, but if I remembercorrectly, we didn't see Sanko.
I think we saw Michael Joffrey.

(07:20):
I think we're going to begiving Sanko a run, so Sanko is
actually going to be a goodchoice as well to meet up with.
I think it's Gregor I'm goingto murder his name because
Chalakian Chalakian.
I'm going to go with GregorChalakian from Stanford, but
Sanko, I think, is going to geta decision there.
I'm going to go ahead and say,just because I like Sanko enough

(07:51):
that he might get a major, soit would be nice to get that
forfeit up at 125, not the wayyou always want to get a win,
but we'll take a six right At133,.
I think we're going to wind upgetting a decision there.
141 will be a battle.
We'll see what happens.
But you know again, I think inthese top ones, jaden Abbott is
going to be a tough one for Jack.
I think in these top ones,jaden Abbott is going to be a
tough one for Jack.
But I think in these top ones,I think we can pull out
decisions.
I think conditioning is goingto be a factor.
I think that will be a largefactor is conditioning here.

(08:15):
I know that Steve, coachGarland and all those guys are
big on that when it comes tobeing in the room and going.
Don't waste your time whileyou're in the room, it's time to
go.
You know, we're working, we'reworking.
So I think that these guys aregoing to be able to push a pace
a little bit more.
Let's see 165.
This is going to be a wild guess, I think on this one too.

(08:38):
But yeah, man, I'm, I'm reallygoing to be guessing here.
I think it's going to beHamilton because again, he's,
he's been on fire, he's beendoing really well.
I know that there's been acouple of tough matches here and
there, but again, that's,that's the breaks when you come,
come against some of the topguys, but those are supposed to

(08:59):
be learning matches.
You know, those are the thingsthat you take back to the room,
not hang your head on.
You take back to the room, nothang your head on.
You take back to the room andyou work on it.
So I got my guy, hamiltonagainst Hunter Garvin.
This is going to be a good,good matchup for him, a good
test to find out what again hasto happen in the in the room
going into the post season.
If we get this one here, it'sgoing to be a tight one, it's

(09:20):
going to be decision.
But my faith is all a Nick man.
Uh, all the way down, um, 174.
Oh, I'm going to go with.
I'm going to go with Murphy onthis one.
Uh, again, uh, rumors buzzingaround about sickness, things
like that I don't know.
Um, I thought I heard somethingabout continue being being ill.

(09:42):
But you know, again flu hasbeen going around.
So those guys could all bebetter by today and be cleared.
But my money's going to be onMurphy.
I think this would be a goodmatch for Murphy to kind of put
him out there and get a goodgrip on what he needs to do.
I think he's been really solidon hand fighting.
I think it's been somethinghe's working on.

(10:02):
I can't again, I don't knowthat for a fact, but it seems
like this is the hand-fightinggame.
It's what it takes to get in ona shot.
So I know he's been workinghard on that.
So that's 174, 184.
You know there's theGamble-Phillips combo.
I'm going to guess they'regoing to put in Phillips on this

(10:24):
one.
I'm going to guess they'regoing to put in Phillips on this
one, but Gamal again, I thinkGamal has the hood spot to be
able to kind of push through amatch like that and I think it's
a good competition for him.
I think it's a toss up.
I think either one goes in getsa decision.
I think if Gamal goes in, it'sa possibility for a major

(10:47):
decision.
But I think they both win thematch either way.
I think it's just a matter ofwho's going in with the most
steam.
These guys aren't you know again, these guys aren't slouches,
they're all wrestling, top-notchguys.
Uh, going into stanford.
Those guys work just as hard.
Um, the coaching staff outthere, you know, has picked up
the pace as well.
It's good to see that theystill have a program with a lot

(11:10):
of the stuff that's going on.
But, um, I really do see ourguys being able to get a really
good advantage in these duelshere.
Um, 184 is again we talked aboutthat now 197.
I better see Burrell guys,coach, if you're listening, I
better see Burrell 197.
Okay, I'm putting it on theline.

(11:31):
You're going to hear this andyou better listen to this before
the duel, right, because I wantto see Burrell.
Let it fly.
I want to see those double legsnonstop, because that guy was
on fire with those shots, man.
So I'm still, I'm reallygunning for Burrell Um.
I think he's healthy.
I'd like to see him fire offagainst Nick Stemmet.

(11:51):
I think he's the best betagainst Nick Stemmet.
Um, again, that's going to be atough matchup for him.
Um, that is going to be areally good, I think, thing.
Going into it, uh, going intothis duel for Burrell, burrell
um to be able to put himself upagainst now stem it was the one
that was kind of talking crazywith uh um, with ferrari, you

(12:12):
know, going back and forth andwhat.
Stem it I think stem it lost byfive points or something like
that.
But stem it, stem it's.
You know, he's a real deal,he's a good wrestler, um, but
burrell has turned it up a notch.
So I really want to see thatmatchup, regardless of score,
regardless of the outcome.
I want to see where burrell'sat, because some of the guys
he's putting those double legson weren't ready for his pace

(12:34):
right, ready for what he washandling.
Stem it's going to give him agood test.
I think stem it's going to givehim good defense and be able to
kind of put on a show a littlebit more of what he's capable of
doing.
So my money is going to be onBurrell they call it a dub on
that one.
It's going to be a tough match,burrell, I'm going to go with
by a point.
So prove me right, steve, andput it out there.

(12:57):
Either way, we're still proudof you as far as wrestling and
you've really turned it up anotch.
So let's see you kick it up anotch against this guy and see
if you can do something andbring home a W.
And the next one we got it'seither Christensen or Morgan.
I haven't heard too many rumorsabout him illness, injury,
things like that.
So I'm going to go withChristensen on this one against

(13:20):
Ming Ming, again a top notchwrestler.
I don't know what these guys areranked.
I didn't use WrestleStat today.
I'm just looking at track, justkind of going based off of that
.
But pull up WrestleStat quickhere and just kind of see what
we got going on.
I think that might give us alittle better of a litmus test.
But we'll find out again.
Really excited just for theoutcome here, just for the past

(13:46):
couple months and watching theseguys go through the opens and
things like that and just kindof watching the progress they've
been making and it's been great.
Like I tell you again, I coach,so I watch for the little
things I don't necessarily payattention to.
You know, oh, was this guyranked?
I mean, we all know who theguys are right, so we just kind
of pay attention to exactly whatthat guy's doing.

(14:07):
You know, against thatcompetition, especially if
they're in their conference, butwe really like to see, uh, all
the different options and youknow, honestly, um, coach
garland and crew have beenreally good at mixing these guys
up and you know you got acouple of guys there at the 125,
133 area that they could alwaysI mean they could throw it in
there and completely throw usoff.

(14:27):
So I'm excited just to see whatthey do put out there for a
lineup and see who does put itout there.
I'm not excited.
I'm not excited for the waythat these guys have to get to
travel so far, things like that.
So it's like, eh, you know it's, it's a, it'll be, it
definitely be um, somethingdifferent for these guys to go

(14:49):
through.
Yeah, they travel, um, butthere's a big difference from
going from one side of thecountry to the other, the flight
, the time, um, all that, uh, soI really do think and I really
should use Russell stat for thisI really do think that, um,
they put I mean they could putMarlon Yarborough on and still,

(15:12):
you know, come up really good.
Um, I got Monteperto here on onmajor decisions.
So, yeah, you know, virginiahas got an opportunity to win
this, uh, a strong opportunity.
So we'll see again.
You know these, it's theirlineup, they can do what they
want, but uh, let's see, I'mgoing to put Butler in at one 41
.
It's their lineup, they can dowhat they want, but let's see,
I'm going to put Butler in at141.
I got Butler at 9-5.

(15:34):
Jack Geoffrey they got Abbasover Geoffrey by decision.
Again, that's what I'm puttingmy money on, jack man, it's only
a 9-5 decision.
They got on here.
I really like Geoffrey man, Ireally like him in this one.
They have Sanko getting majoredby greg.

(15:56):
I just don't see that theydon't have any common opponents.
Uh, my money's on sanko, mymoney's on sanko all the way.
Um, hamilton, this is a tightone for him against hunter
garvin again, you know therankings, all that other stuff,
but um, I ham's going to have atough match.
But again I think he can squeakone out.

(16:19):
Let's take Contino out 174.
I put Murphy in.
We got Murphy getting majored.
Again, this is WrestleStackguys.
I'm just kind of interested tosee what these guys give us with
the lineup that I'm putting in.
Let's see we got Weatherspoon.
We got 197.

(16:40):
So we're going to put Burrell in, because I want Burrell.
They're giving Burrell a onepoint over Nick Stemmet.
That's where I'm with.
I'm totally with him on thatone, wholeheartedly with him on
that one, wholeheartedly withhim on that one.
And then we got GabeChristensen on the end.
So right now, I mean with myteam, this is my team we got it

(17:01):
says Stanford over Virginia24-12, but I don't see that.
There's a couple wins in therethat I think are going to go the
opposite way.
I think it's going to be muchcloser and I think it's going to
come down to maybe about ormaybe two.
But I see Virginia win thisduel against Stanford.
I really do.
I think this, you know,obviously, I believe it's the

(17:22):
first time they've really metanywhere, so it's going to be
interesting.
I'm excited for this one justbecause, again, these are good
tests against really good guyswhere we can see guys that we
typically didn't see themagainst Right.
So this will be a great testgoing into the post season.
And guys, I again I really liketo record these because I'm
looking at information.
If I were to record it, I'dwant to be looking at the camera

(17:45):
way more, but I'm looking at somuch stuff that I want to cause
, I want to represent thiscorrectly.
So I'm looking at a lot ofinformation.
I pull up Russell stat.
I think Russell stats wrongabout the score, just a little,
a little.
I don't think it's.
It's not.
You know, I think it's going tobe a really good duel.
So I think people want to tuneinto this.
So, guys, if you have theopportunity I believe it's on

(18:07):
the ACC network find somethingthat you can take If you can't
get to the duels.
Again I'm going to push this Goto the duels, go to the dang
duels.
If you can't sign up and getACC network and cheer your team
on Right, okay, I don't care ifyou're the big 10, but right now
we're talking about Virginia.
Right, sign up for something.
Watch these guys cheer for them.

(18:28):
Next time you see them and youcan get to like an open
wrestling tournament thatthey're at.
Go to it.
You know it's, it's worthnumber one.
You're giving money to theprogram that's there, but you're
also helping.
You're not just helping thatprogram, you're helping
wrestling in general.
But watch these guys somehow.
Some way get the ACC network onand watch them.
Okay, otherwise I'm pretty sureyou can get it on YouTube.

(18:48):
Some guy's been recording someguy out in Pakistan.
He's probably got like five,six, seven, eight friends where
they all do it on one YouTubechannel.
They wind up putting it up onYouTube.
Folks Go, just look up VirginiaWrestling on YouTube and find
the duel.
I don't care if you watch itafterwards.
Talk about it.
You know talking about itspreads the word a little bit
more.

(19:12):
These guys have a really greatlineup.
You know they have backups thatare great.
So it's good to see them,especially last week against um,
north carolina state, getting adecent mix of a couple guys a
couple freshmen were in therethat typically weren't getting
you know the exposure.
Now they're getting thatexposure.
It's the little things, I think, to me that matter, like that,
that these guys understand thatthey.
They got to see whereeveryone's at Right.
It's another reason why theroster can change up.
Hey, you know what?

(19:32):
Let's get this guy in.
You know one, 41.
We, we haven't seen him yet.
Let's, let's throw them inthere, let's see what happens.
Got a good opponent coming in.
You know things like that.
So I think these guys and that'sanother reason why you know
Liam and his brain going throughthat these guys are trustworthy
.
They know, you know, listeningto him talk about all the things
that they want to do with thelineup and just kind of the

(19:54):
daily things that they do, likethey have that in mind.
There are a lot of othercoaches that do too, but we're
talking about Virginia coaches,right?
We're talking about SteveGarland, trent Paulson, travis
Paulson, ian Parker.
That's what we're talking about, and these guys are pretty
smart and they're doing itpretty smart.
They're building somethingspecial there.
So pay attention, this duel isgoing to be out in Stanford.

(20:15):
It's going to be 5 pm central,I believe 6 pm eastern and I
believe it's 3 pm out there.
So if you're out in California,you hear this, watch them.
Okay, you know, put some clipsup of me doing this, but really
it's just the audio.
It's to get this out there forthe guys and get some
recognition of these guys.
They deserve it.
I think that there's a programthat has been really building

(20:35):
upon itself each year.
I mean, they've gotten theattention each year with someone
special and it's bringing moreand more guys in right.
It's a whole point.
So that's another draw, becausethese guys understand that it
takes a team to be able to buildthis.
It doesn't just take one dude.
So everybody's putting theirbest foot forward.
Especially when these duelscome in, everybody's working.

(20:57):
So I'm really excited to seethese guys wrestle Stanford.
It's going to be a different,different travel schedule for
those guys.
We'll see how they wind updoing it.
But you know, I reallyappreciate them letting me talk
about this and sometimes theygive me a little insight as to
what's going on.
Um, and I keep that close tothe vest out of respect.
I don't want to uh, putsomething out there and be like
this is what's going on and thenit doesn't happen.

(21:20):
Right, it's these guys.
Things change.
So I take what I can, keep thestuff you don't need to know
close to the vest and we kind ofrun with it, because there's
just a lot that goes on in aroster and again, I coach, I
coach and my roster changes upto five minutes before we even
start the soccer game hands theevery, every game, every year.

(21:40):
You don't know what's going tohappen.
So, um, but you know, like Isaid, it says it says Stanford
over Virginia 24 to 12.
On this one, with my lineup, Ithink they're crazy.
I think it's more or less goingto be, uh, I would say maybe 13
to 12, or however a score canwind up where it's one point, or
even criteria.
Man, I think this is going tobe a good one.

(22:00):
So, uh, buckle up, watch it.
We're going to end this on.
This has been calf corner too.
We're going to keep doing thisthis year.
Next year it's on the visionquest podcast.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
