  1. Past hour
  2. They are, but kids who are recruited by those schools consider other programs and some even transfer out. It is a major commitment and a head coach change is something that could make kids reconsider.
  3. 125: Lilledahl 133: Ono (Davis RS) 141: Blaze 149: SVN 157: Duke (Kasak RS) 165: MM 174: Haines 184: Welsh 197: Barr Hwt: Mirasola the heavier
  4. How about Austin Desanto? He has the intensity the Army embodies.
  5. Yesterday, Willie Saylor of InterMat and MatScouts announced that Army head Kevin Ward has stepped down from his post at West Point. Today, Oklahoma State announced that Ward will be an assistant coach on the Cowboy staff. Ward was a two-time national qualifier for the Cowboys in 2005-06 and was a Big 12 champion at 157 lbs in 2005. Ward just recently wrapped up his 11th year at the helm for Army. It was a strong year for the Black Knights as they went 8-3 in dual competition and finished the regular season ranked #24 in the nation in InterMat’s Dual Rankings. Seven Army wrestlers qualified for the NCAA tournament - a feat they last accomplished in 2021. A year earlier, one of Ward’s pupils, Ben Pasiuk got on the NCAA podium with an eighth-place finish at 174 lbs. That was Ward’s first DI NCAA All-American and the program’s first since 2008. Ward’s dual record at Army finished at a 59-53 mark. An important facet of every Army head coach’s job is their record versus the Naval Academy. The Black Knights 2014-15 win over Navy, in Ward’s first year, gave the team their first win over their rivals in 17 years. He also had a four-year winning streak over Navy, a feat that had never previously been accomplished by an Army coach. In 2025, Army downed Navy 22-10 to run his record against the Midshipmen to 7-4. During his 11 years leading the Army program, 57 wrestlers qualified for the NCAA Tournament. In the previous 11 years, only 33 had made it to the Big Dance. Ward’s staff has also been excellent on the recruiting trail. Army earned national rankings in three of the last four seasons and it’s very likely they’ll earn accolades in 2025 and 2026. The Black Knights were 24th in the nation in 2021, 23rd in 2022, and 17th in 2023. There was a vacancy on the Cowboy coaching staff after the departure of Thomas Gilman just over a month ago. We’ll track the progress by the Army athletic department as they seek to replace Ward. Associate head coach Scott Green has been named the interim head coach during the search.
  6. Both sides do. On an absolute regular basis. Both the voters and the politicians themselves. To think this mindset is exclusive to one or the other is just silly.
  7. I think Blaze already has great offense, he just doesn't use it. Similar to Starocci, he seems to be able to score when he needs to, but frustratingly doesn't do much to score until then.
  8. dems change the definitions of words/phrases to their liking dems also change history... to their liking see the current : we didn't cover up for biden
  9. Nolf has an actual personality, he's pretty funny
  10. They added "In God we Trust" on the bills in 1955 and "One Nation Under God" was added in 1954. Both were answers to the cold war and the communist scare. To say in one line that you "completely believe in separation of church and state" then basically say its ok they use religion as a reasoning to write policy is an oxymoron. Religion is a tool used by the ultra wealthy and those in power to stay in power. Heck, the church was pro abortion until Reagan and Jerry Falwell teamed up and made it their number one issue during the 80s. Reagan wanted the christian vote and Falwell wanted a spot on his cabinet. We aren't a "christian nation". The entire reason why we even exist as a country was because a group of people didn't want to be forced to join the Catholic church. We, as a nation, are supposed to be a melting pot of ethnicities. A diverse group of people and religions. THAT is what our forefathers envisioned for us. There's a group of people who seem to forget this.
  11. All politics aside...I hope they can treat it and he beats it
  12. Don't you think Army, Navy, Air Force recruits are a bit different than D1 in general?
  13. Iowa's NQ level guys that will likely not be in the lineup next year... 125 - Joey Cruz, Leo Deluca 133- I thnk Kale Peterson is a borderline NQ at 133 141-157 - Estrada and Victor Voinovich assuming that the Alvarez addition means they are on the bench 174-184 Gabe Arnold 197- Harvey Ludington is a blue chip recruit. Ryder Block has not shown himself to be at a NQ level yet but he should be mentioned as solid depth.
  14. Wanna say here that I haven’t attended church in nearly a decade, completely believe in separation of church and state, and have not downloaded the Bible app, even at my grandmother’s insistence. but God is on our money, in our Pledge of Allegiance, and used as a reasoning tool for policy. We are, ostensibly, a Christian-focused nation. (We Are.. also Penn State) I don’t think Christianity should be everyone’s answer, but if it’s someone’s.. power to them. Whatever helps them sleep at night. Literally, in Dake’s case, it seems. Any harm in proclaiming that when asked about how he keep’s going?
  15. I mean. If 86 doesn’t mean 86 this year how could it possibly mean 86 a few years ago?
  16. He's a wannabe Trump. The kind of person if you shook hands with, you'd want to make sure you still had all your fingers attached when you walked away.
  17. "I'm hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general, his wife. Joe Biden's wife. She would never do it, but yeah, she's a hell of a doctor. She's an amazing doctor." - Whoopi Goldberg
  18. i do know a lot of people were sad that the bullet missed trump
  19. i hadn't heard/seen it used at all, 86, until comey
  20. Today
  21. Bassett wrestles for Jesus so my money is on him.
  22. The only ones who think 8647 is a threat were the ones who meant it that way when they said 8646.
  23. I think it's too early to rank them. They all have a lot of upside. It is plausible that Jax in the long run may have a higher ceiling over Blaze if Marcus doesn't develop offensively. At the same time, for the near future, Jax might struggle to get the better of Blaze while they remain at the same weight. Stylistically Blaze is a nightmare for a lot of wrestlers
  24. fake news strikes yet again. and you dopes parroted it. the plane was never being donated to Trump, it was/is being donated to the US Air Force.
