Basch might be overdosing on the PSU Kool Aid

J Rob got run out for less than this. mspart

Since I know it will come up in this thread his position on Israel is that it has a right to exist as a state with equal rights. Should be pretty non-controversial, but have fun arguing against it.

Nobody should get a 5th season in college sports. You get four. Is there a new grade level in college I am unaware of? freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, and then what? There is no other "then what". There are 4 years of eligibility. Starocci should not have been allowed to compete last year in my humble opinion. You guys can't make me believe it should be otherwise. You can criticize me for my position but you can't make me believe that for a very short period of time, people deserved a 5th year when no one else does outside of that time frame. It's a ridiculous concept. mspart

Been in NYC all week. Fantastic city. You’d think it was a warzone based on the way conservatives describe it. Mamdani won because he actually believes in something and presents a positive worldview that treats people equally regardless of race or religion.

Downey looks better day by day. He is the ONE and ONLY guy who isn't fake. The above 3 = fake Let's remember boys and girls, safesport just issued a yellow card to Carter. Can't wait to see him on the mat in a week just like Snyder. Downey got absolutely HOSED.

Regardless of what happens legally or in relation to Cael's status as head coach, I think all of this news really shifts the view of what it means to commit and attend PSU as a wrestler. I don't have children, but if I had a blue-chip son, this would be a deal-breaker for me. As mentioned above, we now have the Snyder sting, Aaron Brooks failing a drug test, and most shockingly the allegations surrounding one of their stars that somehow stuck around for 6 years without any word of incident. It's horrible if the coaches were privy to any of the allegations and didn't do anything, and it's still very concerning if all of these things are taking place and the coaches have such little awareness of what is taking place in their own practice facility. Before recently, PSU was a place believed to develop you into the best wrestler you can be, and they were also very grounded in their morals, faith, and dedication to the "wrestling lifestyle." The latter certainly will be in question moving forward, and I would think many parents will have some hesitation moving forward with a program that has been staying in the news for all of the wrong reasons.

I’m just here to take PEDs and insult Muslims…. And I’m all out of groceries….. cause I took them. #praiseJesus

Brooks comes off as the kind of guy that you could have an authentic video of Cael injecting a syringe in his ass and he’d release a statement that God came to him in a dream and told him to inject goose urine, but he didn’t know goose urine has PEDs in it. Or something along those lines…

Starocci to AB:

It's especially ironic that some of the loudest athlete-preachers in the sport (Brooks, Starocci, Snyder) all appear to be morally bankrupt.

That tweet sounded very public relations guy wrote it ha how long between popping and the world knowing ? Is it a few days ? Weeks ? Minutes ?

That is pretty gross really. Jerks that don't pick up after themselves. mspart

Did he say IN the grocery store or out behind?

Does Derek know AB has been stealing from his garage?

Tough week for Basch. How can anyone PR their way out of this

I want accountability in Happy Valley. That program has turned itself into a “religious mecca.” They constantly play the “I worked so hard and Jesus is rewarding my efforts with this victory” card after big matches. When you continually jam that down outsiders throats, while the inside is rife with doping, assault, abuse, etc.; then you better be ready to pay the piper when time comes. It appears Penn state is not there yet as Aaron Brooks is already posting Bible verses and how he got something from the grocery store. Will be interesting to watch and see the next few weeks.

pretty good 5 on 2 and a dig

Lmfao he went with the Daton Fix contaminated fridge gambit?

Just another "nothingburger" don't ya think?

Stole from Vak for the record

No but most athletes that have a platform have a few pictures that circulate of them in a cast/sling/in the hospital/rehabbing when they do something that puts them out for an entire year.

weird wallys

Man, God does weird stuff in Happy Valley.
