  1. Past hour
  2. to paraphrase Daniel Tosh..."Swimming? You mean that thing you instinctively do before you die?"
  3. Show Ben some respect...
  4. My sincerest apologies that I have a life outside of this forum...next time i'll make it a point to respond within whatever @MPhillips decides is the appropriate amount of time. Deepest regrets, TNWrestling
  5. But but but they’re libtardos not conservatives.
  6. What was interesting about this attack is that yet again, people including big follower accounts like Laura Loomer, tried placing the blame on the Muslim community based on the scantest of evidence. You’d think after all the egg on their face from the Vance Boelter situation, that the folks that did that would actually try to wait for some facts before showing their racism, but apparently not.
  7. Thanks for this! I've been wanting to understand more and this is great. Still hard to pinpoint when they start and how to weed through the content to find out what I'm interested in watching. But hopefully that clears up with time.
  8. This is proper for the situation. They don't need someone in the room causing her and apprehension about speaking openly.
  9. Today
  10. I've been swimming a lot this summer to get ready for the folkstyle season. The watching folkstyle season I mean.
  11. New information that relates directly to this question… Jack Scarola, who represents about 20 of the victims, requested to attend..not participate in but attend…the interview and was turned down. That doesn’t speak highly to transparency. I’m sure there will be reasons to brush this off as well…but it sure is interesting.
  12. Agree, I'm not sure how long Ronnie holds down 125 though he seems really tall and long for that weight.
  13. Earlier this month, Kyle Borshoff stepped down from his position as the head coach of Binghamton wrestling. Borshoff had spent ten years on staff at Binghamton and he was the head coach during the last eight years. With Binghamton currently the only head coaching opening at the DI level, we decided to dig in and take a deeper look at the potential hires. We have identified three great candidates for the job: Scott Green, Ryan LeBlanc, and Kellen Russell. Each is capable of success with the Bearcats and for various reasons. Below, we have outlined the case for each of the three based on their past and how they could fit in with this Binghamton program. The case for: Scott Green (Army West Point - Associate head coach) Scott Green was a finalist for the Army West Point head coaching position earlier this offseason, but the athletic department went with Troy Nickerson. Green has other offers but decided to stay with his team. Now, the Binghamton job unexpectedly opened up and it is one with Green’s name written all over it. Green is a Binghamton alum and spent time on the Bearcat coaching staff before his run at Wyoming Seminary. Green has been an integral part of the recruiting process for Army and played a key role in the school earning recruiting rankings in three of the last four years (with another on the horizon in 2026). Without the extra restrictions in the recruiting process necessary at West Point, Green could have a huge impact on recruiting at a school like Binghamton. While he has recruited on a national scale at Army, Green’s local ties in the area run deep. Though it was at the high school level, Green’s time at Wyoming Seminary demonstrated how he can be the CEO-type coach that builds a successful organization. In this era of college athletics, those traits are not only important but rather essential. One thing that sets Green apart from the other two finalists is his experience in the coaching profession. He coached at the collegiate level before either of the others even got to college, as student-athletes. The case for: Ryan LeBlanc (The Citadel - Head Coach) Another finalist for the Army job was New York native Ryan LeBlanc. LeBlanc would be striking while the iron is hot, which is common in the coaching world. He just completed his fifth year as the head coach of The Citadel and led the Bulldogs to the best season in over a decade. LeBlanc’s squad finished second in the conference in a SoCon tournament that came down to the final bout of the tournament. It’s a huge improvement from fifth place, which is where the Bulldogs finished in each of his first four seasons. With a runner-up finish in the conference, LeBlanc’s team ended up with three individual champions and pushed four wrestlers through to the national tournament. You’d have to go back to 2014 to find the last time that the school hit that qualifier mark. LeBlanc was able to hit those numbers based on the development of his wrestlers while in the Citadel wrestling room. None of his national qualifiers at the school were on MatScouts Big Board. He’s been able to identify the diamonds in the rough. LeBlanc did much of the same talent evaluation at his previous stop as an assistant at Appalachian State. Another important learning experience from his recent coaching stops is the ability to be resourceful in all aspects of running a program. That could be very helpful at Binghamton. LeBlanc got his coaching career started at DIII SUNY-Cortland after qualifying for nationals three times at Indiana. Between his wrestling career in the Big Ten, followed by DIII and the SoCon, LeBlanc has a wide array of experiences at different-sized programs. The case for: Kellen Russell (Cornell - Associate Head Coach) When recruiting or building a program, sometimes having a recognizable name or face is the best way to get your foot in the door. Kellen Russell has the most high-profile career of any of the three finalists and has been front-and-center with some of the best wrestlers of the last half-decade. High school recruits may not have watched him win two national titles for Michigan, but they’re probably familiar with wrestlers like Vito Arujau and Yianni Diakomihalis. The street cred of working closely with a pair of wrestlers that combined to win six NCAA titles and both have appearances in the Senior World finals is huge. After Russell’s storied career at Michigan concluded, he remained with the Cliff Keen Wrestling Club and then joined the Wolverines coaching staff two years later. Russell was on the Michigan staff for seven years before coming to Cornell in 2021. Since then, he’s assisted on two teams that have captured NCAA trophies. He’s also been a key figure on a Cornell program that has inked top-four recruiting classes in two of the last three seasons. The time coaching in New York and Russell’s links to his home state (New Jersey) and high school (Blair Academy) are an asset for Cornell and could be for Binghamton, as well. Perhaps, the best case for Russell is his track record of winning on the mat and on the coaching bench. He was a highly regarded recruit coming out of Blair Academy, had an excellent career at Michigan, and then continued to watch his pupils rack up accolades. Could he do the same and elevate Binghamton to new heights?
  14. Ronnie Ramirez as well.
  15. 2 out of 3 of these guys have made olympic finals as well. Maybe you just have to be elite. Lmao.
  16. Be really elite level good (3x finalist, 2x champ).
  17. I think you are referring to this clip: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMntHxssrF-/?igsh=MWd1MWV5NGo1bjMwYg== Yes, i am sure he will be getting his weight down to wrestle 86.
  18. This whole take is hilarious. But that last sentence is something else. Last time Caliendo and Carr wrestled it was 16-4 in favor of Carr. They're not remotely the same.
  19. Four days...
  20. So the team is wrestling with stomach flu. Is this how you tricked this thread into the CW rather than NWT forum?
  21. On the plus side, Ledecky did Ledecky things in the 1500 prelims, taking the top seed for the finals by 10 seconds.
  22. And there is a probable cause for this year's under-performance, stomach flu has swept through the team. In addition to swimmers scratching from events you also see them turning in poor times. One of the two US men's backstrokers was 3 seconds slower than his time at Nationals (would not have mattered though), and 16 year old Luca Mijatovic was a whopping 14 seconds slower than Nationals.
  23. Clearly a phony. He’s no different than any of the far left wokesters on here. Dollars to donuts he’s from a blue city in a blue state and one of the 45% of the people in the country that pays zero federal income tax.
  24. It is illogical to try and compare swimming with track and field. Running comes natural to humans. It is an inherent trait for us. On the other hand, There is nothing natural about swimming. My sister told me recently that babies have a natural floating instinct. She then plopped her baby into the water in front of us (we were in a pool) only to have to rush to submerge and extract the poor girl when she started sinking. In track, distance covered in the least amount of time is the whole point. In swimming, a huge component of the "point" is "style". If it weren't, everyone would swim freestyle (front crawl) and there would be no limit to how far you could kick underwater. It's fine to criticize the sport for its number of events. I personally have mixed feelings about the stroke 50s being added to the Olympic program. I'm also sympathetic to the argument that the large number of events is confusing to the casuals and lessens the value of each individual medal. However, I think comparing the sport to track and field is a tired and ineffective argument since the historical backdrop of each sport is so different and their aims differ as I pointed out above. Day 2 finals wrapped up this morning. There was speculation that one of the US' stars, Gretchen Walsh, may have been sick when she was pulled from the relay yesterday. She must have mostly recovered as she ended up winning the 100 fly (my personal favorite event) with the 2nd fastest time ever, only behind her own world record. The US men have missed the finals in the 400 free, 100 back, 100 breast, and 50 fly so far. That is the most missed finals that I ever recall seeing at the world champs. They also lost the 400 free relay, an event they were considerable favorites in. I'm just going to enjoy the races for what they are from this point on and brace for another 2023 type team performance
  25. Just what we need...another poster with completely outrageous and ignorant posts. I thought at first he may be okay and I could learn from someone who thinks and lived a different life, but he is reaching, and may have gone past, RV level craziness.
