Ah. I misunderstood your previous post. My apologies. I agree with your sentiment. It's frustrating when you have guys like Sealey, Mirasola, Davis/Nagao, Sakamoto, McComas, Thompson, Hughes, etc. all on the bench losing a year of eligibility when they would be a great addition on so many other teams.

She'll be begging to back after they find out where that money came from.

How many other shooting victims have the president show up to talk with their relatives? How many others get to be flown home on Air Force 2 with the VP? How many are immediately considered for the medal of honor? I'll wait.

PSU's average team score from 2011 to 2021 (pre-transfer portal and NIL era) was 121.3 and they averaged 10.9 more points than the highest placing team other than themselves in that same window. In the 4 years since NIL and penalty free transfers PSU has averaged 154.625 points and outscored the second place team by an average margin of 62.85. In their peak run from 1975 to 2000, Iowa won 20 NCAA titles. They averaged 120.22 points at NCAAs and outscored their competition by an average of 24.55 points during that stretch (granted changes in team scoring has some effect on these numbers, I just don't exactly know how much). More "parity" might not mean someone else hoists the trophy at the end of the year, but at least a semblance of a team race would be a marked improvement compared to the direction NCAA wrestling has taken since the 2022 season.

Mine is in Schwab fairly evenly divided between a couple managed plans and stocks i manage myself (hence ORCL etc). I'm up 19.9% over last 12 months and 16.1% ytd. If only i'd listened to the viking.

I tried to get back involved again in a uncommitted coaching roll, but 2 weekends in a row of spending the whole day in a gym after decades of the smell of mats and I decided my life needs some variety. Making wrestling your work sounds like the dream, but you give up so much. Now I'm enjoying the sport even more as a fan.

Basically you're pretty safe if you do the opposite of what Rock Viking says to do in just about anything: finances, politics, morality, polishing rocks.

My money is in a very diverse mutual fund. Through Capital Group Funds. It has performed very well even through Covid and the Biden debacle. I'm up about 13 percent this year. I wish I had put more money in it.

I reckon its the opposite tbh. There is nothing from Emami that suggests he can medal this year whereas Javan is at least younger and with a favourable bracket might be able to pull off an upset or 2. Especially since 61 is weaker this year with Ono out.

I don't think the money is the issue for Iranian guys to come over its moreso the visa situation. In the past high level Iranian athletes have struggled to come to the US and compete in various competitions because of it. Especially with the current climate, I doubt there would be much incentive to ease those restrictions. Of course if RAF could become global it would be amazing for the sport but for the Iranian guys to come the tournaments would have to be in UAE or something kind of like how UFC does it.

Excellent.

Yes, unfortunately political parties tend to divide us as we have seen in the last few elections. You and I are now deplorable Nazi's. The liberal media is a willing accomplice. Chaos seems to help their ratings.

Dowd fired by msnbc

Pritzker can go with her also.

Necessarily. I think you are saying it is unfortunate at other times a nation is not unified generally. mspart

Gotta get that good good espp program

I don't know about "the market" but ORCL tanked for me big time this week.

Yes, wars tend to bring a nation together, unfortunately.

The last time Kyle Snyder was mentioned with head he was buckeye naked getting escorted out the La Quinta by Columbus' finest

Gov “tax cheat” Pritzker blamed Trump and Jan 6. Surprise surprise

Well, he shouldn't have used a fake visa or passport or whatever. That's just plain stoopid. mspart

She can take her brother/husband with her.

We were mostly unified in WWI, WWII, and Sept 11. mspart

Ilhan Omar doing Ilhan Omar things.

With the list of illegal aliens protected by Illinois’s sanctuary state policy, ICE announced Operation Midway Blitz, which will focus its efforts on arresting illegals who have used such sanctuary policies to evade federal agents. The operation is in honor of 20-year-old Katie Abraham of Illinois, who was killed in a drunk driving crash allegedly caused by illegal alien Julio Cucul-Bol of Guatemala. Abraham’s friend Chloe Polzin was also killed in the crash. “This operation will target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Chicago,” the Department of Homeland Security’s Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. Who is against rounding these people up and deporting them other than IL Gov and Chicago mayor? I talking about normal people. mspart
