Where is Minnesota?

The party of law and order elected a president who is a convicted felon, who pardoned 1,000 other convicted criminals who tried to stage an insurrection, and who has ignored court orders. I'd say the moral compass is way off.

W. T. F. ?

He’s already back. Posted today.

dehumanized

I thought the open boarders the last 4 years are what riled up the base. Weird right?

He will be back before August. Potentially under another name due to shame.

Yeah, I think that just grandfathers in anyone on the current roster who are over the 30-athlete cap. Gabe would get a transfer exemption if Iowa says he was dismissed specifically because of the roster limit and named as a DSA, during which he'd have a small window to switch schools. I believe the DSA exemption would stick with Gabe at his new program, so Iowa would be doing his next school a pretty big favor by giving him Designated status on a 35ish man roster when it makes strategic sense to name other guys on the team.

I'm guessing Pat Pop and Tannenbaum didn't think they'd be connected to these OT kings

Now you might be tempted to think that the Illinois coaches of that era had something figured out about OT tactics. But you would be wrong. The other end of the spectrum is poor Griff Powell, Illinois' 157 rep between 2000 and 2002. He went to )T 5 times in those three tournaments and never got his hand raised once. And Powell was no piker. He finished 8th in 2002 after a blood round lose in 2001.

Lewan was 4-2 in his 6 OT matches, the same winning % as Morningstar (6-3). But with 9 OT matches Morningstar is the King of the "But, Wait. There Is More" Hill. But the real King of the Deep Water was Illinois' John Lockhart. Across the 2001 and 2002 tournaments he went to OT 7 times and he got his hand raised 7 times.

All of this seems hilarious so they can wrestle in front of less people than at final X or the US Open.

Will Lewan has a Ryan Morningstar poster in his room.

To be fair, the ‘other side’ is well represented here in that same fashion. For every RV and Lobster there’s a blind sheep on the ‘conservative’ side. I agree with you in the reason why Trump is in office, and likewise, the mentality of the MAGA minions is why a doof Biden was voted in office. Fortunately there’s reasonable people on both sides as well, who are able to listen to and at least try and understand a different opinion, they’re just not as loud and attention seeking.

Accurate from my perspective. The (internet) expression "<insert person/group> would like a word" has never meant "<person/group> literally takes offense at this particular statement." A stupid example would be if I said "Kyle Dake is the only Cornell wrestler to win four NCAA titles," then someone would come back with "Yianni would like a word" without it meaning that Yianni ever saw me make that statement.

assuming facts not in evidence

I believe Aaron Brooks brother-Mozzafar- who is a Muslim convert -went on for 1 minute 40 seconds without taking a breath trying to express his indignation about his brother false profit claim. The crowd loved him too…

Weird Yes, Aaron Brooks, a Penn State wrestler, faced significant criticism from Muslim communities and advocacy groups following comments he made after winning his third consecutive NCAA title in March 2023.youtube.com+5decisionmagazine.com+5deadspin.com+5 During a post-match interview on ESPN, Brooks attributed his success to his Christian faith and stated, "No false prophets, no Muhammad nor anyone else. Only Jesus Christ himself." This remark was widely perceived as disrespectful toward Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.cair.com+3independent.co.uk+3deadspin.com+3emgageusa.org+1yahoo.com+1 In response, organizations such as Emgage and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned Brooks' comments. Emgage described the remarks as "unacceptable" and harmful to Muslim students and staff at Penn State.CAIR-Philadelphia invited Brooks to engage with the Muslim community to foster understanding and address the offense caused. emgageusa.org+1independent.co.uk+1cair.com The NCAA initially shared the interview clip on its official Twitter account, which led to further backlash. After criticism, the NCAA deleted the tweet. CAIR-Philadelphia welcomed this action but emphasized the need for broader institutional support for the Muslim community.cair.com+4independent.co.uk+4deadspin.com+4deadspin.com+1cair.com+1cair.com+1cair.com+1 While Brooks did not issue a public apology, he later posted Bible verses on Instagram, including John 15:18, which discusses being hated by the world, suggesting he felt misunderstood or persecuted. decisionmagazine.com In summary, Brooks' comments led to significant criticism from Muslim communities and advocacy groups, who viewed his remarks as disrespectful and called for engagement and dialogue to address the issue.

That's a good thing in my opinion. Most on here don't have much in common with you, RV, Uncle, etc. People like you are why Trump is in office. You like to talk about how you have empathy and compassion like you are some God send, but talk down to anyone who doesn't agree with all the BS you spew.

I will try to clear this up: Someone asked why Brooks is considered to be an ahole BigRed made the billion Muslims remark as an example of why people would not like Brooks. Many Muslims and non-Muslims did not like the Muhammad comment, and also don't like his general preachy quality (especially when coupled with his mess-ups and criticizing other religions). Willie thought he was saying the hate is coming from Muslims, when they make small population of American wrestling fans, which would make no sense. To me, BigRed appears to be using the Muhammad comment as an example of how Brooks rubs many people (of all religions) the wrong way, which is why some people would consider him to be an ahole or hate on him. Either of you can correct me if I am misunderstanding your perspective.

Wow, not related at all, but stumbled across it. Ryan Morningstar wrestled in 9 overtime matches in 19 matches at the NCAA tournament. He had 5 in a row spanning the 2009 and 2010 tournaments.

'quip' was the wrong word choice, i'll give you that. but again, the hate (at least that i see) isn't coming en masse from muslims.
