All Activity

He only telegraphed the bombing for a few weeks, like a total idiot.

and they are 'threats' nothing actual

why? also i was told this wasn't happening

I don't think that is correct. His RS would have been 21-22 school year, if he is going to graduate in 2026. According to Track he was wrestling between 100 - 106 in the spring of 2021. He won Cadets at 45 KG (99 lbs) in July of 2021 before he redshirted. I suppose you could argue that the best 99 lber in the world in July 2021, would of needed to a redshirt to compete at the State tournament in March 2022 at 106, but he wasn't competing at 95 lbs when he would of been a freshman.

I see scroogie stopped arguing with his son RV. Why?

Funny how all these assessments came out during Bidens presidency huh scroogie? When Joe Mush Brain wasn’t really running anything. Ya these reports are credible.

yes, flo or one of the other MANY wrestling rags should hire jemele hill as an analyst

He’s Far less of both of those than you are.

as several of us thought. it didn't increase activity and probably lessened it

Idk how people aren’t more aware/annoyed with this… it’s literally ruined 1 takedown matches

one post from the zohan so if queers are under attack... who will arrest those who attack them?

so basically nothing

It’s obvious that the elimination of RT at the high school level has had a negative impact on mat wrestling at the collegiate level. How in the world can college coaches build on the skills and strategies when there is little foundation from which to build? Why did they eliminate it? I have asked folks. No one can really tell me, but here’s my guess; Too many coaches at that level don’t know or understand the intricate mechanics of top and bottom mat wrestling. We are reluctant to admit that it’s too hard and frustrating to teach and learn for a large majority of hs coaches. It’s easier to denigrate it, lower the standards, and do away with it, than to put in the time and effort to learn it and be successful. So, we change the rules and we dumb it down so it gives more folks a chance and makes "coaching" easier. Bottom wrestling has suffered as a result. The three-point TD doesn’t create more wrestling. It now takes less wrestling to score more points. Point inflation pacifies the freestyle clique. It doesn’t make the sport any more interesting or give it mass appeal, which it will never achieve anyway. The dog whistle complaint is that mat wrestling and ankle control is boring and if you do catch an ankle or drop down to a single to maintain control, it’s stalling and, therefore, a detriment to the sport. The real detriment to the sport is not coaching an athlete on all the various techniques that he has available in any given situation, both offensively and defensively. As far as stalling goes...Matches are only 7 min and we can now have an entire match where both wrestlers start neutral. There's a lot of time spent jockeying around, measuring, feeling things out, etc. To expect two wrestlers to go balls out for 7 min is not reasonable. In virtually every sport, keeping and protecting a lead, aka-stalling, is part of the strategy. There's plenty of it in freestyle. What's the entire purpose of being in the down position in free? TO STALL. Flatten out like a starfish/post-it note and wait a 5-7 seconds. The irony is, that strategy is encouraged not criticized. Smart wrestlers, get ahead, stay ahead, protect their handywork and smart stall...plain and simple, like it or not.

um, we politely asked them to self deport...

"otherwise the power balance is irreparably tilted toward Penn State and Ok State." Have you not been paying attention since 2011? At least where Penn State is concerned? As for OSU - they have to beat Iowa in a dual first.

the education system is so good!

Hey Snow Plow guy from Minnesota, You literally agreed with me.

so basically we are going to sanction you without sanctions.. man obama was stupid

please please go there wear your gay pride shirt

I only opened this thread cause thought it an announcement about Jimmy C moving on to bigger and better forums ... carry on.

Kevin Dresser. He is in the Iowa Hall of Fame and he likes and tough wrestling.

Not gonna happen

Eh, it's your call. We had a thread about the biggest threat regarding Christian extremists and it turned into a prolonged discussion about Pol Pot in which "El Luchador," linked a 1998 article from his depth that he didn't read and claimed that was proof the "Leftists" were the real threats. Then insisted that Ethnocentric Nationalists aren't part of the far right nor re fascists. So basically, he thinks anyone who is bad is a "Leftist." You can if you'd like, but I don't think it'd actually serve a purpose. Jimmy would reply a LOT, I wouldn't read them. Scout would just post something unrelated from X and the people on the right who are honest would just ignore it or like mspart, 'they're all bad.'
