I did hear they were living in a hotel I don’t know why though.   Who knows.   In their mission on the east or west coast?   The west in cali seems like the right place to start 

Going back to cali?  I don’t think so.

Shit.  I thought the hotels were in Cali.   They’re all rumors as of now.  Maybe I was far off

One would assume they would already know.  Given the strong strong drive to take a year off to be in service of god.  If it’s so strong the details should be done as in less than 12 months they need to be back and training to be in any decent wrestling shape 

 I’m not sure they mentioned any details as of yet.  Who knows right.

Couldn't it be the opposite.

Can't force advancement at the state college if taking a break for religion?

They are actually separating it?

If a coach of a state university is encouraging a religious mission (and I’m not saying they are) he absolutely is not separating it.

in b4 some PSU fan says “It’S a PrIvAtE/pUbLiC pArTnErShiP!!”

Who is in charge of the program?  I thought they had to seek permission from the mission to check out of the hotel.  Maybe you’re right.  Maybe they just stare at the sky for a time before they say goodby and go back to wrestling

You can always manipulate with religion.    Some guy who used to bad booth the church of Scientology.   He founded a church called the church of Scientology  sucks on the belief system that Scientology sucks.   Now the church of Scientology can’t sue him because it discriminates against his religion.   Look it up I dunno how to make this up 

That was the guy who did the insane Lego videos.

But yea, I agree.  Trying to fight back against this will be tough.  Same reason there are so many “synagogues” in private homes in Ocean County NJ.

All that I'm going to say.. this is absolutely crazy.

It seems blasphemous for these lovers of the Lord to use their religion as a loophole for college eligibility. I've literally never heard of a Catholic taking a mission trip, let alone in the middle of their college education. This is just a terrible look for Cael and PSU.

This is just pretty gross. Granted, I am interested to hear how the PSU faithful try to spin this into something else.

Stare at the sky for what?  Diamonds?  This is obviously a PSU ruse, nay, distraction. They want us to believe we are rocking horse people eating marshmallow pies. And they will just smile as we drift pass the flowers. 
it’s a hoodwink. like Lucy pulling the football out.

Nope, not at all.  But I can understand why you would assume that.

I don’t even know if these guys have a plane ticket to ride to wherever they are going.   Do we know where they are going.   They could even go to the black Dakota hills.   For all I know

So do you think the primary purpose of these missions is actually for their religion?  Or by “maximizing life’s potential” do you just mean bending NCAA rules in order to preserve eligibility?

100%.  They’re already spinning it by saying things like “it’s PSDS,” or that people are just jealous Cael was the first one that tried this.

But except for Oklahoma State, PSU is really the only team that could benefit from doing something like this.   But I wouldn’t be surprised to see Wyatt Hendrickson help facilitate a year of military service for some of their guys.

This is Carls attempt to ramble on, to make us think we’ve found the queen of all our dreams. All so he can ramble on.

I guess I can best answer it like this:

I don’t know these individuals, and I don’t know what’s in their heads, and I’m not going to judge what I don’t know nor pretend to know what I don’t know so that I can feel better about myself. 
 

If it works for them, is best for them, and they’re doing good things and progressing and growing in their life….good for them, I’m happy for them. It really doesn’t impact me at all so I don’t see the purpose in judging situations and people I know nothing about.

I knew this amazing wrestler.   Forgot the first name.  Last name rose.  From pa too.    He used to ramble on so much.  But man he was a good wrestler.  D2 AA I think

What we know is that they weren’t going to start at PSU this year barring injury.  So if you think the primary purpose of these missions is anything but preserving NCAA eligibility, then I feel sorry for you.

It was a PA wrestler! That one that took your money and took the car. Big legged. No soul.

With 5 in 5 what is the reason for an exception?  You can still go on a one year mission and have four years to compete or a two year mission with three to compete.  A lot of kids only get two or three years to compete.

Do you not think Coach Taylor will likely do something similar?

He asked me to go to his soul shakedown party while he robbed me.   wtf is that even?  Maybe that’s why I am not a psu fan.   This was when I was young though

I don’t “think” anything.  I haven’t spent even a half a second trying to figure out or act like I know what I don’t know.  What else we know is there have not been any single report of bad characteristics of either of these kids, and that their decision is what works for them, is best for them, and will have a positive impact on others.  You do not need to feel sorry for me.  Don’t put that on yourself, I’m just fine.

Pushing the boundaries of ncaa rules for personal gain or team gain  often is a decision that works for you.   Using religion to bend ncaa rules isn’t good for the sport and will lead to more bending of the rules

Well like I said, pretending to know the thought process of people I’ve never met, never talked to, and don’t have really any understanding  of their personal life is not on my to do list.  But people are more than free to do so if it makes them feel better. I’m fine with the fact that it’s best for them and will have a positive impact on others.  And sacrificing a year of training to do so.  
 

Good for them.
