The fruitcakes know that a tariff is no different than a corporate tax hike except that it actually brings jobs to Americans instead of forcing them overseas 

Oh really? Is that what Faux "news" told you to think and say? The corporations don't pay it, YOU pay it because they raise prices to cover their costs. Tariffs can be intelligently used to protect national industries that complete against foreign industries, but tell me, have you ever known of the orange imbecile doing anything intelligently? So what industries are being "protected" by Trump's idiotic tariffs against Mexico and Canada? 

Perhaps a class on economics at the local Jr college could shore up your lack of knowledge on the topic. Trump himself stated the tariffs on Canada were because they were allowing unfettered immigration AND DRUGS through the US border which, like 99% of what Trump says, are lies.  Trump just does what his rightwing handlers tell him to do, he's an empty hat and has always been. 

You've been had by a conman (and not a particularly bright one) , brainwashed by rightwing agitprop, and are probably clapping Trump's dismantling of the US economy.

He hasn't even committed to Iowa as of yet.

I may be an RU homer, but I really want this commitment to happen already so it can complete Minnow's meltdown over the kid leaving.

I've listed other Ohio wrestling forums on here before. Not sure Phillips can list them as he isn't too favored by fellow fans on the local boards.

Please do?

He has a combined three wins in two NCAA tournaments: 2-1 over Brayden Palmer, Fall over Caleb Weiand (who finished the season with 13-18 record), and 2-1 over MAM. Not exactly a great hit list. Minnesota could upgrade here to say the least.

Hey comrade sheeple , you libtardos are out in force saying tariffs are taxes and taxes are bad. That jr college economic class would teach you that tariffs are divided up amongst the importing country, the company and the consumer.  The corporate tax hikes that Dems are pushing get 100% passed on to the consumer.  This economy was dismantled by Bidenflation the last four years but your MSNBC and C hinese N ews N etwork  comrades won’t tell you about it so you wouldn’t know.

Why do you think Welsh is lying?

In general, I don't believe that many high caliber wrestlers at high profile schools are hopping into the portal without a pretty clear understanding of where they're going. It's definitely possible that Welsh didn't have direct conversations with the coaching staff, but I do not believe he got into the portal without knowing he was going to be welcomed onto the PSU team.

@BAC Calm down it's not that serious. I am not claiming PSU blatantly poached Welsh, but to act like there wasn't contact between the two prior to his entrance into the portal is illegal. I believe he wanted a better training situation, and PSU gladly granted his desire. But in his interview he acted like he blindly went into the portal to see what kind of opportunities were going to be there for him, which I don't believe at all.

A lot of buzzwords in here. 

 

Tell me, have you ever had an original thought or have you always taken your key talking points from Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson? 

[poorwrestler]

This conversation should hit the transfer portal the hell outta here

I would not call it a poach even if they did contact him before he went in the portal. He made it pretty clear he was done with Ohio State based on what happened with this season. Seems like that had been festering for a while.

99% of what he says is a lie? Seems like a made up stat. 

Who are President Trump's handlers?

Parsing semantics here, brother. Distinction without a difference.

Drama unfolding with Kyle Bratke calling out Iowa directly on twitter for allegedly trying to poach Watters, Iowa posters on HR saying that Watters' family reached out to families of current Iowa wrestlers first, and @Husker_Du saying he has heard that many schools reached out to Watters last year but hasn't heard iowa.

This is getting a little lost in Socratic questioning of what "poaching" truly means. I do not know if the events in December led to PSU representatives reaching out and seeing if Rocco would like to join them, or if Rocco reached out to see what they could offer him if he hopped on the PSU train.

At the end of the day, PSU is not getting Rocco Welsh for free, and they brought in a high profile transfer from another school. I'm not claiming villainy. I just don't understand the efforts to act like PSU is operating in a more virtuous manner than any other of the big players.

which also doesn't make sense b/c he also wanted to be closer to home.

So in summary wanted better situation, wanted to be closer to home, but didn't know if PSU would take him.  Any other school close to home would have been a downgrade in training partners etc.

Clearly conversations were had ahead of time - and that isn't that big of deal everyone is doing it

It's just PSU fans and PSU media refuses to pretend they play the same game as other schools
