You're the one who turned it into a work analogy. Now we're switching back?

The general idealogy is that "they transferred for NIL money" so in that essence it is a work analogy.

No way! Brock Hardy is super cool. (Not as cool as Mendez but still super cool)

I am not a Nebraska supporter generally, but Hardy has won me over to the super cool point of view.  A lot of super cool wrestlers out there and we do not know all of their stories.  Love his attitude and love to watch him compete - relentlessly active and inovative.

Everyone here knows that I am the biggest Carter Starocci fan so I really only wish him the best but I think it would be really funny to watch pond scum Mineo and the PSU faithful try and defend him after he forfeits out of the tournament, leaves Philly, and writes some boulderdash on twitter.

I suspect Starocci's doing it to mess with people. Ferrari genuinely believes he's a golden god.

Nah there's not enough evidence to suggest this is a troll on his part (outside of maybe the Arnold beef).  See: his crashout at B1Gs last year.

A+ on the use of balderdash (F- on spelling).

Balderdash holds a special place in my heart. I was doing an interview and I was about to say "bullshiit". The B was locked and loaded, and half way down the barrel, when I though better of swearing and I with an awkward hitch I said "balderdash". The next day, a writer I have always loved picked up the quote while also using my name in his article. I can now die a happy man. And I am convinced it was for the arcane word choice.

"Malarkey" is also a solid choice, but prob not next to balderdash, esp considering your story!

AJ (because he's a cornball and also, reasons) and Gable (because it would be shocking and also, reasons) are the two I'd want to see go down.

I'm ambivalent about Starocci BUT... just saying... if he whiffs on #5 it'll probably save us from a bunch of fussing and nitpicking every time one of those GOAT discussions comes up

Taye Ghidiali is a prime example of this, and from his own mouth, Scotti Sentes was the one that encouraged him to transfer so that he could be in a better training / financial situation rather than staying at Cambell. Who knows how much he'll be getting for his year at Michigan, but it's certainly going to be helpful in setting up his life after collegiate wrestling is over. Taye had nothing but loving words to say about Scotti and his time at Cambell, and mentioned how important Scotti will be in his life going forward. It's not about an athlete turning on their program, but undeniable beneficial opportunities that can come to athletes to transfer in todays college landscape.

Starocci for sure no 5xer's! Would Dan Hodge have won 5? Koll? Cael? Yanni?

I think he's grown up/matured a lot..looking forward to see how he acts in Philadelphia.

He’ll act fine - with the cameras on, hopefully he’ll play fair when gets an opponent close to the edge of the circle.

Oh, and the correct answer is "Carter Starocci".  A combination of reasons: I don't like the 5x national champ thing, I don't like his abject refusal to say anything nice about any of his competitors, along with his twitter fingers s--t talking, and finally (this has nothing to do with Starocci) Parker Keckeisen represents everything good about the sport and it'd be great to see him finish on top again.

You don't like the fact that Carter received 5 postseasons yet are rooting for a guy who also got 5 postseasons.
