Wasn't sure if this was posted somewhere else. Saw this post online about Yianni after the loss.... Much respect for the young man.... still my pick to win it.

No surprise. They are the party of tax breaks for the rich. Reagan, Bush 2, Trump. It's what they do. Hell, most of the middle class is so stupid anymore, they don't even have to be sneaky about it.

It is easy to share disinformation without any research with a simply share/retweet on social media without even reading the article or any due diligence if it "supports" your line of thinking. Remember last year when a news person on Facebook put they "Support mandatory VACATIONS?" People commenting were going off the rails because they are idiots and are easily triggered by anything against their beliefs. At what point should disinformation result in deletion of content or banning of the offender? If someone comes on here and says a prominent person in the wrestling community is a part of some highly illegal activity without any proof, should it be taken down? What if that person is one of the InterMat people? With social media and even a smaller version like a messageboard comes responsibility to curb disinformation or else we have the "if true" people that comment on anything that doesn't fit their beliefs or narrative.

I always go back to a comment RBY made after winning last year. He was talking about what Cael Sanderson said to him right before he went out for his first final. It was something along the lines of, "In ten years no one will remember this." I think it is a masterful way to diffuse the tension and let a wrestler just wrestle.

Re: capital cases. From an economic standpoint, it’s cheaper to keep someone alive in prison than it is to conduct at least two trials for a capital case. Also, the fact that there is a massive racial disparity in terms of who is tried for capital offenses sticks in my craw. Last but not least, the number of capital cases overturned in the last forty years is staggering. Not on technicalities; stuff like police suppression of exculpatory evidence. Or DNA evidence that meant that the person convicted in court could not have been the person who committed the crime. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One caveat about wrestlestat bonus rate calcs, they do not include MFOR in the numerator, but they do include them in the denominator. They should either be included in both or excluded from both. But in their current form, wrestlestat occassionally understates bonus rate. It was probably most notable last year due to the large number of MFOR and small number of matches.

This doesn't surprise me at all. He has always given off that vibe of servant leadership.

Secret Sauce = Cael Sanderson simple answer

Are stupid. Discuss.

This Wednesday, new D1 Lindenwood will be wrestling the Knights at home at 7PM.... Should be a great dual and the first home one of the season Thoughts?

Mike Lindell is apparently going to challenge Ronna McDaniel to be the chair of the RNC. I’m sure that will result in change that makes the Republican Party more able to win the votes of Americans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Since 1973, at least 190 people who were on death row have been exonerated. That’s a lot of people that ***someone*** likely knew was innocent but either through malice, indifference or negligence, worked to get sentenced to death. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wrestling is 90% mental. The other half is physical.

1982 177 bracket had Schultz, Banach, Reiss who all had titles prior to that year

Except Carr was at 157 not nearly as deep as 165, either year. Of course, all of this is relative because it’s just my opinion, which doesn’t mean shit.

Once again, baloney. I did an entire presentation on this a few years back, all the while tricking my audience (older and middle-aged people) who also think that they were smarter than "the kids today. Unfortunately, our data shows that kids just keeping getting brighter and brighter. https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2013/06/student-test-scores-continue-rise-just-they-have-past-40-years/ ONLY drops in 50 years have been during COVID, which coukd be expecked. https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/ltt/2022/

I read(fwiw), 18 of the top 25 donors were/are Republican. I believe, 'extremist candidates' were a factor...

Hunter Biden's laptop has been in gubment hands since 2018, I believe. Seems a little odd that Deuce wouldn't have insisted that someone find something of substance on it when he was "in office." Nothing.

The tone is better here for some reason. It's clear there's a large divide, but it hasn't degenerated into name calling and sloganeering. That's a big plus.

Looks like 64% was the highest bonus rate among last year’s champs except for Steveson and Suriano (and Suriano only had 16 matches)

Close - but the Gophers had an AA at 157 in 2009 and it was not DS. They had no entry at 149 though. So it looks like only Leen and Gregor Gillespie were defending champs at 157 in 2009.

Ah, gotcha. I've been studying that phenomena of us only hearing the extreme, but there are several reasons for that. One, they're the loudest, most frequent voices, so it's easy to think they are the norm, Second, conservatism today lives on extremism. Tattletale "News" and AM radyo pushes extremist ideas 24 hours a day. Bill Mahar correctly says that there's no such thing as too extreme in the Republican party today (30% of the electorate). You see it in their views, policy proposals, politicians, and candidates.

2009 157, Burroughs (returning AA but 1st time finalist) Poeta. Returning finalist. Going for 3rd, former champs Leen and Gillespie. DNP former 149 champ Schlatter.

Agreed. 'Masterful' may work many ways. Perhaps he told Nolf, "Give them something to remember in ten years."

Ahhh, yes, now the forum is for real where Iowa gets attacked very quickly in an unrelated thread. Now we're cooking with gas. Seems like Iowa just lost two high profile matches without incident.

2008, 149 weight class had about 6 NCAA finalists I believe. Metcalf, Schlatter, Burroughs, Churella, Jenkins, Caldwell, Palmer, etc.

He is an impressive individual, certainly. I still have him taking 149 at NCAAs.

I lo Sometimes those East Coasters have their own vocabulary... you know... States.... :) It's always good to see class acts like this. I don't know Yianni or follow Cornell as closely as some of you, but it's great to see guys who are as accomplished as he is being a servant leader rather than a name that is above the team and the sport. Very classy.... and good to hear that Wisconsin followed that up with class as well. Stories like this make you a fan of Yianni no matter who you root for.

I also was there when Gomez beat Yianni 11/19 at Cornell. Robert Owens was 100% correct about Yianni's demeanor toward the end of the match, and after the match. He was total class. I would add that I thought Gomez's actions during and after the match were very classy. He didn't get in Yanni's grill afterward, just shook hands. He did taunt the (extremely vocal) crowd slightly after the match, but considering the magnitude of the upset I'd say his celebration was very low-key. He then went over to his teammates and celebrated with them. Considering the atmosphere, I'd say Chris Bono and his whole team were pretty classy before, during, and after the entire dual. (I was initially confused by his referring to the match as part of a tournament. It was a dual, Wisconsin v Cornell. Then I realized this must have been written by someone who may be unfamiliar with wrestling lingo.)

Bummer, I'll be back in NM by then Always wanted to visit the Geary Tournament.

Yianni comes off as a class act. I wish some coaches (cough cough "Tom Brands" cough cough) would teach their kids sportsmanship and losing with class.

Definitely agree he needs to develop his own attacks.

No worries Tobus. Nice to see you here.

This quote, 2x

not a dedicated source, no. Oklahoma does a poor job in general covering the sport, IMO. I do not think there is any mention in any of the main newspapers about Oklahoma having this many top ranked teams, or kids. In other words, owrestle is the best and maybe the only source...sorry for the confusion.

Amen!

Abortion is a medical procedure that is decided between the pregnant woman and her doctor. Your turn.

O'toole may have to beat carr 4 times this year. Scuffle,isu dual,big 12s and nationals. That's more than carr has lost his entire career.

I think he majors Carr. Lots of people probably don’t realize just how good this kid is. He shut it down in the all star match. He doesn’t stop just keeps going keeps scoring. Special

Just my opinion. We will see how the year goes.

Who is Sasso? I’ll take “Wrestlers that tend to look better at the end of the season” for 400, Alex.

Yes, thanks @Husker_Du and @BobDole. Moderation in moderation. This is a drastic upgrade from themat.com.

I’d put my money on Kerk. Improvement is real.

Easy pickings for 'oppi

Young people are stupid. That is demonstrable. In my day, everyone knew their multiplication tables. Now, they need a calculator. In my day, everyone knew we had 50 states. That is debatable now if you believe man on the street type videos. In my day, everyone knew about the checks and balances built into the Constitution to protect the union. Most young people today don't know the difference between the House and Senate in Congress. They cannot articulate their position on anything, "like you know, I just like feel that way, you know?" They think they are owed something while putting no effort into making it happen for themselves. They think a minimum wage job should provide a living wage rather than being a stepping stone to bigger and better things. We have done them no service by giving them everything they want. They think if they want it it should materialize. Again, JMHO. mspart

The media lies have a substantial influence on young women voting behavior. While most people agree that abortion should be situationally legal, the media would have women believe that the evil Republicans will issue a comprehensive ban. The lies are so effective that in states like Kansas, where abortion is legal, even Republican women believed they were losing their rights. When the media generates a shitstorm about tiny percentages, stupid people do what stupid people do.

Hello everyone! maybe, you guys remember me, i'm a good friend of "coach J", "Cletus Tucker" and etc. I was very popular on the old board 2015-2019. So i come back! Old nickname was "Abdullahgadzhi Khuzin" Russian voice for you!
