Mods, I think we can safely remove the 'Start new topic" button. We only need this one thread to cover all topics.

No i've seen the light. My assinine partisan hackery, which was punctuated by what I now admit is a grotesque ignorance of wrestling, is gone for good.

its starocci by a mile. If he wrestled for iowa he'd fit the "iowa heel" narrative and we wouldn't hear about anything else...

I like to think I am the most arrogant wrestler poster. Cocky? Check. Brash? Check. Haughty, pompous, boastful? Check, check, check. I'm a five tool player, baby.

Minnow currently running a hit campaign on Alvarez ,trying to be Goodales full time propagandist…saw on his twitter that allegedly Alvarez missed weight 10 plus times which doesn’t seem correct, also after 3 times thats probably on the coaches and apparently he “cost Rutgers valuable post season points” which idk what the hell that means ..like did Rutgers finish 9th in the big 10 instead of 8th? Or 27th at ncaas instead of 25th? Valuable postseason team points lmao I had to take a picture of the thread it’s so amusing either way if you have an athlete miss weight 10x you are a s**t coach bc it’s obviously after 3/4 times that the athlete shouldn’t even be attempting it …what do you even say as a coaching staff after the 7th time “ don’t worry Sammy you’ll make it this time , just another 2 hrs in the sauna and keep spiting”

I'd be happy to start with who is "they?"

Also, rumor is that Bono will sign his release so he can go to Nebraska at 133 for them. Still no word on Burwikk, though.

Carter Starocci. He can clearly back it up, but based on post -match interviews he seems pretty arrogant - especially for a guy that is so vocal about his faith.

Spencer Lee?

Are those reasons because we value equity amongst our citizens, such as girls and womens wrestling programs. Or is it significantly paying down the laughingstock debt and credit rating to a tolerable state, improving roads, and bringing small and large businesses ranging from manufacturing to technology to the entire state. Or is it because we throw governors and lackeys from both sides in jail because unlike 49 other states at least we actually hold the crooks accountable occasionally? Oh and we allow vaping too. Just don't get on the road after. We love it when you support the local economy and stimulate the local tax flows. Just don't do it if you're under 21.

Labbs is definitely not tier 3. You could make an argument (I would) for tier 1 but he's at worst tier 2.

Is that you, Dan?

And maybe the family just wanted to get out of Illinois, can you blame them?

Much like some wrestlers, I was actually bitten by a duck as a child.

My sister got bit by a moose once.

We live in a townhouse in LA and have astroturf instead of grass can't justify the water it would take to keep a healthy lawn while living in this dry climate. But having turf in the back is pretty lame. I'm not a fan

My mom had fake plastic bushes put in front of the house in the 70's. It was bad.

Whose on 2nd?

My favorite "badass wrestlers who love to smoke weed" were Billy Murphy and Travis Blasco. When they were freshmen at Iowa they actually tried to sit Tom Brands down and tell him they wrestled better high. Those guys were a lot of fun to be around in Iowa City.

Don't kid yourself, you are no TBarr.

Look up Rochester and Chatham those are the nice parts of Springfield (200k metro). You can also look up Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, and Peoria for similar. All have at least 100k populations in central IL at least 2 hours from Chicagoland. Or head south. It’s a big state. Zillow is your friend if you don’t believe me.

That’s my biggest frustration so far with my girls team. If it was in the fall I could give them the focus they need. My “girls” coach is there but doesn’t know squat so they aren’t getting all the help they could. I’m trying and they’re improving. But it’s very clear that when Illinois finally added it after fighting it tooth and nail. They made it super inconvenient and and an extra burden to do in a bunch of ways on purpose.. then have gone “well we gave you wHAt yOu wANtEd” its.. irksome

In honor of the late great Jeff Beck:

Sometimes these come in handy: ♪

if only there were an alternative to gasoline that promotes employee retention rather than redundancy (see: coal sector), new job opportunities, and reduces emissions... https://www.illinois.gov/news/press-release.25825.html Musk is a poser but at least he got EVs out of the Bay Area and into homes nationwide. Now IL is incentivizing that growth opportunity. Also, if you don't live in the North Shore suburbs or the nicest parts of the city, cost of living in IL is very low. Like, 5,500 square feet and an acre of land for less than $500,000 in the state's capital metro area while also having a much better infrastructure than many areas. Or if rural living is your thing there are plenty of corn and bean fields as far as the eye can see. There are actually plenty in Lockport aka the very edge of the outlier suburbs.

That wasn't the University of Wisconsin, it was the Milwaukee School of Engineering, a D3 school. Speaking of, if you want to help them out: https://together.msoe.edu/project/35597

Burwikk will never wrestle for Nebraska.

I'm not sure if this was posted yet but what an awesome story about Nic and his family. I became an even bigger fan of Nic after watching this 8-minute short by BTN. Well done. Team Greco.

This just in: We can say bitch.

I actually came to blows with a Swan. Damn thing fckd me up right and proper. I ain't ever been hit that hard in my life and I wrestled Mark Coleman... let me tell you... he had roid rage when he was a 190lber too...

but could be 157 by the time he gets out of the portal?

they?

Don't forget the 5th highest GDP in the country. And again, if other states actually charged those guilty of government corruption that we all know occurs then this country would be a better place. IL is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not the boogey man warzone wasteland that it is often portrayed as.

I heard a rumor. Was seeing if anyone else heard it. Is that ok with with big dawg? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In-state kid might pay less total money on 30% athletic than getting 75% as an out-of-state kid. School saves 45% of a scholarship. Everyone is happy.

If they are in the process of escaping sure, but why is the defensive wrestler required to try to escape but the offensive wrestler apparently doesn’t have to do anything except be “active”? Guess we can add this to the sequel to Stall Camp: “I try not to think of it as stalling, I think of it as ‘escape prevention.’”

I’m aware based on what I’ve read here and other forums. Folks move/transfer for several reasons, I’ll leave it at that. But the article stated he’s moving with his family and personal coach, so I’m sure he moved for academics

I got an exclusive sneak peak at the NFT.

Lamont had bigger problems with the ASU backup.

How long did you date her?

That would be terrifying (those things are enormous). As a follow-up comment, I knew a kid in college whose nickname was Moosebiscuit

I heard Bono would not sign-off to release the aircraft to depart Omaha.

Probably scared to wrestle Lamont

“This is the thread that never eeennnds it goes on and on my friiieend” ”some people started posting, not knowing what it wass” ”cause it’s the thread that never eeennds”

It got us to page 18, so we kept moving ...

This is great news. The Iran wrestling news thread on Indianamat is up to 37 pages in 81 days (0.46 pages per day) while this thread is at 17 pages in just 32 days (0.53 per day). With the addition of Covid we can definitely catch them. Keep up the good work.
