Shouldn't you be paying your gambling debts?

You know, I always though Cedric had a strong resemblance to Dan Gable... could be why Kramer didn't put up a fight.

This whole thread is completely asinine and so disingenuous it hurts my head. Between the name calling and the "post your proof"..."no you post your proof"...and my favorite..."that isn't true because they don't list their source". All of these types of statements are indicative of people not wanting to have an open and honest conversation. Was just talking about this with my son and parents yesterday...people seriously don't want to have open and honest conversations about guns and mass murder. We all are fed the opinions about guns and murders by completely and 100% biased information...and no one wants to open their minds to look at things from a different point of view. First off EVERYON agrees sensless killing is terrible and needs to stop. But one side isn't ready to have a conversation that the big bad gun isn't the root cause of the problem nor is the big bad AR15 an assault weapon nor a weapon of war (I'd take my dad's semiautomatic .284 rifle over an AR15...can have the same capacity with a much larger bullet and stopping power)...thos on the other side also need to open their minds to discussions about gun laws...not bans, but sensible gun laws. But EVERYONE needs to have the discussion around mental health and self-accountability/responsibility and being held responsible (aka., parenting!), which to me is what is completely eroding in this society. So, name calling and the back and forth of I know you are but what am I solves nothing, so if anyone wants to have an open conversation and is ready to learn others point of view, I'd love to have that conversation. And here is a start, if someone post something that you don't believe, or agree with, go look up the information yourself, saying the ownness is on the person who posted it to back it up is the first sign you are not at a point to have an open and honest discussion.

I certainly think Mastro came out of this looking pretty sleazy

Post probably also belongs in the twins separated at birth / doppelganger thread.

I was surprised Brooks and Starocci didn't. They need to get away from Taylor and Dake. /JimmyC post

I agree with this commitment, why wouldn't you go to Heavyweight U However UW has a massive problem on their hands, you have a ton of instate talent and all of them are going elsewhere.... Thats bad leadership and development

I kind of like how you used the word, chattel. (Don't hear it much, now-a-days.) D3

Time for a change in Madtown....if you can't land home grown kids there is something wrong.

Well yeah it seems like Michigan could be a big player in the transfer market for the foreseeable future. But the Covid year seems to have added guys to the portal in the first place that may not have been in there otherwise.

Anyone see the tweets from Milholf and Woodley ripping Jason Leonard and the admins at OU? Holy $hit, they ran over Leonard big time.....

Look, I’ve played rugby with the best of them. But here in the States that word doesn’t fly. You’re better than this and the fact that I of all people has to say that should speak volumes. Once every five-ten years is more than enough, but at least 3x in a week or two? Be better than that. I already REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED ZAHID REDACTED STATE-WEIGHTCLASS REDACTED and then edited + requested hide because I wrote some crappy shit. Be better than me, and be better than that word. It’s not ours to own.

They are welcome to immediately go to the US Olympic Training Center and join the Elite Accelerator Program anytime and/or not prioritize participation in NCAA folkstyle at any time. It worked for Cejudo, Snyder, and Aaron Brooks.

Sure, just have those up and comers make the National Team. Selection criteria were created by a committee of folks from the USAW Olympic Committees, coaches, and current athletes. Those up and comers are also free to enter the Spanish Grand Prix, Deglane, Dan Kolov, Bill Farrell, Yarygin*, and other international tournaments through their RTC. Plenty of opportunities for younger guys to go out and compete.

What's your issue with the roster? Nine golds & one bronze. The only one not to win gold was Hall at 86kg.

We sent Gilman Vito Yianni Retherford Burroughs Dake Hall Mach Snyder Dom and came away with nine golds and a bronze.

This probably should be PA state champ Tucker Hogan from Daniel Boone HS. Hogan committed to Lock Haven a few days ago. Boone himself ran out of eligibility about 265 years ago.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You need to look up the word Marxism

Needless to say, anything that makes Northwestern wrestling fans cry is a big plus for me [See Figure 1 below], but the creation of the Stanwestern Wolvercats maybe goes too far. You've probably heard by now that Michigan has taken three wrestlers from Evanston's Big Ten Team and added them to their new Wolvercats lineup. THE JOE MONTANA PARALLEL Additionally, the Wolvercats added a wrestler from Stanford, which is basically a West coast version of Northwestern, but for hippies. What Shane Griffith has done is a Joe Montana, going from sunny California to a dank Midwestern city that is home to the most overrated football coaches in history (Schembechler and that current fellow). See Fig. 2 below. To lure Griffith from the land of long hair and LSD parties, the Wolvercats may have paid more for him than San Francisco originally paid for Joe Montana: Is $85k the going rate? I don't know, that's a guess on my part. Including the outrageous cost for what folks in Ann Arbor euphemistically call "an education"--while boldly looking you straight in the face and without the hint of a smile--it may actually be more. Is this going to be worse than free agency in professional sports? FREE AGENCY IN THE PROS In college, there used to be a device called the National Letter of Intent, which a high schooler signed to join a university's athletic program. It was binding. It was basically a contract. Now, it may as well be called a "National Letter of Perhaps, or Perhaps Not." In the 1980s, professional sports saw the development of free agency. This was an end to the "reserve clause" in pro contracts which allowed owners to keep players for as long as they wanted. After the rise of free agency, a player could negotiate with other teams after his contract expired and not be bound to the one team with which he had originally signed. So, it appears that at the present time, even professional sports teams are more stable than college teams because of that initial contract. See Fig. 3 below, featuring Lionel Hutz. Today, in college wrestling, in football and in basketball, athlete movement can be as volatile as a swinger's party in Palo Alto before Aids. Take the case of Aaron Nagao. He was wrestling last year for Minnesota but then transferred to Penn State for this season. My theory is that he jumped ship because of my nickname for him, "The Gopher Choker." It was too damn good. He fled that nickname, knowing that "The Penn State Strangler" was basically a rip off of Nick Simmons and probably wouldn't catch on. As you can see in Figure 4 below, Nick Simmons seized that nickname and won't let go. Nagao, instead of embracing his new moniker, transferred to a new school to avoid it! That's right. He transferred schools to avoid a nickname. A MODEST PROPOSAL Some folks believe that the pendulum has swung too far. Other folks don't know what a pendulum is. I suggest to the former this reasonable solution: Give wrestling coaches the authority to trade athletes to other teams for other wrestlers, cash and/or a practice room partner to be named later. With this authority, a coach could see that one of his wrestlers had entered the transfer portal, and, before that wrestler could come to terms with another team, he could be traded to a third team. Problem solved! It is either that or wrestlers can decide to choose a school with an incredible staff of PATRIOTIC AMERICANS who will value them as human beings and not as a commodity, who will mentor them, and who will work with them to become overall better citizens of this the greatest country on Earth, the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. Kind of like the ILLINOIS staff. See Fig. 5 below. ___________ CODA I literally cannot recall whether I did the photoshop art (below in Fig. 6) for the three-time California state champion Nevills or the four-time Cali state champion Nevills. Or, was it the pure-blood wizard from Hogwarts? ___________ The original article was posted on The ILLINI Wrestling Blog and Forum and Beyond here. Come for the wrestling, stay for the Pizza!

If we're talking about a Karl Farbman armoire, he's golden.

Charlie Millard - 165 Hunter Lyden - 174 Mx McEnelly - 184 Gavin Nelson - 197 Koy Hopke - HWT That sounds like a GREAT end of a lineup!

Woah, Minnesota will have a great lineup at the end of their lineup in the future! Charlie Millard - 165 Hunter Lyden - 174 Max McEnelly - 184 Gavin Nelson - 197 Koy Hopke - HWT

Assmunch could be used too... but asshat also is somewhat popular, as well: asshat Meaning & Origin | Slang by Dictionary.com And, the ladies, definitely DO NOT LIKE the word, C#*T... it makes them pretty angry and want to kick the "offender" (insert the male's name here) in the family jewels. MEN... Protect Your Treasure! Don't Say C#*T! (... end of PSA.) D3

Anyone surprised by who DIDN"T enter the portal? I thought Sean Harman might enter from Missouri with Hawks and Whiting there.

The bad part about all of this is that I was told from a very reliable source that Coleman wanted this job, BAD. His inlaws are from OKC and it is time for a move. I heard a few names already that he wanted on the staff. I also heard Mark Perry softly put his name in, but then seen the shit show and was not really wanting it.

But 10 hours in 1 day is better than 5 hours day one and 8+ hours day two. I know that doesn't add up but schools always take advantage of the time to split up sessions and get more sales at the concessions stands. Sometimes even charging more at the door. Plus it is 1 weigh-in. Over all this is a really good change.

Thank the teachers union for that, not the host schools.

Fair enough. In my defense I have been in Connecticut the last month or so working with a slew of Rolls-Royce gents and they use that word like we do grease in a fryer. Can I use the term 'turdbiscuit' or 'buttmunch' yet? Grandkiddos are using it a lot. It sounds fun.

Also @nhs67 I really like you even if you root for the better engineering school and use the word keggers

Yeah, that's why gun violence happens at the same rate worldwide.

I'd rather Amit go down if it's possible. She's a huge step up from Molinari.

This just about sums it up.

Money. It does things. Much good, but also bad. When once we had colleges that sought to balance mind and body, that saw the benefit sport … the boost in esprit de corps, the creation of bonds within the school community but also connections to their local communities and other similar schools. Student athletes. Fun sport. Good stuff. Hmmm, and then … realizations. Good sports teams help create active alumni donors … let’s invest and earn ‘revenue’ from the effort of these student athletes. Wait, we can sell tickets and get ad revenue! Let’s invest more and make more money from them …. And the slope was slippery. Millions and millions made. Powerhouses created. Rich people with desire to influence and gain prestige are attracted like moths to the light. Early incentives are morphed and altered. New incentives rise.

I'm guessing his hire to the staff will focus on that group... guessing.

I believe that the wrestlers will be release if Bono signs off on it.

No one is signing off on that.

As a Badger fan, I would be ok with this!

Lou Rosselli

I do not think this is universally true. The NIL would need to apply for 501(c)3 status with the IRS (and the IRS would need to approve their application). I am sure some have done this, but I doubt all have, as it limits what they are able to do with the money collected.

Chris Bono

Bill Zadick is heading up there directly after Sunday brunch with @SoonerKing.

Me: I’m from Chicago, too. You: Oh yeah? Where in Chicago? Me: Well, a suburb.. to the north. You: Which one? Me: … Milwaukee. You:

Thats the Goonies.

Boonies by definition means an affluent community containing 25 Frank Lloyd Wright houses.

He's from Oak Park, which is absolutely not anywhere near the boonies. Unless the definition of boonies means an affluent community containing 25 Frank Lloyd Wright houses.

My personal favorite is the deer analogy after he beat Joey Dance in the quarters 2015. (that part starts at 1:27)

I am kind of, 'that' and I accept it. Appreciated the kind thoughts...
