Where did anybody say that Biden is some mastermind running everything? He's a puppet. He just happened to end up at the top of the heap of shit. He is still a semi senile stumbling fool. Doesn't mean he can't be the "big guy", with a knack for the scam, it's second nature to him. Look at Kamala Harris, did she get to the VP position by being a genius? I guess there is something to be said that she knew whose yogurt to gulp. But that Moron is #2 . Fetterman didn't get to be a Senator by being a great orater. They all got to power positions by being in a party that awards dipshits and scammers based on lies and deceit.3 points

The AR in “AR-15” rifle stands for ArmaLite, after the company that developed it in the 1950s. “AR” does NOT stand for “assault rifle” or “automatic rifle.” AR-15 and other semi-automatic rifles are NOT “assault weapons” or “assault rifles.” An assault rifle is fully automatic — a machine gun. https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/what-is-ar15-rifle-history-of-firearm/3 points

Don’t forget that in the same election that put fetterman in office, Pennsylvania also elected a dead democrat. If you don’t think vote by mail and drop-boxes are a problem, he was dead a month before Election Day.2 points

Great story, WKN! It reminds me of the greatest quote in human history. By 1979, Jimmy Connors was a legend in human Tennis, having appeared in 11 Grand Slam finals. He won 5 of them. Connors was at the peak of his sport—ranked #1 for 5 years in a row—when he faced Vitas Gerulaitis in that year's Master's Cup. Connors had beaten Gerulaitis 16 times in a row, but on that day, that beautiful day, Gerulaitis won. At the press conference the garrulous Gerulaitis said, "And let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row."1 point

Just my opinion but here goes 1. Very expensive hotels 2. Many dangerous neighborhoods 3. Cultural incompatibility with that of the college wrestling zeitgeist 4. Homelessness/mental illness is everpresent 5. Very little interest in wrestling among locals. Many prominent athletic high schools in the region do not even have a team. 6. Expensive flights for the majority of schools which are based east coast and Central primarily. 7. Lack of public transportation 8. City is extremely spread out and difficult to navigate 9. Although Los Angeles doesn't have full seasons, March is typically overcast and somewhat unpleasant1 point

I know this to be an excellent idea from personal experience. For years I played racquetball against a D1 tennis player. He would destroy me, and quickly. His goal was to beat me 15-0. Once I scored a point he would lose interest in the game and I might score 5 or 7 more, but I only ever beat him twice. After one particularly brutal stretch I score a point and he turns to me and says, "Do you realize I just scored 25 points in a row?" I responded, "what are you talking about? The streak is one in a row to me." He was so pissed, he went on tilt and that was one of the two games I ever won. Celebrate early, celebrate often, you might not get a chance to celebrate at the end.1 point

There are several reasons for the preference for the 5.56 x 45 (AR) and the 7.62 x 39 (AK/SK) rounds. One is they are smaller and lighter than earlier military rounds. Another is that while they both can be deadly if they hit vital organs, they have neither the range nor the killing power of their predecessors. For the military, wounded soldiers take out more aggressors because they have to be tended to. As someone posted earlier, the LV shooter fired over a thousand rounds and killed 60, wounded over 400.1 point

Coach Pinfall Wizard: me thinks you could go further. Why not encourage celebrating the little things. Your kid is losing 12-0, given up 3:45 of riding time so far and get an escape, he/she should immediately transition into a backflip in celebration, the fans go wild. Maybe attach a mild taser on the drone to encourage kids to climb the rope faster with also a mild shock any time the feet touch the rope.1 point

A perfect example of a false equivalency. These rifles are designed to efficiently and effectively deliver death. We agree on that. You focus on vermin. I focus on humans.1 point

My point was that it is also good for mass shootings. It is the preferred weapon of the US mass shooter. My list was derived from the top 12 mass shootings in the United States. The .223 AR-15 that several here thought would be ineffective against deer and moose proved highly effective against humans in the Las Vegas shooting where 12 of the rifles were found to have fired 1,049 of tje 1,058 rounds fired that day, contributing to 60 deaths.1 point

Ok, so in this thread Biden is a cunning criminal mastermind running everything and avoiding leaving any semblance of credible evidence. In other threads he's a senile bumbling fool who can't stay awake and shits himself. It's so hard to keep up!1 point

Speculation is "fine" and "all good." UPDATE USA Wrestling now lists Daton Fix as being registered to compete in Poland at 61 kilograms. But that's fine. This blog was premised on offseason speculation so that's all fine. This was not the first time, nor will it be the last, that we've written a speculative article based on tournament registration info that was later changed or updated. All good, though, and best of luck to Daton and everyone competing in Poland!1 point

At 58,299 attendance was the third highest in the 12 year period ended in 1994, a period that included 2 tournaments at Iowa State and three at Oklahoma/Oklahoma State. During that time only Iowa hosted tournaments drew more. Not too shabby.1 point

He is lying. Trump at 77 years old is not driving the ball that far or that straight as the literal best golfers on the planet. It's ok that he's lying, but it's clearly a lie. And your first statement is just an outright lie, we as a society are constantly construing public appearances as statements, especially within the political sphere. I'm not even criticizing Bo for being conservative politically in these posts, but to just deny the reality, especially with as highly polarized a figure as Trump, is ridiculous. Appearing w/ a high-profile political figure is a political statement. If he was taking pictures at an autograph signing with a low-level state congressperson, then maybe not.1 point

I say in North Carolina. You typically have good weather in March, the 2nd most D1 teams of any state in the country (UNC CH, NCSU, App State, Davidson, Duke, Campbell, Gardner Webb, Queens). Charlotte has more hotels/eating options, and a bigger arena, but doesn't have a home town team. Raleigh has a home town team, but a smaller arena.1 point

McComas is tough, Walker knocked him off twice last year. Gonna be fun to watch 6A this year again in Oklahoma. 126 could be REALLY good in Oklahoma if the kids I think are gonna be there. JJ will more than likely end up at 132, Walker will be 126...but who knows. Donnell will be 126. (Gage Walker going for his 4th this year, committed to Mizzu)1 point

Two weeks ago marked the release of our recruiting class rankings and last week we followed those up with five schools that earned honorable mentions. So, we’re all finished with the Class of 2023 recruiting? Not quite. We’ve drilled down a bit and looked further into each conference for more recruiting information. With some of the traditional superpowers consistently atop national recruiting rankings, this will be a way for more schools to get recognized for their recruiting efforts. We’re saving the best for last as we look into the Big Ten, a conference that accounted for nine of the top-25 schools in InterMat’s Class of 2023 recruiting rankings. Before getting to the Big Ten, here are links to the conferences already covered: ACC Big 12 EIWA MAC Pac-12 SoCon Big Ten on the 2023 Big Board Illinois: #10 Kannon Webster (Washington, IL), #30 Braeden Scoles (Kewaskum, WI), #60 Will Baysinger (Prospect, IL), #113 Chris Moore (McHenry, IL), #179 Logan Swaw (Lockport, IL) Indiana: #59 Sam Goin (Crown Point, IN), #151 Bryce Lowery (Roncalli, IN), #165 Cheaney Schoeff (Avon, IN) Iowa: #6 Ben Kueter (City High, IA), #19 Gable Arnold (City High, IA), #26 Ryder Block (Waverly-Shell Rock, IA), #64 Kale Peterson (West Fork, IA) Maryland: #25 Dario Lemus (Clovis, CA) Michigan: #7 Beau Mantanona (Palm Desert, CA), #11 Sergio Lemley (Mt. Carmel, IL), #14 Joel Adams (Millard South, NE), #16 Dylan Gilcher (Detroit CC, MI), #38 Caden Horwath (Davison, MI), #51 Hayden Walters (Crescent Valley, OR) Michigan State: #98 Luke Vanadia (Brecksville, OH), #121 Remy Cotton (Davison, MI), #129 Max Vanadia (Brecksville, OH), #163 Dy’Vaire Van Dyke (Walsh Jesuit, OH) Minnesota: #15 Max McEnelly (Waconia, MN), #20 Gavin Nelson (Simley, MN), #145 Ethan Riddle (Germantown, WI), #180 Brandon Morvari (Simley, MN) Nebraska: #41 Ethan Stiles (Conant, IL), #44 Camden McDanel (Teays Valley, OH), #52 Weston Dalton (Pueblo East, CO), #66 Alan Koehler (Prior Lake, MN), #79 Kael Lauridsen (Bennington, NE), #94 Christopher Minto (Mariner, FL), #114 Matthew Moore (Mesa Ridge, CO) Northwestern: #58 Sam Cartella (Hudson, OH), #97 Jake Bostelman (Ponderosa, CO), #191 Dedrick Navarro (Nampa, ID) Ohio State: #3 Rocco Welsh (Waynesburg, PA), #22 Ryder Rogotzke (Stillwater, MN), #33 Vinny Kilkeary (Greater Latrobe, PA), #35 Brandon Cannon (Ponderosa, CO), #53 Brock Herman (Brecksville, OH) Penn State: #4 Josh Barr (Davison, MI), #9 Tyler Kasak (Doylestown, PA), #46 Braeden Davis (Dundee, MI), #93 Cael Nasdeo (Williamsport, PA), #175 Brendan Wentzel (Montoursville, PA) Purdue: #17 Joey Blaze (Perrysburg, OH), #29 Greyson Clark (Kaukauna, WI), #118 Orlando Cruz (Crown Point, IN), #177 Ashton Jackson (Portage, IN) Wisconsin: #31 Zan Fugitt (Nixa, MO), #82 Lucas Condon (Poway, CA), #115 Dylan Russo (Olentangy Liberty, OH), #126 Julian George (Christian Brothers, NJ) The Big Ten is a conference that stands alone from the other six DI leagues. Nowhere is that more evident than in recruiting. While most other conferences saw some sort of drop from 2022 to 2023 in recruiting Big Boarder’s the Big Ten rose…significantly. In 2022, 40 of the top 250 high schoolers chose one of the 14 schools in the Big Ten. This year 55 of the top 200 chose the B1G! With NIL becoming more widespread, I’d guess that this number only increases going forward. Not only did the Big Ten dominate on sheer numbers, their member schools signed an incredible amount of top-end talent. 13 of the top 20 recruits in the Class of 2023 chose Big Ten schools. Just under half of the top-50 (24) signed with a Big Ten school. 12 different schools signed at least one recruit in the top-60 nationally. Top Transfers Indiana: Danny Fongaro (via Columbia) Iowa: Michael Caliendo (via North Dakota State), Jared Franek (via North Dakota State), Victor Voinovich (via Oklahoma State) Maryland: Seth Nevills (via Penn State) Michigan: Chris Cannon (via Northwestern), Lucas Davison (via Northwestern), Michael DeAugustino (via Northwestern), Shane Griffith (via Stanford) Nebraska: Owen Pentz (via North Dakota State), Caleb Smith (via Appalachian State) Penn State: Mitchell Mesenbrink (via California Baptist), Aaron Nagao (via Minnesota), Bernie Truax (via Cal Poly) Purdue: Joey Milano (via NC State), Marcos Polanco (via Minnesota), James Rowley (via Wisconsin) Rutgers: Jacob Butler (via Oklahoma), Mitch Moore (via Oklahoma), Yaraslau Slavikouski (via Harvard) Wisconsin: Max Maylor (via Michigan), Luke Mechler (via Oklahoma State) Another “sign of the times” is the amount and quality of wrestlers that went through the transfer portal during the spring/summer of 2023. The Big Ten would have been excellent, one way or another; however, the transfer portal saw the conference add four wrestlers that earned All-American honors in 2023 with schools from other conferences. Additionally, four more wrestlers shifted from one Big Ten school to another. Again, with NIL and more rules favoring student-athletes, this number could increase as we go forward. At the same time, one explanation for the incredible number of transfers within the last year or two has been the extra year of eligibility for wrestlers active in 2021. This has led to wrestlers graduating and looking for other academic opportunities not available at their original schools. Under-the-Radar Signees Illinois: Peter Marinopoulos (Marist, IL) Indiana: Joey Buttler (Whiteland Community, IN) Iowa: Koye Grebel (Valley City, SD) Maryland: Clayton Gabrielson (St. Mary’s Ryken, MD) Michigan: Amann Gulacha (Hillfield Strathallen, Ontario) Michigan State: Jaden Crumpler (Niagara Falls, NY) Minnesota: Rhett Koenig (Prairie du Chien, WI) Nebraska: Tanner Frothinger (Eagle, ID) Northwestern: Dirk Morley (Regis Jesuit, CO) Ohio State: Stephen O’Neil (Seton Hall Prep, NJ) Penn State: AJ Fricchione (Bergen Catholic, NJ) Purdue: Cole Solomey (Kankakee Valley, IN) Rutgers: Max Hermes (Milan Edison, OH) Wisconsin: Simon Kruse (St. Clair/Mankato Loyola, MN) As a reminder, this category features wrestlers non on the Big Board (Top 200 in 2023). For most conferences, it’s easy to identify recruits that fit into this category. For the Big Ten, you can have some “under-the-radar” recruits that fall into the top 150-200 range. Even so, we’re going for the totally unranked angle. Big Ten Recruiting Rankings 1. Michigan (2nd nationally) 2. Penn State (3rd nationally) 3. Ohio State (5th nationally) 4. Iowa (6th nationally) 5.

Where Stanford fits into all of this is debatable, but he's dead on about other schools buying talent. And if they're going to allow college athletes to get paid like professionals, then they need salary caps like the pros have. Otherwise, teams are just going to buy their way onto the podium, the separation between the haves and have not's is going to grow, programs are going to die because of it, and the sport as a whole will suffer.1 point
