Taylor/Yazdani is a 60/40. It's close enough that either is off their game, the other will win. When both are at their best, Taylor wins. Sadulaev/Snyder is more like 85/15. Sadulaev needs to be very underprepared or significantly hampered for Snyder to win.

yes. i talked about it (briefly) on the show i just posted. subscribe or you're banned for life. https://rokfin.com/post/148286/TFW-91223-Ayres--JR-Big-Board-Breakdown

This is the only way to close the loop and end this chain reaction.

Wittlake had a good reception by OSU fans at the dual against OkSt. Also I want to share this video where he was 12 and committed to Oregon State originally. I have always kept him to his word. Thank you Travis for fulfilling it.

I’m a little bothered we’ve went all these pages and breakfast hasn’t gotten any love. Next to lunch and dinner, it is the most important meal of the day…

Sorta hoping he comes back as: Ban Ban Basketball.

For those doubters, sure this is a reach but not impossible if Cruise makes all the right moves and Princeton simply shows him the money.

Yep, and all those Berny bro’s.

In the mid-1990s, the influential Canadian psychologist Bob Altemeyer described left-wing authoritarianism as “the Loch Ness Monster of political psychology—an occasional shadow, but no monster. ” Subsequently, other psychologists reached the same conclusion. Big ouchie there for BB. In other excerpts from the Atlantic: An ambitious new study on the subject by the Emory University researcher Thomas H. Costello and five colleagues should settle the question. It proposes a rigorous new measure of antidemocratic attitudes on the left. And, by drawing on a survey of 7,258 adults, Costello’s team firmly establishes that such attitudes exist on both sides of the American electorate. (One co-author on the paper, I should note, was Costello’s adviser, the late Scott Lilienfeld—with whom I wrote a 2013 book and numerous articles.) Intriguingly, the researchers found some common traits between left-wing and right-wing authoritarians, including a “preference for social uniformity, prejudice towards different others, willingness to wield group authority to coerce behavior, cognitive rigidity, aggression and punitiveness towards perceived enemies, outsized concern for hierarchy, and moral absolutism.” Published last month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the Costello team’s paper is persuasive, to the point that you have to wonder: How could past researchers have overlooked left-wing authoritarianism for so long? “For 70 years, the lore in the social sciences has been that authoritarianism was to be found exclusively on the political right,” the Rutgers University social psychologist Lee Jussim, who wasn’t involved in the new study, told me in an email. Yes we see where Ban is getting his "information" and obviously swallowed it hook line and sinker. I have to wonder at a person, especially a supposedly educated person such as these academics that would have believed that authoritarianism only exists on the right. What idiots!! May I name a few on the Left: Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Mao, Pol Pot, Chavez. These were certainly not on the right and if these idiots can't see that they were Authoritarian beasts, then there is no reason anyone should listen to them at all. It is patently obvious as I said before that authoritarianism is to be found on all sides of the spectrum. Anyone who denies this is an idiot (I don't know how to say this any softer so sorry if I ruffle a few feathers) and not thinking right and shouldn't be in positions of influence at all. Common sense is lacking with these people. mspart

2 - Whisenhunt and Wittlake - 7 from the West 141, 149 and 197 will be interesting weights for OSU. I wouldn't give the 197 spot to Mower quite yet. 7 transfer on the list posted... but I am not sure that's an accurate lineup...but it could be. 3 of those guys had to find new homes and Munoz is simply a Pendelton guy. Lineup will look very different in 2024...but that's kinda how it is now I guess.

99% certain this is what they were talking about at the dual last year.

It actually sucks to not be pumped for it. Uguev, Sidakov, and Sadulaev were all taking part in pro-war antics... there is photographic proof of it and Ukraine has put their list out to sanction them. Based on criteria they should not be allowed.

Your downwind neighbors must hate you.

Add a 'C' to that, bud. Thiccc. Even frame-wise he is smaller, though. I didn't just mean weight-wise.

Nice haircut!! mspart

Nothing surprises me after a Speaker of the House tore up a President’s SOTU speech.

They tried to impeach Trump before he took office. mspart

Did this fella mention anything about wanting to rid the world of the sport where the players dribble before they shoot?

I completely agree, but let’s not forget that Snyder is an Olympic champ and 3x world champ (and 8x world-level medalist) — and he has world class coaches and training facilities.

Stop. No, you stop. I'll stop when you stop. The sophomoric behavior of this forum is on full display. You're better than this. Move on for everyone's sake.

I’ve heard some crazy explanations about the physics of the attack. Someone said it was unheard of that fire could melt steel. Not a blacksmith, obviously. One of the videos said the plane’s aluminum couldn’t pierce the concrete and steel building. Aluminum’s selling point has long been that, pound for pound, it’s stronger than steel; obviously the narrator has never seen straws and such embedded in telephone poles and trees after a tornado or hurricane. As for the controlled demolition, it’s not hard to imagine the weight of the intact floors above the floor that is weakening due to heat, dropping one floor at a time as each one fails, to resemble controlled demolition.

Dude...you are a true master!! Looks so amazing!!

Five words approves this message!

Last word?

You are really doing quite the opposite. Everyone on this forum knows that if they respond to your posts, you will further respond to them. Posters are playing you like a fiddle and enjoy riling you up. The adult thing to do would be to not respond. Fellow posters will stop "antagonizing' you. problem solved, and (honestly) the mature thing to do.

The winners in the college crisis are largely going to be JuCos and public universities. Their costs are lower, they offer more programming and they receive state and federal tax funding beyond FAFSA filings. This route has ALWAYS been sensible, and will be there long after most of these other places fade into obscurity. In terms of wrestling CCCAA and NJCAA offer great options for student-athletes, and wrestling fans!

None of it makes me think. Very bad people were in the US and had a plan to do this. And they did it as part of a jihad they had in mind. The final leg of their triumph was stymied by courageous people aboard the last flight. We can continually thank our lucky stars for those people and their sacrifice. I remember the day clearly. I was awakened by a phone call of a co worker saying they heard something was going on in NYC but they didn't have access to any news. Could I check it out? So I was at home ( I had just moved to Hawaii), he went to work a little early, I was just about to get up to get ready to head in, so I turned on the TV and was both horrified at what I saw and fascinated. I told him and he couldn't believe it either. That was a surreal and crazy day. I watched as people jumped from the buildings. I watched the 2nd airliner go in. I watched both towers fall. mspart

Republican or not. I believe that the federal and/or state government should... temporarily remove parents’ custody of their children if parents refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications require that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/partner_surveys/jan_2022/crosstabs_heartland_covid_january_5_2022

replace 'shut down' with 'bet'

Wittlake 74; Plott 84

Oregon State it is!

Eric O has shown is willingness to utterly fail as an unbiased journalist. Today especially.

Keep drinking the Kool aid

Final list is out and Magomedov is in. That's pretty big news.

Alright so the final list is out. Sidakov is out. Biggest names are Kadzi, Dake, Chamizo, Tsabolov, Demirtas, Salkazanov, Kaipanov, Bekzod. Valiev is also entered, and he should be tough. (He beat Sidakov in July.) Should be a good show.

Ban, I must say you are a master of convoluting what people tell you. You feign surprise saying you think I am concerned about N word books. Far from it, you are concerned about banning books. I gave you examples of non R people doing that and you excuse that away with faulty and non germane illogic. And then say I am concerned about N words. My argument is that authoritarianism is on both sides and somehow through your dizzying illogic you come up with me being concerned about books with N words. It is an exercise worthy of an 8th grader. I love your handle name, but I tire of your excessive need to put out false tropes. If you believe them I'm sorry for you. If your students believe them, I sorry for them being influenced by you. It is a sad situation where a person takes facts and twists them to illogical conclusions and then repeats and repeats until people tire of the tail chasing. It is petty and immature. You keep on being you, it obviously has brought you much peace in your life. Peace out. mspart

Basch took him to the woodshed earlier today. It was really awkward finding myself rooting for the Penn State guy.

same. although as i often do, i'm taking the other path on Ban. i don't want him banned ever. there was a time when my brain melted with his every post. now, he's just too much of a treasure. Unbannable Basketball imo.

Yeah I don't think there is anything wise about including Russo or Belarusian wrestlers right now. Ethics and morals are ethics and morals.

Wiser men? mspart

Sounds like you missed Parris performance at the Ranking Series tournament in July. Everything he did there indicated he is ready to take on the best in the world. Don't let a couple losses to Steveson at Final X make you think he can't hang with Petriashvili, Akgul, or Zare.

Parris is great at one thing and good at many. Add in that you aren't going to find a more athletic heavy this weekend. The Iranians are great at one thing and good at many. Zare won't be as athletic or fast and might not be as strong. I hope I prove you wrong. If you are correct, I will tip my hat to your know-all. Just know that in the last few years these are the results Deng had against the other 'Big 3' Heavies... Lost against Akgul via 5-0 Decision Lost against Zare via 3-0 Decision Lost against Petro via 5-2 Decision Parris just beat Deng via 5-0 Decision. Using Steveson as a common opponent... Beat Akgul via 8-0 Decision Beat Petro via 10-8 Decision Beat Parris via 6-2 Decison Beat Parris via 5-0 Decision

Really? They only picked up Nagao, Messenbrink, Truax, and Kerkvliet? I'm not missing any, am I?

Kevin Darkus was phenomenal.. an absolute wizard. Great choice of year. This field is amazing.
