Can we pause a moment to acknowledge how impressive an achievement this is? I would say this is more impressive than his wrestling achievements. And that is not meant to diminish his wrestling achievements in any way.

Jfc you're something.

I have my doubts about how credible a witness she can/will be. Do not underestimate her ability to whack-a-doodle her way into being useless to the prosecution.

They shouldn't have another floor vote until they've decided the winner behind closed doors. They're making the Democrats look good, which is not an easy task.

there's not sex ed in elementary school and they're not sex ed teachers, ya blooming idiot. what they're pushing is highly inappropriate, and unsuitable for the age group. ya debased lunatic.

Should change the title of this thread to 'Perfect Is The Enemy of Good'. Cutting weight is bane of this sport. Its a tragedy that we still allow it. No one is winning or losing a scholarship at U8 Tulsa Nationals. But I guarantee, someone is running to make weight. Think about that? That should be a crime.

IMO, he just throws out a bunch of unsubstantiated, overarching accusations that happen to coincide with the emergence of Barack Obama.

You really are not.

I bet BB respects individuals' chosen pronouns and BB intentionally uses incorrect pronouns as a rhetorical device to illustrate the disagreement with those who do not. He would call them sir if they were Sue.

There are many shades of gray along the spectrum between handing out food, water and blankets, to training paramilitary forces (mujahideen, anti-communist forces), to actively aiding in terrorist plots. This seems to be closer to the first, no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s part of the delineation i was talking about. I don’t think you can show that Americans support killing civilians, raping girls, decapitating babies, or burning people alive.

As a betting man, it's wiser to push all in on the monkeys' first attempt.

Learn which weight class allows you to come in a few pounds under while at your natural weight.

I believe in the “you get what you earn” philosophy in life. If you want to lecture, maybe sign up as a guest speaker for one of your boy’s ‘classes’.

Holy Smokes!! Trump should have taken that to court! I wish he had some lawyers or maybe some contacts throughout this great nation of ours.

Something wrong with your computer, professor?

Greetings All, Spey, while he didn't have the testicular fortitude to make his own 'predictions' on where out non-Oly gents will go, he did do a write up of it and it will apply to this thread... https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/11280817-up-or-down-to-which-olympic-weight-goes-the-tweeners Below is a list of gents that I imagine will try to make a go at qualifying for OTT, in some way shape or form either via qualification tournaments leading up or being contenders at their NCAA weight class.

What does this mean, if not an accusation of sponsoring terrorism?

It is constitutional crisis if he becomes president. It is the solemn duty of Congress to elect their speaker. Procrastinating won't help, they already know each other - too well. Jordan was slamming talks of some Republicans working with Democrats but maybe they should. Might bring us closer together.

They are lowering the bar. Reminds me of a limbo contest. Could get pretty low. Jordan is not very big, but I can't speak to his flexibility.

I am willing to so stipulate. Add it to the list of reasons to be impressed by Shane Griffith.

Yes, weight cutting is not recommended, got it It's more so making sure they are on weight as the day goes on... I have 50+ kids on my JV team, it's hard enough to make sure they are all on weight once much less multiple times

I think the institution has been diminished for some time now. I believe they have the lowest approval rating of all the branches of government.

UNC, while a step below Stanford, is considered a "public Ivy" and has a very strong pedigree Woods finished his Stanford degree in three years with an academic overload because they cut the program. Anyone from those Stanford classes should be given a very big, very fair asterisk given the circumstances surrounding the program.

Pretty sure Woods got his degree from Stanford before leaving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This feels like we're heading towards madison weight classes. For dual meets, you show up, step on the scale and whichever wrestler weighs closest to that weight you wrestle that opponent on the spot. Obviously, I am being dramatic, but schools have taken steps towards limiting poor weight cuts. I believe doing mat-side weigh-ins is actually going to have a negative impact on people fixating on their weight. Let me check my weight 5 times a day to ensure I am able to wrestle and if I am 1 pound over because I drank an extra Gatorade after my last match I need to run it off before my next.

I was irked by all those who were certain that Koll leaving Cornell and then Stanford would result in mass exoduses of wrestlers at each school. But thanks for the warning.

How long did you stretch that shoulder before patting yourself on the back? If you're not careful, this is how injuries happen.

84 million ballots tallies counted. Not votes.

You think too highly of yourself to think you have that kind of impact on people. Video of her during the Palestinian/Jewish protests at the Capitol. You’re not wrong here.

This is like people who claim “Biden gave Iran six billion dollars! They attacked Israel with it!”. Well, no, we released six billion dollars of Iran’s own money to a fund, held in Qatar, and administered by the US Department of the Treasury, that allows them to purchase humanitarian aid supplies as approved by the US. Which, to date, has had $0.00 withdrawn from it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

King of accuracy shouldn’t have to ask.

I used to work for one of the prominent soybean breeders in the US. My roommate’s dad was a pretty well known wheat breeder. IP deal with Quaker. The answer: you take a flower from one plant and mash it into the flower, still on the stem, of another plant. Then you out a tiny little bag around it and mark it with a label, indicating “AB * XY” cross. Seeds result. You plant them, grow them out and take a DNA sample to verify they’re what you wanted. Cross them with each other, multiple generations, and eventually you have enough seed to sell. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Weigh in the whole team at once. Ten wrestlers not exceed 1,710 pounds...

only two options: A) the election was rigged B) the election was fair and the people of america, in record numbers, made the worst decision in its history.

Congressional Republicans seem hell bent on demonstrating their inability to complete the most basic administrative functions of government, never mind competently doing the people's business. Will their teen-like addiction to drama cost them with voters? Is there and unintended consequence at the ballot box causing moderate voters to walk away from Republican candidates?

Yes, as history has told us, if you leave the rich and powerful unchecked, they will rain glory and riches on the poors and exploitable.

There is always a need for legislating and governing. Times change, people change, things change……democracy changes. And each day…..shit happens. Legislating and governing is not automatically synonymous with “big government”

For many, government grinding to a halt is a feature, not a bug. They claim government doesn't work, then they go and break it, and then point at the government and say "see, it doesn't work."

Historically, I have been of the same view. Less action from the government costs me less money. The new dynamic now, though, is the silliness that is very serious of the debt limit and voting to fund the government. All it does is create unnecessary drama and cost tax payers money. It is all very Dwight Schrute Doomsday Device-y.

Will Betancourt who once wrestled for Ohio State - transferred to Penn State but did not wrestle - has ended up at Rider and is expected to start for the Broncs at 125 while returning starter Tyler Klinsky takes a redshirt year.

Guys. He’s clearly trying to “preach” a very.. questionable viewpoint.. by pretending to have a “discussion”. Stop giving him the attention he wants.. Besides.. if he actually wanted to.. and more importantly was actually doing things to help wrestling… He wouldn’t be so ignorant of the bureaucracy and financial realities on the ground. instead he’s spewing his bitterness to women and posting wiki excerpts about colleges. Dont give him the attention he’s clearly desperate for

No, really. Who do you suggest weigh in the individuals? That is a minimum of six more volunteers or officials for most tournaments. For that matter, where are we getting six scales? How do we know they are all calibrated the same? If someone misses on a scale on mat 1, do they get to try on mat 2-6 scales?

I’ve been around the sport for almost 30 years at this point and I’ve heard “matside weigh ins” thrown around since I got started. Not once have I ever seen it. I ask this openly to the board, how can something solve a problem when we have next to no tangible practice or data to support it. I hear people clamoring for it, but where does it actually occur?

That’s where we’d be if the last election hadn’t been stolen.

Too bad they couldn't get Truax and Olejnik to transfer. That would have been a very stout lineup. I really hope Vasquez can stay healthy. He is such a good wrestler.
