AN AIRING OF GRIEVANCES 1. Flo and Track, why do you make me click that "Are you still there" link every two minutes? You are the clingy girlfriend who is not worth this much attention. See image below. 2. With regard to #1 above, I'm a Flo subscriber, so why is this hurdle in my path? At least in the before times I got to see a stupid Jake Varner youtube video about Defense Soap, but now, what purpose does it serve other than to anger your consumer base? 3. The commercials. They still interrupt. I want to see hands raised, celebrations, the coach pumping his fist, etc. By the way, why commercials? 4. The cameras [at Senior Nationals] were better than the Flo average but still not as good as a birthday party in 1999. 5. Whoever manned the scoring table for Mat #6 wasn't trained enough. There was no link to Trackwrestling [most of the morning] and thus no live scoring. I had to go to the actual camera on FloWrestling to see that there were people wrestling on that mat. Surprise! 6. Why force us to toggle back and forth between Track and Flo? The bout board on Flo was useless, so I had to go back to Track to see who was wrestling. 7. At least during the matches that I watched somebody thoughtful at the table was usually kind enough to turn the camera when the action went off the screen. It didn't happen enough, mind you, but it was better than usual. 8. In the list of events on Track [on Friday], you [had] to go to page two and then a quarter of the way down that page to find Senior Nationals. Seriously, that's insane. On the first page of events, you [had] a Triangular, a Middle School conference tournament, two JV "mixers," four JV invites, a JV tournament, and a JV Open. There's also a Jamboree. What the **** is a "Jamboree"? No, don't tell me. I don't want to know. You're all going to prison for that! We have to scroll through all of this stuff. Please put an obvious link to the big events on the front page. This is so freaking obvious I laugh. Is there somebody at Flo sitting in a big leather chair petting a cat and chuckling evilly while thinking about the confusion this causes? "Chaos! I love CHAOS!" 9. Are you hiring?

Holy smokes! Is it really you? After MSU never showed up I thought you died of a broken heart

A+ for the use of irascible.

i realized how lame that was about the time I realized that I was a petty little person on the wrong side of every issue, and I should spend a lot more time carefully reading and digesting the thoughtful opinions of hammerlock3. I just didn't want to wake up one morning and find out I'm a bozo like this JimmyBT character!

I'm thankful we can watch wrestling. I remember when we couldn't...

The Iranian that Kolat wrestled who kept untying his shoes, which led to the rule that laces must be taped. As a fan, the Dean Heil rule is the best change in the last 20 years.

Good grief. Reach down and see if you got a pair. F ing rent free in your small mind.

Some of my "GOAT's".....won't pick just one.......in America first.....John Smith, Jordan Burroughs, Bruce Baumgartner (13 time world/Olympic medalist. Others throughout the world.....Arsen Fadzaev, Sergei Belaglozov, B. Satiev, Valentine Jordanov, Alexander Medved (12 time world/Olympic medalist....11 gold). *Karelin in GR. I like Levan Tediashvili on this list as well.....he won world championships in 3 different weight class, in Russia, he is considered by many to be their most techical wrestler of all time...has wins in the Olympic finals over both Ben and John Peterson. That's my rant, and I'm sticking to it...there could be others on my LIST.....LOL MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL ON HERE!

Yonger and Echemendia have both been very impressive today. Nasir Bailey has also been excellent

Much like the OSU/Cornell dual last season at the beach...

duals need to matter holy shit

Don't get me wrong. I love it. Loved it as a kid and that lasts. It is only as an adult that I love it for being such a bad example of adult behavior too.

Amen. Our family always found it hilarious that the adult, Dasher, is the one who says to the kids, "Let's not let Rudolph play in any reindeer games." Now that is some real Christmas spirit.

Even with the stupid winky face you reject the frivolity of the post? I'm gonna keep trying you irascible ol' ***duck**...

Good win.... and a good loss earlier 4-0 to Vito... kid is looking solid for a true freshman. With all the true freshman hype, he is flying. a little under the radar.

Take it easy brother. We all know...

125 is pure choas

Cornell wrestlers no longer shaking Little Rock coaches' hand after each match, like they typically do (Ungar did, but nobody after Vito got shoved).

I think it was 12-3 with Matthews being thrown a couple times

Yet he displays an uncanny dynamic of common sense and critical thinking skills that burn the TDS inflicted.

Fretwell on the mic...

Gremlins. It teaches you the valuable lesson of properly taking care of your presents.

Redlining - I know what it was. There are still places in my metro with notable race divisions by streets/neighborhood. You know more about the topic than me. I googled and didn't find much current information, and I am ignorant of redlining in 2023. I looked again and found this article. Redlining started in the 1930s and was made illegal in the 1968 Fair Housing Act and the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). My experience has always been that credit scores show you are trustworthy, and financial information validates you have the funds. I'm sure you could find misconduct and justified lawsuits... but few and far between. It violates the golden rule to redistribute tens of thousands of dollars from innocent taxpayers to 'balance' the net worths based on race or other factors. Merit. Merit. Merit. Teach how to have Merit. Work hard for Merit. Wells Fargo - I am not following that story about how people were impacted and if/how justice was served. Do say more, and include if this is a rampant problem of urgent importance.

Thanks for the discourse. I hear what you are saying about injustice... I just have an honest *conservative take that focuses on fiscal responsibility and the need for the government to have a balanced budget. Like with your reparation preferred spending, my preferred spending must take a back seat. *See the I side with discussion Once, my wife and I accumulated debt, spending $1500 a month carelessly. We audited the cause. We tested a frugal lifestyle, buying bulk pork, and saved $1000 monthly. I don't like pork for all meals! We recalibrated to live within our means and increased spending within a balanced budget. The government is spending outside its means and must recalibrate. The slaves, spouses, and children of slaves are dead. That fact, along with the historical distance to descendants, has reduced the priority of reparations from Urgent & Important to Not Urgent & Not Important for budget consideration. (See First Things First book on priorities). What is important now is enabling success for all those in need and that goes beyond descendants of slaves.

Sad days indeed. Much like the thirty seconds of the period we would get for the Olympics back in the day...

ESPN with D1 national finals on tape delay with entire periods of matches cut out. Maybe even entire matches?

Yes, this was fantastic. Made a fortune. I our marketing team came up with, "The Lou, the Gateway to the Stalls."

... sure but horse hair mats were the good ole days.

Allred is a very tough wrestler and has had good results against pretty much everyone in the NCAA with the exception of Sloan. It is a bad style match up for him. Styles make matches. He hasn't had luck with his neutral game against Sloan and Sloan is much better on the mat than Allred.

Carlton Hasselrig - no more D2/D3 wrestlers in D1 NCAA’s

Is Nahshon Garrett still offering both? On a serious note, are any college teams using it for regular duals? I believe App State tried it last year but are not doing it this year

First this was hilarious. I've had nearly all of these complaints for some time now. The only thing you missed was their microphones are also sound like they were from the 1980s otherwise you're assessment of Flo is spot on lol.

You're a week early. Festivus is the 23rd.

He looks like he did what I wish I did in college. Stop cutting weight keep lifting and wrestle to my potential. But that's not what we did in the 80s and early 90s. He is the prototype of what American wrestlers should be.

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

1. Plan is for Rocky to go 2. Wouldn't say Moore has won the spot, but expecting him to go. Seltzer has had weight cut struggles so far but I do think he has a high ceiling. 3. Maybe? I don't think locals do lol. 4. I don't think so. I've been high on Surtin since he came into the lineup and think he has a high ceiling. He was banged up last year, but talking to him again this year I think he looks like he's jumped levels. He's great from top, has big moves from neutral, but really improved on his neutral scrambling and leg attacks this year.

I think it counts as second semester eligibility wise. He’s “enrolled” but the second semester hasn’t started

Mizzou website says it will be shown on UFC Fight Pass.

It was obviously mostly luck but thanks

Ya. I’m him. I’m in your head too.

I think Jimmy Bt could be Pyles

Flo’s business practices are a textbook example of why monopolies are (and should be) illegal. The face if Flowrestling content was a cross country runner. Nothing against cross country, but he’s clearly a product manager, not a sports enthusiast. With the exception of bader, who I assume is legacy upper management, every single dude who put wrestling content and enthusiasm at the fore of their efforts has left. A long long time ago, it used to be possible to interact with the people from Flo. Then, someone decided it was a bad idea to provide people a platform to get called out on for poor delivery of promised services, so Flo removed any level of community building or community interaction. I’m looking forward to real competitors throwing their bats in the ring, bc Flo’s entire business is trying to monopolize broadcast rights for niche sports, and then sitting on them and under-delivering on what was promised while charging full price. It’s the sports broadcasting rights version of what walmart does in small towns.

"I'm on a whiskey diet. I've lost three days already." Red Alert These All-Americans are frequently funny and have a strong reputation. The Comedian score is a sorted descending order of members by rank as calculated ( received Haha reactions / posts ) x ( reputation / posts). Most Haha reactions received

they fixed it, good job flo

fair enough

What should the goals and criteria be for recognizing comedians? Based on Posts: How often are you funny? comedianScore = rcvdHaha / posts M1: 93.0% = 40 / 43 M2: 17.2% = 660 / 3834 M3: 4.0% = 52 / 1300 Based on Reputation: Are you known as funny? comedianScore = rcvdHaha / reputation M1: 36.7% = 40 / 109 M2: 24.9% = 660 / 2650 M3: 27.6% = 52 / 188 Based on Overall Engagement Do people engage because you are funny? comedianScore =rcvdHaha / sumReceived M1: 36.4% = 40 / 110 M2: 24.5% = 660 / 2694 M3: 26.0% = 52 / 200 Emphasizes the relative importance of "Haha" reactions Are you frequently funny, known as funny, and engaged because you are funny? comedianScore = (rcvdHaha/posts) * (rcvdHaha/reputation) * (rcvdHaha/sumReceived) M1: 12.4% = ( 40 / 43 ) * ( 40 / 109 ) * ( 40 / 110 ) M2: 1.1% = ( 660 / 3834 ) * ( 660 / 2650 ) * ( 660 / 2694 ) M3: 0.3% = ( 52 / 1300 ) * ( 52 / 188 ) * ( 52 / 200 ) *Balanced on Posts, Reputation, and Overall Engagement Are you frequently funny, with a strong reputation, and strong engagement? comedianScore = (rcvdHaha/posts) * (reputation/posts) * (sumReceived/posts) M1: 603% = ( 40 / 43 ) * ( 109 / 43 ) * ( 110 / 43 ) M2: 8.4% = ( 40 / 3834 ) * ( 2650 / 3834 ) * ( 2694 / 3834 ) M1: 0.9% = ( 52 / 1300 ) * ( 188 / 1300 ) * ( 200 / 1300 ) *I like this one with the 'strong engagement' criteria as unnecessary.
