It seems a good strategy for him to cut down to 197. Perry could eat all of the food in the house and starve Carol down to weight.

You act as though Israel goes in targeting civilians rather than Hamas. That is the problem. Israel does not go in targeting civilians. They go in targeting Hamas. If civilians are killed it is because Hamas uses them as a shield. It is fully Hamas' responsibility that civilians are killed. Israel has a right to kill Hamas. They do not have the right to target civilians. If civilians are killed while targeting Hamas then that is on Hamas. I have said this numerous times as have others. But you want us to say it is ok for Israel to target civilians which is patently not what they do. That is what Hamas does. So you are still a shill for Hamas but try to deflect that by saying you are happy hostages were released. They were not released. They were rescued by brute force. You are one conflicted uncle there. mspart

All the people doing mandates, subsidies, the climateers, and, everything getting 'lectrified think that the stupid drivers don't know what's good for them. It is apparent in their mandates and subsidies. If it was such a great thing, there would be no need for mandates or subsidies. It would just happen organically. The fact that you have to be somewhat rich to afford these contraptions furthers the divide between the know it alls and the stupid drivers who don't know what's good for them. mspart

It's a quote I live by: "Life is one big fight that you always lose but you can get a few punches in on the way down"

I always thought of this as an example of when taunting goes right. My wife is the quiet type who does not like to draw attention. I am...well, let's just say opposites attract. At my first job we had a monthly poker game for small stakes. When I told my wife that when I got up in the game the rest of the table was going to hear about it, she thought that was a bad idea because I might lose. I thought it was a good idea to get my licks in when I was winning, also because I might lose. Kyle Todrank is my people. He knew he was going to go down in flames, so when he scored a fluke takedown, he had to let everyone know about it.

First the Women's National Soccer team trashes all of the good will casual fans of the sport of soccer had lavished on the team by turning against America. Now the Women's National Basketball team is finding a way to trash all of the good will of casual fans of women's basketball. Bitches be crazy.

Todrank (who at best was below average for DI) knew he was going to get blasted, but he was wrestling up from 149, lasted longer than expected, and scored legitimate points against Nolf. It was stupid to taunt him, but he still had a better night than he expected. He fights MMA now. He said this about that match during an interview: “My whole wrestling career, I was a s***head,” Todrank laughed. “I talked s*** during matches, I did little antics here and there; I did this my whole career. It was [Nolf’s] senior night, so I had come to the decision that I wasn’t going to do my antics or talk mess. At a point, he shoved me and I kind of shoved him back, then the way I wrestle, I try to circle and create angles. He got frustrated trying to chase me down, so he double foot jumped at me and I heard a whole section of the audience laugh at me. When I heard them laugh at me I was like, ‘All right, f*** it, I’m turning it on now.’”

Just like this

Pro-Palestine supporters aren't necessarily stupid. Just very seriously misguided. They truly believe they are on the right side of what is happening - but haven't spent the time to dig deep enough to understand the complexity of what they're getting involved in. They suffer from oversimplifying something that isn't simple. No different the the pro-free college people, or anti-vax people, or defund the Police people, or the pro-Trump-even-as-a-felon people. Some simply take the easy route to follow rather than to think critically themselves. They don't need to understand it or have valid reasoning either way. If the majority of what they are hearing is one thing, that's the one they lazily pick. What is going on in Gaza is bad, but not nearly as bad as what is happening right now in the U.S. due to lazy thinking.

I wonder what percent of takedowns in NCAA wrestling are scored by the guy initiating the shot vs. the counter/reattack scores? Are we at 70/30, 60/40?

Huh? Yaz’s tank is amazing. He melts just about everyone. Keep in mind he’s also coming back from shoulder surgery so likely isn’t at full fitness. He only looks second class when he wrestles Taylor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Terrell Barraclough has transferred back home to UVU which makes sense since he's a Utah native. However, given that he's probably a AA threat this year I'm surprised no bigger programs tried to land him as a 157 or 165 pounder.

That’s how I know I’m right. Carry on KIDDO

He doesn’t know what that means.

I agree with Portnoy on this.

You're projecting.

Found it! 5:53-ish.

This is the Non Wrestling Topics but we still should be able to ban basketball just because its intermatwrestle.com. Where is Ban?

Keep em coming. What you do is much appreciated!

Uncle Joe should get five for each of his homes maybe ten for the rose garden.

i am bewildered by how any coach actually lets her play. she just throws the ball up. from anywhere. I know she wouldn't play for the team on hoosiers. that said. Im not saying anything about the olympics... not worried about that. but the wnba needs to get a handle on its players. most of those cheap shots would have caused suspensions/ explusions in the nfl.. maybe even nba... i have seen many against other players since hearing about clark being targeted. no wonder no one wants to watch

ok, i agree. i lied the first time.

Surely not our own adorable @PortaJohn?

Nope. When Hamas releases the hostages and surrenders unconditionally or has the common decency to die then the problem with Hamas should end. Unconditional surrender or death should be the only options for Hamas. Anything else just extends the problem. Even Hamas' surrender may not solve the problem if non-hamas Palestinians do not let go of the goal to exterminate all the Jews. But at least the Hamas problem should end.

put down the islamic koolaid

UB on the board for not feeling bad about taking hostages and not allowing a rescue. good job man.

Those guys in CA are sketchy. mspart

And that ladies and gentleman is what I have been saying all along. Hamas takes no responsibility for the safety of Gazans as is plain to see by their actions. Safety of Gazans are Israel's responsibility? What? NOT. mspart

I'm on my way back from a trip where I had my phone but not my tablet with my data. Will update and send either tonight or tomorrow

It is at garage sale prices.

It looks like Lobo 1996, Taurasi 2004, Parker 2008, Stewart 2016 were all rookies. So there is a lot of precedent. In the clip that you showed, they said it's about basketball, but it is also about marketing the sport. Which at all levels women's basketball is in dire need of.

Few guys in Mineo's group are saying DT has a zero tolerance policy. Not sure if that's true.

Just some thoughts (as a ref/coach/fan/parent) and not directed specifically at WKN, but wrestling fans as a whole: There has always been reaction time, just not from rear standing. It disappeared for about a decade from rear standing, but existed everywhere else. Kind of crazy, that we went from 2023 complaining about zero reaction time (rear standing) to complaining about too much reaction time in 2024. I am not sure anything changed, other than the rear standing rule. However, when a ref blows a call, more people are going to see it than 20 years ago. Youtube, flo, Big 10, ESPN+, UFC Fight Pass, etc. As an official, I always try to let positions play out and am very verbal about control. I'd rather be a little late on a takedown than early. Coaches don't always like it, but I am pretty up front with them. (and I did see some bad calls regarding reaction time this year, but refs are probably no worse than they ever have been)

As a Pokes fan I agree. OSU wrestling style in my mind is still based in the 90s and early 2000s - fast paced, tough, and lots of attacks. Spratley is a good current example of this. Notsomuch the "defense first" strategy. From DT's press conference it sounds like he wants to encourage this style of scoring - it's okay to give up a takedown as long as you score more than your opponent! Seems so basic but I agree that in Perry's time as OSU coach we've seen less emphasis on this style. Who knows about Carroll. Waited until the last day so it's obviously a loaded decision. Maybe its the coaches, maybe its the transfers, maybe its a perceived equity thing. Shouldn't be the weight issue though since he was going down before the coaching change.

Yaz IS known for his tank! (Except against Taylor.) Yaz has made a creer of absolutely melting guys. The Taylor matches are outliers.

So Aaron Brooks is going to try to outscore you ?? No he is going to try to shut you down Taylor could outscore and outpace yaz. Brooks won't win a bullfight against the real bull. Marinellis is a poor man's bull. Yaz is the unstoppable bull

This is the worst analysis of Aaron Brooks I’ve seen in a long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wasn't strongly opposed to or in favor of the 3 pt change, but the whole thing seemed a lot like the Spinal Tap "this one goes to 11" bit.

Brooks will definitely know what not to do...

Yazdani is great at a lot of things but I didn’t think he would win every single 50/50 position against a relatively high level American. I’m not convinced Brooks beats Yazdani (strong Yazdani lean until I see it) but I think Brooks scores on some of those positions and it’s a much closer match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But, but, but. GM is all in on EVs. CEO Mary Barra declared several years ago that GM would stop making engines. How is it possible that with all these mandates, subsidies, climateers cheering her on, and everything getting 'lectrified that they can delay EV motor output? Don't those stupid drivers know what's good for them?!?

Folks conveniently forgetting how Brooks was gifted his match against Valencia, I see.

He has committed to more schools than Kerkvliet now, right? Who needs a 197lber for four years?

Great get for the Beavs. 4 years left and fills a hole at 157.

Did you just call Shenanigans? I think I heard somebody call Shenanigans.
