  1. I don’t ever recall seeing this level of a support for any one wrestler locally. Sebass and his family will never forget this well deserved moment.

  3. Kerk predictably did nothing. Pat Downey actually had some pretty good outings. I really like the way they arrange criteria, with creating action as the only criteria for being awarded the round. It really makes this style much more forward moving wrestle-jitsu, takes all the boring edges out of jiu jitsu, 300% improvement over the way things have been done. I would not be surprised to see this ruleset really catching on.

  4. I did not realize they scheduled this for the exact same weekend as ADCC’s (this weekend). Having watched the entire CJI first day on youtube for free, the product is WAY more interesting than scored no-gi. In an ideal world, they influence the UFC to start releasing scores round by round this way. Makes for a WAY more entertaining match progression. That plus the pit style is a tremendous idea for managing the boundaries. This has been very successful so far.

  5. Write that book. Do it! From what I can tell it was around the 10th chance. Maybe more. Just bits gleaned from media days, duals, and other pieces of being an over invested Cowboy fan. Consistent “if JW can get his head on straight” stuff for many years.

  16. Opinion When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls? It’s hard to exaggerate how bad Kamala Harris’s price-gouging proposal is. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/15/kamala-harris-price-gouging-groceries/

  18. Seems to have a weird similarity here: Allow me to go hypothetically conspiratorial for a moment - wrestling was axed in part to keep the NCAA from investigating the department. Is swimming in the same situation? They get shut down to keep more eyes and hands prying into Notre Dame’s entire athletics program? I’m not alleging anything … but … what if?

  22. Strength and conditioning are obviously important in this sport. But we're so far behind in technique and the international styles rely on technique. Rules are set up to enhance technical advantages. Years ago (60s/70s?) there were 3 3 minute periods. When the Americans started to surge they cut it to 2 periods (and 1 5 for a short while). And even when our conditioning started to make a difference the Soviets seemed like they could score while tired. I don't want this to sound like American wrestlers and coaches don't know the techniques but our reliance on competing rather than training means we might know the moves but can't use them when they count.

  23. The attempted non-insurrection credit lands firmly on Pelosi. You could also include Irving the Sergeant at Arms. You could include the mayor and some top military officers. All of them denied the proper amount of security because of bad optics. They didn't want the appearance of soldiers in adequate numbers to secure the capital because of optics. The request was denied days in advance. Anyone with a small amount of intelligence could have foreseen the need for more security 'IN ADVANCE' of the protests. Calling in extra security the day of protests was a day late and a dollar short. It's unconscionable that the groups denied the request for security.

  25. I love when OSU fans talk out their cheeks. You have no idea what you are talking about, I could write a book on stuff I know that has gone on at OSU in the past 5 years. Cover ups, lawyers to make it go away crap. Ferrari alone could be a chapter, and it all was brushed under the rug. You ought to set this one out talking about other schools. DT will for sure have his work cut out. I would bet 2-3 guys get caught or kicked off in the next year.

  27. I was there as a company rep to a local business. I lived on the west side, Makakilo hill which is in the second city of Kapolei. This is on the way to Waianae from Honolulu. It was great, I loved it there. Unfortunately the assignment ended and we moved back to the Seattle area where we started from. I think the sun was bad for us there. I got a pre cancerous mole on my back that had to be removed and my wife similar on her nose that has been removed. So it was probably not the best place for us fair skinned folks, but I sure loved it there. mspart

  30. Some achievements from memory Appointed conservative judges. My 401K. MAGA brought good vibes for now and the future. Tax cuts led to a strong economy with full-time jobs, higher pay, and companies investing in the U.S. "2-for-1" deregulation rule. "America First" approach reduced military involvement overseas, with direct meetings with leaders like Putin and Jong-un to avoid new wars. Negotiated from a position of strength, keeping peace and holding allies accountable. Implemented border security and immigration enforcement measures. More details are available at Trump White House Accomplishments. Some of the problems he addressed with EOs.. Biden reversed immediately. Immigration EOs for example.

  31. Trump sparked my patriotism and pride in being American. His focus on "America First," renegotiating trade deals, and revitalizing American manufacturing truly resonated with me. Recently, I watched a video about building new cities, which filled me with wonder and excitement for the future. This feeling contrasts sharply with the dread and anxiety I feel when discussing victimization, foreign subsidies, and expanding government control. Trump’s presidency made notable impacts on economic policy, foreign policy, immigration, and the judiciary. He did manage to build new sections of the border wall, though not the full extent initially promised due to Congressional constraints—despite Congress funding border security in Ukraine. It often seems like Congress acts contrary to public wishes. Obama was effective at deporting illegal immigrants, but both administrations had room for improvement. Trump faced worsening conditions in Central America that led to increased illegal immigration despite strict measures. His focus was on preventing illegal entry through policies like "Remain in Mexico." If Trump wins a second term, similar to Obama, we will see reduced immigration and increased deportations compared to his first term. More deportations than ever before.

  32. If you figure between Wyoming, Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma there are approximately 100 wrestlers and only one has been dismissed from their team due to excessive alcohol consumption (this year), then his number is actually pretty spot on. I used those three for no reason at all.

  34. The guy was not new at the olympics, he's been doing this for a while, worlds included. And he is good at is job, not everyone in the world speaks in an American dialect. He's not the decision maker, he is the one explaining the decision made, which is probably why he was getting a little frustrated with Dake acting like a child to him.

  35. This is wishful thinking. There will be turnover, but DT is the one able to demand quality, OSU is going to be right at the top for recruiting. PSU has shown it’s better to not put up with behavior. The “this is a privilege” approach engenders the gratitude that keeps PSU at the top. If you could go back, Cael would probably take a different tack with the Alton’s. They didn’t exactly work out as recruits. Having a reputation for hitting the fizzy wheat juice and potato water has a way of limiting progress.

  38. Not a fan of video review in any sport, but I thought the official giving a detail explanation was a big improvement. The reviews went fairly quickly and the announcement and his emphasis gave it a little bit more drama.

  39. I'd argue that the 2020 (aka 2021) men's freestyle Olympic team was our best in modern memory. Six weights, five medals: Gold (Taylor, Gable), Silver (Snyder), Bronze (Gilman, Dake). That's a medal in over 83% the weights, and that's with Russia completing (under the Olympic banner) along with all the former Soviet republics. That's a far higher percentage than the '72 team (83% vs 60%), and even a higher percentage of gold medals (33% vs 30%), and that's with only a single Soviet bloc competitor. The '92 team had the same percentages as the '72 team, so the same comments apply. And remember we didn't even qualify 65kg in '20, so of the actual competitors, we were 5-for-5 in medals.

  41. Japan isn’t all of a sudden good at wrestling. They’ve been a top-4 team for more than this past Olympic cycle. 2024- 1st medals/1st gold 2023- 2nd medals/1st gold 2022- 2nd in medals/tied 1st gold 2021- 4th in medals/tied 2nd gold They’ve been ahead or tied with the US, Russia, Iran multiple times. Looking at their finalists this year: Higuchi was a a former world champ/olympic silver Kiyooka beat a former world/olympic champ to make the team Takayuki is a world bronze Fumita is an Olympic silver/2x world champ Kusaka is a world bronze Fujinami is a multiple world champ Sakurai is a world champ Motoki is a world silver Kagami is a world champ All of those results are during this cycle. Only one of those moves up more than 1 spot and that’s Kusaka going from bronze to gold. In men’s wrestling they are alway really good from 74 and down. With the Olympics and less weights it makes them more likely to have a better than normal result. If you’d take off your USA glasses for a minute you’d see they have the better team this year. Hell, the best wrestler in the world (Susaki) coming in didn’t even make the finals! It could’ve been even better.
