With another cycle of Olympic Wrestling in the books followed by the inevitable traditional quad annual should we switch to freestyle brigade choir. I just wanted to remind everyone Folkstyle wrestlers are superior to Freestyle wrestlers

Good for him!

No, not scheduled for this season but Sanderson & Brands have made happen in the past

So you’re saying you have evidence, but it’s low T and won’t stand up to scrutiny?

... yes, you will. I know, I noticed it after the "time limit"....I couldn't correct it.

Is that official, or just opinion? I'll go out on a limb and say opinion. I'll back that up. Not one person has been charged with insurrection. That is a word the federal courts have not used to describe what happened. That is a word the media and Ds use to describe what happened. Unfortunately for them, DOJ has not prosecuted anyone for insurrection. The distinction is not irrelevant. When you try to say it was an insurrection, you are not accurate. When you try to insinuate that it was officially considered an insurrection, you are spreading falsehoods with intent to mislead and mischaracterize the event. There is no third option. You have only emotion and opinion on your side when you insinuate it was an insurrection. These are not based on the facts of the matter. mspart

Did you get in full meltdown mode over this ha

they really are communists

That’s why I’m saying they are abandoning their brand.

Sorry to get you interested, I don't have the first clue, but neither does @Jimmy Cinnabon.

can you explain what you mean by this?

No, he didn't

that culture is ubiquitous. I remind you PSU had a 3 time NCAA champ forfeit out of the same tournament.

Jordan Williams to Little Rock

did you believe schiff or schumer?

I DO think that at one time or another, we (Most Of Us...) fell thru that crack in that part of the pavement. (Yes indeed!) D3

1. Ohio State

This basically says it all. A former true freshman national champion transfers to a school where nine wrestlers went 0-2 at conference and the other went 1-2.

You’re almost convincing, but that’s irrelevant when any six year old can see through the nonsense you’re offering.

he usually has a pick he goes to both near and far leg but I think between that kids size and him dropping down so often he just could not get it going. Definitely would have liked to see him put a few more attempts together rather than going one at a time. Hes kinda made a name for himself by chasing guys down late just did not work here.

To be fair, Melvin needs a 'goto' TD...

she has been in office for 3.5 years.. wondering why these aren't already in action

CSU - Colorado State ? Can you name their head coach without googling?

Which ones?

This u17 team could feature a lot of future Illinois boys I think with the Raneys and Munaretto.

Not too shabby

Let’s find something more concrete then … I cite it because it’s the only thing I can find and I’ve been at the Worlds every year since ‘07. I first noticed it in 2009 when the Greco brackets were just so much bigger causing those days to just go on forever. Like another poster said above though, I’m not going to spend the time on it to prove a forum argument true or false - I do that too much as it is. Problem is our general ignorance on how other countries actually operate their wrestling associations really prevent us from being able to speak on it informatively or with numbers that can validate a position. I’d love for us to have stats on everything …

Also if they passed such there would suddenly be a lot fewer people with $100M in assets or at least a lot fewer in the US.

This. I’ve been thinking of this for a few days. you hear Ds all day saying make the rich pay their fair share. In 2021 the 1% paid 46% of all federal taxes. What % is enough? They never cite real income taxes when saying this. Biden lies every time the says they pay 8.2% (I think…. I’m not looking it up…. CNN of all news outlets called him on it during the dnc). That 8.2% is a d think tank estimate based on unrealized gains on stocks…. Not income tax my issue isn’t “what is enough”. It’s where does the wasteful government stop. If they make the “rich” pay x% more. That x will be squandered just like in the past and they will be coming for the next “rich” in line. Just like they are farking up social security and everything else. I worked for a startup years ago and had to pay taxes on unrealized gains. It is a thing. Look it up. It’s called alternative minimum tax. It was originally passed (maybe?) in the 1950s to make the ultra rich pay…. Now jamokes like me get hit with it. We fight over the wrong things. The government is wasteful. They lose $. They lie and spend money appropriated for this…. On that. They’re telling a narrative….. buying votes. the best line is around 1:46. Although the whole vid is great. It’s Dave Chappell. The joke is fantastic…. And true to the mess that we exist in today. Dave is not a Trump supporter. Here is an Illinois billionaire. He is also a D governor who was in the mix to be the vp nominee….. Who bragged he is a “real billionaire” at the dnc. He removed toilets in his mansion to avoid taxes. Don’t hear much about that at the dnc when asking the billionaires to pay. Oprah was at the dnc lol on stage with ms Obama after she told you that sob story of how her parents wouldn’t be happy with people taking more than they need. # rules for thee but not for mee https://www.illinoispolicy.org/federal-investigators-digging-deeper-into-pritzkers-331k-property-tax-break/

This is not funny in any way shape or form. JFK and RFK were assassinated, and one was 1/2 inch away from death. Maybe the forum moderator could take this down. Murdering The Kennedys is not a joke.

Counterpoint. Al Capone was only ever convicted of carrying a concealed weapon, contempt, and tax evasion. It is called legal realism.

Babylon Bee is always good for a laugh. mspart

Parole?

i just find it interesting that the whack jobs were right and now the GOVT admits it

I feel like people confuse downey and ferrari. Downey has common criminal tendencies that make surviving a season very difficult, Ferrari is more of a ticking time bomb type. One way to put it is that Downey is more likely to go to jail and ferrari is more likely to go prison....the prison guy has a better chance of putting a season together!

The guys have three wrestling for bronze and Mocco wrestling for Gold. J. Bachman PUR via PA is also wrestling for Gold.

Sorry, Ukraine passed us at the last weight. We ended up 5th with our 6 entries.

My plan is to prepay a ridiculous amount of money on tickets, accommodations, etc...and then watch my son qualify for a killer swim meet that same weekend that forces me to cancel everything.

So I actually wasn't paying close enough attention. India ran away with the Women's team title here. They're about to pick up their 5th gold and 8th total medal. Does this mean something?? Japan is clearly 2nd. We end up 4th with only 6 ladies participating. Our 6 end up with a gold, a bronze, and a 5th. The other 3 were all tough-luck losers to the bronze medalist in the gold medalist bracket-half (meaning they may have been the 3rd best overall in their weights, but they got bad draws). Taina Fernandez at 61kg/134lb got a tech and 3 falls for our gold medal. Killer.

The Japanese teched all of her opponents other than Morgan in 28 to 45 seconds. Morgan scoring on her and lasting 1:52 made her the clear second best in the weight class. At the U17 level there could occasionally be some extreme dominance, but this is another level. No one at this tournament came close to that level of dominance. And at age 15? Yikes. Japan keeps rolling.

Buchanan has already been confirmed.

Do you think comparing women’s wrestling to men’s is a fair comparison?

You do realize its a fairly new sport and strength/technique issues are completely different for women.

US should flex our diplomatic muscles and make the rest of the world bend to us. No reason we can't make everyone else start wrestling folkstyle and cut off international aid if they don't.

but why are we agreeing to worlds entrees as an appropriate metric for popularity?

Why would anyone need to give up their NCAA title for an Olympic gold? What possible benefit could there be to giving up the title? Pico is the last guy mentioned and he fell down the ladder the further he got away from his decision to pass up wrestling in college. Our young guys are better than ever, and there is zero to suggest that folkstyle wrestling is holding them back.

no flex, I just wanted you to know, who he is now, is who OSU recruited then. The only difference now, he is out in the open.
