As I recall, ISU didn't have a spot for Gable, so no betrayal. Same with Brands - got passed over for the HC spot for Zalesky. Cael was a different story - pushed out Bobby Douglas, left for better recruiting grounds and cash, and took his ISU recruits with him. That's a true dagger in the back. Cael is better than everyone else at everything and that includes betrayal.

There is a feature for this...

At least one thing they did was not allow a horrific law to go into place that would perpetuate the current border crisis and codify it into law. They stopped other ill conceived bills from moving forward. They passed an immigration bill that would actually reduce illegal immigration. They named new buildings. They brought to light the corruptness of the FBI. Impeached Mayorkis. There's lots of stuff. mspart

Well if we assume (and it may be true) that China was dumping products at 30% under world market price (under our cost) then a 30% tariff might make it fair trade thus allowing US producers to compete and therfore not costing tax payers.

Unless the House objects, which is in R hands. This is why split government is the way to go. Bad ideas don't get through. And this was a BAD idea. Codify what has been going on at the border is no solution. mspart

I thought he/she was the only one that thinks he/she is funny. He/she offers nothing of substance. 100% Troll.

Just watch reruns of Kamala explaining her policies.

Aitmukhan hasn't competed below 97kg since worlds last year. Before this thread moved here, other Iranians were commenting on how huge Aitmukhan looked at 97kg at U20s. Seems he took a while to mature physically. That could be why he jumped levels so fast last year--and could mean we won't see him at 92kg again.

Obviously these are subject to change but some other stats I found interesting about team's starting lineups. Oldest teams in terms of experience (I gave 4 years for seniors, 3 for jrs., 2 for so., 1 for fr.) 1. Brown (37 years) - 7 srs, 3 jrs. 2. LIU (35 years) - 7 sr, 2 jr., 1 fr. 2. Sacred Heart (35 years) - 5 sr, 5 jr 4. Illinois (34 years) - 8 sr., 2 fr. 4. Rutgers (34 years) - 4 sr., 6 jr. 4. Central Michigan (4 sr., 6 jr.) Youngest teams 1. Franklin & Marshall (18 years) - 4 fr., 4 so, 2 jr. 2. SIU Edwardsville (20 years) - 2 fr., 6 so., 2 jr. 3. Presbyterian (21 years) - 2 fr., 6 so., 1 sr. 4. Morgan State (22 years) - 1 fr., 7 so., 1 jr., 1 sr. Most projected starting freshman 1. Franklin & Marshall - 4 2. American, Buffalo, Davidson, Rider, Stanford, Wisconsin - all have 3 Most Projected starting seniors 8 - Illinois 7 - Brown, LIU 6 - CSU Bakersfield, Northern Iowa, Oklahoma State No projected starting seniors Franklin & Marshall, Northern Illinois, SIU Edwardsville Starters by Classes (all teams) 253 seniors, 222 juniors, 221 sophomores, 94 freshman Most projected NCAA qualifiers (top 33 in wrestlestat) 10 - Northern Iowa, NC State, Minnesota, Ohio State 9 - Penn State, Michigan, VIrginia Tech, Illinois, West Virginia, Oklahoma State, Nebraska Projected NCAA qualifiers by class 143 seniors, 101 juniors, 72 sophomores, 14 freshman Most projected All-Americans (top 8 in wrestlestat) 7 - Penn State 6 - Iowa, NC State 5 - Nebraska 4 - Michigan, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Cornell Projected All-Americans by class 41 seniors, 21 juniors, 15 sophomores, 2 freshman (Gabe Arnold, Beau Mantanona)

Well, to take it at what you said, someone has to be given the power to make the decision. Who should that be and who gets to decide on that person? It goes round and round. mspart

I mean... he called him out and conveniently waited until the final Stanza of a multi-page post on social media to mention that the weight needed to be 190lbs. I call that cowardice.

I'll take Keckeisen over Starocci.

After the joke, reassure me we’re not inching closer to war with Russia and its allies?

125- Figueroa 133- Crookham 141- Alirez 149- Henson 157- Kasak 165- MM 174- Haines 184- Cstar 197- Ferrari 285- Kerk

This can be a catch-all thread for random thoughts. I heard a funny quote today that made me LOL: "The Western World is run by the mediocre children of accomplished people"

125: Lilledahl if he doesn't RS. If he does, the weight is wide open. Why not Ramos? I don't think Richie Figs runs the gauntlet again. 133: Bouzakis. I think he has a chip on his shoulder and ready to break thru. Training with Mendez daily helps make that happen. 141: Mendez: beat Alirez at BTS. Heck of a match. Does it again. 149: Van Ness: comes back better than ever over Henson. 157: Shapiro. 165: Mesenbrink. 174: O'Toole over Haines. Gets revenge, just like he had done to Carr previously. 184: Starocci. Makes history over Keck. Must watch match. 197: Cardenas. Ferrari is everyone's pick but I think it's been too much time off and at this level, results can be in the margins. 285: kerkvliet Way too early. Some alternative picks. I reserve and revel in the right to be wrong.

Yes. Be safe. All political joking aside

His acting chops have nowhere to go but up!! mspart

thank you for quoting me, warts and all!! I may be wrong, but I remember the economy being in much better shape from 2017-2020 than 2021 thru 2024. mspart

Similar/same thing, steal our IP allows you to produce say 30% under cost cause no $s spent on R&D.

By allies you mean China and Iran, correct? Biden says “don’t” could there be a better deterrent?

if he kept his speed and was even relatively strong enough to hand fight at 65kg he would be an absolute nightmare.

Which would help domestic mfg. and employment.

but sum times them their is what use talk'n bout

Who is the idiot who posted this?!? I apologize to my brethren (and sistren) on this board. My grammar, punctuation, and self-proofreading have eroded. I used reign instead of rein recently. I mistype and/as; the/then/them/that, etc. You deserve better attention to detail and I intend to raise my game.

Lilledahl is going to double up and pull the Dake. 2024-25 - 125 2025-26 - 141 2026-27 - 157 2027-28 - 174 He is going to be massive.

passing imperfect bills is bad business. once a law, the policy will NEVER go away. and to say this bill is imperfect is like saying jeff dahmer just had different tastes

I think it is not unique, but it is an outlier. For example, a booster recently agreed to pay what is believed to be north of $1mm for the top softball pitcher to transfer to Texas Tech (https://www.on3.com/nil/news/texas-tech-red-raiders-softball-nil-collective-to-pay-nijaree-canady-upwards-of-1-million/) from 2x defending champs, Stanford. But that is a huge outlier for softball. And I think $500k is an outlier for wrestling. BTW, I say agreed above because I saw this story today. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/41438172/matthew-sluka-nil-dispute-unlv-hinges-verbal-offer What is notable is that it is a QB and the verbal offer was only $100k. So far all he has gotten is $3k. So this idea that there are contracts and athletes can sue is not always true.

Eh!! mspart

I sometimes thought GreatWhiteNorth was part of this collection.

Don't look now. Red Viking is back now that we found it's alter ego possibly.

If anyone can get themselves out of suffocating cement, spread their wings and fly it's certainly you

This isn't rocket science. NONE of us have time to investigate the legitimacy of every conspiracy theory and claim out there. Best thing to do is find a reputable news source that is widely recognized as not being on the fringe, like MSNBC or Fox News. Personally, I go with Reuters and BBC for most of my news. A good sign that they are reputable, without actually looking it up? The stories are a lot more boring, in general, than the distortions that the fringe media provides. Real news typically isn't very exciting or scary. If you're one of those people getting riled up by the news every day, you're probably listening to Fox, MSNBC, or something even worse.

Best solution would be for STW to moderate him/herself. Barring that, he/she adds nothing to this board. Comments are attacks, not discussion. I would rather he/she take personal responsibility and moderate their content here. mspart

You may be correct about they.

I have been dreaming about a Ghassempour/DT match for years now. In Iran, after DT dominated Yazdani, there was lots of debate about sending Ghassempour instead of Yazdani. I have a hard time predicting the result, but tend towards predicting an upset by Ghassempour against DT. Let's hope the match actually happens. there are a few issues Will the Albanians issue visas to the Iranians this time? Will Sad be allowed by WTT to wrestle Will DT get time off from his job to wrestle If all of the above happens, I hope the brackets work out that we see all three wrestle each other. That would mean all three would have to be on one side of the bracket

so you miss important info and still believe the garbage the GOVT is telling you about crime data

Looks like PSU will struggle to make the podium

Doesn't your logic training give you any better answers than

Yes this is why the bill did not pass. Would anyone vote FOR a bill like that? It codifies what is already taking place at the border. And general consensus is what is taking place at the border is wrong and needs to be fixed. mspart

WR - Who governs this? Is it a lie when the Federal Government puts it out there? Is it a lie when a think tank puts it out there? Is it a lie when an academic puts it out there? Is it a lie when an individual puts it out there? Who is going to be the one to say this is acceptable and this over here is not acceptable? And this is the problem with constructing such a mechanism. Who is it that makes this determination and what are his/her priorities? Would you have a known liar be that person? Would you have someone known to be a straight shooter be that person? And how do we make sure that type of person is the person with the power to say what is verboten and what is good? Let's think about this with real world things we have lived through. 1) Covid - Those that said having covid was just as good as getting the shot were censored. The fact is that their position is true. So who had the power to censor that truth and call it mis or disinformation? 2) 51 "intelligence" officers wrote a letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop was Russia disinformation. This was held as true by most in the media (excepting the NY Post of course) and all naysayers were censored. The fact is that these 51 people were wrong and knew they were wrong. They spread misinformation that was useful to who? It must have been useful to someone or it would have been called out. Those that called it out were censored. So who had the power to censor the truth and all those that spoke for the truth? You can see that these real world situations should give everyone pause when suggesting that misinformation can be regulated. Sure it can, but who defines what is misinformation and who decides to censor it? You have to be very careful when you pick this person or committee. mspart

Who decides? One man's truth and fact is dubbed by the rich and powerful (i.e. government) as misinformation. Just read nursery rhymes and Aesop's fables to learn about this phenomenon. The child who had the temerity to notice the emperor has no clothes in The Emperor's New Clothes story would certainly have been labelled a purveyor of misinformation if the Emperor and his ministers had the power to silence the child. "Reigning in misinformation" is as terrifying to a free man as "no one should have the means of resisting government authority (i.e. no 2nd amendment)". I am against reigning in misinformation because no amount of misinformation can ever be as dangerous and having the power to reign in misinformation.

Starocci, like ferrari, is stupid.

Betrayals, really? In that case, I betray my fridge everyday by going to the gym

I was going to say J Robinson from Iowa to Minnesota.

Iowa State staff made up of Hawkeyew. But who cares, right? If you want to coach, then your potential coaching career will have passed by if you wait to take over where you graduated.

Great to see this thread starting up on this board!
