What is the matter with you. They are working for the U.S. government, within the Office of Management and Budget.

Angel Rivera gets to officiate big matches, and the Big10 announcers generally say he is a good ref. That said, I do not like it when he is officiating. It seems like there is always some controvery with his calls, and I think he injects himself too much into the matches. There seem to always be issues with restarts. This is my personal opinion, which may are may not be correct. I wonder what others think.

I hate the fact that he coaches while reffing. Let the kids wrestle as they want and penalize and award points when warranted!

Nah pretty sure I made one before that.

He is screwed in Iowa. They cant develop talent. Seems kids go there for fanfare and NIL, not to win championships. Bassett is smart. He has to see like everyone else the trends. You go to Iowa because of what they can give you, not what your championship dream is.

Senator John Kennedy on DOGE’s USAid findings so far.

Gabe Arnold is overrated. He pushes and pulls but has no shot.

In real time i thought it was 3 and 2 for Andrews, but when they showed the replay, I saw what Angel saw and could understand the change. There were some weird ass stall calls throughout though. And some weird decisions not to call stalling. Just no consistency.

Munoz not taking another year.... going to battle the rest of the season.

He was clean-shaven when the match started.

What, you think THAT is a story about moaning on the mat? I'm going on a rant. This was way back when I was 11. I was wrestling in the finals of an open tournament against one my teammates. My teammate had beaten me 4-2 in a ranking match a couple weeks before and I was now a scrub at 97 pounds. At the tournament I was seeded 4th and my teammate (Pat) was seeded 2nd, and the #1 seed was a dude who was unbeaten and who pinned my teammate the week before. I hammered my first couple opponents and was in the semifinals against the unbeaten kid. I pinned him in the 2nd period after getting a good lead, which shocked everybody. I was a pretty good wrestler but I had a few losses on my record. Anyway, I wrestled Pat in the finals. About halfway through the first period I got in deep on a double leg, picked him up completely and not so gently deposited him on the mat. Not a slam, but not a gentle deposit. I took him down straight to his back and flattened his shoulder blades to the mat. He started bawling, not just crying but loudly bawling, and the referee immediately stopped the match. Everybody and their mother came out onto the mat to make sure Pat was okay. They gently brushed the tears from his cheeks, and the referee restarted the match. I didn't get a takedown. I didn't even get a 3 point nearfall. I got screwed out of at least 5 points. After they'd refreshed Pat and let him get his composure the ref RESTARTED the match from that point in the first period 0-0 in the neutral position. It was as if the 10 seconds where I took Pat to his back no longer existed. Pat "won" the rest of the match, 4-3. I think that was the first time I got screwed by refs, but it certainly wasn't the last.

here's the thing. the bureaucrats have already circumvented congress and create' law' on their own thru the policies you knowing so much, it's surprising you haven't realized this

You are babbling more than normal tonight.

He just turned 26. Going through a college season as you're turning 27 would be an absolute grind on the body.

I find the Angel Rivera complaints to be unwarranted. He does a fine job.

Seems easy to me, put the best wrestler on the mat, and I think Kennedy is the best the Hawkeyes have at that weight. Wouldn't Nelson get hammered from a lack of matches in seeding at NCAAs, also? Whoever wins the ranking match should be the guy on the mat.

I think you just described my entire life in one sentence.

So I guess you do work for the govt. seem to embrace that bureaucracy pretty hard. It is going to be a bumpy ride for y’all in the short term

Really? Again with pointing out Joe Williams wasn't in that bracket? AGAIN...the POINT was that it used to be a tournament that Sr level Wrestlers would participate in and Williams one anecdotal example. It has to do with the level of competition of the Midlands back in the 80s/90s vs today. That's it. "Often," also doesn't literally mean EVERY SINGLE time...it means, "in many instances." The fact that there was a 7th place finisher and 2 NCAA Finalists is...in and of itself fairly compelling. But nowhere did I say, "the Midlands were tougher the year and at the weight Cary Kolat took 3rd as a Soph in HS than the NCAA Tournaments."

I think you may have just summoned SHP

He's just livin', bro. L I V I N. Tbf to MM he just wants to have fun out there and put up points, and probably never has to care about RT. But you think he would've learned after last year's NCAAs.

You seem to embrace government bureaucracy and know enough about it. For some reason i feel like you’re a gov employee. Is this why your so butt hurt they’re stopping the maddening spending?

Introducing the puffy singlet...from the makers of The Bro.

Tell that to these guys lol https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/01/10/politics/chinese-hackers-breach-committee-on-foreign-investment-in-the-us

Kennedy made more attempts than Smith. Facts

Do you think you’re smarter than all those dimocrat lawyers, staffers, bureaucrats, politicians, and journalists in Washington? You need to get away from Rachel and The View.

He's got Askren's funk and his brain power

Fourth post... The only disappointment regarding Phillips is a selfish one, in that we didn't get to see him in college.

Oh? What is their pay grade? Do they have government email addresses? Are they also being paid by anyone else? Have they filed appropriate conflict of interest forms? Have those been approved by a non-partisan approval authority? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BB is the anti-MM. Maybe he could be a little more like LL. JK.

Is it just me, or did Mesenbrink have another mental lapse last night? He looked confused toward the end of the match, like he thought he'd win by TF with RT tacked on. He had enough time to cut Mantanona one last time and secure another TD, but didn't. I mean, it ultimately didn't matter but MM might need to work on his match awareness. Same thing happened at Nationals last year when he thought he had RT on Carr.

thousands of unelected people... have had access to info they had no need to have. for decades. the irs had people lookin at $600 exchanges... now that we are stopping a spending problem... it's a problem give me a break

But unlike Musk’s kids, they have an actual need to know, which is a requirement under the law to access any government computer system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Haines went up because they were both ohysically 157lbers last year and he was actually bigger, so he decided two weights was nothing. Haines frame is much better suited to wrestle 174 than MM.

When Bassett gets to Iowa you are gonna have a Ferrari on the team is only the 3rd most attention seeking person on the roster!

Um, Matthew Mcconaughey says something about like living and um that's really the main focus because life itself is a verb Um, it's not really a noun because what already had happened and what will happen um, is already set in stone

Nothing like an obese draft dodger who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire to inspire kids to join the military, eh? Or, are you referring to the SECDEF, a stolen valor, drunk tabless bitch, who was passed over for command in the ***ducking** National Guard? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In other words, Trump is a Buffoon and it wouldn't help him anyway, but Harris is not a buffoon and it would help her. Plus she is a woman and needs all the advantages she can get. That is what is being said by Trip. One standard for all would be welcome. mspart

He also calls Christian Pyles, "Pile" all the time which is pretty funny, and CP even laughs about it.

The Starocci tweet is very weird given that he had previously bragged about getting the largest NIL. But then self awareness has never been his strong point. Folkstyle wrestling on the other hand...

That's Chael's schtick. It's hilarious. He does it to multiple people. Probably gets a ton of engagement from it from people commenting. Did it to Crookham's name on Bo Nickal's podcast. Butchered Lilledahl's name as well.

They were crappy in the 1960's and are still that now. Had one of our wrestlers with his short pulled to his ankles while trying an escape - he was iffy before and never came back after it happened in a gym full of kids & parents watching. The singlet may not be great but it works.

My son is 6 and in his second year of wrestling and he insists on wearing a singlet to every practice, the only kid who does

Yes. Honestly the singlet was never the reason interested kids would avoid wrestling.

Geezus, folks, he was mocking the incoherent post from Greenwave using a somewhat obscure meme.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

cool topic. i'll take some liberties here... 125: Travis Lee - 4x EIWA Champ, 2x NCAA Champ, ended with most wins in Ivy History and first ever Ivy 4x AA beats out TNick 1x Champ, 3x EIWA Champ, 4x AA 133: Vito Arujau - 4-3-1-1 and his last two were thrilling. beats out Nahshon who was 3-2-5-1 141: Yianni D - 4x won his first two at 141 149: Kyle Dake - 4xer. His title at 149 came over Molinari in the finals, who would be the champ the next year. 157: Jordan Leen - 2008 NCAA Champ beat fellow Champ Gregor Gillespie in quarters Meyer Shapiro pending. 165: Mack Lewnes - 3x AA. Finalist. 4x EIWA Champ 174: Brian Realbuto - 3x AA. NCAA Runner Up* at 157. Was 5th as SR at 174. Beats out Chris Foca, who was 3rd as a SO and has one more shot. 184: Gabe Dean - 4x AA, 2x Champ, win over Ed Ruth beats out Steve Bozak - 3x AA, 1x Champ over Quentin Wright 197 - Cam Simaz - 4x AA, 1x Champ, 4x EIWA Champ 285 - Never Had an AA. I guess i'd go with Lewis Fernandes.
