Rathjen to UNI

If it had anything to do with due process one of the left wingers would have answered my question(s) about due process under blue presidents. It isn’t about due process. It’s about emotions…. TDS….. and orange man bad.

When I was in HS, I got to go to the NCAAs At Carver. The year was 1995, it was my sophomore year. Anyway, I look back and what an experience! I got to see: - the first 4 Hodge Trophy winners in one tournament. Was this the only time ever that an NCAAs would have 4 Hodge winners (to be) in it? No idea, but to have the first 4 was special. Jaworsky that same year (1st one they did 1995) Les Gutches would win the 2nd ever Hodge in 1996. He was at these 1995 NCAAs and quite dominant winning his first NCAA title. He was the Hodge runner up to Jaworsky in 1995 Kerry McCoy would win the 3rd ever Hodge in 1997.. He was at these NCAAs entering as the returning NCAA champ but would get upset in the semis and take 3rd.. He would then red shirt and comms back to win his second title and a Hodge as a senior. MarK Ironside would win the 4th ever Hodge in 1998. He was at these NCAAs as a freshman and would finish 6th at these NCAAs I was at and go on to finish 3-1-1 the next 3 years. Other things I got to see which I will always remember at these NCAAs • 2x NCAA champion at the time, Lincoln McIlravy getting upset in the final, at Carver mind you, to Steve Marianetti (Illinois) 13-10 snapping his 57 match win streak and ultimately preventing him from becoming a 4xer as he would red shirt the following year and then win his 3rd title a year later. Lincoln had beaten Marianetti both times he faced him previous to this (1993 NCAA semis and two weeks prior to this loss at the 1995 Big ten finals 6-4). This was shocking at the time. Marianetti took him down 5x in that final. • Kerry McCoy having his 88 match win streak snapped in the semifinals with a 4-3 loss to Northern Iowa’s Justin Greenlee. Shocking! McCoy came back to take 3rd. McCoy was the MOW of big tens two weeks prior, he was the defending NCAA champ having gone 48-0 the year prior, and was on an 88 match win streak. Had he been able to win that match, he would have likely ended his career with a 132 match win streak as that semi loss was his only loss from his soph to senior year (131-1). He actually wrestled 190 as a freshman and only went 19-17. • Just seeing Dan Gable coach (he only would go on to coach two more seasons): This and seeing him at Carver, it was incredible. The newspapers were filled with wrestling and talking front page all over. • A guy from my high school, Dan Payne, wrestled heavy weight for Clarion and we got to see him get on the podium which was special. she entered college as a 177 pounder and ballooned up to a 285. • Got to go down into the wrestling room and in there practicing were Tom and Terry with each other along with Bruce Baumgartner and many others . Ventured a little off topic here but just wanted to share my experience.

It's clear that Penn State has the general philosophy to compete as little as possible whether that be freestyle or folkstyle. Aaron Brooks is slated to be out an entire year as he bulks up, no competition during this time. Very odd. One has to wonder, are these freestyle comps, national duals, etc interfering with something else, perhaps cycles of known performance enhancers? Less competition = less opportunities for testing. Hard to argue that it doesn't make you wonder.

Out the entire year for bulk up? seems weird. any other reasons why someone would sit out a full year? hidden injury? Anything else?

With the Rathjen news, and also learning that Thomsen has another year, here's what I think might be UNI's best chance. 125: Anderson 133: Land 141: Farber 149: Rathjen 157: Downey - I know he's said he'd really like to move up, but I'm ignoring that for now as that throws off everything else 165: Thomsen 174: Simma 184: Gunderson/Walrath 197: Gunderson/Walrath 285: Voelker If Gunderson and Walrath are as good as I've heard people say, UNI could be looking at qualifying all 10 again. Quite a few team points lost in Keck, but UNI should still be pretty solid top to bottom.

Patiently waiting for clowns like this to try.

He looks like he ate Nick Feldman and took his face,

we have had 257 portal entries this year compared to 247 for all of last year. we will have plenty more

Odds of getting invited for the teams in the lottery: Purdue 63.42% Mizzou 60.20% Lehigh 56.67% Penn 52.80% Little Rock 48.57% ASU 43.96% Stanford 43.96% WVU 43.96% Navy 27.68% Wyoming 21.40% SDSU 14.69% Indiana 7.56% Maryland 7.56% ORST 7.56%

A pharmacologist and a wrestling coach here. The muscle loss (sarcopenia) associated with this drug would likely negate any advantage for an athlete competing at a high level. One of the unanswered questions is what happens once you come off these drugs? Some of the companies that make them are trying to get a “childhood obesity” or similar label in the thoughts of people needing to be on them for life. As an aside. Has anyone seen anyone use these drugs and lose weight and look healthy afterwards? The folks I’ve seen on them all have an unhealthy “sucked down” appearance.

After the Stanford dual, Ethan said that 149 was a 1 year deal. However, if you are offered a bag of money to stay at 149, you may make that sacrifice and stay down. The reason he went down was because we had two good 157 in CJ Hamblin and Stiles and we were struggling at 149 with injuries. Stiles was actually losing to Hamblin in the Orange/Black wrestle-off and had to come back and get the win in OT. So everyone decided with the team lineup and the landscape of 149, that Stiles should go down. 149 was very tough cut for him to make. His first time down he was up on Gabe Willochell by 6 or 7 points and gassed hard and lost. After that he seemed to manage it ok.

another possibility is Bouzkais at 125. i'm told he's going to test those waters.

Embarrassing for PSU, to be honest.

Great video. I promise it isn’t political. It’s what’s wrong with modern journalism. so many gems in here. No! I went to summer school 3 out of four years lol

The man was assassinated. There will be no inquiries. Just gone.

Some bigger conspiracy. Like Cael, a guy who doesn't drink Coffee is running some big roid ring for his Wrestlers and scheduling competition around it? Seems...a bit silly. -------------------- Coffee, tea & booze are forbidden with the Mormon Word of Wisdom., the "revelation" that says doing so is advisable so you will "run and not be weary and walk and not faint". It also says "eat meat sparingly, only in times of cold and famine" - yet every Mormon I know scarfs the burgers & steaks every chance they get. Selective beliefs.

Also avoiding the testing?

This change comes largely after the evolution of the far ankle scramble. That was a position in particular that showed the power and importance of leverage and length. Wrestling is also 10x more technical these days and scrambles waaay longer than back when palmer was wrestling. The sport changed, and bodies have evolved with the evolution. The #1 wrestler injury used to be shoulders, by far. Now it is knees by a country mile.

Allison Schwab posted on Instagram that PK is sticking around Cedar Falls, at least for now, when someone speculated that he might join Ben Askren's AWA RTC.

The discussion of jacked wrestlers who look 3 weight classes heavier starts and stops with Ryan Deakin. A friend who attended some Stanford duals told me that Deakin is visually bigger than Pat Brucki, who was a jacked 197 lb. multi-AA. It defies logic how Deakin was a 157 lb. wrestler. He would've been big and jacked at 174. Never seen anything like him.

Gunderson has also exhibited some good wins in freestyle if I remember correctly. Looking forward to the next chapter at UNI. They haven't let any obstacles get in their way so far.

Yep. Gunderson wrestled McEnelly last year and lost 11-9. Walrath lost to Jersey Robb and Brock Fettig this year at open tournaments and didn't really beat anyone worth mentioning, but also had a close loss to McEnelly last year. With that, and assuming that Keck has made them better, I'm hoping they turn out to be hammers like UNI has had the last 6-7 years at 184, and one of them can go up

Every single one. Up from 38%. —> recently deported illegal alien the crime I committed was not that serious

UNI has been nails at 184 for the better part of a decade. Whoever it is, they're stepping into some big shoes

A pick up for the Ohio State I see.

Maybe I’m arguing the wrong point but it’s the guys who aren’t short for the weight class and still jacked that baffle me. Palmer in OP is one thing. The guy on that team that had hollow bones or something was Bo Jordan.

@WrestlingRasta @fishbane The Supreme Court dropped the decision at 1:00 am Saturday. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-orders-trump-administration-not-deport-venezuelans-now-rcna201949

I already gave you the facts, so I'm not really sure what else to tell you. The two schools have similar admissions standards, with Illinois ranked a couple rungs above OSU. This whole "mid-level" and "safety school" talk is just baseless conjecture on your part. Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio State are not all in the same boat.

The end....

This post is either saying nothing or something really dumb.

I found that Smith only had 3 falls in 30 matches in 1994. He had 13 his junior year, 1992. I couldn't find the number of falls Fried had in 1994, but he had a bonus rate of 83.9% bonus rate in 1994 which means bonus points in 26 of 31 matches. Smith's bonus rate was lower, 80%. I found a full breakout of their career records. Fried had more falls and a higher career fall percentage. Assuming a constant rate of falls over all seasons Fried would have 6 his senior season, though I haven't found any example of a match he won by fall that year. Fried 128-6, 26 Falls, 1 FFT, 18TF, 53MD., Win %95.52, Bonus %73.1 Smith 122-4-2, 21 Falls, 2 FFTs, 27TF, 35MD, Win %95.31, Bonus %66.4

Obviously just 9 family members heading home for Christmas.

Is Hamas upset you quit sending them funding?

Drew Henson seems to be doing OK

It’s Red’s financy fiancé that’s got the bucks.

Tis. But I do remember. Psu people saying they don’t compete early because of ott/wtt and then a ton of them not showing up. Sounds familiar/similar here. I’m not looking it up. I called out the psu fans then. They didn’t care then. They won’t care now. Tis how they roll. as I said earlier. Psu fans are bad for the sport.

Have you found any tweets or articles ?

It's been over 24 hours... and I'm shocked about no replies? D3

Working on creating a Jimmy - Minnie Bun action figure. Have all the pieces just need @MedicineMan to put it all together in a package.

May I use this?

as opposed to weight cutting?

Seems to me that Ozempic would make the actual fueling of intense and prolonged training nearly impossible.

It isn't mentioned but the Willie figurine is actually life sized.

57: Lilledahl over Deshazer (spencer sits) 61: Blaze over Forrest (Vito sits_ 65: Mendez over Bartlett 70: Yianni over Duke 74: Carr over Mitchell (Dake sits but I think he does 79) 79: Dake over KOT (if healthy) Hamiti if not or Carter if he sucks down or chance if he sucks down 86: Zahid over Carter/Trent/Chance (brooks sits but he does 92) 92: Brooks idk if he is healthy over Kollin Moore (did he retire?) 125: Wyatt over Mason I did this off the top of my head so sorry if any of these are glaringly bad based off this it seems like there could be a lot of turnover.
