Two Raney's deserve two threads I guess.

Why did something happen? As far as I'm aware, no significant wrestling news today.

No, we don't all try to go bareback with a prostitute on mother's day while the wife and kids are back at home, and get busted with our units flappin' in a dank hotel, all the while pretending to live a Christ-like existence. No. That's Kyle's thing.

DT is not going to Iowa

Hey, I made this! It's awesome that so many people are enjoying it, I had a lot of fun making it! I have a lot of ideas on how to add to it, any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

I'm not even against prostitution-- I think it should be legalized. And I fully understand couples have all different sorts of arrangements, ranging from solid monogamy to wild swinging. And I'm cool with that. But this is bizzare: You say, "but if he was a good husband..." What the heck? This guy does prostitutes, bareback (!!!!) and given the circumstances (the messages he sent and the manner in which it was set up), this was definitely not his first time. He's so clearly is NOT a good husband I can't believe your level of naivety to put that out. What woman on earth would say, "Oh he's a good husband, sure, he bangs whores without protection when he's away. But he says Jesus wants him to wrestle and win"

Probably why Taylor took a position against drinking

Taylor is where Taylor is and it's isn't changing. The only job I could see him leaving for is Penn state which wont open up any time soon I imagine.

If you are in Louisville looking for a beer, there is a wrestler owned brewery with a roof top patio Awry Brewing, ask for Tom if you go

Apparently the Raneys did the opposite of BB

@Jimmy Cinnabon is that you?!!

That ship has sailed.

Glass houses? Whoa. Are you suggesting the people who have a problem with this are secretly cheating on their wives and willing to pay to bring diseases back home over quick get offs with hookers? Pretty interesting you talk about glass houses and keyboard warriors in the same post.

It could turn into a higher scoring match if BoBass gets impatient with BeauBar's style and starts firing off a bunch of shots and forcing action. At least that's what I'm hoping. 99.9% chance that BB wins this one, though. Book it.

Aaron Brooks was the best thing to happen for the Oklahoma State wrestling program

I’d say the bigger joke is the guy citing bible verses and then paying to cheat on his wife, but maybe that’s just me.

You get a lot right here, but I have to take issue with the idea that people are just calling out his faith. They aren’t. They are calling out the hypocrisy of what he says and preaches to others and how what he does behind closed doors goes completely against it. If he wasn’t so outspoken about lifestyle, morality, the right path, then I’d be with you.

Is this actually how Iowa fans analyze your own coaching and team performance? Like you’re committing a sacred sin by saying something against two of the program’s most storied wrestlers as coaches. Guys, come on. You are leaving so much on the table every year. You are being out wrestled and out-innovated by concepts developed DURING THE BRANDS ERA! This is ‘t international black magic, it’s home grown innovation fed by generous pockets, but not pockets any deeper than what you have in Iowa City. C’mon, you’re a part of the sport and we need Iowa strong and innovative long term. Yes it’s unfair, but Iowa is still the flagbearer for so much of the grass roots part of the sport. You can’t just say “yeah but Cael’s impossible to beat” and leave it there. Please be more objectively critical, don’t settle for second, demand the best and nothing less from your program. I feel like I’m trying to encourage a younger sibling to stay engaged in a game after they’ve started crying and gone and sat on the side. Iowa homers, hard core fans, we need you guys to give many f*cks about this.

Jeez man, mother's day weekend. It was mother's day weekend.

But when Jonathan Karl @jonkarl of ABC says something it’s fact.

It’s obvious you are so confused you can’t carry on a conversation with anyone but yourself.

He pulled Forrest from Pennsylvania. You really think he can’t get Midwest kids? Come on…. There's 3 big programs in Collegiate Wrestling with a major history. He’s at one of them. Iowa would be a lateral at best. PSU, being Alma mater for him, will always be special. But Carl probably has a lifetime contract.

Good question ... did Jimmy eat our good buddy peanut ... sneaky way to start a new thread.

they don't have enough money but mainly I don't think you understand wrestling history

The bigger question is why would DT leave? Money does talk, but I’m betting the Pokes can match anything.

You're really trying to push this narrative... Sergio is gonna be great in Stillwater

Yeah it might be a 3-1 blowout or a 4-0 nail biter, we'd have to watch obviously. Not predicting a tech.

Thanks Mr. Vega.

Singlet-pull effect > butterfly effect

Barlett wins, but I think the score will be closer than the actual match, given that Barlett's not exactly an offensive juggernaut.

Yeah Vak, you're going to have to explain to us how you've never been to Carver. It lost your team two recruits

Everyone thought that Bassett was going to give Kolodzik a match and Kolodzik destroyed him. That was last year, but styles make matches. Bartlett is a better version of Kolodzik with a focus on counter-wrestling. I think the style favors Barlett heavily.

tHaT dOEsn'T maKE iT RiGhT

Well, I personally hope he gets back wrestling ASAP. Although I posted stuff above that's a bit hard, I stand by that because, if you step up to a position of moral leadership (and he certainly did), you're going to be held accountable to that. He had no business there, lecturing to young wrestlers about living a Christian life when he clearly couldn't do it himself. I think a lot of people are growing tired of the "gospel of prosperity", tired people like Ted Haggard, Dennis Hastert, and others telling us how to live while engaging in behavior that's totally anathema to their words. So yeah, Snyder is getting rather tough criticism because of this. I don't wish him ill will, but I don't wish ill will to anybody for that matter.

federal spending and education is a question mark

Seems like a horrendous matchup for Bassett unless he elects to just hand fight and not shoot which I doubt happens.

As Jimmy said, how is it a strawman when YOU freakin said it!!

Jake Tapper is scum

He's in Florida. He'll be fine. "Oh noooo... the Raney brothers aren't coming here" *sips on gigantic glass of margarita* "I'll just have to" *takes another LARGE swig while watching a solid 11/10... the kind with the gigantic dump truck walk by on the beach in a bakini thong while looking over his sunglasses* "Suffer not in sil..." *grabs neck as he realizes that he gave himself wiplash* "lence" *pushes sunglasses back up to the bridge of his nose as he adjusts his tanning mirrors* "Boom. Roasted."

You’ve spoken those exact words many times on here. You wokesters are something.

Ah, yeah.

Remember when GreatWhiteNorth/RockLobster chastised us for making fun of Biden’s studder that he’s had his whole career?

Disagree , that's up to them to see what's best for them and I believe he has children. Not so easy. Yes that's a possibility. But if he was a good husband and this was is issue and ship can rightened. I'm OK trying work out. Not first guy cheat on wife. Dont be nieve.

How about we all sin. We make confession and Christ gives us second chance. Hopefully he works it out with his wife.

"you talking bout him being a two time champ for Ohio state?" Mic drop! He never get any of his facts right lmao

Vastly superior job. You have got to be joking. No one in Washington has done a vastly Superior Job when it comes to cutting spending and the balancing the budget. 37 trillion dollars in debt. The interest on the debt is 1 trillion dollars a year and growing. During the time i read your post and wrote my post the debt went up 7 million dollars.

What if Person A was the same as Person B, just better at hiding it and going to great lengths to condone such hypocritical behavior?

Gtfo. First part is he was found criminally innocent More strawman "threatened to beat someone up" Lololololol as a reason. Literally said by tons of guys such as storroci all the time as an act and obvious fake Trashed women's wrestling for stating a factual opinion ? Clearly you have no bias "Not being liked " is the crime Downey committed Better to to be fake guy who deceives to the public but is liked The amount of virtue signaling right now is INSANE Never seen so many fn paragraphs of God this god that verse this verse that everyone has closets ....don't judge others I sin too Let's just call it what it is. People like Kyle Snyder and don't think he's a douchebag. People hate Downey and think he's a douchebag. No one had any damn paragraphs about God and judging others for downey. Everyone looks like a big hypocrite just like Snyder right now. They backward rationalize and draw the moral line based on exactly such.
