Good luck on that last one. This obviously isn't good, but there's a lot of wildly overblown doomsaying going on as well. The program is worse than they were yesterday, but they're still fine and a probable trophy team. They are not, however, at an acceptable level to me as a fan where they look primed to challenge for team titles, and that's a problem.

Well...Minnow and Chittum himself. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/college/iowa-state/wrestling/2023/05/09/cody-chittum-junior-national-champ-flips-from-iowa-to-iowa-state-wrestling-ncaa-wrestling-recruiting/70199851007/

And now we've reached the ridiculous portion of this discussion, lol.

For anybody doubting the "Ferrari Effect." https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/college/iowa-state/wrestling/2023/05/09/cody-chittum-junior-national-champ-flips-from-iowa-to-iowa-state-wrestling-ncaa-wrestling-recruiting/70199851007/

If Iowa could get Burroughs to come into the program, that would be the biggest possible win.

I'm looking forward to the flip by some from "Chittum is overrated, he's not that great" to "what a recruit!" that we're going to be seeing all across the wrestling internet. Personally, I thought he was going to be good at Minnesota, was ecstatic that he came to Iowa, and now am bummed that I think he'll be great for Iowa State.

If it wasn't clear from my post, I agree.

I'm not necessarily in on putting them to pasture, but there needs to be a coaching staff shakeup IMO. More diversity of thought/style on the staff, guys with different wrestling styles to expose the athletes to different ideas on how to wrestle. I've thought that for a long time that Iowa is too intent on the "Iowa Man" being the program. They're always going to be buoyed somewhat by the program name, but consistently threatening for team titles seems far away at the moment. If they're not willing to consider any changes, though....

Well, apparently about 83% of HR. EDIT: There were people on here claiming that I was bullshitting about not wanting Anthony or AJ. Not that I could have specifically seen it being THIS bad THIS fast, but the upside was extremely, extremely limited.

Is Cody Chittum the favorite next year at 157?
VakAttack replied to Jimmy Cinnabon's topic in College Wrestling
Ahh, the last Jimmy thread on chittum at least, since he can't use him to troll Iowa. Who will he target now? Best guess? Ayala. -
I take no joy in being extremely correct on the Ferrari stuff.

Reporting is a very strong word for.whats happening right now.

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8.xls Here. His number of firearm is not from any year from 2015 until 2023. That would be the first statistic he "cites." Even these numbers are undercounts because states are not reporting full data. This is obvious because in 2019 Florida claims 1 murder on the data, and I can confirm that, just in my medium sized county for that year in Florida, there were 42 reported homicides.
-
HIS ASSERTIONS ARE PURPORTED STATISTICS THAT HE DOESN'T GIVE ANY CITATION TO, SO THEY CAN'T BE DISPROVEN BECAUSE WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THEY'RE REAL STATISTICS. Geez man, this is mind-numbingly stupid, even for you. "Disprove this information, but I won't tell you where or when it's from!" If you're JUST looking for other statistics to show that what he claims in the video is not the actual statistics in other scenarios, that has already been provided, multiple times. You're asking me to specifically disprove his statistics without any source to look at the statistics other than your beloved YouTube video, which also doesn't cite where the statistics are coming from.
-
He can win just fine with me. I'll be rooting for him hard at his next competition. I don't have to be willfully blind to be a fan.
-
HE DOESN'T GIVE HIS SOURCES, MAN WHAT ARE YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING? If you're asking for the data that shows he's wrong, that has already been provided to you, your just choosing to ignore it and claiming it's been discredited because...you say so. See if you can find another video where a shill makes your argument for you because you can't actually formulate it yourself.
-
That's fine. Don't show up. I wouldn't have criticized him. Once you're there, though...finish out at least on the championship side. And if you're going to pull out of the even, you can't have your father being the one giving statements. If for some reason you can't physically give a statement, release a written statement.
-
Yes. The NRA is bad. And, in this case, biased. But glad to see your abandoning ship on prior arguments. I've made the point several times. You are saying that I'm not making an argument of fact when I am providing you several sets of data. Then you cite a video (over and over and over and over again) to make your argument for you, where he just cites data, but doesn't given a single source for it, whereas I'm proving you sources that show you (and he) are wrong. Seriously, every accusation is a confession.
-
Again. He says a bunch of stuff without actually citing any sources (which I know is right up your alley) and he's a person Pais by the NRA. You keep saying he's not now, but he still has the NRA stuff on his personal website, and also, the video was published 3 years ago. And people, myself including me, have posted ACTUAL DATA WITH SOURCES and your response is just the same unsourced YouTube video because you.. like what it says and confirms your pre-existing beliefs, and you just claim that all other data is misleading and_or discredited, again without sources. Amazing. And still people die.
-
The YouTube video by an NRA funded moron that does the same thing you do: just make claims without backing them up. In the description of the video it puts a link that says "Gun Violence by the Numbers" and when you click on it.... https://shop.mrcolionnoir.com/collections/keep-america-tactical-merchandise?utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=Video -TheTruthAboutGunViolence&utm_campaign=Video -&utm_content=TheTruthAboutGunViolence Honestly. You couldn't write a better script for embarrassing yourself.
-
LOL you just keep posting videos, man. Especially from people who literally are on the NRA's payroll, like this guy. I'm providing you with actual data. Here's some more: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/26/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/ And, then there's the pure, true blue fact that: this doesn't happen anywhere else.
