I'd say Hamiti to Okie St for most blatant, but Nagao was obvious. The most insulting part to our intelligence was people online pretending it was Iowa offering hundreds of thousands and PSU basically offering a gift card to TJ Maxx.

Yes he was clearly trying to bait me/rib me.

Lets hope not.

The Welsh thing is by far the most poaching thing of those three.

The only person who has mentioned Iowa is you , not me. Look, this is a classic Lance Armstrong situation. Everybody else is cheating, talking to kids, trying to poach, EXCEPT Penn State. They're dominating the other dirty poachers while also not actually even paying that much money or poaching at all, just like great American hero Lance Amrstrong dominated the dirties sport in the world clean as a whistle. ...because he's potentially an upgrade. He's a national finalist. Honestly the lengths people will go to to just give them the benefit of the doubt...

Those two things are not mutually exclusive. We're just...pretending they are because it's PSU.

And...why?

Think about how you're framing that (and how it's been portrayed throughout) and how you're framing this.

It is bananas to me the leeway PSU gets in any situation, lol.

It's like theynfelt Taylor make a slight move and then just grabbed Ono, flipped James, and poached Welch (over one of their big guns). Insane.

EDIT: Wait, is that our guy wrestlingnerd?

...I mean, the Russians had a PRETTY famous systematic doping program for their international athletes.

Did that kid stop producing videos?

A plus. No notes.

It's on his own Twitter page, so I'd say THAT is as official as it's going to get.

I think it didn't end particularly great the first time, lol, from either side's perspective. Ferrari's likely a part of that.

From what I've heard, neither side is particularly interested in that.

Shut up, virgin.

This sucks.

TFW maybe you're not really helping.

Well, that sent me down that same rabbit hole and geezus.

My guess is that Arnold ends up at 174 and starting. I'm happy for PK and glad he got as high as he did, but look at who he beat to get there. His win over Devos is PROBABLY his best win of his career, and at this point, I think Iowa should try to trend younger with an ascending curve.

I agree that we're now under a free market system for college wrestling. The problem for that is going to end up being, it doesn't make any money. So we'll likely end up as a club sport. We exist off the largesse and charity of donors and football (and to a lesser extent, basketball). That's a problem for tomorrow, though, and not technically Cael's (or Brands' or any individual coach's) responsibility.
