  1. Haines matches up well against KOT in Freestyle. Without the exposure threat KOT will be able to get to his scrambles in Folk. A rematch would look a lot different. I wouldn't put money on it. Think it's a true toss-up
  2. I'd still put him as the slight favorite. I never trust backside results in a freestyle tournament but Levi is right there with him if he wrestles this year. Interesting to see Hamiti go this year with Taylor as his coach. It's wild that Hamiti and O'Toole have yet to face off in college unless I'm forgetting a match. Rocco Welsh will be in the mix but at this point it's hard to gauge his ceiling. Is old man Brands still talking about going 174? He'll be a tough out for anyone at NCAA's. Doubt Kennedy or Arnold will have much for Keegan.
  3. The Peter Thiel controversy is just noise from the left when Nate Silver doesn't present data advantageous to Kamala. No different than the conspiracies Trump supporters claim when numbers aren't advantageous to him. Nate's out there taking fire from both sides. That's the greatest tell tale sign he's doing a wonderful job.
  4. Not cynical at all. My reasoning is based on data. Trump lost his debates to Clinton. He also lost to Biden. Won one election. Lost the other. People know who they are going to vote for at the start of the election cycle.
  5. No Ukraine is not close to winning. They probably have a less than 10% chance of winning unless NATO intervened and then their chances would skyrocket to 100%. The Russian military is dogshit. Yes, Trump is correct in saying this will only continue with more deaths with no end in sight. But, the nuclear threat is exaggerated
  6. Despite the rhetoric, Putin is more measured than how he's portrayed in the US media. Ukraine just set off drone attacks in Moscow. They invaded the Kursk region. Has one nuclear warhead been launched? This is despite all the nuclear saber rattling we've heard from the kremlin over the last few years.
  7. It was one of his better moments. As much as I'd like to see Ukraine win it's almost a foregone conclusion that this will end in a deal. Ukraine doesn't have the manpower to sustain this for the long haul and Putin is willing to kill every last Russian soldier to save face. Not totally buying the nuclear threat. There are too many oligarchs that want to go yachting during the summer in the Mediterranean
  8. I appreciate you not bringing up the polling! Very sensitive to this topic as a former poli sci graduate. I will have to disagree with you on her being a quality candidate. I don't believe she's good at all. She struggled to get in running for the AG position and she got booted out of the DNC primary faster than the 32 seed at NCAA's. I personally believe Trump's winning this and I blame the DNC or Biden for not stepping aside earlier and having a primary. They had some decent contenders on the bench
  9. They don't mean anything. The race has always been the same race since the start of the election season. An unpopular incumbency vs an unpopular former president. Trump has an electoral advantage and the two missing ingredients are A) how fresh is abortion on the minds of suburban women in swing states and b) how well is Trump actually over performing in the polls which is a real thing. And please no one bring up 2022 polling. National elections don't poll like midterms
  10. It's comical how voters who already have their minds made up lie to themselves that debates somehow sway the "other" voters
  11. She was She didn't Impossible Facts The debate won't change anything. It's relevance is as fake as conventions
  12. Grew up playing travel soccer until I focused solely on football come fall. Disagree on the culture problem. I would equate it more to what we have in wrestling with states like PA and Ohio where wrestlers go to their club team and are getting trained by former All Americans. Same thing with Soccer overseas. The kids are getting taught to play by former players with a lot of knowledge. This isn't happening in US youth soccer
  13. Thought it was plausible. Didn't look like he gave up too much size at OTT's stepping on to the mat with Hidlay and Amine did it and I would consider him to have a smaller frame than Starr
  14. Nelson won the internet yesterday.
  15. Toxoplasmosis (tok-so-plaz-MOE-sis) is an infection with a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. People often get the infection from eating undercooked meat. You can also get it from contact with cat turd. The parasite can pass to a baby during pregnancy.
  16. First video I've ever seen where Ben looks like he doesn't have Dad Bod fat.
  17. I don't remember Coach Gable being the cool, calm, and collected type
  18. I've got -Mint Mobile -VRBO -Big Dreams Begin With Fafsa -Foreverspin "Made in Canada" -Tickets for Korn (got to stretch for that concert. Haven't moshed it up 20 years)
  19. Do you know if Nolf is going with Danaher or the B Team? Danaher coaching Nolf would be interesting. Also, couldn't keep up with the drama. Is Danaher still exclusively with Ryan after the split in Puerto Rico?
  20. Add me to the Hamiti over Brands team. Winners, solid breakdown
  21. Bob, why would you go to Mykonos? It's an overpriced sand box. Everyone knows the Islands in the Ionian is where to go
  22. They've wrestled twice and Parco didnt have the strength or technique to break through SVN's defense. I don't care if SVN has the flu and is rusty. Parco can't score on him. Van Ness has elite defense. Operating from the collar tie and high crotches aren't exclusive to Barr and Facundo. Bar attacks and re-attacks. Facundo sits in his stance and likes to watch paint dry.
