  1. I don't remember Coach Gable being the cool, calm, and collected type
  2. 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)
  3. 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?
  4. Add me to the Hamiti over Brands team. Winners, solid breakdown
  5. Bob, why would you go to Mykonos? It's an overpriced sand box. Everyone knows the Islands in the Ionian is where to go
  6. ZIhuatanejo
  7. 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.
  8. Josh Barr wrestles nothing like Facundo and I don't know how you'd pick Parco when he's wrestled SVN twice and has shown no ability to beat him. Even if SVN has ring rust
  9. Ionel, you remind me of Brooks from Shawshank. Just trying to find reasons to get yourself locked up again
  10. Willie any chance you'll start referring to them as the Transhawks
  11. No, not scheduled for this season but Sanderson & Brands have made happen in the past
  12. With another cycle of Olympic Wrestling in the books followed by the inevitable traditional quad annual should we switch to freestyle brigade choir. I just wanted to remind everyone Folkstyle wrestlers are superior to Freestyle wrestlers
  13. The push out rule I go back and forth on only because I'd bet top wrestlers will start to release the bottom wrestler near the edge of the mat to game the system for a free point. Maybe they'd have to reset in the center
  14. That's obviously an intelligent response but sometimes someone deserves to be called an idiot.
  15. But what if someone on this board did advocate drinking bleach to cure cancer? I call him an idiot and get moved to the zoo?
  16. No option for it was a coup on Biden but not unconstitutional?
  17. None of us are truly objective. It's unattainable. The best we can do is acknowledge it and accept that our aligned ideology is neither absolute truth. I myself have grown from the young libertarian who acknowledges the need for stop signs.
  18. Why are you trying to get me thrown into the Zoo cage with you again?
  19. It's because many of us are purposely not feeding his troll posts. I broke the rule by posting but only to help others like yourself to find the wisdom and just put his threads on mute
  20. -from 1st page: "O/U to medal at 6 weights 3.5" -kept it real. set a good over/under on the medal count. But then I got caught up in the excitement and finished with this... """*** I believe this might be a team that might even be better than our 2020 Oly team and it's by no means crazy to think we medal at every weight and bring back a lot of Gold """
  21. Folk (US) wrestling morphed into what it is today centuries ago. I believe it was first officially wrestled in college early 1900's in the Ivy league schools. @cowcards, @Jason Bryant, & @gimpeltf are the guys on this forum that might know the actual histroy
  22. Most countries also pay incentives to win Gold and a lot of the wrestling countries (including transfer countries w/Russian wrestlers) pay out. This is what I found based on 2021 figures compared to 2024 US Gold medalist receive only $37.5k. There is an article on Forbes on this subject but it's behind a paywall. Maybe someone on this forum has access to it Iran - $295k Azerbizian - $235k Georgia - $318k Bulgaria $99k Hungary $150k Greece $100k
  23. In my perfect world we would have a system where we'd keep college wrestling as is but incentivize high school wrestlers that are freestyle studs (example Meyer Shapiro) to forego College Wrestling and train at a RTC on a college campus so they can still obtain a college degree. The four to five years of folkstyle competition does hinder our development in freestyle at a very important age. Look at 97kg. Snyder lost to two studs. One a 22 year old and the other a 21 year old
