No, I am literally saying he is a legend. Look him up.

It's there. You just have to squint.

If your definition of a coach lacking loyalty is if a wrestler transfers out, then name a coach who is loyal. They are all disloyal by that definition. Is Brands disloyal? He brought in three one year guys and saw three wrestlers depart as a result. How about Taylor? He brought in a bunch of transfers over previous starters. What about Manning? He brought in Davis over another wrestler. How about Ryan? He had the highest ranked recruiting classes two years and those guys took spots from wrestlers who were already there. What I am saying is your definition of loyalty is ludicrous.

Better Call Stall. I hate myself for not thinking of that.

Some very bad examples here. Barraclaugh was not cut from Penn State. He graduated from Penn State with a year of eligibility left, as I am sure you know. And Berge came back to Penn State from coaching to finish his eligibility after earlier retiring due to concussions. I have no idea who hugged who though. Beard left because he was no longer the starter. That happens in every sport at every school. Quit acting like that is some evidence that Cael Sanderson lacks loyalty. It is what they all sign up for. You cite AJ hugging the Brands brothers. They had a lot of turnover last season because guys were no longer starters. It happens everywhere. It happens all the time.

I am going to do something silly here, and quote the rules. To get a hardship waiver for an injury: The injury or illness occurs before the first contest or date of competition of the second half of the playing season. In wrestling the first date of competition of the second half is defined as the 10th competition date for the team. Ferrari was 10-0 with all of his 10 coming in dual meets, the last of which was January 23, this was the eleventh competition date for the team. The injury or illness occurs when the student-athlete has not participated in more than three contests or dates of competition or 30 percent of the maximum number of contests or dates of competition of the playing season. The maximum number for wrestling is defined as 17 and the 30% provision is defined as 6 in the rules. He is clearly over the 30% provision. All that said, we have seen the NCAA lose a lot of court cases on eligibility issues, so who knows. But as the rule is written, he does not qualify for a medical redshirt, and he is not particularly close to the cut offs.

I had no idea Gardner had wrestled in college. Fourth in 1993. Nice.

When he is over 50 he should get one every year.

He certainly thinks he has a chance. I am not so sure he does.

I think only Rocky Elam has a shot next year. Lucas Byrd was a blood round loser in 2023, barely preventing him from having a shot.

No 6 timers. Heaven help us.

With regard to scholarship limits, that was really put in there for football. So any school that is now going to give 85 (I think) football scholarships is not going to have money left over to increase wrestling scholarships. If anything, they may need to decrease them. The way to do it then, is for alumni to endow wrestling-specific scholarships, ala Notre Dame before the shenanigans. That I could see happening.

Excluding 2020 there are 7 five time AA's. Including 2020 there are 20:

That includes 2020.

Nor does the NSA, those famous dimwits.

Said no military expert, ever.

It is time we went old school. I have also seen calls for Bob Fehrs as a three time runner up to the same guy each time (by 7 total points). https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/3828 But there are also two other three time runners up in the no-freshmen era. Dick Wilson and Willard Duffy. Wilson lost his first title by a single point (3-3,5-4 when they scored periods separately). He lost his last two to one of the all-time greats, Gray Simons (some consider him the greatest ever). The first of those was a tie match that went to a ref's decision. https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/3756 Duffy lost to another all-timer in Rex Peery in the 1935 semi-finals. But they had true seconds that year, so he wrestled back and beat the other finalist. After taking second in 1936 when they used the Olympic black-mark style, he did not wrestle in 1937. In 1938 he lost by decision to a three-time champ in Joe McDaniel. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/indystar/name/willard-duffy-obituary?id=48636671

It puts me in mind of another vulnerability. In some organizations if you are high enough on the totem pole you can convince yourself that the rules do not apply to you. And if you have enough power, you can make it so.

He isn't just a fan. He is a legend.

I am not saying that at all. I am saying they used a protocol that was not approved for the use. I am saying they were reminded of that one month ago by the NSA. I am saying there are other protocols that are approved for use, because they are known to be more secure than the unapproved protocol. I am saying they are morons and liars. You can attempt to dismiss this as partisan, but that is a partisan objection. It does not matter the party of the moron. A moron is a moron. Hegseth was so far and away the least qualified person ever nominated to head the department of defense. This was known ahead of time. And now he is amply demonstrating that fact.

Precisely. And that is why Signal is not approved for this type of communication. And these people were reminded of that one month ago by the NSA. Yet...

What makes you think someone who adds a reporter to a classified communication on an unsecured channel is not EXACTLY the kind of guy who is susceptible to social engineering? Listen to him nervously trying to explain how it could have happened and you will have no confidence he is not that kind of guy.

I provided one. The NSA outlined a very specific vulnerability and restated that Signal was "NOT approved to process or store nonpublic classified information". And I guaran-damn-tee, if a reporter asked Hegseth before the attack what the weapons and timing were prior to the attack, he would have responded, "that is classified". Hegseth is just a moron lying about being a moron. If I was one of the pilots being put in harms way by that moron, I would be livid that all my sacrifices, and my life, were being put at risk by someone who claims OPSEC is in place while in the process of violating OPSEC. Worse than any DEI hire that was ever hired. Unless, of course, he was a DEI hire.

Besides the incompetence, everyone looks competent? That is some of the hardest, most covoluted rationalizing I have ever seen.
