I was in Houston during the winter storm when the wonderful "christian" Joel Osteen locked the doors on his mega-scam, sorry, I mean mega-church to people who'd been forced out of their homes because "we had the carpets cleaned".  Well, that sounds like a good excuse to let people die of exposure: our carpets just got cleaned. 

 

 

I remember that. What he did doesn't surprise me one bit. Pretty degusting. He might want to go back and do a little reading in the bible about the poor and those who are need.

141 or 149 in college. It depends if he puts on more muscle. I believe he could be wrestling 138 right now if his team needed him to. It wouldn't be that much of a cut.

next to Dreshaun, I can say he is below 6'3"

I'll say about 5 feet 5 inches. With his age 18+ he probably done growing height wise. He will continue to fill out muscle wise.

141 Mendez over Vombaur 3-6

165 Sparks over Gallagher 9-10
174 Kharchla major Whiting 9-14
184 McEnelly over Rogotzke 13-14 this match will be crazy
197 Salazar over Shumate 16-14
285 Gable major Feldman 19-14

Ohio state could certainly flip 125, 157 or 165 though. This is kind of best case scenario for gophers.

If they flip one they win.

How tall is Bo now? In feet and inches?

Im ok with your solution.  For the record.  But Chicago doesn’t like to jail criminals.   Especially if they are illegals.  

Then we need to order some boots. I will pay for the concrete. It will Save the taxpayers some money.

It is wild that they can not compete financially at a school that is believed to spend more on sports than any other.

"Ohio State spent $274.9 million on athletics in 2022-23, according to data in Sportico’s college finance database, by far the most among all public schools.

Before the start of the season, Bjork told Yahoo Sports that the football team’s players were promised “around $20 million” via NIL deals from the Buckeyes’ donor-led collective and its affiliates."

You said the magic word "FOOTBALL".  I think adapting to the new landscape of wrestling world is imperative for future success. Having two of your better wrestlers, (Sasso and Kharchla) one recovering from a horrific shooting and the other from multiple injuries and surgeries doesn't make things any easier.

 This is chicago il.   Unless they can get federal charges involved they would likely rather release them to do public school education for 3rd graders.  

Unfortunately, you are right. On the other hand, there is a certain organization in Chicago that specializes in concrete boots.

Ohio state is not, in fact, cooked. 

I think the last 6 years or so have been tough to navigate. You had covid. We would have had 2 Champs that year (Moore and Pletcher). You have had 5th,6th, 7th, and 8th year wrestlers with 5 years of competing eligibility. Now we have the one year hired gun, Portal. The lay of the land has changed dramatically. I personally think the next 3 years will be good if we can keep everyone healthy.

$1.3b for Canada is a complete joke. You probably have a friend or two with that much money. When you look at the pathetic commitment they made, he clearly caved. 

You might want to pace yourself. You are going to have 4 years of President Trump. Then you might get JD Vance for a few years.

I am ok with a swift trial and then implement the death penalty. Do this in about 1 week. I want as little as possible of my tax money wasted on this vermin. I think deporting murders is absolutely nuts. Death penalty swiftly executed.

A real question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’

THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:

That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2018/04/10/trump-university-settlement-judge-finalized/502387002/)

That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you exclaimed, "He sure knows me." (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/10/23/president-donald-trump-could-shoot-someone-without-prosecution/4073405002/)

That when you heard him relating a story of an elderly guest of his country club, an 80-year old man, who fell off a stage and hit his head, to Trump replied: “‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He was bleeding all over the place. And I felt terrible, because it was a beautiful white marble floor, and now it had changed color. Became very red.” You said, "That's cool!" (https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-howard-stern-story)

That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-criticized-after-he-appears-mock-reporter-serge-kovaleski-n470016)

That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be." (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-insult-foreign-countries-leaders_n_59dd2769e4b0b26332e76d57)

That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!"

That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!"

That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise. (https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/democracy/reports/2018/06/04/451570/confronting-cost-trumps-corruption-american-families/)

What you don't get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also... hear me... charitable.

Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

Maybe you should simply move on. It is ok. Failure is part of life. Dwelling on it does not make it any better. Stepping back and doing a thorough assessment of "YOUR" failure is important. Then going about systematically to fix what caused your failure is very important. Good luck. Some Democrats are doing that some are not.

The comment about 'brand' is clearly a reference to the Brands bros (see Poster below for iconic reference). Another indicator: BB also mentioned that the program produces 'good' wrestlers. It's clearly a reference to Iowa, who is adept at producing good wrestlers, as opposed to PSU, who produces 'phenomenal' or 'generational' wrestlers. The answer is right there--you just have to read between the lines.

Thats a stretch but ok. Maybe they actually use a branding iron.

Yes, the worst collapse since the great depression. There is a run on the banks as we speak. People who have lost everything are leaping from buildings around wall street. Buy your ammo now to protect your family and home.

Just like our former President and most of his family members.. Just like about 75% of all the politicians in Washington DC. go Figure. Then you have 10 of thousands of churches that do everything right and help 10 of millions of people.

We will find out. But right now they are about even. We shall see.

When they say NIL is 2 million dollars is that per year? Is it for 5 years? Would there be any bonus for winning a NCAA title?

Bo says the NIL offers are all comparable.

I would say they are within 500,000 dollars of each other. Which is comparable these days. The slum Lord in Iowa will need to dig deep in his pockets to land Bo and he will.

Another sign of weakness. As stocks collapse,  he backtracks. More to cone with other countries. 

Diaper boy bit off more than he can chew, once again. 

Mexico caves. They are sending 10,000 soldiers to the border. Plus, they have agreed to do other things, and they asked Trump to give them 30 days to fall in line.

Between churches, private Americans, all types of medical doctors and nurses, hundreds of organizations, hundreds of billions of dollars is given out in money and free services to other counties. Then you have the federal government gives out hundreds of billions of dollars in money (aid) and free services to other countries. Then our military spends billions of dollars protecting other countries interests. Maybe a few other countries could step up to the plate and give of their money and free services. But America has given more than any other country defending freedom in this world. We have given of our National Treasure. The lives of our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, uncles, aunts, cousins, grand parents and friends. Add it all up. Its a lot.

I predict they will have 8 semi-finalists. Excellent chance to have 6 in the finals, maybe more.

It is a stretch but if they stay healthy, they have a chance of having 8 finalists. They have a very good chance of having 5 Champions. They looked very solid last night.
