No he isn't a real pro boxer. But he makes money at it so that could be a justification for the term. He is at best an amateur boxer and probably would not do well in that circuit. mspart

Ain't that the truth. mspart

That's a good one RYou. mspart

5 years is not too long to graduate. If I'm not footing the bill that is. mspart

I graduated in 5 years, but did an engineering major that required more than the traditional amount of credits plus I double majored in Spanish. So I was dawdling and didn't do sports. But my foray into Spanish set me back a bit. I also did a Masters Degree in Engineering that was more because i was not done playing flag football, Ultimate Frisbee, softball, or wrestling - all intramural. I had a great time with the Master's degree but actually stayed because I was not done playing. Got a good job at the end and found my wife also so it was a good decision. mspart

He makes money at boxing so I guess he could call himself a professional boxer. Everyone knows he is not really a pro boxer. It is all about the appearances and not about reality. Does he need to fight anymore with the money he's made. Probably not. He has marketed himself really well and has lived the dream. I hope he invests as well as he promotes. mspart

You got booted for mentioning that? That's ridiculous. Did they ever ban anyone else for mentioning some other wrestling forum? That's just beyond the pale. mspart - I've been asked before. So here it is for all to see. When I first got onto the internet and email and stuff, I was in Minneapolis/St Paul area, living in Apple Valley. My first name is Arthur but I go by Art. The airport code for Minneapolis/St Paul is MSP. And there you go. mspart

OK, what is tipping with regards to pitching? mspart

Here is another that shows his virtuosity. A guitarist's guitarist. Not many better, faster, more technical, or more melodic. mspart

To watch Frank Marino is an awesome experience. He no longer plays, apparently has some issues with one of his arms that is locked up and very painful. mspart

Yes, that's true. Those that fight him and lose win anyway. mspart

No hitter - one pitcher. No exceptions. Do I look like I'm kidding!!!! mspart

Knees are delicate mechanisms. He will have to really protect those babies. Regarding Streibler, he won a Senior WC in 2016 for non Olympic weights. So he has some credentials other than NCAAs. I don't know Lee at all but wish him the best of luck with his health. If that works, he should be a 4 timer. mspart

See!!! We are bringing people together. I love this board. mspart

I'm not ascared of Guido. I think the coach sees the behavior, even if National champ, and sits down and has an honest discussion about the way things are going to work. He has the option of towing the line or moving on. Period. mspart

So wrestling has a chance!!! I remember when we lived in Hawaii and America's got talent had two from the islands competing. The amount of votes that went to carry them through was amazing. And multiple votes too. The whole state was calling in. Now just imagine if we could do that for Jordan. mspart

Since when are we ever wrong? mspart

If that is the rumor, Smith should be doing what he can to get the program firing on all cylinders. But he hasn't done that in a couple of years so maybe he is burnt out. Makes a great commetator, I really enjoyed watching the Olys with he and Jordan on the mic.

Absolutely. I think he is the secret sauce at PSU. He may want to come out of Cael's shadow or may really like it there because of all the success. I would think he would be for the challenge. mspart

MMA might be his path after jail or prison (of course only if found guilty). mspart Amending my statement. I have no idea if he is innocent or guilty. MMA would probably be his path unless he is innocent and some college takes a chance on him. If not, MMA. If he is guilty, MMA when he gets out if he has youth enough.

I'm a Bama fan thru and thru. And I'm thinking chinks in their armor have been exposed. TN showed they have a great offense for sure. They also showed not much defense. Unfortunately, Bama did the same. No team scoring 49 points should lose but Bama did. Not very enthused about their chances vs LSU. LSU can be a spoiler every bit as much as Auburn. I hope Bama wins so they can move up into National Championship contention. I take TN over GA. Those guys are on a serious roll. Heckuva weekend for sure. mspart

Didn't we just wrestle in Serbia? And they have the Covid now? I'm thinking we dodged a bullet!! mspart

Istanbul is a no brainer really. History, they love wrestling, great sights to see and experience. When I was on another trip, a couple went with us and they were planning to hit Istanboooool since in the neighborhood. They had a bit of an accent for sure. mspart

True to their word, the board ceased to exist today. There is no themat.com forums. Thanks to Bob and Willie for getting this forum started and thanks to all that have come over. Hoping to have an equally good time here as there. mspart

Brands still has his knees though. Now's here's a question. Would Gable have kept his dominance once Cael went to PSU? That one would be a head scratcher. mspart
