He did not look sharp. I have no idea how much work he did to prepare for the Trials but it obviously was not enough. DT was great. Multi world champ and Oly champ. His legacy is cemented. I hope he will be a great coach for OSU. That program needs serious help. mspart

I was just throwing out names. If Brooks and Bo are not in DT's corner, then they won't go. But they would be great assets to OSU if they did, is there disagreement there? Maybe it will be someone like Casey who is the real wizard there. DT needs to find himself a Casey Cunningham. mspart

I don't know that those were aimed at DT. Just saying he staying. mspart

I was unaware of that. They may have some loyalty to DT, but they are now with CS and CC at PSU. Proven track record. Tough to walk away from that. But I can see M2 folks going, I just was unaware of them. mspart

I love this tune and the band has a great name. Too Slim and the Tail Draggers. I heard this on a blues radio show years ago and it has always stuck with me. I think these guys are local to the pacific northwest. I just think this has an incredible groove. mspart

The last we smoked was some lamb and steak. They did not come out the greatest. Flavor was great, but the meat was either too well done or not enough. Still learning how this works, but I love the flavor smoking gives to the meat. mspart

Wow you are right. Both were gassed at the end. Sad was not sharp offensively, but was in counter wrestling. And in defense he was able to block and scramble. But he did not look near as sharp as the Sad of yesteryears. Thanks for providing the video. That was fun to watch. mspart

And it didn't work either!! mspart

I think that would be incredible. But I don't think so but you never know. It wasn't like he was the HC and is moving to another school. He wasn't even an assistant. That is what I am basing my opinion on. But, you could be right, but I will be surprised if he pulls any PSU folks to his new dojo. mspart

I don't think he brings anyone from PSU. I don't think he was as involved with the PSU guys as the RTC guys. And from the look of him at the Trials, he may not have been that involved with the RTC guys. mspart

So who would be credible candidates as assistants at OSU under DT? I could see Aaron Brooks maybe. Getting Bo might be good also but he has his MMA career to think about but he would be great with the upper weights. He and Brooks could gang up on them and whip them into shape. What about mid to lower weights? Gilman might be good for the lower weights. He could rough up some guys and sharpen them. Middle weights how about Marinelli? Any other thoughts? mspart

Yeah that orange is a downer really. But it is what it is. mspart

For Cael, it was a good move. He went where there was seemingly better opportunity. DT is doing similar. He would be an assistant at PSU for a very long time. Now he is HC at a very prestigious wrestling university that was once great and could be great again. It will be exciting to see how DT can get this going. Did John Smith retire first or because of the DT hire? Personally, JS needed to move out. He was a great coach but like others before him, he just didn't have that same fire in the later years. No disrespect aimed at him at all, he is a great coach. I think he just held on a few years too long. For DT, it was the right amount of years obviously. It will be interesting to see how he does. I wish him the best of luck. mspart

What would be the problem with Coleman staying where he is? He's a quality individual. I'm sure DT will clean house, this usually happens. But still..... mspart

Hey Truzz - Is there a place we can see this match of which you speak of? mspart

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ilhan-omars-pro-genocide-jews-remark-sparks-house-censure-effort Ilhan Omar’s 'pro-genocide' Jews remark sparks House censure effort Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is being hit with a censure resolution on Tuesday after she referred to some Jewish students as "pro-genocide" during a recent visit to Columbia University. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., is introducing the resolution against Omar on Tuesday, a source familiar with his plans told Fox News Digital. The New York City Ivy League school has been the flashpoint for nationwide demonstrations on college campuses, where students have set up tent encampments to protest their universities' financial ties to pro-Israel companies. Omar's daughter was one of more than 100 Columbia students and young adults attending its sister school, Barnard College, who were arrested over their encampment last month. The progressive "Squad" Democrat visited the demonstration on April 26 in a show of solidarity for the anti-Israel protesters. "I actually met a lot of Jewish students who are in the encampment, and I think it is really unfortunate that people don't care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe," Omar told Fox 5 New York while there. "We should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide." Genocide would be wiping out all Gazans. That is materially and factually not happening. She is irresponsible with this rhetoric. There are 2-3 million Gazans and less than 100k have been killed. In no way is that a genocide. She doesn't belong in Congress. She should be booted or not allowed on any committee. She is blight in the halls of Congress. That's my opinion. mspart

I went to a lot of concerts back in the day. Most were in basketball arenas or smaller. They were great. I hope the sound is good at this place. That would be a bummer to have bad sound. I saw Black Sabbath and Van Halen (VH was the opener and their first tour) in a smaller arena in Seattle Center and it was great. Both bands lit it up. I've seen plenty of other bands as well. One of the best concerts was in a theatre with BB King. He was awesome and the music was awesome. I had seats some ways back. I walked around and got in a conversation with a lady and I said I was pretty excited for the concert and she said she was too. She was near the front and I asked if she would switch with me, and the answer was an emphatic no. Still probably one of the best shows I've ever been to. He was good but his band was really out of this world. It was a great all round show. Blues, jazz, rock. It had everything. mspart

I just don't understand how Billy Joel fills a stadium anymore. Very few acts can do that nowadays. AC/DC, Metallica, Taylor Swift, and not many others. I guess Billy Joel is one of those. mspart

Looks like we will be seeing Billy Joel. She's excited I think. mspart

They'll love it there!! mspart

Maybe too harsh. mspart

Like I said, I heard it on TV so take that for what it is worth.

Hi style doesn't mesh with being on the World or olympic team. He might as well stay put and learn a new thing or two and maybe have better success. mspart

For that alone he should be removed from office. He swore to enforce the laws of the land. He is not doing it and he admits it right there. Hopefully he is booted come Nov and outta there in Jan. Come on man!! mspart

Back to the topic, Why couldn't David Taylor compete in the Olympics. He is the #2 guy. He could have Big John take care of bizness until he gets back. Perhaps he just doesn't have the hunger for it like he once did. That seemed to come out in the trials. But I think he could still do it if it came to it. But perhaps it is not feasible to do both. Probably not. He's got to go recruiting etc. I'd hate that part of the job. mspart
