The reason I am predicting him to Okie State is because PSU has such a log jam at most weights but I didn't think about him going 149lbs after Van Ness leaves. That could certainly open up a possibility. Also - I did not know that Melvin Miller was his brother. A matter of fact this past week is the first I am really even hearing any hype about Melvin Miller. Are they blood related?

My prediction is he joins Jax at Okie State.

I was actually excited about him going to Iowa. I thought Blaze, Bo and Jax going to different schools was interesting and I thought it would make the PSU/Iowa rivalry better too.

Are you talking about Donny Osmond, two time national champ?

My friend I think you underestimate just how little the MAGA cult cares about being absolute hypocrites. Like their cult leader they don’t care.

I thought the PSU wrestling theme song was:

I guess the goalposts are on the moon now.

Everyone is always the hero of their own fantasy.

Braeden Davis is better than Nagao in my opinion. I think the year before he came to PSU was an outlier of what he is.

I HATE them.

How do you feel about people who don't return their cart to the cart area of supermarkets? The ones that just leave it by their parking spot.

Even repeating or skipping 8th grade to in an attempt to give you an advantage in sports is still an insanely low bar for being morally bankrupt. Even if you play video games.

I'd hate to see how you react to someone who did something actually bad. You have an impossible bar to clear my man if repeating the 8th grade is morally bankrupt.

I think he repeated 8th grade to benefit him in his wrestling career. I am not sure why it matters that RBY played video games that year. He could have planted a garden. Or taken up wood working. I don't know that it's relevant what a 14/15 year old kid did while he repeated the 8th grade, taking classes that he already passed. It was for wrestling obviously.

They 100% redshirted so they could have a better chance of winning an individual title. It worked considering they both came back and won an individual title. I am not sure anyone has ever put forth any other explanation of why they redshirted when they did. Is there something inherently wrong with them making decisions that would allow them to achieve their goals? I am not understanding your post.

No, I don't think having a kid repeat the 8th grade because of athletics is morally bankrupt. I mean, if that is what passes for morally bankrupt then what in the hell do we call people who do real, actual bad things? I think we need some perspective here man. If the floor for being morally bankrupt is having your son repeat 8th grade then I am afraid that the bar for being a morally good person will be so high that literally nobody can reach it. On a side note if you haven't watched The Good Place then you should. What we are talking about here is the entire premise of the show. It's an incredibly funny and entertaining watch.

I was born right at the cutoff date to start school. My mom could have started me in kindergarten but I would have been one of the youngest kids in the class. Instead she started me the next year and I was one of the oldest kids in my class and I absolutely loved that. If you're close to the cutoff date I would honestly recommend starting your child the next year. At least that is how I feel from personal experience. My niece and my best friend's son were both born in March, two weeks apart. My sister started my niece in kindergarten while my best friend opted to start his kid in kindergarten the following year. My niece will be in 4th grade in the fall while my buddy's kid will be in 3rd grade. I'd rather be the kid in 3rd grade that is older than everyone. I really don't have an opinion on purposely holding your kid back in 8th grade if he is a kid that could be a D1 athlete. At this point there is A LOT to gain by holding your kid back a year. You can set your entire family up financially by doing that at this point. I certainly don't blame parents these days for putting their kids in a position to set themselves up financially for the rest of their lives, even if it means their kid takes a year to play video games.

Repeating 8th grade is 200% morally bankrupt? It sounds like you're really grading on a curve here. What kinda of percentage does actually doing something bad get you? Seventeen billion percent morally bankrupt?

I completely understand why you lead with “this will be my last post on this thread.”

I have a day job and I still post on this dumb board during the day. If I can do it then Pete Minnow can too.

Pyles looks like he would get pinned by an 8th grader wrestling JV on their junior high team.

I’m a “college starter” level poster.

These are all fair points.
