Got some Holy Cow on my beef spare ribs I just dropped on. Will smoke at 180 for 3 hours, then bring up the temp in a bit. will play that by ear when i check the temps. These three big ribs aren’t a uniform size, so I expect the smaller one to be a bit more done.

What specific help from the Touhys are you referencing? Or are you broadly talking their presence here. I’m not disputing they had a role in some things, but their influence as depicted in the film is a ways from reality, like a lot of “based on a true story” and “inspired by true events” stories. And yes, he’d have found his way to a D1 program eventually.

He’d have played D1 ball regardless.

Read the story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Oher?wprov=sfti1 Wikipedia’s description of the events - source linked here: https://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/24/magazine/24football.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Oher was already enrolled at the private school and an all-state football player before he moved in with Tuohys. His HS coach was Hugh Freeze before Freeze was hired at Ole Miss. I suspect if they did nothing, we wouldn’t have a movie featuring them so prominently but I believe the probability of him playing in college and the NFL about the same.

… and is the third person involved in the 1984 controversy with the Olympic team who often doesn’t get mentioned. I met him for the first time a few years ago down in Texas … where he was WITH Randy Lewis.

Yes. it on the UWW schedule each day.

Hadn’t heard that one before …

I didn’t say talented people and future coaches weren’t part of those programs but Kentucky, LSU and Tennessee saw more success when they were competing in the various qualifying regionals than in the SEC, where the qualifier system at the time was limiting. The point to bring up here is how every program, no matter how big or how strong, can provide quality and dedicated mentors and coaches for the next generation of wrestlers.

Alabama wasn't good. Never ranked. Never an All-American. Never finished higher than 37th at the NCAA championships. Auburn was showing promise when it was dropped in 1981. They finished 9th in 1981 with three All-Americans, including Clar Anderson who won an NCAA title two years later at Oklahoma State. Auburn was ranked in the Top 25 only three times in its history, those last two seasons. Historically, they weren't good. They had two good seasons at the end.

I hate Twinkies … but I hear the word almost daily. We also don’t have them in the house.

It would actually make the EIWA 18 teams …

Weak attempt.

Guys, you do know that some places wait until an actual contract is signed before putting out an official release. Most of the time, it’s HR and paperwork that’s the hold up.

Sammy’s just a good dude. Always ready to drop a handshake, fist bump or a hug, even if you don’t know him super well. One of those guys it’s hard to root against. It’s refreshing we’ve got the whole sport (it seems) rallying around him.

2023 Collegiate Duals in Nashville

Pretty sure the last two years there were 12 teams, not 16. -
Eras and rule sets make going across those divides so difficult. I applaud the effort for sure. Also, perhaps the “best 4” is a fair metric? It’s not equal but it may be equitable in trying to get the idea of this across. Might be worth throwing against the wall …

Brakeman, the freaking OG of amazing HS analysts.

Maybe Janiak killed the referee’s dog in a past life.

Smoked venison loin. A bit more done than the recipe called for, but bruh … this is effing delicious. wicked tender and juicy.

Because the Italians have such a big influence … Let’s not confuse possible ineptitude with corruption. They’re allowed to exist differently I thought it was a bad call, but in asking some officials I know about it, they don’t seem to find it that egregious considering the last minute of the bout. Horrible way to not win - I won’t say lose here. Not every bad call we perceive is anti-American bias.
