This. I’m all about this.

I threw a large sirloin on for dinner, quick marinade in Worcestershire (this for some reason has to be capitalized?) and soy sauces with a hit of garlic. Smoked for about an hour at 225, then cranked the Traeger up to 450 for the final 15 minutes and boom. Only reason I went that long is my wife doesn't like medium rare, so I had to at least give it a bit more than I normally like.

Twas my tagline on TheMat when people seemed to believe I still worked at USAW almost a decade after I left when people went off the reservation on various forum posts. I stopped working at the NWCA full-time and operating InterMat in 2008, so it plays with the fact I don't work here either. It's got a double negative, but it's not factually incorrect.

Embrace correctness.

If you’re Team Pinfall, you’re on Team Pyles. That’s the reality of the situation.

Kind of a morbid request - he wasn’t exactly a nice guy - esp. to the female posters on TWT back in the day, but here’s the link https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/yevgeniy-bashmachenko-obituary?pid=172173028

It was an oft-quoted myth that the Big Ten required wrestling for membership. That speculation wasn’t rooted in anything factual, unfortunately. The only conference that requires wrestling for full all-sports membership is the Division III American Rivers Conference (formerly known as the Iowa Conference)

It’s across all sports …

They were active for a spell as an NJCAA program with only one All-American, a JC heavyweight in 1963. Now they’re a D3 school.

Detest Beam. I don’t have a super diverse palate with the bourbons, but I can pick that one out of a lineup just by its smell.

Jeff and Pat might be friends, but they're far from the same. Jeff is actually a friend of mine. Goes back to his days at ODU before he transferred to East Stroudsburg.

I answered your question to the best of my knowledge. You asked there still isn’t D1 wrestling in Texas. I gave you the reason why this hasn’t yet been announced. I can’t give you a place to go because I haven’t been told a place to go to contribute.

There has not yet been an announcement on this. I hear there is still a fundraising figure that needs to be met for this to become a reality.

It exists in Austin, and wherever WKN lives … and squared circles and bowling alleys across the world.

That was long before divisions. Divisional structure wasn’t enacted until 1974 and the college/university split started in 1963. There was major college wrestling there, but it can’t be described as D1. Same with results into the 1960s with schools like UTEP and Houston competing within their own Texas league, which best I can tell, would be like a club equivalent.

Sauve once showed up to our house in college for boxing night. Wasn’t a good ending when I drew his name for a go.

I've also added this thing called a BBQ hack to my Traeger, it's basically a flat-top grill add-on, rather than buying a blackstone. I'm still on the fence about it, since it's a real bitch to clean.

So many more moving parts than what you describe in this particular instance. Some people don't want to hear the facts, so I spared them (and the rest of the board) a long, thoughtful response because it'd just be a waste of my time. If you're interested in the process in this particular instance, my DMs are open.

Wife’s old job had “points” and a store so before she left, we cashed in all those points and boom, Traeger it was. Still working on some of the nuances with various meats. I’ve crushed 3 briskets, but one smaller one left a bit to be desired (it was took short on the cook time). Sweet corn in the husk is an awesome side that I throw on the last hour of a smoke. When we do Thanksgiving here, I do a “practice bird” on Tuesday so we get some leftovers since when we host, everyone eats it all. I do finally understand why good bbq costs so much after getting a smoker.

You’re so adorbs …

So you, as someone with no experience in the role or how NGB social media and communication staffing works, has the experience to say it’s a piss poor excuse? Don’t accept it, that’s on you - doesn’t make it not true. You don’t have to like facts - but that’s what they are.

Have you worked in the communications department there? Did you build their social media accounts and following? I’m the only one on this board with that direct experience and direct knowledge of how the responsibilities of the comms department is. So when presented with a viable truth from someone with direct experience, you would rather not believe it?

Or it could simply be a manpower and training issue in that department. Which it is.
