Two years with Taylor and Hendrickson will go a heck of a lot farther than 5 years in the Iowa room. With Brandvold (and to a lesser extent Gable) gone from Minny, I don't understand why every blue chip big in the country isn't lining up to waive any and all NIL deals for the chance to be in Stillwater or State College. They are where olympic dreams will be made.

I give the "best" title to the only person with a world championship to their name. When I was in high school, I went to an offseason practice at Eastern Illinois University when they still had a program. There was a 2x AA alum that was back working with some of the college guys and I got an invite to come to the room for some workouts. So anyways this dude doesn't really focus on wrestling anymore and I've got a solid 30-40 pounds on him but he just absolutely beats the crap out of me. And then, because I was a moron in high school, I said or did something that I thought was innocent but apparently lit a fire under his ass because we went on feet again and he took a short swing that literally knocked me out for a hot minute. So anyways, I get to tell my kids that the coolest thing that ever happened to me is that I got my ass kicked by Matt Hughes and I learned a valuable life lesson that day that you should absolutely never run your mouth and the only time you ever can get away with it is on an anonymous internet forum... if you're lucky.

Counterpoint: it's still really early in the year so you might as well hit that deductible and out-of-pocket so you can get all the bonus procedures you've been putting off for years

Would be something if he grows his coaching skills up and takes over Wiscy in a few years

I said his ceiling is a mix of one of, at worst, the three best assistants in the country at any level mixed with B1G head coach with multiple AAs and the occasional finalist appearance. What about that says "Gilman can't coach" His floor is his floor. Still better than most. Gilman marches to the beat of his own drum and no one else's so don't be slighted.

Don't forget the dodgeball cardio

Great competitor, not sure coaching is in his future and certainly not while he is still competing. Ceiling: Mix between Terry and Bono Floor: Chertow-like nomad

Dake is obviously going to Cowboy RTC as part of the civil war between Carl and the Magic Man

Zahid sliding into Brooks' DMs like "ay bro be sure to CC me on that April 14 Final X email"

A threshold exists where exits migrate from dictated to negotiated.

Ramos recruited + coached a 2x NCAA champ/ 5x AA and has had at least one AA ever year since joining in a state historically lacking wrestling resources and a school that had long become an afterthought. I will take that "cringe" every day of the week and twice on Sunday. So save the strays for someone else.

Let me try to clarify my scenario: I am a senior leader that can either move up or move out depending on the political winds that month. I would rather max immediately and lock into the match than risk chipping a little every two weeks. For me, it is risking leaving free retirement money on the table so yes it is long vs short. I am fortunate to have the ability to max out my contributions early when many people are doing their best to pay for braces and save enough for nice clothes for their kids and I do not lose sight of that. Ever.

There was nothing controversial about that series stop it

It's obviously because Fix wouldn't let him check out the garage fridge

I was so close!

I'm not the best resource for trail running because I stick to the pavement sorry. Novablasts for easy days, I'm digging the Evo SL and love that the Peg Turbo is back (called Pegasus Plus now) for workouts, and I'm a hefty fella so I rock Alphaflys for halves and fulls / Vaporfly 10k and down + track workouts.

Now do the most affluential SV personalities. You know, the Thiels, Musks, Zucks, Balmers, Benioffs of the world. Gates is the outlier.

Once in '68, then five times in a row during a best of "two" in '70. Sometimes it's better to be the Chixculub Asteroid destroying the world once than an ice age that is long-term damage that can be sustained occasionally. But it won't get you on the Top 5 overall list.

If you think Silicon Valley is liberal then I bet you would be interested in my recent bridge property for sale...

The person who claimed he's a flat earther ALSO believes the earth is flat and the edges are surrounded by ads that lock out the screen just sayin

It is a strategic advantage in my particular position, and I would recommend others do the same. It's long term versus short term. I recognize not everyone can withstand the pain like I could if they lost their job today, but the gains are worth the short sacrifice.
