  1. Rumor is that Cormier slid in her DMs and asked if she wanted a Golden Corral the night before weigh-ins and they snuggled in bed the next morning with five orders of room service French toast
  2. Make it a 10 point major. But the conversation everyone seems to keep missing is that the innovators and savants such as Carl and Co. are about to usher in an even higher level of beatdowns akin to the Death Squad lineup from the peak Golden State Warriors teams raining threes all over the place. And just like the trickledown effect of math in the NBA to the kids level when Dr. Stephen Curry scientifically proved that 3>2 we will see the same from kids level which will eventually lead to sustained, or even improved, results at the international level across age groups with an increased emphasis on takedowns and defense.
  3. Nothing more prestigious than a Salute Your Shorts trophy. I wonder if it will be chippy in the 125 bracket again because sometimes parents don't like to see what happens when Santa visits the children of naughty parents who run their mouths and get their kids caught in the crosshairs.
  4. Arby's curly fries. Sometimes you gotta make room before you make weight, ya know
  5. 5 pound beef tenderloin seared to perfection then baked in a dutch oven with a beurre manié full of mushrooms and shallots served with a creamy homemade horseradish sauce. Salad is a butternut squash, quinoa, and kale salad with a honey & mustard vinaigrette. Then comes some homemade ice cream followed by either a Bourbon County Stout or a Bell's double cream stout depending on how much room is left. The only thing premade is the horseradish sauce the night before. Worth the time, effort, and every penny. And yes I will gladly share my recipes for inquiring minds. I forgot to add there are feta roasted brussel sprouts with a balsamic reduction as a side.
  6. Ding ding ding
  7. Gomez was told by doctors to walk away due to concussions after a stellar frosh year where he made R12. I think that gives him a free pass for the first retirement.
  8. r/angryupvote
  9. Even after omitting half the teams in the dual, that is a better hype video than anything I have ever seen at the NCAA level for wrestling. You want to grow fans in 2023? This is how. Dana White may be an S-tier scumbag but he is a scumbag with an international audience and wrestling would be keen to take notes.
  10. A few reasons in no particular order: The current trend across all sports is fewer actual goes in order to reduce wear & tear. Less mileage = ability to produce at a deeper depth when it matters for a longer sustained period of time i.e can do 2 major tournaments per year for 10 years instead of 4 major tournaments in 4 months for five years. This goes against the previous multi-generational "wrestle as many matches as possible" mantra. Seeds don't matter nearly as much with the medalists earning auto byes. And honestly how much do they really matter at the senior level anyways? Everyone is so good and the only goal is to win. At NCAAs sure a seed could be the difference between AA 8th and R16/R12, but if you want to make a world/olympic team you have to beat everyone. Refer to Vito and Taylor and Dake and Parris as contemporary examples that earned '23 world medals but were previously unable to break through domestic barriers. Some guys are banged up and are at a mental level where going to last chance to earn their spot is not intimidating. They would rather be healthy when it matters most than cause more damage.
  11. In the event the federal supreme court does not reverse the decision, in a one word answer ("yes" or "no") will your opinion change?
  12. You know what else was a bad precedent? Leading an insurrection on January 6. That does not comport to democracy and is a terrible precedent - just ask Brazil. Let me ask you: do you feel that the above is an opinion or a fact? If the former, then is your rhetoric any different? If the latter, then why are we wasting our time since literally no one in this forum is a credentialed legal scholar?
  13. That's literally why we elect them. In business terms, it's reverse delegating a task/decision up to your manager.
  14. This is a state exercising state rights as voted on by citizens of the state. Populus -> Governor and state government consituents -> State supreme court. In Colorado, state supreme court justices are selected through assisted appointment with a governor-controlled judicial nominating commission. Justices are appointed by the governor with the assistance of a commission with a majority of members selected by the governor. This means that the people entrusted their democratically majority elected officials to determine their state supreme court. If that sounds familiar it is because that is how the federal supreme court is selected at a nearly 1:1 path.
  15. Lot of ground to make up in order to catch @ionel by EOY.
  16. Speaking of optics and Confederate traitors to the United States of America
  17. The only lock at 125 is McKee taking 3rd
  18. At this point I think Lilledahl should reclassify and throw his name in for 125
  19. Uvalde has entered the chat
  20. I assumed common sense was common.
  21. Average head salary is $3.5. 250k/3.5m is approximately 7.14% so I would call that a wee bit more than a penny.
  22. First offense is $250 and increases in $250 increments for each additional offense. Teams start at $500.
  23. The NBA commissioner has gone to great lengths over a number of years to resolve the load management issue with positive reinforcement [play-In tournament with with approximately a $40,000,000 prize pool for the players and coaches] and negative reinforcement [6 to seven figure escalating fines at the coach and team levels].
  24. Unless Taylor doesn't win gold - then he is going to stick around and go on a revenge tour. But the end of the current quad is going to be a much bigger changing of the guard than ever before. JB, Taylor, Cox, and Gilman are all likely to leave their shoes on the mat. I think Dake will continue going even if he wins an *olympic gold, Gilman retires the next time he doesn't make the team which may very well be in 18 short weeks, and Snyder is going to compete until he's 40 or can't make the team (I'll take the former). We are very much witnessing a valiant last stand and we should all take a moment to appreciate the renaissance of freestyle wrestling. The real treasure was the chairs we threw along the way.
