I’m following my buddy Vak around just for the vocabulary lessons.

Has a whole family ever vanished before?

Biden and Kamala are in the situation room for the photo op. Kamala kicked things off yesterday with a lesson on Israel being a small country in the Middle East next to some bigger countries…. I’m not sure her opening remarks have ended yet.

This could be big.

Voters and the media are ok that there are people behind the scenes running the puppet show. Kamala will spend as much time on vacation as Biden.

Restrictive covenants are falling by the wayside.

How would he look in boots?

I don’t follow football closely, so I had no idea how many promising nfl prospects get walking papers on this day.

Every year he takes off, Iowa’s offer will go up.

Well, in the heat of the moment, you don’t really expect him to say he was going to Disney World did you?

headshuck has a bias against people who talk about themselves in the third person.

Twix?

Does this spell the end of the “Twitter is better” thread?

They should bring back Jon Lovitz to do Waltz.

Why wouldn’t you transfer out and some back in for a cool $500k?

That’s why I’m saying they are abandoning their brand.

I’m saying from an Iowa historical brand thing, you spend whatever resources you can to make the guys *you have* successful. JRob used to talk about bringing in spiritual advisors to help his wrestlers. There were no portals back in the day. JRob and Gable got the most out if their guys, even if walk-on.

You wonder how many senior level wrestlers and coaches they were outbidded on over the past decade? While Cael was building, was the price for an individual coach/senior level wrestler just outside of the budget? And now instead of spending $500k on a coach that could get Marinelli his titles, along with helping other middle weights, they’re now faced with the prospect of spending the same amount on an individual prima donna transfer. The brand was push Marinelli to win at all cost.

Has anyone figured out the motivation behind the recent drive to win a title at all costs, specifically transfer costs? Iowa Hawkeye Wrestling was one of the strongest sports franchises in the past century. Sure, it was the winning streak, but it was much more. It was the unheard of mental and physical barriers their wrestlers went through to win. Do they think winning titles again with transfers is enough to restore the brand? Maybe it’s simply a compensation contract the coaches made to win regardless of approach? You’d think an Iowa brand contract would spend money and resources on “grass roots” recruits, whatever it took.

Leave Cheryl Hines alone. She’s suffered enough, being married to Larry and all.
