I just think it’s interesting that @ionel IMO is “badmouthing” Gilman, which I’m pretty sure he didn’t do during the time he was at OSU, except for maybe questioning his challenge brick timing.

That’s why I said “implying.” Weird to bring up something that happened like 7 years ago or whenever that was

I do think matside weigh ins would result in less weight cutting overall. But I also think it makes it more dangerous for those that will I’m sure will continue to do it.

Well aren’t you implying it was his fault that he “couldn’t get along at OSU”?

So it’s okay to badmouth anyone that leaves?

Turning on him already?

I didn’t realize RTC’s usually had an associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. I guess they just copy pasted from the team site and added Zo.

Because some people will still cut weight, but they won’t have any time to rehydrate/refuel between weigh ins and the match.

Well I believe no NCAA wrestler has died cutting weight since 1997, so I’d consider that a win. But I think that could change if we went to matside weigh ins.

Tried to look up what Daddy Fix has been up to and not much luck after a brief search. His xtwitter account still says Cowboy RTC coach, but he hasn’t posted since 2023. Random note - one of his last posts was in response to Tyler Caldwell - but apparently Caldwell’s account has been suspended for violating xtwitter rules

I noticed Derek Fix is no longer listed on the website, but not sure when that happened

It’s all coming out a year and a half ago?

I feel like this would make a lot of sense

Fair enough, I did not mean to single you out in regards to “hate,” I think several others have commented about the alleged lack of details

FWIW Pyle released one of his monologues that take 8 minutes to say something that could be said in 1 today and he said his guess was that Miller was going to Iowa State

I don’t think we need matside weigh ins. For one, IMO it seems weight cutting at least in D1 is not as bad as it used to be. Yes, many people still cut weight, but I bet it’s rare that guys are “forced” to by the coaches. But the reason people cut weight is because it is often beneficial, as long as you’re not cutting too much. So the biggest reason against matside weigh ins for me is that even with matside weigh ins, guys will still cut weight. So IMO it actually makes it more dangerous, as I wouldn’t be surprised to see someone die after wrestling a 2TB match or something. In addition, assuming you need to weigh in with shoes, shoe companies will try to make the lightest shoes possible which could sacrifice safety. After that, I think the logistics issues are legitimate. Think of how much time this would add to NCAA’s for example. Although I suppose we could get rid of overtime and go to freestyle criteria to offset it…

I see this, but you were the only comment. Doesn’t seem very official? Although looks like he also posted about Pinto and AJ before they were official, but those were not very well kept secrets

Ethen Miller hasn’t announced his destination yet has he? I thought Basch said he might do it yesterday

This would certainly seem to be a logical conclusion IMO. Looks like she has deleted her entire account now

I don’t think that was the point of it. I’d say the point was to confirm that he did actually leave and where he’s going. I don’t really get the hate for the lack of details, he shared way more than almost any other coach would have IMO

They also have an opening on the staff…maybe she is playing 4D chess so that they hire JO.

I guess he does know a thing or two about tweets being deleted. But yes, that is certainly an odd thing to say.

Deleted. What did it say?

He probably made more at OSU than as an athlete at NLWC, but he may also make more as a coach at NLWC than an athlete at NLWC. I don’t think his full salary from OSU is public though, I just looked and unless I did something wrong it was coming up as only like $20K (and DT “only” like $200K)

Not sure what “first comment” you’re referring to. She’s quoting Mike Lee and saying he’s wrong. Kelley has been very critical of libs fwiw.
