Mr. PeanutButter

10 minutes into FRL and the crew has been really keen on trying to make all the positive cases for why this might not be a case of cheating lol. No one has brought up masking agent yet. JD is the only one that has been pushing against what seems to be the company line a bit Edit: gotta pretend to do some work this morning so I won't be able to finish the episode

How cool! (Your job, not Grok's suction ability). I'mlve been debating which local LLM to run on my machine. Do you have any suggestions? I have 64gb ram, 16gb of latest gen vram, 8 core 16 thread AMD processor

Because you can bet your glazed buns this carnival ride ain't over. A few ideas: Kerk, the seemingly quiet, calm, down to earth and chill guy is actually the Scranton strangler Kasak "Beef" is actually reconstituted embryonic and placental matter - Rich in electrolytes, stem cells, and race horse grade HGH Casey Cunningham fined $250,000 in late library fees OKST forfeits all scholarships for 2 seasons cuz of recruiting violations Richie Figs discovered to be the kingpin of a massive regional poaching, illegal fishing, and unsanctioned fracking operation. A wrestler gets shot by his teammate in Iowa City, again. Spencer Lee gets popped for PEDs (anyone who has seen enough of my posts knows I'm a huge fan, but I had to pretend to be fair in starting this thread. Plus, I've been a little nervous ever since he started working with the trening, ahem, I mean, treigning, lab)

Ben is not going to believe all the crap he missed out on when he fully recovers lol. I firmly believe he wouldn't pull any "puzzy sh!t" when discussing recent events, unlike certain media personalities

I guess the 5th title should be void but if I was making the rules I'd take away the first one...

When Ono gets arrested for espionage they'll have the royal flush

Lmfao he went with the Daton Fix contaminated fridge gambit?

What do you think bro, does this make Brooks even closer to the gold medal than Spencer Lee? Feel free to post the clip of him beating Buchanan if it makes you feel better Ok ok ok now with that snide comment out of the way, serious condolences. If the shoe was on the other foot and all this crap was occurring at Iowa I'd be having a mini crisis (joking, but it would be a rough summer)

Pat seems to be digging his hand pretty deep in there

Can't see how it could possibly mean anything for him unless he was part of the group Snapchat where the nudes were circulated in. Carter famously had unkind words to say about DT so I can't imagine there are any sort of links between DT and Carter's... Situation

"Beau and Mark, a former teammate who requested anonymity due to fear of retaliation, alleged Starocci took nonconsensual explicit photos of them in the Nittany Lions’ locker room. Beau said the photos were reported to Sanderson along with the theft, but nothing came of it from the coach. “I walked out of the shower to a snapshot from (Starocci) of me, naked,” Beau said. “The team had a snapchat group chat that he filled with those kinds of pictures of teammates.”"

Why stop there? Why not chemically neuter the entire population of happy valley On second thought, there is no fate worse than being forced to subsist on nothing but cinnabons for a year

He could probably still get punched in the face for a living

In the article it is stated that Bartlett said he reported the pictures to the coaching staff. If true, is that worse than the kingpin drug ring that downed Jrob?

In light of recent events what are some prognostications on how things shake out? One or more coaches get canned? Team suspended? Onslaught of transfers out? Bill Bassett appointed new head coach? Cael out, Casey up to the head helm? Or does virtually nothing change at all?

After the house settlement, NIL is supposed to go through a Clearinghouse, no? Wouldn't that make 7 figure deal highly unlikely for a wrestler?

This is your response to the very serious news coming out of PSU, to make it about Iowa?

The only rant he'll go on is how everyone that believes this is part of the deep state/climate change gate/epstein-weinstein pedo pizza galleria I kid, I kid. I expect the response to be in line with their response to the Gilman, Snyder, and original Beau Bartlett news

I haven't used Snapchat since my whoring days but I believe messages and pictures exchanged on the app disappear after a set period of time. Still, there might be screenshots!

Maybe he'll invite the haters to perform fellatio on him and Carter in the PSU locker room this time

Wimps

Some of the stuff in that article is so disgusting and atrocious I can't even bring myself to make my usual jokes about Carter Starocci's method acting The stuff about Starocci touching Beau and other teammates inappropriately in front of Cael and co, taking nude photos of his teammates and these pictures allegedly being showed to Cael who decided to make nothing out of it is really hard to believe. I'm sorry, I don't want to make light of this situation but I just can't imagine that coaching staff would ignore things of this perverse nature

Thanks for putting this together. Surprised that not more of our reps aren't going. Are there going to be any other worthwhile tune up tournaments after this before worlds?

A small part of my post got deleted earlier so I'll be brief: I have a very strong feeling that many of the boosters, deep down, are more comfortable being a near lock at 2nd-4th (and the rare 5th) than taking a gamble on the new and unknown. I believe I read a post on HR in the past where Bob claimed he would be "done when Tom's done" so whoever the next coach is better generate an elephant's worth of eggcitement in order to keep the cash flowing

If you don't want to read the rambling paragraphs I mashed on my phone below, the "too long, didn't read" version is: I would be eggcited by a coaching staff if I was confident a realistic improvement was available. Long version: I would be onboard with a coaching change right now if there was an eggciting but realistic new option available (was eggcited by the David Taylor to Iowa rumors when they swirled around briefly) or if there was an eggsisting staff change that would guarantee equal or better results. Look, I'm not a Brands apologist. I think there are obvious deficiencies in the current staff makeup and when I look at Iowa wrestlers, even as an Iowa fan, I see weaknesses - relatively "poor" scrambling being one of them. Additionally, even though it's cool to have a long standing streak of getting wrestlers into the finals, consistently coming up short has just gotten eggstremely tiresome. I also have to say that, although I've had very positive (albeit brief) interactions with TnT, and it is encouraging to see how positively the wrestlers have spoken about the staff, particularly from this past season (but of course, not ignoring the many puzzling burned bridges from years past), the matside antics and weird post/pre match interviews are less than Gucci. I think Brands may have had his hands tied in regards to Bill Bassett's demands (if we can even believe what the pundits are putting out there as to the reason for the break up) but I can't help but think that Brands probably didn't navigate that tension with the most elegance. NOW, with that out of the way, Im just not convinced there is a REALISTIC option out there right now that could step in and practically immediately improve on results - Iowa fans and boosters will not tolerate an 8th place finish. Lots of people like to poo poo the staff (within decent reasoning) and claim others could do it better but yet somehow conveniently manage to ignore the fact that no program outside of PSU has performed consistently better than Iowa. For a minute there, it looked like Ohio State was going to be the big number 2, but, although the future looks promising, they went through a really rough patch. That won't be tolerated at Iowa. There was a lot of hype and admiration for what NC State has been doing, but then they went ahead and had the worst collapse at NCAAs that I can remember 2 years ago. That won't fly at Iowa. Even Nebraska - the future looks very bright - but prior to this past year they had even worse shortcomings and disappointments at NCAAs than Iowa and were often the butt of jokes online. So, for those calling for a change, I hear ya and I'm with ya. But who could actually step in and do better?
