  1. I think that's an entirely acceptable age and it makes sense. Also, bad ass kid you raised.
  2. Michigan. I know so many states are different, I just thought it interesting in comparison. I have no dog in this race and I enjoy everything Bo and his group do. Big fan.
  3. You're being 'that' guy. You don't need to be 'that' guy, bro.
  4. All of my grandkids are on track to be 16 during their senior year of high school and turn 17 either during or just after, with no “skips” or “hold-backs” - except for one (out of eight) who will turn 17 in July, after his junior year. My own kids were the same: all but one (out of four) turned 17 during their senior year. The exception turned 17 in August, just before school started. It was similar in my own generation. I turned 17 in October of my senior year. My brother turned 18 in May, right after graduation, and my sister turned 17 shortly after her senior year began - basically, the same pattern. So we’re talking three different eras here, and the consistent theme is that being 19 at the start of your senior year is unusual. I realize that having 13 or 14 out of my family fall into this pattern might make us the outliers, but it still shouldn’t be strange to see 16-year-old seniors. Of the people I’ve seen first-hand, 12 out of 15 were at least 16 during their senior year. Back when I was in school, and when my kids went through, the norm seemed to be starting kindergarten at age five. That was just standard procedure - nothing odd about it. Sure, there were a few kids who were four or six in kindergarten, like my own, but five was typical. To be 19 at the start of your senior year would mean you started kindergarten at seven, which seems pretty far-fetched. I’m pretty sure there are states that wouldn’t even allow a 19-year-old to compete in high school sports their senior year. I remember when we considered moving to North Carolina around 2007, their rules (at least then) said you couldn’t be 19 years, 6 months by graduation to compete as a senior. For example, if school ended May 15, you couldn’t turn 19 before December 15. I remember this because a kid at a local school I was helping out at missed out on his senior wrestling season (and football too) because he turned 19 in November. He wasn’t held back on purpose - just started late due to life circumstances. He wasn’t some megastar; he was just a hardworking kid who happened to win state by wrestling out of his mind one weekend. I know I’m rambling, but I hope my point is clear. It’s summer. The rum is high.
  5. The last journo to ask a tough question got tea-bagged by the entire fanbase.
  6. Most don't like Bo, or Bob? The statement is technically true either way as the general public of over eight billion people don't even know who either of them are. Since they do not know him/them they cannot like him/them. That said, I don't think most people who are aware of Bo dislike him. Most people who are aware of Bob do dislike him.
  7. Is Mocco next?
  8. I imagine they were. I also imagine that compliance wasn't involved in that part of the discussion(s). Tom gave him the ole 'We gotchu brudda' fistbump.
  9. As long as it isn't the 'O' face we're all good.
  10. It's because Willie knows more than what he's saying and he is trying to find the words that will let him walk the finest of lines. He does this often in these scenarios and it is purely because he wants to give us, the fans, the most information possible without crossing any lines.
  11. Then stop spit-sucking and mouth-breathing?
  12. And not Terry for once? Wowzers.
  13. @Hammerlock3 really is harmless. You'll get used to him. Forums are to be sensationalized on.
  14. Player-Coach.
  15. Short of time atm, but there are a few accounts on Twitter to keep an eye on.
  16. This would be ample opportunity for someone young, who might be able to swing a big stick. Think a 'Michael Kemerer' or 'Hayden Hidlay' type guy. Someone who could 'slink' back and become a top assistant somewhere else, were the program to be cut.
  17. Still needs the abs. Think like Eddie Hall abs.
  18. I didn't mean at the first event. Obviously our USMNT will be focusing on World level medals (some for U23 and U20 as well - ahem PJ Duke). That said, this isn't going to be a one-and-done card, right? That would insinuate that being as Brooks and Pindrickson are both registered athletes and Brooks has gone one record saying that 97 KG is next, not 92 KG - I imagine that he will be in the UNLIMITED weight class. Hell, there are only potentially four guys who would be in the UNLIMITED right now.
