Individually, none of these charges are a big deal. It seems way worse when it is a list. Four hand guns? In Texas, that would be called a good start. But, it is nice balance so far. Reciprocity rules used to be quite daunting, but have been getting much easier to understand. Vape pen? Oh my, crime of the century. Now, driving under the influence is a problem, but I don't think that was one of the charges. Registration expired, another major crime. When I moved to State College, all I had for almost two years was a worn out paper saying I had a valid SC drives license, which I had lost at some point prior. When I finally went to get a PA drivers license at some rural outpost (early 80's), Officer Friend didn't take kindly to me not having done it earlier. He then gave me my exam orally. He asked me crazy questions off the top of his head like maximum weight for a class C commercial license. I failed and he handed me a book to study for the next attempt. Learned my lesson, but I didn't do any jail time. I hope it turns into a nothing burger.

You should watch his wrestling camp parody, where he teaches kids how to stall and only score enough points to win. He gets real coaches to play along. It's hilarious. edit: found it. Stall Camp

Just spitballing here. PSU fires Cael. Iowa brass can now hire the only active coach more successful than Brands, thereby satisfying all those calling for change at Iowa. Now tOSU alums who have been calling for the firing of Ryan can now hire Brands, the only active available coach with more national championships than Ryan. In order to start fresh with a clean break, PSU hires first time head coach Jordan Burroughs, who will receive a standing ovation when he enters Rec Hall. Finally, the poles with complete the flip from North to South.

Wow. I was referencing access to a University facility, hence the distinction between PSU student vs. non-PSU student. Regardless, it can't be statutory rape at age 17. She's accusing him of rape.

Someone had questioned the weight loss drugs being used to cut weight. The issue preventing its adoption for wrestlers was the side effect of muscle loss for GLP-1 drugs. Looks like it won't be long before that barrier is gone. New Oral Drug - Weight Loss Without Muscle Loss Having been in the drug business, it is really difficult to predict long term effects. This has long term cardiovascular effects written all over it. Edit: Added clarification. They are in Phase 1 trials, so it's still years away.

Oh, I thought she was a PSU student. Man, he's making AJ look like a saint by comparison.

The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall Trivia

So the thread does involve Starocci, indirectly. If not for the Starocci injury, Lewis would not have been the #1 seed in 2024. -
Is there a rule or law against minors in the sauna or locker room? The "crime" is what happens to the minors, #4. She was 17. I was 17 as a freshman. I'm pretty sure I could go in the locker room.

Beware the appeal of coaching change. It happens in all sports. Ryan was added to the conversation because it is the same situation. You have the last two coaches to win national championships, but with no clear path to another despite consistent top 5 finishes. With Brands, you see have seen a pattern of underachievement in recruiting. You need to recruit an average of 3 blue chippers every year and it has been lacking. He has very successfully filled the void with transfers, thanks to a nice war chest of NIL money. Penn State was no different. They had one star recruit, Haines, a few years ago. They filled some holes with transfers, then filled it back up with the last few years. This year was the going to be the uptick for Iowa. They have DeLuca, Luddington, Ferrari. They were getting Bassett and Mocco. They were the favorite for the twins. Now they have lost Bassett and the twins went to OSU. "Fire the coach!!!!!!" Will Pittsburgh fire Tomlin? The Dallas Stars fired their coach. The Knicks fired their coach. Lots of successful coaches get fired while they look for the one that can take them to the championship. The problem is always the same. The next coach is 95% likely to be no better and probably worse than the one you fired. But, if the championship trophy is all you care about, you take the shot. Choose wisely. There were a lot of coaches and losses in between Bear Bryant and Nick Saban.

1. Theft - Cael knew and it was passed along to University Park police, who have jurisdiction over the crime. 2. Inappropriate actions on the mat - We don't know what, if anything, was reported to coaches, whether it was addressed by coaches, whether it was condoned or continued, or stopped. It will come out. 3. Photos on Group Chat - See above. 4. Sexual assault - the most serious of issues. It is unclear if the accusations were reported to anyone. It clearly wasn't reported to law enforcement, or they would have been obligated to open a case file on it. One thing that is missing from the reporting is the timeline of each step of the above events, and the timeline of awareness and response by staff. You pose the right questions, but the order is wrong. Will we get the facts, or not? If yes, we can answer the other questions.

It's more difficult now that BB became available after signing AJ. It also gets complicated in that Nebraska is known to take care of the ones that are already there, so there is little to no NIL money left for immediate use. I think they have now reversed and said they think it will NOT be PSU, although they think OSU isn't a good fit. It seems like even with the new NIL rules, it's going to be easy for people to cheat. They just need one of Buffet's Berskshire Hathaway guys that loves Nebraska wrestling, or maybe Larry the Cable Guy can help, or is he just a football fan.

Agreed. Let's do an Occam's Razor: Carter takes snaps. Carter posts on a group Snap-Chat. Beau tells Cael. Cael goes to Carter and says, "WTF, delete the Chat, delete the photos, that s*** can destroy your life." Carter complies. Nothing else is done by Cael, no more photos are take or posted. Fire Cael?

Carter Starocci faces allegations of sexual assault and theft
GV4444 replied to VakAttack's topic in College Wrestling
Wow, I read a couple of pages of comments, then went back and read the article. I expected the article to be way more damning, especially of Cael. While a fan of Penn State, I was never a big fan of Starocci. He was always a bit too much, a la AJ. What is amazing is the level of Schadenfreude on this forum, including the Iowa/Bo Bassett divorce. I imagine Caveira to be a guy who sits at his computer, types a comment, then does a little dance around the basement, then back to keyboard to write another troll post about the Penn State situation. Let me know when he hits 100 posts on the subject. Another observation is all the comments about wrestlers and their proclamations of their faith. Lots of schadenfreude every time one of them has a failure. But, I never thought Straocci was one of those guys of faith. Like AJ, it would seem more like a facade, whereas Kirk was far more genuine and quiet about it. Cael isn't outspoken about it either, maybe because Mormonism isn't quite the same. So, Starocci was one of those guys. It's pretty common in high school and even in college. Cocky a-hole that does s*** that he thinks is funny or cool and people and teammates put up with, even pretend to like the stuff they do. I remember being a lowly sophomore running back on the varsity team and feeling this warm water hitting my leg in the big group shower area. It was the all-conference lineman peeing on my leg, laughing the whole time. That crap has been going on for a hundred years. (Ironically, we were friends later while on the wrestling team) At this point in time, he has been found guilty of nothing, charged with nothing. He is accused of something or things. As for Cael, it is easy to second guess his inaction, but I'm not really sure it's reasonable to expect him to have done much else. We will know more later. -
I gave. Who's going to match me?

Someone post the link to donate to his medical fund and maybe pin it. I bought my tee shirt.
