his boss seems to approve: ”I think it’s a great thing any time that we can put the brand of the program out in the wrestling world,” OSU athletic director Chad Weiberg said in a statement. “For our team here to see him competing and doing the things to get ready to compete, it only makes what’s happening in our room better.”

FWIW I’m more annoyed by people complaining about Bassett than I am by Bassett himself. The only time I ever see Bassett stuff is on this forum.

Yeah man. Right now I have two video pop ups stacked, a banner ad at the bottom, and the border of my phone screen is breathing in and out with not an ad but just a teal color. This is peak “you’ve been hacked in 2002” internet experience right here.

You all are saying some weird stuff. If I say Buchanan got 50 million dollars to transfer, it’s not on you to prove that I’m wrong. It’s on me to cite my source for my claim so others can vet the info.

I like this. It should be transparent especially for state institutions where salaries and scholarships are public knowledge so NIL payments should be too. NIL should also require some kind of name and likeness work be done. Also one for time for the people in the back, 500k isn't confirmed so that postulation ain't worth jack, and there's a big difference between a cash payment and a combination of tuition/board/books/incentives/post-grad opportunities. Again this is where the details of NIL should be public knowledge or it needs to be reformed to be more equitable like having one NIL fund per roster that gets distributed equally among that roster.

Grandstanding is fun.

Thanks

I looked and these seem to be articles not forums. Am I missing something?

Ahahahahaha I thought it was a great read.

This is one of the more thoughtful things I’ve read on here. Thanks! What a mess lol. Or not… time will tell

Maybe they changed something because on the phone this morning I have two pop ups going simultaneously on every page instead of one! That’s progress right? If I leave those open and scroll a bit I can get a third ad too for ads on 60% of my screen.

I’m just glad to see that AJ will continue to get daily attention here. He needs it or his deadlift numbers may to deflate.

Awww. Back when he was semi normal. I remember those days.

Brave Browser on my PC doesn't have any annoying ads. So for me it seems that the problem is on the mobile browser.

I think I’m going to leave the site for a while and check back in. I haven’t been this bombarded by ads since the days before ad blockers. This site is supposed to be fun dangit lol. Hope my couple of reports are helpful.

Two more examples of ads interfering with basic functionality. Both are versions of “ads blocking reply button”. See screenshots.

I read it as “adds an insane wrestler”

Same. Transitions can be tough so I can wait a bit. But I also will go elsewhere for wrestling chat if coming here means pop ups and animated banner ads every dang page. And yes, installing ad blocking software defeats the purpose of having ads so that’s not a good solution either.

iPhone, Safari. In-thread ads every 4 posts or so, pop up ads every time I change pages, header ads appear and disappear whenever I scroll down, footer ads do the same. Sometimes the header/footer ads will show up and then change to a new ad which is pretty jarring. in my view, static (non moving) ads are way less annoying than pop ups and disappearing/reappearing ones. Also ads with animation are pretty annoying too.

Makes some sense. Leg laces are still showing some control. But exposing your opponents back is certainly harder than hand to hand spins. Thanks for putting terms to the different results.

Good example here of why leg lace techs are the goofiest thing to me about freestyle. Mocco still gets points even when his opponent is basically getting spun around while upright, rather than getting his back exposed. Not that my opinion matters but leg laces appear to be the easiest way to turn an opponent. I certainly see more leg laces by quantity than guts or literally any turn in folkstyle. This is where I'm curious what athletes think about it rather than assuming I know from watching.

I am biased against sports that aren’t wrestling

Amazing lol “My college can beat up your college”

My post was tongue in cheek. I just think it’s fun to watch people armchair reform the entire sport.

Hahahahaha I wondered if someone would point this out. Personally I like to think that the U17 team read the threads here and wanted to impress people.
