I’m always curious what you’re asking these questions for Jimmy. It sounds like you’re researching for something.

I don’t think Bo’s attention seeking moves the needle much. Pro wrestling has everybody on board with the storylines, whereas Bo mostly just complains by himself. I have a hard time seeing anyone get into the sport because of some Jerry Springer drama coming from a retired wrestler. Who knows though

Teague Moore and Eric Guerrero were pretty awesome back to back. First two weights of the dual too

Sounds like something a Woke Marxist Trumpster Nazi hell bent on destroying my way of life would say I’m joking, but that's where our society is at regarding discourse.

Hustling! Reminds me of the musician life - do what jobs you can that fit a hectic schedule so you can hone your craft and take shots at greatness.

Brands hires John Smith who comes out of retirement to run the Iowa RTC

Thanks. Spread the reasonableness with me.

Governance is boring, but crucial to a society that wants to function at a high level. Trouble is American political rhetoric has become so heated that nobody can have a normal conversation about these common interests. How can you talk about the very boring but very important topics of road maintenance, park hours, water treatment practices, social programs etc when the Evil Other Side is actively trying to ruin the country forever? Our congresspeople have completely duped the public into thinking they're some kind of saviors, when the data itself shows that there's not much difference between Republican and Democrat administrations. By and large the economy grows, the debt grows, unemployment goes up and down, etc. It's a shame because if enough folks stopped fighting these emotional imaginary battles then they could pressure the electeds to fight real battles like paying off the national debt, combatting predatory healthcare practices, keeping inflation and cost of living down, ensuring cybersecurity, deterring WWIII, etc Anyways thats my soapbox lol

Thanks! I made a post. It's up now! Bumping for you to know as well

Yeah, I think the offseason will be slow on the forum and hopefully they'll have it together by the start of the college season. I can see a lot of folks checking back in around then to see if it's available. Can you still post? Maybe tell people to come here and we can have a mini-forum for the time being?

"Can anybody go to a website for me?" Lol the old Iowa forum URL literally takes you to the new forum

They do police what universities are allowed to do. They do not police an individual athlete receiving however much money for doing a thing.

Investigating this morning. I made a free account and posted on PSU and Iowas boards. OSUs board is still locked up. Supposedly that'll change soon?

Yeah I'm tempted to get the cheapo week subscription just to see what folks are talking about and potentially set a rally point here. But then that'll only be visible to other paying posters. We really should have done a better job before the switch. Interestingly, PSU wrestling forum is not behind the paywall. Iowa wrestling one looks like it is, but I made a free account and can now see the content and post on both. OSU wrestling forum is still locked up though. I'll post on those couple of boards to see if I find anything out.

I’m still holding out for the free version. Has there been any word on that? I see threads but can’t view them obviously. Definitely miss the forum, lol… will probably end up paying for it which is lame but if there’s no other option I guess that’ll be the option. Unless folks defect from On3 en masse and come here?

No revenue share for OU wrestling? How does this affect guys on their roster vs other rosters where they do revenue share? I should read up on it, most of what I’ve seen is related to football.

I read that On3 would be going to non-premium in a few days. Guess we’ll see! I’ll miss the old forum. But times are a-changing.

Journalists go after the stories, often to a fault. The Flo guys are paid off, nervous, and/or unqualified for these Penn State screwups. Or their bosses are. This isn’t the normal content.

I liked your joke and was bummed you didn’t get more kudos This offseason plus the grey area violations of Cael’s early days at PSU would make firings and sanctions inevitable in a revenue sport.

Iowa elicits a lot of feelings from both fans and non-fans, lol. It's kind of a funny characteristic for our sport. I enjoy watching the drama but don't care what happens to Iowa beyond wishing the Brands Bros weren't such emotional turds matside.

So many universities can barely help their alumni find a job. They try, but IME are generally disconnected from the professional world outside of academia. I'd be surprised to see real world financial counseling in athletics programs beyond "save everything you can"

I thought it was the lady that wrote the Ferrari --> UNC piece. Folks sure swarmed her

Exactly. It’s all deflection and it’s Iowas fault. Ok, whatever little bro. Entitlement is fine but don’t package it like you’re some kind of victim.

You are amazingly consistent with these threads. Bravo
