Munaretto isn’t seeded and in the finals…which doesn’t surprise me but he’s a good first world problem for the Buckeyes. Xander Myers (also Ohio State) was unseeded and knocked off the #2 and #3 seed to get to the finals. Thats really the major story lines across all the teams. Tournament has basically played out how you’d expect it…

The Dom vs Kilkeary match is going to be fire, both looking great Fielding can take Nogle…he’s squeezing past everyone. That 1-0 match against Karson Brown though…come one man. Shaws winning the finals… Cannon will Cannon…I’d be surprised if it’s not a TF… Stiles looks like he’s adjusting to the weight OK but he’s in for a tough one in the finals Smith played it a little to close with King…he can’t do that against Espinoza-Owens Good tournament for Mize…we’ll see in the finals? Ryder all day every day Kuhn pinning his way to the finals against Feldman…

I thought there was rumor or beliefs this off season that Jax might bump up as he grows…can he get lower?

If it makes you feel better we agree almost 100% on Kyle Snyder’s actions…I think you’re upset like he’s not being held accountable but that’s not our role. No one excuses it either but the whole situation is beyond us and between others.

Now you’re talking the trinity…so… Sure they do…lots of non believers feel they can speak on it

You just answered your own retort…

Agh I see what your trying to say and I’m glad you brought up Jews…Jews agree it’s from God or divinely inspired whether Moses scribed it (Orthodox) or it was orally and physically written over time (Reformed). But you are correct that traditions can carry on throughout generations of non-Christians…like the Jews (and others). There is a lot of historical data out there that points to Jesus and God across all major religions…whether it’s been altered by those cultures or not is another discussion but origins is what we’re talking about. The main point is a lot of religions hyperfocus on traditions and to a degree that’s fine but it is not a substitution for God or the good news. You seem like a smart dude, and I do appreciate the conversation, but tell me how a man who does not believe in God can hold a reasonable and unbiased opinion on what a relationship with God is, how it should look or most importantly what it feels like?

“Well if we’re getting biblical”…uhh what? You mentioned Christians…of course it goes biblical. Mary and Joseph were not married at the time of Jesus conception…there’s a beautiful message in there with Joseph’s obedience and trust in God to follow through with marrying Mary during those times specifically. That first statement is not clear at all…apparently an atheist philosopher, key word atheist, said something not about morality but you’re trying to tie it into the conversation? The claim is Christianity/God are the foundation of moral standard. You’re insistence on using transcendent, transcendence, imminence or whatever word you use next to try and feel enlightened has little to do with morality and more to do with oneself. You’re trusting in your subjective beliefs, “good” works and all things you to take you where you want to go after this life, if anywhere. I’m just telling you you’re not getting those universally agreed upon beliefs of good and bad from no where…certainly not yourself. Men would destroy everything if left to their own devices… Where did the Jews get their law?

You’re speaking of “Universal Conscience” which is the capacity for deep moral reasoning and a sense of right and wrong across diverse societies. Theres also a difference between Subjective and Objective morality. What’s more plausible, that the vast majority of the roughly 8.3 billion people (that’s wild to think of in scope by the way) came to the same conclusion that adultery is really bad despite human nature of wanting to have sex with as many beautiful people as possible OR that through the centuries we’ve adopted values stressed on us through biblical teachings and we are viewed as reflections of being created in God's image ("imago Dei"). (Or at least strive to be) People take it too personal when they say people outside the Christian faith can’t make decisions we feel are just and right BUT like I said…where’d you get that barometer of just and right? Directly or indirectly it’s all through God.

You mean context…the fact that you say “excuse” shows exactly what level you’re at…

Well yea…if you lift a load off center or extend too much with it based off your capabilities you’re going to have a bad day…

I think you’re making this race stuff a way bigger deal than it is or needs to be…

There are a lot of things I didn’t think could be said on the platform BUT as far as I can tell there is no Commenting Policy like other boards so…

Oh I know but you know…I tried to be mature and all that…

(7) PSU guys were ranked 1…32/33rd have to go through the 1…that’s you know…factual. They should win if they were seeded randomly…I agree. It’s extremely juvenile to be so offended when someone says half didn’t place where they were seeded. It’s OK…imagine if they did…I think that’d be cool to see too. Some “fan” bases man…

Didn’t you……

Well now that’s some goal post shifting… You won’t get any arguments from me about TR…I’m pretty realistic

You mean (7) PSU guys wrestle the EXACT Same bracket while the other three shoot for an “upset” then have the easiest path…yea that’s real bold. I don’t think you even thought that one through lol

If it’s you it’s me too…

The “Scoreboard” argument is surface level…that’s the point of what we’re talking about. Their seeding puts them in a position to face the easiest paths to the finals and accumulate the most bonus points. They ran into problems late and half the roster finished below their seeding. It’d be interesting to see a simulation for the brackets with the final seeds…would have won either way I’m sure. Such a touchy group…we know you guys are great it’s ok

He put 17 up on him…there’s no running that one back right away

It’s like the Haskins video when he was a kid visiting Ohio State…awesome to see years later when things come together
