  1. The way I’ve understood it is Freestyle and Folkstyle in America developed from “Catch” Wrestling that was brought over and very much preferred by British and Irish settlers/immigrants back in the day. And then we basically did nothing with Greco for 100+ years…we didn’t even participate in the Olympics for Greco until the 50’s. Not to say we’re still the new guys BUT compared to other countries the history, culture and support for it just isn’t there in America…
  2. It’s crazy to think how many of these guys squeeze a weight class or two more out for the college level…there is NO way I could have done that coming out of high school 24+ years ago. I know a lot of strides have been made to limit the weight cuts since then though.
  3. I wouldn’t even engage it…I’m not sure what the exact procedure is for getting someone suspended but if you feel strong enough about it I’d just report it’s as “abusive” in the drop down and move on. 90%+ of the time it’s unprovoked (like this one) and at the rate he does it/interacts with other users it’s bad for the board.
  4. I don’t know about other people but I tend to like him. I also like watching football highlights with radio commentary or baseball games on the radio just because a broadcaster has a nostalgic like voice…
  5. I actually went and looked up the curriculum for it on the colleges website before posting that…I stand by my comment…lol
  6. These guys always did have good matches…
  7. That has to be up there as one of the most useless degrees you could obtain…at least he didn’t pay for it…
  8. Yes…and very much so into apologetics. Not sure why you’re trying to talk down to others, especially when you don’t know their baseline, but it’s a bit off putting. It’s a big reason people push back against the faith…we clearly have different approaches to how we apply our faith to our daily interactions. I’m fine with athletes giving thanks and crediting God in post event interviews…I’ll just leave it at that.
  9. I’m not above being wrong by any means but that is how I took some of the comments. I could have have read something wrong…just seemed like there were a lot of assumptions on individuals intent or where their hearts are (which we obviously can’t know), which order they should address God if they’re going to or pointing to scripture without context to say it’s wrong to say anything publicly.
  10. Solid ankle pick…but that 360 has to win?
  11. I’m more blown away that we have Christians rebuking other Christians for giving thanks to God and/or doing it before coaches, family, friends etc… We have absolutely no idea what’s on these guys/girls hearts in the moment. But telling genuinely well meaning people (because they’re out there) as Christians to keep their faith at home is crazy….
  12. Correct…public prayer and glorification is not fine if it intended to be boastful/prideful. I’ve read them…I also understand the context behind them. There’s nothing wrong with them proclaiming the good news publicly if the intentions are righteous…
  13. True but I’d probably like the Private more lol
  14. Trying to be all social media savvy…they ain’t no Stilly Boys!
  15. Now now now…those are all clowns like us. Only real fans know there’s nothing to see hear, nothings ever happened in any situation AND those who don’t believe so are just jealous haters wanting to see us fall
  16. Nah, I just wouldn’t remotely compare the two…Kyle is something all on his own…
  17. He’s been called worse probably
  18. It is. I spent some time up there as a teenager. Peaceful for sure.
  19. Just stacking bad takes here…
