Are you sure Cael isn't just protecting 159-0? With their reduced schedule many will have a tough time hitting even 100 matches unless they start all four years and don't skip a match.

Iowa is trying to improve. Oklahoma State is still trying to beat Iowa in a dual. Until they do Taylor has nothing to crow about. Tom & Co are still behind Penn State. Doubt Manning & Co at Nebraska will take 2nd this next season. Transfers & payment are the reality of today. Not taking part if a kid wants to come to your school & is talented enough to compete seems stupid. Before the current system Schools would let a kid come even nowing they would sit a year. No matter how often NCAA brass insisted "you commit to a school" we all know athletes commit to a coach & staff. Finally kids have more of a choice, with the downside for many schools being they basically have to re-recruit their own athletes every year. More power to Iowa if this helps them be more competitive.

I believe Mark wised up and got out of the Cult.

Olympic weights need to be the same as at the World Championships. No need for more, especially with the attitude of those in charge of Olympic events.

He will be announcing the KOT-kat kitten shaped chocolate bar.

When statistics show the majority of Professional Athletes have serious financial problems within a few years after retirement - they need solid financial advice. Attending a University and getting paid for it the schools need to provide solid support in the way of financial counseling. Not doing so pretty well assures one or more of those who hit the financial skids later will blame the school and an enterprising lawyer will file suit against the institution for them. As an example, Vince Young earned around $26 million in six seasons playing professional football. Young trusted the wrong financial planner who reportedly misappropriated $5.5 million of his money. Because of this and poor spending habits, Young was forced to file bankruptcy. Baseball great Curt Schilling saw a future in video games and spent $50 million in creating his own company, 38 Studios. Fast forward a couple years. 38 Studios filed bankruptcy, and Schilling is out his $50 million investment. Big earnings early without sound business advice and planning leads to problems.

I'm not the one who is having folks arrested and deported without due process.

Why not? AFter all, it was the Rump who said Ukraine started the war. It is the Rump who seems to make good friends of dictators. If Satiev is dead it is a sad day for wrestling. He was one excellent wrestler.

Not "anti" - just think it is foolish. The Christial stuff especially. Still can't find one thing written about Jesus when the guy was supposedly alive. Then, the "one God" and "three in one" stuff. If the 10 commandments say "no other gods before me" there must be other Gods - right? Not to mention the Don't Covet OK's slavery. Go ahead, read it in the scripture, not the abbreviated version. Religion is crutch for those who can't face life. Meaningless rituals and organizations that preach one thing and practice another - like both the Catholics and Mormons who protect child molesters.

A lot of College athletes are now being paid. Some Millions of $$$. Do the schools now have tax and financial advisors to help them avoid tax complications? If not, are the schools liable in some way when the kid goes broke? Do they now have to declare themselves Professional Athletes? With the money do they have to declare room & board, tuition paid and such as income? Looks like a whole new set of problems.

Didn't even notice. Touch typing & I'm losing my touch...

Some bigger conspiracy. Like Cael, a guy who doesn't drink Coffee is running some big roid ring for his Wrestlers and scheduling competition around it? Seems...a bit silly. -------------------- Coffee, tea & booze are forbidden with the Mormon Word of Wisdom., the "revelation" that says doing so is advisable so you will "run and not be weary and walk and not faint". It also says "eat meat sparingly, only in times of cold and famine" - yet every Mormon I know scarfs the burgers & steaks every chance they get. Selective beliefs.

Oklahoma State, Iowa, Penn State. The big dogs with a few others maybe fitting in as they won a number of titles before Iowa found the formula. A few others in the mix but not dynasty teams. Good & occasionally great but not sustainable. Oklahoma and Iowa State are two of those. Good and won a number of titles but not like OSU, Iowa and now Penn State. OSU did it with different coaches through the decades. Iowa was Gable & a few runs after he retired. Penn State is the big dog now. When you are winning you attract wrestlers who want to be part of the magic. Wrestlers who want to compete at the highest levels. A number of them who want to wresle for "The Coach" - and it perpetuates itself, at least for a time. No matter the Coach and team no one gets all the top guys. The coaches of these teams somehow have kids who wrestle to their potential. who buy into the system and work for it - for some reason moreso than at other schools. This year Penn State underperformed and still set a scoring record - breaking the one they set last year. At one point Iowa under Dan Gable won nine titles in a row. What is it that has these schools so dominant for so long?

Not under UberTrump, the Orange Menace.

Hope not. "Olympic Redshirt"? Did he even wrestle in the trials? Tough wrestler but a third class dipshiz.
