Not under UberTrump, the Orange Menace.

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

Yep..., Christian Forgiveness? Is you concept of God that he is "Christian"? Or just a mean old bastard who was so pissed off at his creation that he drowned all of them but Noah & his closest relatives & friends? Sure sounds "forgiving" to me.

Yep, the Jesus solution. Millstone around the neck and drop the child molester in the sea. Most protect abusers because so many of them live with this scum, live next door to them and work with them - yet never, ever lift a hand to protect the kids. As for "political" - the topic itself raises the subject. Sammy is the victim of this criminal and no matter the punishment will never, ever be made whole again. So, what is "just punishment"? Go after the legal establishment that did not lock this scrote up when he was in trouble before?

Boxing weigt cutting is big. Much like wrestling in that regard. Weight is even a big deal in Formula 1 racing. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/explained-why-hamilton-leclerc-and-gasly-were-all-disqualified-from-the.nsIhJiryzl2pV3OAzyWrm George Russel was stripped of a win because his car came in under the minimum weight.

Yep, "Christian Values"..., right? So many for the death penalty are anti-abortion. Those who commit crimes should be jailed every time? Donald Trump, anyone? He was convicted of more felonies than Al Capone and Bernie Madoff combined.

Maybe recruiting is hurt because of the movie telling younger kids the program was cut and then brought back? They are afraid it will be cut again, for good.(I KNOW the movie was way wrong in this)

Are you referring to the Orange Peril in the White House? Don't you realize the J middle initial stands for jenius?

The real reason is Stanford promised him Surfing lessons and his own free surfboards.

I think I remember it being five times. Either way it was shameful. Mainly because a racist coach wanted Gable in place of Bobby. So, he forced wrestle offs over and over and over again. May well have contributed to Bobby not placing higher - wrestling the young Gable was a meat grinder. The Dan Gable we remember from International competition was more seasoned and a real killer in 1972. Bobby wasn't beating him then. The Russians weren't either. The story of them scouring the land looking for anyone who could beat him are true.

He has lost a half step and isn't dominating top competition any longer. When it is time he will retire. Until then, more power to him. Keep going as long as he wants and can beat others to qualify. Do wish Cael & Co could get him to smooth out a touch and get at least two newer moves in the mix.

So much foolishness about someone who is a myth.

Good luck to him. Will be nice to see him not hampered by injuries.

He is coasting. He didn't try Worlds after the Olympics because he knew he probably wouldn't do the miracle finish again. That was when he was in wrestling shape. Not as he is now. He can hang it up and fart around with the 'rassl'n clown show. He is done with the real thing.

Dan Gable may be slighted by many who are younger. Those of us who were there know the reality. The Russians were scared of Gable. The story of them scouring the land for someone, anyone - to beat him are true. He dominated. A grinder on the mat - he ground the competition into it with unrelenting arm bars that would numb the shoulder. He punished opponents. He had a major effect on his fellow wrestlers and many of them credit him for helping them improve. He had a short international career. Many on those days faced that reality. Hard to make a living as a competitor in the US. For sheer domination we have not seen anyone at that level since he retired.

Ono won't be at Penn State. The Orange Peril will have ICE pick him up and deport him - since the Prez is now an OSU fan after watching the Airman beat the big bad heavyweight. All the schools with immigrant/foreign wrestlers had better watch out. OSU is lucky Amine is not eligible this year or they might find themselves with him being deported during a lung time out in a match.

Maybe they didn't recruit? If he showed interest, in the climate today they would tell him "This is the Dollar package available". Not necessarily recruiting. More like reality with NIL and paying athletes. After college most wrestlers will never get another dime for their efforts.

Here it is. Bono has lined up the dollars & we know Wisconsin is desperate. The youngest won't come(yet) but the next one will. Double Ferraris in the garage - and Bono looks like a Genius.(as long as he doesn't let AJ drive a car)

He ought to nail your azz to the wall for libel and defamation of Character. Putting crap like this in writing - you deserve it.

Is that better than referring to him as a Richard Head?

Why not, the Bible Selling charlatan and serial liar Donald Trump is playing that game.

Watching him this year was nice. He did not have the size to match some opponents but his technique and hustle won a lot of matches. Will he drop? Should he drop? Or, will he spend time bulking up a bit while trying to keep his speed and endurance? He is still a growing boy so maybe he matures into the weight? Either way he looks like a definite threat to win it all.

There isn't one. Not now. Maybe in the future? The Squawkeyes can only hope.

Will they start with Meyer Shapiro?

He has always seemed like a good coach who really cares about his kids. Works hard for them. A tireless promoter for his team and school. When it is finally time to go I hope he knows it and doesn't hang on like Bucky Maughan at NDSU.
