  1. Few schools will be funding 30 scholarships for wrestling. Limiting the numbers in the room to 30(if I understand this correctly) can only hurt some programs. Weight specific sports like wrestling are much more difficult to manage to field a full team. We are more likely so see a talented walk on show up to make a roster than a lot of other sports. Why limit the number who can be in the room? This is like the NCAA limiting the total number of Football players at team could have. Hurt schools like Nebraska that often had more than double some of the teams they played.
  2. Does this mean Dake can finally win a fantasy match? We know he has lost more than 400 times to David Taylor. Maybe he wins against Sidakov?
  3. How do they enforce fines? They are not a court. Don't have subpoenas and abstracts of Judment to file leins on these guys stuff.
  4. With Spud he can sign up to advertise IDAHO SPUD candy bars.
  5. How will they actually enforce it? This one will be another 'full employment of lawyers' thing.
  6. Let's call him Spud. A good nickname for Taylor.
  7. No, Iowa is not there and the coaches are not Stupid, but challenged - especially when compared to Cael. Pointing out and discussing Reality and "hating" are not the same thing. Your mind is malfunctioning - maybe due to Cliimate change or the Ozone Layer or too much lusting after Marie Osmond?
  8. Raising questions is not "hating". Iowa has had a great program thanks to Gary Kurdlemeier and Dan Gable. Jim Zalesky was not Gable and it showed. The Terrible Two are not Gable, but closer than Zalesky. Watching a once great program slowly sink is not pretty. More so when the coaches don't seem to have a clue.
  9. What do I have to add to what I originally posted? Iowa is not doing well - compared to expectations. Grinder U is what they look like. A coaching staff that is challenged when they have talented kids who need development to hone and improve what is already a winning style. Instead they get "beat your head against the wall" leadership. If this kid goes to Iowa he may do well but won't really progress past what he is because the coaching staff can't do the job to raise his level.
  10. Will it be a repeat of Spencer Lee? Top guy who was given all the attention in the world, got injured and still performed until he fell short his final season? In many ways viewed as a Prima Donna and a divisive presence in the room - no matter how good he was on the mat. Bassett is good and Iowa would benefit. But, can the Double Trouble twins actually help him raise his game? Or will they train him into the mat, wear him out and put all their marbles in one guy at the expense of the team? Spencer Lee was excellent, no doubt about it. Iowa did him no favors as they did not surround him with similar talent. They tried but couldn't get the top guys in the room. If Bassett shows up will it be more of the same?
  11. Two Big Dogs who claimed IOWA to be the promised land. Got all the Squawkeye faithful exclted and bragging before anything even happened. Downey on the way to his 14 PhD's at the School and Ferrari rar'n to go for three more NCAA Titles and annual payments in the Millions of $$$. Both screwed up bigger than buffalo Shiz on the dining room table. Who's the biggest loser? (between them, IOWA for sure, but not in this context)
  12. Hamas rains over 600 milliles on them and you don't want them to respond? Dumber than a Mormon!
  13. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/06/trump-project-2025-robert-reich Amazing what a rapist can plan, isn't it? Sexual predator for Prez - and some of you like it.
  14. Anyone who keeps getting younger needs an asterisk. Anyone who wins so much on the mat against David Taylor but has never, ever won a fantasy match against him needs and asterisk. In fact, give him two..., maybe a half dozen if you want.
  15. Yojo Uetake was excellence on the mat. After his college career ended he was a Grad Assistant at OSU. I know from friends back then he would get frustrated as the wrestlers could not keep up with him doing his workout and warmup routines. Anyone have video of him doing these they can share?
  16. ? What are you referring to, you hemorrhoids?
  17. If he is going to stay he would be foolish if he does not make contact with John Smith and get the benefit of his knowledge. Work with that as well as Taylor and see if he can push to the next level.
  18. The shove constituted an Assault. After that it is only a matter of degree which will involve prosecution deciding what level to pursue. Nail the jerk to the wall, he deserves it.
  19. I have Cael as the top guy. Mainly because I watch and follow D1 wrestling. I see some programs at the lower levels have coaches with amazing records. At various levels we have excellent coaches and some who do more with a room full of kids that are not the top recruits in the land. Who do you have, for top 5 or so?
  20. Within 100 miles of the Border you have the Border Patrol with full power to stop and detain and arrest anyone. What I posted can happen does with some of these guys. Just because it does not happen to you doesn't mean it is not happening. It is like driving through Utah and getting stopped and the cop thinks the money you have "must have come from drug sales" so he confiscates everything. Months to years to maybe get some or all back. Meanwhile, you are out a vehicle and all that was in it, dollars to your ID and credit cards. This stuff happens.
  21. How needs "original thoughts" when direct quotes of The Rump himself are so damning. A man of low morals, lacking integrity.
  22. Will be AJ Ferrari. Brings his brother to the team & his Father as the ethics coach with the rest of the family as cheerleaders. Except the one going to Iowa.
  23. https://newrepublic.com/post/174448/judge-e-jean-carroll-case-yes-donald-trump-rapist It is a matter of Character. Not being one but showing a lack of.
  24. What, selling tornado proof trailers?
  25. You can laugh. It happens and is pretty harsh for those who find out how much it costs them even when the arrest is not followed up with prosecution. A lot like Jaywalking laws - all it takes is the wrong cop on the wrong day.
