Iowa's plan for when the Brands retire?
AgaveMaria replied to Tripnsweep's topic in College Wrestling
Numbers would change if the years of 3, 5 and then 6 All Americans were changed to the current eight. -
:Don't forget Bob maybe able to pull some strings & throw some cash and get AJ back. Yes 3 Ferrari 🏎 in the lineup its a slam duck for Iowa and we'll be talking about who replaces Cael." ---------------------- Will history repeat? Cael spent 3 seasons at ISU & then moved to Penn State. Taylor is in his first season at OSU...

Iowa's plan for when the Brands retire?
AgaveMaria replied to Tripnsweep's topic in College Wrestling
Simple. John Smith was that old "you kids get off my damn lawn" guy. He looked tired and short tempered. It was time to retire and it showed. He was great, but the job was wearing on him, hard. John came in with 6 world titles as an OSU wrestler. Taylor comes in with World Titles and is not an OSU wrestler. Maybe it was time to move on and Taylor seemed the best fit, with his history & coming from a winning program and the top College coach today. He obviously presented well to the search committee & bosses. Hope he works out. -
Yep, come from a family of alcoholics. Buried too many who died from it. Travels & exposure to other cultures where it is normal - even if not for me - shows it can be done OK. They do have their alcoholics but aren't the US type/hardshell baptist mentality. After all, if you have a small glass of wine with grandma and parents with a meal it is normal and sneaking out to drink isn't such an attraction. So, moderation and exposure to it compared to total ban?

Reading where Taylor has OSU now as a "Dry Program". No booze allowed? European background friends are used to wine with meals. They grew up with it and see this as normal - not drinking alcoholic beverages as rebellion. Most I know are fine with it and don't have the "demon rum" attitude - which seems to be a US thing. Any actual statistics showing one approach is more successful than another?

Iowa's plan for when the Brands retire?
AgaveMaria replied to Tripnsweep's topic in College Wrestling
David Taylor was never an option for Iowa. He is outside the family. They want someone steeped in Iowa culture, preferrably of the Gable stable. Iowa is not ready for a complete culture change. That is what they got with Gary Kurelemeier & Dan Gable & they will ride that horse into the ground and never, ever admit it is not winning. -
College headgear worn by high schoolers
AgaveMaria replied to BigRedFan's topic in College Wrestling
Wishful thinking on the part of some of these kids. Just like their wrestling shoes. -
Was very good when you would see Post Grads & World team members showing up to wrestle. A number of Coaches would enter as well & some ended up going up against some of their wrestlers. The open competition was good for the sport.

In a nod to Penn State & Cael - the favorite flavor in Utah is Green Jello. Cael probably grew up on it. Spice it up with a Ponegranite. Get the unbroken seeds from the Ponegranite and put them in Green Jello for a great dessert treat. Even better than pineapple in it. Green Jello just might be Cael's Secret!

Has David Taylor already transformed OKSt's culture?
AgaveMaria replied to Jimmy Cinnabon's topic in College Wrestling
Initial excitement and wrestlers who buy into what the coach is pushing are a good combination. Remains to be seen if they can maintain this through the tournaments. -
Wisconsins Athletic Department Failed Again
AgaveMaria replied to Disappointed_Badger_Fan's topic in College Wrestling
In the US anyone can sue for most anything at any time. Doesn't mean they will win or that frivolous suits won't be tossed out - but an action can be filed. -
Does Oklahoma State beat Iowa this year?
AgaveMaria replied to KennyEBHS's topic in College Wrestling
Will only believe it when I see it. Past results are "hope & crash" after tough OSU teams failed time after time. Taylor may have them ready but Iowa will be peaking more for them than at NCAA's. -
Penn State pinning with the bow and arrow
AgaveMaria replied to Jimmy Cinnabon's topic in College Wrestling
American Bison and deer with an Air Force Texan .45 calibre air rifle. Nicer to use than black powder. No flame & smoke. Good power. They have been used to take Cape Buffalo in Africa. Amazing what Air Rifles can do. Lewis & Clark had a 20 shot repeating Air Rifle on their western Expedition. As for Bow & Arrow - a number of Air Rifles fire arrows and are very good for hunting. Just one example. https://www.pyramydair.com/product/umarex-airjavelin-pro-pcp-air-archery-rifle?m=5517 Work well for many, especially those older who can no longer draw their hunting bows as when younger. -
"pinfellery"? Win by PIN. Like this - when behind 14-5.

Can hardly wait until they come out to the mat with their theme song playing. In case they are Jewish or supporters of Israel they can use this one.

He is superstitious. Already injured & still hurting he knows that 1+5+7 + 13. 13 is an unlucky number. He is staying away from it.

Taylor Nauseating Cliff Keen interview
AgaveMaria replied to AgaveMaria's topic in College Wrestling
This type of thing is rude, obnoxious, sickening and only surprassed by the trash that dips snuff & spits into cups & bottles & cans. -
After the tourament Coach Taylor of OSU was interviewed. Why didn't his parents teache him "don't talk with food in your mouth"? Food or chewing something, it was an ugly sight. Two friends visiting and we saw it - the wife was sickened by it. Had to turn it off. If he has to eat or chew his cud someone tell him NOT DURING INTERVIEWS!

That was Bill Clinton who paid it down while in office. Under the rapist it will skyrocket - while he comes up with more asinine crap to sell - like maybe Jesus autographed Korans or something?

Song of Solomon 8:8 …8We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for? 9If she is a wall, we will build a tower of silver upon her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar. 10I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.… Berean Standard Bible As long as we are quoting scriptures to try & justify choosing a college for wrestling, why not one to justify boob jobs? --------------------- All kinds of crazy crap in "scriptures"...

Iowa adds Bakersfield, Farrari vs Ferrari as Angelo moves up
AgaveMaria replied to AgaveMaria's topic in College Wrestling
Hey, a boring morning shoveling snow and the temp finally got above the Donut. Farenheit temp and clearing the drive past the barn - 100 yards of it to the road. Not wet, light & powdery otherwise we would get the tractor blade going. -
Because Cael's Mormon God was once a man like us. When he created this world with Adam & Eve (Brigham Young taught Adam was actually God who brought one of his wives to earth to be Eve) and then they left the Garden - The great place now had "thorns and thistles and noxious weeds to torment and vex man". Nagao is just the latest to be picked on by Cael & Co - he should be proud to be singled out this way?
