Dake is locked in.

David Taylor would like to say something about this "smoking the field," comment...

Don't love how he just quit with 9 seconds left, but he didn't look right that whole match. 32 years old now(I think) and looks like he's running on E or he's just banged up? I don't know...

And Trump, the guy who asked Kelly, "What's in it for them," and called those who died or were injured in war were "suckers." He included McCain and Bush Sr in that. He skipped out due to...bone spurs. What a perfect fit for the Republican Party. He and JD Vance who "served" in Iraq...in an Air Conditioned office writing propaganda on how the War was going(he also did not have relations with a couch...that's very important to understand, no sex with a couch. That didn't happen. It's an ugly rumor).

You don't need to watch the whole thing...but it touches on the Carry trade(and the future of AI which...is what's driven the market). BOJ...again, not raising interest levels past...I thin 1.9%. So...really nothing to see here. Still going to see more money rotating into the Russell I'd guess. Who's President will have a bigger impact in the markets. I don't really know the benefit of Trump this time. Energy would be obvious, but these oil companies are making record profits, we're producing more oil than any country every each year under Biden(most in '21, then '22 beat that, '23...). Harris is better for big Tech...maybe. They're investigating most Mag7 for anti-trust(at least my top 3 or 4, NVDA, AMZN, GOOGL).

Hey, if the Beavers are still in, Wisconsin is basically sitting on the nips...they're still in also then!

Yeah, they were all HUGE. Chris Phillips and that whole...HS Squad was pretty massive as well. You get three high AAs, two NCs, a 4X Champ and the top recruit decides he's done.

Well...maybe have her watch this guy. He's got...great technique. The film production may not be great, but the technique is.

Then I would think you'd be thrilled. What's QQQ up for the year or since '22? Not for nothing, but the 8 largest net drops in the market came under Trump. So...yeah, seems like it's working pretty damn well.

Do you really think this was based off...unemployment numbers? LOL...no, this was the Bank of Japan raising the interest rates from 0 so that Hedge Funds in the US can't borrow money for free and put into US equities. So...they had a little sell-off. The BOJ has said they won't be raising interest rates. The actual job data came out better than expected. A lot of people temporarily laid off due to weather or weather related disasters, but if you think this was over the JOBS report...you're really missing the plot here.

Oh...that was BRUTAL. The disrespect...a Scott doing the Wrestling? C'mon...

That's what I'm trying to figure out. This was in '70...and Douglas Wrestled in '70. So he didn't get screwed out of a spot, right? (Not that it's not still noteworthy...assuming it was racist).

Yeah...no, I get what you're saying. I'm simply saying you're taking a time frame when he didn't have Sadulaev or when he'd just moved up and when he won a WC and an OC. I don't know that HIS level of Wrestling has changed so much as...again, arguably the best Wrestler ever moved up and has just owned the weight class...until the last WC.

I've seen various versions of this with...5, 6 or 7 Douglas wins in 1970.

Yeah...he beat him and then lost to him before moving to the NLWC. And while Sadulaev was moving up a weight class. He also lost to guys before. He's lost to Sad a couple of times to lose an Olympic or WC...you're really getting...I'd say a little ridiculous with the regression or improvement IMO. He's spent 8 years now competing for WC and OCs. Even the GOAT's lost. If he wins a Gold here does that change anything? It's kinda hard when you win a WC and an OC before 21 to keep that up.

...if you beat the guy who won the Gold at your weight the last time 'round...also from Penn State!

Eh...not really. He just had Sadulev come into his weight class. He lost to him before the NLWC, he lost to him after... And then he lost to Taz and I remain convinced he can turn that one around, but we'll see. But it's pretty damn hard to say he's regressed when he's lost to like two guys and one of them, you could argue, is the best ever in Freestyle.

Ooh...and Wisconsin and Oregon State juuust missing out. He'd BETTER not commit and then do the Kervliet shit after that. Not after all this build-up!

So...who wins, a Dake Coached Iowa team or a Taylor coached OSU team? Screw it Jimmy, I'm taking over...

I think he needs to go to an entirely new forum. He just looks...bad in a Wrestling Forum. I think a Baseball forum may suit his particular style of posting better. Or...maybe a fake Wrestling forum. I think his fantastical "who'd win, the Rock or the Hulk," style of posts would be wildly popular there. I'm even thinking he could get an endorsement by said forum(I'll say anything to get him off here).

That's great that she's interested. Maybe take less joy in him being "humiliated," and "storming off," and more in her just...enjoying possibly getting into the sport with other Wrestlers. Look for clubs in the area. There's a lot of girls wrestling. It's kinda exploding at the moment.

It doesn't take much if you have your arm in that...head pinch to just kinda straighten it and you're blocking off the leg. Up 4 there, if he thought Rau was gonna score, makes sense. I didn't see it, but I wasn't looking for it. Makes sense though.

I saw the hand on the hip, but I thought you had to actually use it or...gain an advantage, that incidental contact wasn't a foul. Is that not the case, just getting him to touch it is enough or do you think he blocked off on the hip? (This sport is the same I wrestled ~20 years ago and so different).

Yeah, I'm not a fan, but I respect these guys. I am...totally at a loss as for why he was put down(I understand Spladle's explanation, it just doesn't match what I saw)...and even more confused why Rau got 2 there. He didn't expose or anything. He came around with a...head pinch, kind or front head and he looked like he was trying to throw him, but he just brought him up and then came down to his rear. An explanation would be appreciated. There were still clinches when I was wrestling Greco!

I know! Just...complaining...
