The cat is you my friend! ionel is an an anagram for Lion-E. Here is the training manual passed on to me through several generations: 1) wait for someone that works at intermat to post the article that says viewing guide for the coming weekend 2) copy it 3) paste it now we all have our strengths and weaknesses, so I'm interested to see how you fare. @MPhillips is a good copier but a poor paster, and I was the other way around. It looks like you might actually be good at both, but bad at that waiting part. Let's cut a deal - we'll do the waiting - you do the copying and pasting

In some cases - if an Ivy program cared a lot about a sport, they could green light someone's admissions if they otherwise would not have a chance

great list - but to me, a redshirt freshman is just a sophomore who would stoop to the level of loopholes. So the true freshman shown above (and not the ones who have done various gap years and gray shirts) are the ones that impress me.

that cat is adorable

You may be right - and yet in spite of that - a conservative clean cut school like Notre Dame or Boston College do not have an active D1 program. And Brown does. So for all the hippies out there - there's got to be a couple wrestlers. Askren always had a bit of a hippy vibe to me.

Providence is a really cool city in my opinion. My brother went to Providence College and I would visit him when I was living in Boston.

That's a valid question. If they can increase the profile of the program, they can at least attract some more Ivy level students who either have lots of money or are eligible for financial aid (for which ivy league schools are mostly generous I have heard). It may not be a major boost, but maybe closing the gap a little with Harvard could be a start.

I know there are restrictions, but I assumed - perhaps wrongly - that they would be part of the recruitment process as assistant coaches. Whether they can be effective recruiters? I'm not so sure, but at the least, Kemerer could tap into his area back in western PA, and any connections he made in Iowa - and Murin the same but for Central PA instead of Western.

In addition to Max Murin who is on the staff already, it looks like they are also adding Michael Kemerer. Two PA guys who wrestled for Iowa will now be coaching at Brown. Good for them. Wonder how it will impact Brown in terms of recruiting.

It shows a good sense of humor I agree.

If it makes you feel any better I had to drop AP calculus in high school because it was too difficult but my younger brother by two years remained in the class

You need an Eastern European like Slavikouski- make sure he walks out slowly, and with zero facial expression to the following song.

Here's the latest, but I think it's time to change the model. Will report back.

Or almost any band at all for that matter! Although Aja by Steely Dan was good in its own way.

For the last several months, my wife who is mid 30s - had several scans that suggested we should assume the worst. Today we found out it was benign. I have been processing gradually throughout the day and its been the best news I've had in awhile. I'll listen to some Toby Keith since you are all saying how good he was. I ventured into country but only a bit here and there.

I kinda thought that also, but its hard to tell and wrestling roster updates are not exactly announced when they take place

Wolfpack are lucky to have a guy like Trombley who was happy enough waiting in the wings as an upperclassmen, but capable enough to step up and contribute whenever needed

I only ever owned one Troll. We were in a hotel in Louisville with my family and I was sick. This was the year 1991 or so. They went down to a mall that was connected to the hotel and bought me this as a cheering up present:

So do you think those gestures were being made about his position in the lineup? I'm not very good at interpreting stuff like that

these new age scramblers are truly disgusting. either finish the shot cleanly or GTFO of there!

Jarrett Trombley is the new starter according to WIN, WrestleStat, Intermat, and Flo. Anyone have any news to explain? Another injury?
