  1. 4 medals and 2 golds would have been a pipe dream in the Gatsalov, Batirov, Saitiev, et al era.
  2. What's the ruling about the situation where the bottom man tries to crawl forward in an attempt to scrape the top man's gut grip apart? Seems like was day-one par tarre instruction. Do you have to do it on the sly?
  3. UBI is on the horizon. I hope I live that long.
  4. "Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich starker" . . . maybe. Or, each successive trauma makes it increasingly difficult to bounce back. Consider how physical injuries breed more injuries. Seems possible that the same could be true of psychological or spiritual or institutional travail.
  5. I know, but imagine the seething envy that must consume the 2 -10 coaches.
  6. Uggh. Gable always said his goal was 10 national champs. I'm sure he was serious, but most everyone understood it as the appropriate aspiration of a great coach. This shit Sanderson's doing is different. I'll watch it happen, but the instensity of my ressentiment is embarrassing.
  7. This doesn't seem to be what happened here. His response to the accusations are still more damning.
  8. Word. Innocent in a court of law =/= innocent enough to become my son-in-law.
  9. Squash vs quash: the battle rages on.
  10. Waiting to see my twitter feed this morning. The new algorithm will work magic with this sorta engagement.
  11. Doesnt this look like Dieringer:
  12. I thought the host country got special dispensation.
  13. Genesis older than Judaism? How so? Re comparison: the God in the Old Testment has a different temperment than Jesus.
  14. That ain't Jesus. You do recognize the difference between the Sermon on the Mount and the distruction of Jericho and all the innocent women and children living there, too. Edit: wrestling is older than Judaism.
  15. Let's blow up this thread: Wrestling is a sport born out of the pagan virtue thumos. While Jesus glories in the vengence he serves his enemies in the Revelation of John, his chief teaching in the Gospels is compassion. Compassion seems antithetical to competition. How do these folks square this? They sound absurd.
  16. Was Jerry Best before or after Pat Smith? I think he was the first four-timer in Oklahoma. Maybe just the first undefeated four-timer? I could look it up but search is melting our brains.
  17. Just thought I would check in for my bi-monthly register of disgust.
  18. Jamal Parks cuz Chris Perry, freshman Oliver, Heil, and various other guys in orange were already taken.
  19. No, but teams want all the good kids, and kids believe in themselves. So, the end result it the same.
  20. Have you been to Oklahoma? There's a reason they gave it away.
  21. Fix* *insert your preferred "He's-so-old-How-old-is-he?" joke.
  22. If so, he was playing some man games.
  23. I think he is both a symptom and disease. Something was wrong at OSU before the arrived, but he brought in new problems.
