  1. Jfc please assure us that you have never read Nietzsche. If you haven't, that's cool and your opinion is understandable as just some political yea-saying. If you have read Nietzsche and don't recognize his world historical genius, I don't know what to say except that you might be a moron.
  2. You're a surly dude.
  3. Real question: Is this a technical term? That is, is there a specific group of folks with a set of rules, assumptions, stipulations about the limits of their faith and practice that call themselves "Bible believing Christians"?
  4. I love these questions, but about halfway through my list I'm always reminded of that grotesque literalization sonnet tropes. Like, you can't have KOT scrambling with Starocci's baseline defense.
  5. Cody Gardner - RIP - was an OG here.
  6. The Whos #1 was 36+, and the first dual --- I'm not watching it again to check for blood time and such --- says 30 mins: The final was a mere 20:
  7. Ohhh ... I understand your point now. I'm not all that worried about final team standings. I just want to watch individual Cowboys beat people they aren't supposed to beat.
  8. True, but there have been more than "some."
  9. I guess bc I already asked about Witcraft, and Young is the other guy I'm worried about going 0-2.
  10. So, "he is who he is." Tend to agree, but I am looking for some hope.
  11. Over on the Poke board, the consensus seems to be that Young "is who he is." What do you think: if you were Taylor and co, how would you have Young spend the next month?
  12. If running as punishment has ever motivated your kids to like wrestling more, then by all means.
  13. So many of us know this bizarre ritual first hand. But it's as idiotic as it is resilient. Your kids need to get better at wrestling, not running, no?
  14. Re forward pressure: Being lanky and slow, I'd be afraid of getting my head thrown through the mat. Other than just staying disciplined and controlling/pushing off the collar tie wrist/hand while keeping my elbow glued to my side (like Spratley), I like the suggestion above of going with it and attacking below the knee, a la Nolf (inside step) or Vito (outside step).
  15. Bet. I tried to make it clear that my post was more-or-less in jest, but my words failed me. Apologies.
  16. I gather that you disagree with @hammerlock3 's "goon" assessment. Could you expand on this? I always thought that Steveson was the slickest ever, esp with reshots.
  17. Spratley just grabbed and held Bassett's collar-tie hand a thousand times:
  18. Re sick: had a HS teammate who was cuttin' a brick. Could never tell if he was sick or just desecated. In the Regional final, he loses in overtime for the first time in like 70 matches (he was a jr and 2x state champ). On his way off the mat, he starts puking . . . like all the way to the locker room, where he starts evacuating from both ends. He couldn't figure out whether to sit on the throne or bow to the porcelain god. His mom comes in and tries to clean him up. In the midst of his complete abasement, our hardass coach comes and tells him if he's not on that podium to get his medal, he's off the team. So, he got up, did his best to wipe the puke and sh1t off his face, hands, and warm ups, and staggered to the podium. I'm not sure if he ever forgave that coach.
  19. I can usually guess guys within <5 lbs. With the ladies, I get in my own head. I know what they weigh, I just don't want to offend. Then I start second guessing myself, trying to figure out how much they want everyone to think they weigh. Then, someone's pissed off.
  20. idk, "Leg attacks" used to sound weird. Maybe, "head throw" will catch on. "Coffee grinder," though, I cannot abide.
  21. No doubt. I'm kinda Pico-ing the kid.
  22. This might be my dumbest idea ever, but hear me out. 'Member when RBY started hiding his left arm when he wrestled DeSanto, taking away his near-arm, far-leg dump? This tactic essentially shut down all of Desanto's offense. Is there a similar tactic that could mitigate the number of Bassett's snap/go-behind tds? Sure, you'd still have to deal with pace, a dozen leg attacks, pace, scrambling, pace, etc. . . . but but but?
  23. Hmm. I guess that if any team started brothers against Duke, they would have both wrestled a Finesilver. BTW every time this topic comes up, I'm reminded of Mickewitz (sp?) double forfeit in a VA state final.
