Inflation was coming regardless of who was president. There were restrictions on domestic and global supply for at least two years, conservatively. Demand was building and both Trump (about $3.2T) and Biden (about $2T) injected more money into the equation. Inflation isn't one a one-sided phenomenon. It takes time for the supply and demand to find a new balance when disruptions occur. Obama's average yearly inflation over his two terms was 1.4% and Trump's was a half-point higher at 1.9%. Clinton's was 2.6%. HW was 4.3%. Over the last 13 presidents, five of the top seven highest yearly average rates of inflation have been under Republican presidents. https://www.investopedia.com/us-inflation-rate-by-president-8546447

The further removed we get from the event and the more "details" that come out, the more implausible it sounds. At this point in our political dynamic, nothing would surprise me, including the potential killing of rally-goers for political gain. I'm also not going to be shocked if Biden never recovers from "COVID" while on the campaign trail.

Arguing about politics is a fool's errand. We're full on 1984 at this point and we're all pawns. Biden, Trump...it doesn't matter.

Field events are long and drawn out. No one would watch. It's bad TV. They show the winning throw/jumps and final results then call it a day. Running events are more relatable. That 5K/10K resonates with a lot of people who run 5Ks religiously and even people who just started a couch to 5K program. They also cut away from/split screen the 10K to show other events/ads. If you've never been to a track meet you may not understand the energy that the final day hits you with. Final after final, everything is on time. It's a beautiful thing to watch, even if you don't know anything about track. Everyone understands on your mark, set, go...winner.

This. Sometimes people try stuff and it isn't the right fit for them. That's one way you learn and grow.

When a coach leaves, you update the website. You don't wait for the next season. They have an interim coach. OSU hasn't bothered for nearly a month. It's in multiple locations, including the drop-down menu for the sport page under "Team Info" and on the athletic department staff directory. He's no longer the head coach. We aren't talking about a shoestring operation at OSU - they just haven't done it. Does it mean anything for the coaching search? Probably not - I was being somewhat hyperbolic in the first post. But they certainly haven't cared enough to update things which means something. If you were talking about the actual roster, I'd agree, but not with the head coach.

This must not be a priority for Oklahoma State. John Smith is still listed as head coach on its website https://okstate.com/sports/wrestling/roster

This isn't only a Cleveland State issue. Many schools are in the same boat or swimming as fast as they can toward that boat for a variety of reasons. Some reasons are political, some are social, some are economic, some are mismanagement - among many other factors. But no, they are not okay.

This. When a guy starts talking about retirement, his mindset has changed. That doesn't mean a win over DT isn't noteworthy, but Taylor has been talking about farming a lot. I hope Brooks wins gold. He's certainly going to be in the mix. He has international success/experience and is a great wrestler. I'm thinking DT goes for one more world team spot and then leaves his shoes regardless of the outcome.

57- Gilman in three 65- Zain in three 74- Dake in two 86- Taylor in two 97- Snyder in two 125- Parris in two

22 votes as of this post and 19 picked Lee. He's for sure getting decked.

Nor does he need to.

Let's implement a promotion and relegation system!

Hot take sure to go wrong: JB doesn't make it to Dake. Father time is undefeated.

Just give him another year in OSU's room. He'll be at 184.

I kinda hope the opposite, mainly because I'd rather do anything than watch Warner wrestle.

Or he doesn't want his phone blowing up with every DI coach. He very well could have made the decision to transfer before the NCAA tournament, but that doesn't mean he's been talking to coaches at other schools.

Hamiti to Michigan. Confirmed.

Penn State just set the NCAA record for total points and margin, his team won the B1G tournament and dual title. I get why Erisman won the NWCA award, but Cael is the Coach of the Year. PSU just made history...but their coach isn't the best one this year? It's silly.

Why should a kid not be able to go wherever he wants? If you think you can improve your situation, you do it. I have zero problems with the transfer portal.

125 - Figueroa - Ayala is far too high a seed to win at 125 this year. The No. 8 seed winning makes more sense. 133 - Vito - This is March Matness Vito. Sorry, Fix. 141 - Mendez - I think Bartlett plays this too conservatively and Mendez gets two takedowns. 149 - Henson - Henson wrestles a positionally sound match and stays away from the upper body ties. 157 - Haines - Teemer strikes first, but Haines grinds him down and pulls away late 165 - Mesenbrink - The pace ultimately cracks Carr, who will be in the lead for all but a short time in this one. 174 - Starocci - The score will be close, the contest will not be. 184 - Keckeisen - Closer than the Big 12 final, but not that close 197 - Brooks - Hidlay can't find the underhook and Brooks controls the action, winning 5-2. HWT - Kerkvliet - Davison's great run comes to an end, but no bonus.

OW is interesting. Brooks, Vito, Haines, Mesenbrink, Staocci, Keckeisen, and Davison could all make a case if they win.

Push, IMO. These guys are awesome and I'm grateful that they wrestled at the same time. They've made each other better.
