The heart is consumed upon victory. Penn State loses two team points, Iowa loses one. -1 PSU for heart-eating, obvs. There are kids watching this, Mitchell. -1 Iowa when Terry runs onto the mat. -1 PSU when Varner comes out of left field and yeets Terry into the crowd, where he is torn to pieces.

Iowa released a graphic; dual is at Penn State, even though they weren't originally scheduled to have one this year. I'll go: 125: Lilledahl MD Cruz 133: Ayala Dec Nagao 141: Bartlett catches and decks whoever at 141 149: SVN DEC Parco 157: Teemer DEC Kasak, barely 165: Mesenbrink kills Caliendo and eats his still-beating heart in the middle of the mat 174: Zack Ryder comes out like the Undertaker and beats Arnold in a 1 TD match 184: Starocci MD whoever 197: Mirasola DEC Buchanan, for funsies. 285: Sleepy Greg gives up an early TD, then comes alive and puts Kooter through the mat a few times to wake the old timers up a bit. Kerk DEC Kooter

I would be surprised if he isn't. He's the one claimed, multiple times on HR, that the "playing field is level" and implied that his large cash infusions were going to close the gap to Penn State.

I’m certainly no Iowa fan, but setting aside “Iowa” here, it’d be sad to see this happen to any program. Does Slumlord Supreme clear these purchases with TnT before he writes the check(s)? Do they care? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Zhamalov’s “pin” was the worst I’ve seen in a long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Zhamalov is very good but he got gifted that pin. If they stay in that position until the break, which they should have, Takatani had a realistic chance of winning. Brooks was a handful of seconds from beating Ramazanov. Other than that, I agree with your list. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LOL. Out of curiosity: Why do you think that PSU/NLWC pays big money for transfers? How much money do you think they paid Mesenbrink?

Well, it looks like you might get your wish. Hopefully a significant drop off in fires and Texas wheelchairs. https://www.koaa.com/news/covering-colorado/proposed-change-would-close-72-of-the-pike-national-forest-to-dispersed-target-shooting

I clearly said USADA. USADA is responsible for administering WADA code in the US, to US athletes. They cite WADA in the article. Here: We have seen an increase in inquires at USADA about the use of Intravenous (IV) Infusions for this purpose, and would like to assist athletes and medical personnel by offering education. In accordance with the WADA Prohibited List (Category M2 Chemical and Physical Manipulation), all IV infusions and/or injections of more than 100mL (~6.8 tablespoons) per 12 hour period are prohibited, except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital admissions, surgical procedures or clinical investigations. Further down: Some reports suggest that administration of IV infusions, including dietary supplement and vitamin cocktails, are being provided to athletes for recuperation, recovery or lifestyle reasons. This medical practice is prohibited at all times without prior TUE approval. WADA has justified the inclusion of IV infusions on the Prohibited List given the intent of some athletes to manipulate their plasma volume levels in order to mask the use of a prohibited substance and/or to distort the values in the Athlete Biological Passport.

Here’s USADA’s documentation on it. https://www.usada.org/spirit-of-sport/education/is-it-prohibited-or-dangerous-for-athletes-using-iv-infusions-for-re-hydration-and-recovery/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aaron Brooks, who just completed his final NCAA season and had a handful of senior level freestyle matches … underperformed? The guy was seconds away from beating the winner of his bracket and took a decisive bronze medal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely forbidden except as medically necessary. To treat an infection, insulin, etc. It’s literally referred to as the “No Needles” policy. https://stillmed.olympics.com/media/Documents/Athletes/Fight-Against-Doping/Beijing-2022/IOC-Needle-Policy-for-the-Olympic-Winter-Games-Beijing-2022-EN.pdf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, actually, the men got their teeth kicked in by several countries . The US men had one (1) individual gold. Italy, Hungary and France had more men win gold than we did. We were on par with Ireland, China, Australia, Romania and Germany. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s a crazy pin call. No change in position for 20-30 seconds. I guess they got bored? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The smile from Dake at the end. Awesome comeback. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you suggesting that he is a persona non grata now?

Stomped Femke Bol into the ground. That was awesome. For all of the hype of a "rivalry", it's pretty one sided and Bol hasn't been anywhere near her the last two Olympics.

They are on opposite sides of the bracket...

I remember Zahid grabbing Brooks' singlet twice but only giving up one point, and Brooks being robbed of a TD and given a 1 instead, and Zahid still lost. But, yeah, Zahid totally beat Brooks.

If they had 55, like they do at Worlds, she could go there. Or 57kg. But, yeah, unless they split the difference between 50 and 53 with a brand new weight class, I'm not sure how adding the non-Olympic weights back in actually helps her.

Yes. They were suspended for a while, actually. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
