  1. The next step in Carl’s master plan is revealed… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. The GI Bill has nothing to do with your pay. FGOs, GOs and Senior NCOs making $150k+ a year are just as eligible for it as a 4-and-out E4. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Ironically, I had the same coach as not one but two guys who were popped for doping. And, they had both been on the same amateur team as me. Not at the same time but a couple years prior. I have to ask: do you think ALL of the athletes Sam Calavita trains are doping? Helen Maroulis, for example? Or just the Penn State/NLWC athletes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Well, it would, as he’d beat Hendrickson in the Round of 32 and Hendrickson could then take 3rd at best, as opposed to 2nd. But, yes, point taken. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Taking EPO during a weight cut is the last thing, literally, that anyone should be doing. Increased RBC counts that literally thicken your blood, coupled with a dramatically reduced blood plasma volume. The heart pumping soup through your body. Jesus. That’s the sort of mind blowing stupid shit that kills people in their sleep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Pretty sure that's exactly what one of Biden's EOs does. It strikes the interest, preventing the debt from growing, and caps payments at 5% of their discretionary income. Did you apply?
  7. Hardy chose neutral. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Huh? Who said anything about a private company? Profit? Raises? Bonuses? Shareholders? The discussion was about the government paying off or otherwise erasing the debt of a person who had performed public service. The GI Bill. Doctors and teachers pursuing loan forgiveness. https://www.military.com/education/money-for-school/student-loan-repayment.html?amp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Somewhere between 30 and 40% of doctors pursue loan forgiveness. 70% of them have debt after graduating. More than 20% have $300,000 or more in debt. Do you want to live in a country where only the wealthy can go to medical school? Or do you want smart passionate, talented people, who might not be able to rely on First Bank of Mommy and Daddy to pay their way? My neighbor is the managing doctor of the ER in a mountain community here in CO. She has personally saved hundreds of lives. She has also had her loans forgiven. Is she worthy enough?

  10. How do you feel about the Student Loan Repayment Program? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. If the lenders were REALLY Christians or Muslims, they wouldn’t charge any interest, either. I can quote the Bible, too. Leviticus 25:35-37. “Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit". Interest makes up the majority of the debt for a lot of people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Apparently you missed the post where I said that modern 184s like Amine, Hidlay and Brooks would stomp the 1982 finalists at 177, Ed Banach and Mark Schultz. I think that’s pretty complimentary. I think Amine and Hidlay are great. I think Hidlay will give Brooks his hardest match of the year, by far. But I’m not going to pretend that a win over a guy who will likely be competing at 74kg in Paris this summer is as impressive as it would be if he beat Georgia’s actual 86kg rep.

  13. It’s kind of wild that people have forgotten that the single biggest increase in the prosperity of the United States was created almost entirely by the GI Bill after WWII. Funding education is an investment in America. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. The average teacher has a significantly higher likelihood of dying on the job compared to members of some military branches. Hint: 0.0 USSF Guardians have been killed in combat. They will almost certainly serve their community for longer than the average servicemember. So, is a USSF Guardian who serves four years, between Vandenberg and Schriever, and maybe “deploying” to another building at the base he or she works at already, more deserving of loan forgiveness than a teacher who teaches at a crappy, underfunded school for 8 years?

  15. Thoughts: Fewer matches and fewer bums. Guys aren’t seeing 40 matches, half of which are against backups, anymore. And the level has jumped considerably. Watch the technical ability of guys winning titles in the 80s and 90s. Their defense was not great; far ankle scrambles basically didn’t exist. Some of those guys would get crushed by current top wrestlers. I know I’ll get flamed for this but I don’t care: Ed Banach vs Mark Schultz. That was an NCAA final in 1982. These guys would get stomped by recent 184s like Amine, Hidlay, Keckeisen or Brooks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hard not to like Brock Hardy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. The only World/Olympic 86kg silver medalist in the last 5 years is Deepak Punia, DT or Yazdani. 2019 W Punia 2021 O Yazdani, W Taylor 2022 W Yazdani 2023 W Yazdani Then I realized you meant Kentchadze, who is a 74kg guy, who took 2nd at 74kg in 2018. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Stalled out of the match. His matches with Brooks are just embarrassing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. The match should have been over at that point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. He just refuses to wrestle Brooks, and no referee will call it accordingly. In their NCAA finals match he had a least one foot on or over the line for over a minute in the first four minutes of the match. I stopped timing after that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. That was Slumlord Supreme/Iowa. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. This is like people saying Hidlay beat Nolf. As if there wasn’t a significant amount of the match left, but they somehow just KNOW that Nolf lost. You can say that it should have been a TD, but it wasn’t right at the buzzer, and nowhere near match-ending if he gets it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Tell me more about Antrell Taylor’s world championship match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. For as big and strong as he is I thought he’d be a lot more competitive with a lot of the B1G 285s. Just got smashed by a guy who weighed in at 43lbs less than him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. That reversal by Kerk. So strong. Kerk up 8-0 now. 10-0 now. Will he stall Hutmacher out? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
