    I hate to break it to you, but being sad about losing is not an injury.

    What 3x champ did Iowa lose to injury?

    Ayala at 125? I'd take Lilledahl. If he goes 133, as rumored, he could beat Nagao, sure. Parco isn't beating SVN. Arnold over Haines is laughable. He just lost twice to a high school kid who will be the Penn State 3rd string 174, if Haines goes that weight. Brands over Barr, I could see.

    Because they fall apart more often than not. They were the #1 team at the start of 2022 and imploded. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Counterpoint: There’s a good chance Iowa gets blanked at Penn State this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I used to live in an agricultural town. It was well known that the migrant farm workers, AKA “illegals”, paid into someone else’s SS. They literally made up an SSN for their tax forms and then had no chance of ever seeing any of the money they put in. And, they were happy to do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It’s a nice thought but a 174lber Haines would break him in half and O’Toole is a better version of Sasso. Better at everything, and not nearly as counter-dependent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Also: Hobbs Kessler became the first American man to qualify for the 800/1500 combo since 1976. The number of people who attempt this is very, very small. The events are different enough that the guys at the very pointy end are pretty specialized. He’s only 21, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    As it is topical: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is on a different level. Also: the top 8 of the women’s 1500m all ran PBs in the final. Bonkers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Donald Trump, who withdrew American troops from Europe to appease Putin, is somehow going to prevent Putin from invading Ukraine, eh? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    People on the old board gave me shit about nominating Starocci as the next likely 4 timer, particularly when he was just a RS FR, but I'll do it again: If they RS Mirasola this year, he's going to be an absolute terror for the next four years. Askren has coached him up very well but he's still pretty raw in some positions. I expect to see some gigantic leaps from what we saw at OTTs and U20 WTTs to his RS FR year. He's going to be rolling with Cael, Varner, Brooks and Snyder on the regular.

    Northern Colorado tolerated a kid, for multiple seasons, who was trying to hurt people and did so on several occasions. What makes you think that AJ Ferrari is a bridge too far for them?

    Is it long term gain? Have you seen the end of this story, somehow? That you, Nostradamus?

    I don’t think he’s “the worst”. I don’t have any opinions about him at all. I didn’t express a single thought about him. So, there’s that. Just pointing out that not everything is rosy, despite your glowing reviews. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I didn’t say he was… anything. I didn’t mention his name, at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And poverty rates are through the roof. In the 6 months since he took over, the poverty rate has increased almost 10%. Now over 57%! The child poverty rate is on pace to top 70% soon. Brilliant! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Someone on GIA just said Jore Volk to Iowa. No clue if there's any truth to that.

    You guys see that recent clip featuring Phelps, where an Australian swimmer is kind of talking trash about American swimmers, and he gets pretty amped up about it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well, they’d smile and thank him/TnT for the free team point. Although I don’t think Iowa will be within 10 points of Penn State at a dual any time soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You can’t really eat field corn. Well, you can, but you’ll shit it out the same way it came in. It won’t be digested at all. Not a great idea. It’s only useful as animal feed, or for ethanol production, or corn starch/oil/syrup. And, that’s 99% of corn production. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good for Cornell. Always liked McFadden. Seems like a boon for their upper weights.

    Barr could also go up to 197 for a year if Carter can't get big enough for 197. Hate to say it, but Barr's needs and desires are second fiddle to that of the 4x NCAA champ. Carter is going be as wide as a house at 197, though. I think he'll be just fine. He was a couple weeks removed from a season at 174, had been making his way down, couldn't do it, and still gave Hidlay a great match at 189.

    Justified and The Wire. My wife and I watched both of those multiple times, all the way through, in grad school. Such good shows. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
