You’re creeping everyone out. Please leave. And if you are one of the offending parties, please stop going to youth wrestling tournaments. The activities noted may not constitute a crime by the letter of the law but it’s pretty shitty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My point was that his apology was bullshit. It was “if you were offended”. He literally didn’t apologize for his actions. That’s trash, but completely in line for AJ Ferrari. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If these people feared violent reprisal against them, they wouldn’t do it. Let’s say you show up to some youth tournament and pick a fight with a guy you THINK is him. Then, it turns out it’s the wrong guy. You’re going to jail, chief. Or, let’s say he’s armed. Even if he’s a suspected criminal, if he’s allowed to carry a gun in that state, and you attacks him, he can kill you, and walk. There’s a reason the law exists. You don’t get to take it into your own hands. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Two thoughts on this: 1) Other schools want Iowa to implode. Seems plausible. However, I view this as shortsighted; not thinking about the long game. 2) If Iowa implodes, and the AD has to fire TnT, they might get a real coach from the 21st century. They might win more than 1 title a decade then, and I can’t have that. I think he’s biding his time in State College until he’s done with competition and Cael retires, but I don’t want DT to be lured away with a seven figure salary by Iowa.

Slumlord Supreme! He’s leveling the playing field! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalki

Slumlord Supreme and Iowa fans eat this up. This is “attitude” and “tough wrestling” that has, apparently, been missing. A key component to their Gable days. Slumlord Supreme is going to pay Ferrari no matter what. He’s that desperate. Whether it drives recruits away from the program is a secondary effect he might not have considered, though.

Man that’s rough. Hope he’s able to string together a couple of solid weeks at the end of the year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven’t recorded a ride on Strava in years. Might get back on the horse this year. When you have no formal training plan, a weekly segment poaching ride can be a remarkably effective approach. Also great for finding areas to ride, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah. Specifically, he should apologize to Glazier, the referee, and his coaches, by name, for the specific things he did. His “apology” is an “I’m only sorry because it might impact my bottom line”, as written. It’s bullshit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gabe Arnold is not AJ Ferrari. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah. Terrible optics for Iowa. A coworker who has watched zero point zero wrestling matches in his life texted me about it this morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tom Brands frantically doing a Google search: “How do I erase the internet?” The only way an AD with half a brain lets AJ onto the wrestling team is if somehow she doesn’t find out about it. I don’t know the first thing about Beth Goetz but I assume she has a cell phone and an email account. And, that both of them blew up last night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On behalf of Penn State fans, no one is terrified of the Ferraris. Why? Middle one isn’t that good. Little one is great, but isn’t done with high school. Big one, three years left counting this one. If he joins this year, good for him, doesn’t move the needle at NCAAs. But man, they are just cancer for recruiting. Despite Bob Nicolls’ money, they can’t land anyone besides DeLuca. If you read GIA, they thought they were getting at least one of Henckel and Desmond. Penn State is out recruiting them at a 2 or 3 to 1 ratio, and the Ferraris are only going to make it worse. It’s great. There will be 2 years of actual points from the Ferraris, if they stick around.

Lost in all of the post-match antics are two things: 1) AJ’s reactions to the two stalling calls. If he survives this, Brooks is going to pour it on him in a way that he has never seen or felt. If he has a meltdown over a single point, he’s goin to fall apart against Brooks. 2) He went to OT vs #19 Glazier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And maybe the AD if/when she hears about this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For his program’s sake I was hoping Hamiti stayed at 174. The weight is super shallow and he could make a third place match easily. I think his ceiling at 165 is the 5th-8th range. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nicolls lives up east of Castle Rock, purportedly. Franktown, CO. I live in neither of those places, but also in CO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

CO. Not in Iowa City. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bob Nicolls lives here in CO. Slumlord Supreme is one of the main donors to the Eviction Dome and is the guy who claimed “the playing field is level now” between PSU and Iowa before Nagao, Messenbrink and Truax as signed with Penn State. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is AJ Ferrari below the level of their program? Until a couple hours ago, that young man was looking like ~20 points and an NCAA trophy. They had Moriah’s husband in his corner all day. They were just itching to get that guy in the room officially and on the mat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So. Do the Brands double down? Pretend this didn’t happen? Is he a Hawkeye tomorrow? Will I yet see AJ get stalled out of the match by Brooks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Including the guy wearing the “Bad Mother ***duck**er” t-shirt in one of the pictures. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have to imagine the AD is going to hear about this incident. All sorts of fun stuff coming out of the woodwork. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Over on HR/GIA it seems some are remembering their previous reservations about Ferrari. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
