Nah, I'm talking about the ridiculous amount of airtime and dunking these morons are posting about on Twitter day in and day out, "MASSIVE FRAUD" inciting tons of morons to freak out. They're overplaying what they're doing. An audit was required, but Elon is doing this as an ego trip / for personal financial gain, that's it.

Yep

How do y'all feel about Elon Musk's personal wealth jumping by $200 billion since the Trump election? Is this the masterclass in saving America that y'all expected? Dunking on USAID - a bipartisan charity org - for inefficiencies which amount to 0.7% or less of the budget, seems like a lot of smoke and mirrors, meanwhile this dude can personally influence every decision the president makes to enrich himself. He's now got our social security numbers, bank account info, and all our data. Does that make ya feel good? Personally, I think he's enriching himself and laughing all the way to the bank.

This is much ado about nothing until they take on actual big spenders like the DOD and healthcare. Trying to dunk on democrats for finding wasteful spending from USAID, which in it's nature is meant to be donations / aid to foreign entities struggling, and accounts for 0.7% of the budget, is a waste of f'ing time. Yes, our government is inefficient as hell, everyone knows it and it's because of both parties. This whole charade is nauseating with everyone sucking off Elon, when this is CLEARLY a conflict of interest. He's benefitting more than anybody.

I'd agree with you here. I couldn't imagine getting an extra 2 years on my competition while in high school. That extra development is a cheat code. It also doesn't make much sense to me when they are already elite, stop wasting time in high school tech falling kids in the first minute when you're apparently good enough to place at the NCAAs.

Where's Logan Stieber? Lost one match in high school, his freshman year to a sophomore David Taylor. Also placed third at the US Open and fourth at the WTT as a junior in high school. Can't get much better than that.

I'm pretty sure Metcalf won a controversial first match at the Medina invitational, Dustin Schlatter won the rematch at senior nationals. But they did split. I am biased, but believe Schlatter was better.

Fried was the man for sure. In regards to Phillips, I always heard he couldn't cut it in the classroom and that's what held him up. Probably that tied with HEW.

This right here. It always cracks me up that he makes such dumb mistakes sometimes, for instance he made an entire video how Marcus Blaze is the best high school wrestler ever or something along those lines... Said his name about 100 times in the video and every single time said "MARCUS BAZE" lmao.

Wow, I thought he was pushing 40 and assumed he would be done after the last Olympics. Would've never guessed he was 30.

I was also surprised at the lack of discussion around it on here... Usually our USA team members stay home.

Correction - David Taylor is not flying out to watch Jax unless he feels he needs to do more recruiting to try and close the deal.

I still remember when Chris Phillips beat Brian Roddy, who was a phenom in his own right, as a freshman. Mind you, Roddy was benching 315lbs the summer heading into freshman year during football workouts. Absolute monster. Can't comment on Kolat as I was focused on Ohio wrestling back then.

Good showing by RBY, I was expecting Spencer to tech him. Anyone who favored RBY is smoking something.

Forrest to the Buckeyes would be wonderful.

Hopefully they don't do what they did with Spencer and actually let him wrestle freestyle before they burn him out.

Well I hope he at least let's his Hawkeye wrestlers touch their 3rd and 4th place trophies before he slams them into the trash can. "third place ***ducking** sucks!"

That was pretty stupid, not gonna lie. No suspense.

Damn, Iowa came in with that big ole bag of cash. Only explanation.

Does Spencer Lee have the mentality to be a head coach? Love his wrestling, but half of his interviews are spent on him whining about people talking crap on social media.

No way

Yeah, we're in the wild west these days. Apparently Dave Portnoy helped arrange the deal to get him. I do think the deal is spread over 4 years though, so he might still be behind Arch Manning (who just got another ridic Red Bull deal).

A LOT of outlets reported it. He flipped from LSU to Michigan last minute from a very sizeable NIL package. https://www.si.com/fannation/name-image-likeness/nil-news/michigan-wolverines-received-nil-funding-from-billionaire-to-land-bryce-underwood

$1mil is chump change to today's NIL. Michigan's new QB commit is getting $10-13mil.

I thought the same thing, like DAMN he's 100% confident he's going to win. Imagine if he lost, got injured, or something else. Obviously not hoping for that but sheesh going directly from a match to wrestling's "The Decision" is interesting.
