I agree that the men should pay half the cost, no doubt. I didn’t mean to imply that the men are not at fault…if they’re having one night stands with random women, they’re whores too. Replace the word whore with whatever terminology you prefer. I get your point, but to me, there’s a big difference between funding schools as a society and funding after-the-fact birth control. Kids have to be educated or we’ll fall into Idiocracy. People don’t have to have one night stands or be reckless with contraception. Funding of a football stadium with tax dollars is also ridiculous, in my opinion, but you also have the choice to live in that county or state where your tax dollars go towards it. That’s why local government should decide vs. federal…gives you the opportunity to move if you don’t like it.

Rocky to Hwt. With Sinclair at 197 would make that lineup even stronger. And I agree it’s a lot of freshmen, but not unheard of. Wonder if Keegan and Rocky will stick around to train with the RTC? If so, I can see them being ok with redshirting. Who knows though…

Now now…

If they are not for profit, yes. Do you think non-profits should be tax exempt?

Laugh away…I don’t see anything funny about my statement. Clearly you’re intellectually superior to everyone here so I’m sure you’ll enlighten me. Women have the right to choose, but their choice is made when they choose to have sex. They know there’s a chance they’ll get pregnant. If you don’t want a child, keep your legs closed. If you want to have sex and get an abortion, cool…pay for it yourself. Don’t use private insurance to drive up my rates or use tax payer dollars. Maybe money out of their own pocket will make them think twice next time. How many people do you think would support abortion if it cost $20k out of pocket? The key point is they have a choice up front. If you don’t have a choice (rape), then you should absolutely be helped financially by the government.

Looking at the strong classes coming into Mizzou over the next two seasons, would it make sense for Smith to redshirt Keegan and Rocky next year to potentially have a powerhouse of a team in 25/26? Don't know that it matters with PSU always being the heir apparent to the throne, but maybe for a second place finish? They could still be very competitive with Surtin, Moore, Gioffre, Whiting and Sinclair in the lineup. Thoughts? I think it would look something like this... 24/25 Season 125: Noah Surtin (RS-SR.) 133: Kade Moore (RS-SO.) 141: Josh Edmond (RS-JR.) 149: Logan Gioffre (RS-SR.) 157: Cam Steed (RS-SO.) 165: James Conway (RS-SO.) 174: Sean Harman (RS-SR.) or Ellis Pfleger (RS-JR.) 184: Clayton Whitting (RS-SO.) 197: Aedon Sinclair (Fr.) -- Big Board #7 285: Ryan Boersma (RS-SO.) Redshirt Mauger, Crapps, Roller, O'Toole, Elam ------------------------ 25/26 Season 125: Mack Mauger (RS-FR.) -- Big Board #74 133: Jake Crapps (RS-FR.) -- Big Board #37 141: Kade Moore (RS-JR.) 149: Josh Edmond (RS-SR.) 157: Jace Roller (RS-FR.) -- Big Board #26 165: Kollin Rath (FR.) -- Big Board #9 174: Keegan O'Toole (RS-SR.) 184: Clayton Whitting (RS-JR.) 197: Rocky Elam (RS-SR.) 285: Ryan Boersma (RS-JR.) or Sampson Stillwell (FR.) -- Big Board #52 Redshirt Sinclair and Stillwell (maybe)

Nailed it. My problem with abortion (other than I disagree with it morally, but that's my opinion...not something others should care about or follow) is that tax payer money (ie. money I worked hard for) goes towards supporting it. If you want to sleep around and not use protection, then why should I pay for your abortion if you don't want a kid?? That's the point of leaving it to the states. If you want to live in a state and have your tax dollars go towards someone who whore's around and is too stupid to not use protection (instead of tax dollars going to, say, providing free lunch to underprivileged kids), fine. I choose to not live in a state like that. Any federal funding for planned parenthood or the like should be completely out of bounds.

Is this a reference to Coach Smith or Coach Grey? Assume Smith. One thing I'll say is that he recruits "good", but not great. For being a consistently top program, he doesn't get anywhere near the high level recruits that PSU and Iowa do (and even tOSU, OSU, and others), but always seems to develop them into top tier talent. I truly wonder where Missouri would be if they attracted the same top recruits that these other schools do, with the development that Smith and his staff are able to bring. Hell...PSU consistently gets like 5-7 of the top 10 big board recruits. Who can compete with that? Where I get frustrated (and I have to catch myself) is when we have a sluggish performance like we just did against Cornell. I/we have to remember a couple of things. 1) Smith doesn't have his wrestlers duck people (e.g. Keegan goes and will bump up for best comp...so did Askren). and 2) this is a long season and Mizzou starts early. I didn't realize that the B1G was literally just starting their dual season after the beginning of the year, while Mizzou has been dueling for several months. Maybe it makes sense and the B1G has the right idea to give their wrestlers less matches, and later, to keep them fresh...but that sure doesn't make me happy as a wrestling fan who wants to see dual wrestling as soon as October after waiting 7 months from the last NCAA's. If you look at the number of top-tier HS recruits that PSU and other big name schools get, and you look at the HS recruits that Mizzou gets and what they're ranked coming in, and then compare that to their results every single year for the past 15-20 years...well....Smith is one of the best coaches in the country, hands down. Give him the same recruits that Cael gets and Mizzou does the same thing they do, no question.

What is going on with Mizzou? They look terrible. The flu going around or something?? Not taking anything away from Cornell…they look fantastic.

I was thinking the same in the Edmond match. Dude…you’re down by two takedowns, don’t just stand there and wait for them to do something…

I haven’t looked forward to a graduation this much since his fellow Father Tolton alum, Jarrett Jacques…

That was a damn fun dual to watch! Maybe I'm the only one but good God...enjoyed every minute of it! If you like watching wrestling, I'd hope you agree with me...

I searched for a lot of these on Roku last night and couldn't find quite a few. How/where do you watch these? The next question is....what are your top 5-10, in order?

Anybody notice Matt Lindland's reply to the tweet?

Thanks for all of the great feedback and info! It wasn't Vision Quest or Wrestle. If I remember right, it was similar to Takedowns and Falls (in fact, I bought Takedowns and Falls because I was thinking it was Doug Schweiger), but thought it was with more "preppy" kids, and the scene I was thinking of wasn't in Takedowns and Falls. Maybe I'm just losing my mind...

I'm sure somebody will know here what movie I'm trying to find. There is a scene where one of the (HS) kids is walking to the back of the bus with an attitude, pissed off about something with life. It's not Takedowns and Falls or Wrestle...driving me crazy I can't think of it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The caption in the post "If it doesn’t work dm her and she will help give you a discount manually.' makes me a bit uncomfortable. Not a sales guy, but, probably shouldn't suggest that something doesn't work, And if it doesn't work, I want my money back, not a discount....? I get it the dude is trying to make some money off of his "fame" while he can, and some company thinks he's worth the marketing (how much did they pay him for this promo??), but....maybe don't have him go off script and write the script for him to stick to....

Midwest Wrestle may have adjusted the thumbnails after all this. I still see two that are inappropriate...and doing my best to give the benefit of the doubt, I'd hope he'd change these, but he still made some cash off the 82mm views he received. I did a quick comparison of the number of views /video and followers of one of my favorite popular BBQ guys vs. Midwest Wrestle, and the numbers seem off for what he provides vs.this dudes videos. Maybe I'm wrong, and I pray that he's not a pedo, but makes me wonder. Would be a good idea to change the thumbs....

Great recap...thanks for that! I too get frustrated with Edmond and Mauller. I felt the same that Edmond looked so promising as a freshman (up a weight), and not to say that he won't turn it around, but wondering if the weight cut is the issue that's causing him to gas? Seems like he explodes at the beginning of the match and burns all of his gas. Mauller is as frustrating as they get. How many matches has he taken to OT because of the defensive mindset? To your point, if he would just shoot, he'd be one of the "leaders" that gets bonus when the team needs it.

Thanks, and I've realized that now. Maybe a chat feature on these forums would help the "trolls" to do their thing without constantly having a conversation within the threads that are irrelevant. One can hope...

Didn't read through all the comments...just the OP's post. Sadly, there are predators out there and the pictures that have been posted to date are on the internet...not much you can do about that other than petition the hosting sites to remove them. Problem is, they still exist because pedo's have downloaded them and will continue to share them with other pedo's. Once pictures are on the internet, they're there...these dirty pricks will circulate them 'til the end of time. IMO, the only solution is to protect future wrestlers by getting away from singlets and implementing the non-compression uniforms across the board. Advocating for that, and the reason why, is what will stop this in the future. There will still be issues with other sports (swimming, etc.) because of the uniforms, but we can try to do what we can for our sport.

Agreed. As I mentioned to MPhillips...I just get frustrated with all of the side chatter and the need to scroll through 7 pages of nonsense to find a post that's actually related to the topic. I don't care to scroll through all of that and was just trying to get to the point and understand what is actually going on (publicly). Nobody that has an inside track would be dumb enough to post it here (at least I wouldn't)...otherwise they'd no longer get the inside track

None taken, buddy. I get frustrated with all of the side talk and chatter and just like to get to the news. I hate having to scroll through 7 pages just to see the one post that is relevant

Disappointing to see Surtin, Edmond and Mauller lose. What a grind college wrestling is and especially tough coming off the holidays. Was sure looking forward to Mocco/Lewis, but it is what it is. Hats off to Whiting and R. Elam for getting the majors, and to Zach for closing it out. And of course, as always, KOT doing his thing. Glad he didn't bump up, although I know he would if asked...Lewis is a brick sh*thouse! We got lucky that Moore CAME TO WRESTLE! What a bad a** pin! That dude is funky as all get out. The Tigers have work to do, but solid performance coming off of the holiday and our leaders really stepped it up to bring this one home. Strong remaining schedule with Stanford, Cornell, OkST, NDSU, SDSU and Iowa State coming up. Hope we rest up and get in top form before Big 12's and down the stretch for natty's...

You're cool, man. Jump on the wagon...forgive an old timer for asking a question, generating conversation, and asking for real info without getting hijacked by trolls. Matter of fact, your response seems a bit troll'y. Congrats for proving my point with this forum...
