  1. I seem to remember although I wish I didn't some creepy message board fascination with Alex Marinelli and his gainfully employed wife's pursuit of the American dream of settling down together in a house with a mortgage.
  2. He's a 2x NCAA champ, Spencer should end up 4. No world medals, lost Olympic trials. Spencer has lots of age group medals and very high potential at senior level if healthy. And Metcalf hasn't had a particularly credentialed coaching career, plus he's estranged from the program at their lesser rival. Doesn't have Spencer Lee level cache. Less logical choice for several years down the road when the job might open.
  3. Actually not a lot of candidates near his level. Under 45 anyway. And those guys haven't been coaching. I agree that the Spencer fixation is notable. But I think it's understandable. It's been a really tough run since 2011 as PSU has established clear dominance. The one oasis in there has been Lee. He dominates as much or more as the PSU studs. And not only is he at that level as a wrestler, he has also been credited as a leader who drove recruiting and togetherness of their one (two, really, they would have won in 2020) breakthrough during The Decade Of Cael. So he occupies a unique place as a potential Brands successor, which is a relevant issue with Brands already several years older than Gable was at retirement.
  4. No chance this happens (among other reasons, why would Taylor sacrifice at least one, probably two years in his prime to make the weight change), but good topic and funny title. I would pick Snyder if Taylor put on 24 pounds to challenge him. Snyder would still be materially stronger and his technique is really sharp, so he can stay out of the scrambles Taylor would want.
  5. There would be some good competition in the room for him at St. Thomas. And some interesting challenges for the campus police force.
  6. Like any mysterious charismatic performer he is letting the suspense build. Wouldn't Jason B know, I think he interviewed him once. Sounded relatively nerdy, kind of a Wizard of Oz man behind the curtain thing.
  7. Not a TMZ kind of sport. p.s. Thanks for providing the new home!
