  1. The right-wing does the exact same thing when they lose and don't get their way. Example in France:
  2. Yeah, this ^^^. Ryan has taken a ton of transfers. He started out his tenure at tOSU by bringing people over from Hofstra.
  3. College football has a spectacle out of recruiting for years. This isn’t a new concept.
  4. I can't see it either. It would be a huge shift in how he has operated since he started coaching.
  5. Is it really that dumb when 80% of MMA fans support him too, and your fighting style is perceived to be boring by them? They might actually tune in to see him fight now, which is more important in UFC than being a great fighter (and he seems to be a great fighter as well).
  6. This is actually really great for him. He got booed at his last fight because of his style of fighting, so this could win a lot of those fans back.
  7. The precedent has been going on for years, unfortunately.
  8. Most of the fans of women's gymnastics are women. And I think that is because it is one of the most intense/insanely competitive women's sports and has been for decades. They are absolutely incredible athletes, and the fact that most of the girls competing are 16-18 and have been training for a decade for their one chance only adds to it.
  9. AJ Ferrari? That guy is the most hated on NCAA wrestler here for very good reason. And all I'm saying is that it's obvious that the complaining/social mediate hate is exactly what Bo Bassett is trying to get from doing this unnecessarily long list. It's just engagement farming/trolling, so you shouldn't get worked up about the people posting here because it's exactly what he wants. You get as much or more viral traffic from doing stuff like that than by producing meaningful content.
  10. Hmm. Living in a mountain you say. I could see why a lot of us wrestlers would feel at home there.
  11. 1. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has been going up for years, so have global temperatures. 2. CO2 absorbs IR radiation, causing it to release heat (due to the bonds vibrating, which you see from IR spectroscopy). 3. Some of that heat goes back down to the earth, warming it.
  12. I'm not going to disagree with you on any of that, or pretend to know what the right solution to the problem is. But I will just say that it is undeniable that a greater CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is going to heat the planet, and the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has been increasing. So as long as we start from that point, and then ask what we should do about it (if anything), that is a discussion worth having. But when people say that there is no climate change or they don't understand it, it is confusing to me because it is so simple and directly measurable. You can measure the IR spectrum of a CO2 molecule. You can measure the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and get historical data from ice cores. It's not really complicated.
  13. MMA guys can outwrestle wrestlers in MMA. there's no question about that. I would also argue that a guy like Jon Jones would probably have been an elite wrestler if he stuck with it, or GSP would have been as well if he had been a wrestler instead of MMA fighter.
  14. What doesn't make sense about CO2 absorbing IR radiation? You increase the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, you retain more heat on the planet. It's a simple concept, but most people don't understand how molecular vibrations work. O2 and N2 do not absorb IR radiation btw. Hence why we are more and more ***ducked** as we increase CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. You can see the IR spectrum right here if you're curious: https://webbook.nist.gov/cgi/cbook.cgi?ID=C124389&Type=IR-SPEC&Index=1 If you want to say we should move inland/north in the long term or build giant levees rather than decrease CO2 emission, sure I could see that argument. It might be more feasible to just say the state of Florida and current coastal areas on the east/west coast probably shouldn't be inhabited 200 years from now than it is to say we should stop burning fossil fuels (and somehow convince China/India to do the same thing). But you can't really deny the premise that CO2 is heating the planet.
  15. What is there to do in Blacksburb? On the surface this post seems absolutely insane to me, but I have to admit that I know nothing about Blacksburg, VA. And maybe I wouldn't live in New Brunswick itself, but living in that area of NJ is pretty nice.
  16. This type of reaction is exactly what he wants, so if anything you should be thanking the people here. You see it all the time where somebody puts out content that is annoying or unpopular to increase attention and engagement. The people pointing out how annoying the behavior is are actually helping the person doing the trolling. So the posters here are only helping drive traffic/engagement to somebody who is obviously just attention trolling.
  17. Why is that brutal? He can just go over the GW bridge. Or he could move to the city and live in the housing they provide. I'm pretty sure nobody will ever want to go to Columbia again after those couple of weeks. They might be in danger of having an admission rate above 5%. Princeton was not a good job until they had a billionaire donor and great/motivated coach. With some resources, Columbia could easily go on the same path. Whether that happens, I don't know, but the ceiling is high.
  18. They can go on strike and collectively bargain for more salary or specific revenue distribution policies, but it's not going to work to sue and say the university has to cut other sports to pay football players more. That will happen anyway to stay competitive though.....Non revenue sports are screwed unless there is some type of federal regulation to protect them.
  19. Just when you think things can't get any worse, they always do. How could they possibly retain nonprofit status if they do this?
  20. It's because he's not any more out of it than Trump, who is also very old and has just as much if not more trouble staying focused. So the whole concept of arguing that Biden is too old is a huge mistake because it sets the bar extremely low. So he has some bad moments, but if you actually watch him in a speech or debate, the vast majority of it is completely normal. He ends up looking better than expected to people who only know him through 20 second clips. Ok? What does that have to do with people calling him an idiot?
  21. Breakdancing can be viewed as analogous to a floor routine in gymnastics or figure skating. You might not consider them to be sports, but they can set it up as a sport and it will get good ratings.
  22. I get not liking Biden as president, but isn't it a bad strategy to claim that he is an idiot when there are going to be debates? The same thing happened four years ago, and then when Biden came off as the more logical candidate, Trump's numbers dropped. It isn't difficult to beat Biden on policies, but for whatever reason people can't resist playing into his hand to make him look good.
  23. I like this question when it's a bit more subjective and the question doesn't focus on who had the most NCAA titles, but who would actually was the "best" or "greatest" at their peak performance. I'd go with: 125. Spencer Lee 133. John Smith 141. Yianni (I wanted to put Gable here, but he lost at this weight...) 149. Dake 157. Lee Kemp 165. Burroughs 174. Askren 184. Cael 197. Aaron Brooks 285. Gable
  24. It has been going on for years with the Russian athletes. It is becoming more common with U.S. athletes, which I think is due to the improved U.S. freestyle results and RTCs wanting athletes to compete internationally even if they can't make the U.S. team. That doesn't mean it's a good thing.
