  1. Hublersburg Inn down the road...best restaurant in Centre County
  2. American Top Team and M2 are a few minutes down the road in Pleasant Gap. A few doors down from ATT & M2 is the Red Horse Tavern, back in the day it was the only MMA gym in town. Don't know if it still owns it's infamous reputation
  3. Jimmy is pretty sweet on you. Jimmy's been watching you. You're just Jimmy's type. Jimmy would like to get to know you. Jimmy loves the velvet fog
  4. Seems pretty true to me. Also, hopefully you can leave us alone and take your trash insight back to HR/GIA
  5. Was it the 2022 Iowa-PSU dual @VakAttack?
  6. This kid has potential but might be a little green. Does he understand what has been bestowed upon him? I think @Idaho is a good candidate. @MPhillips has a wicked sense of humor but he's probably too cool for school. @VakAttack showed potential when his phone call was featured on FRL. We have the dead GOAT @NormMacDonald on our forum. @ILLINIWrestlingBlog is a self proclaimed stand up comedian. I tested him with a Mitch Hedberg joke. He responded correctly. He might have some great material
  7. What if the diameter decreases as you go up in weight so by the time you get to heavy weight it's identical to the diameter of a sumo dohyo
  8. He got noise from the football media coming out of high school. He was a finalist for the HS Butkus award given out to the nations best HS linebacker. I think the finalist list is cut down to only 15 players. As for his freshman year on the football squad below is a link straight from his coaches mouth. I think Ben's problem is he needs to choose a lane
  9. Yes Doesn't mean he isn't good enough to play in the NFL. Iowa is a great feeder program on the defensive side of the ball for the NFL Youth tends to give us the great fortune of viewing the world unrealistically The Iowa football program is notorious for not starting underclassman. Wrestling isn't hindering his career at this point. They have a strong weight and strength training program. Going into next years football season don't be shocked if he looks like a brand new man. But keep in mind the size of a college LB is changing. I've seen reports that the average size of a NFL draft pick is 6' 2" 240 pounds. But I've also seen reports that of the top linebacker draft picks the average size is 6' 2" 215 pounds
  10. Daniel Cormier gave up a scholarship to play football at LSU (some reliable sources say it's because he didn't have the grades) solely to continue wrestling. Spent 2 years at a community college before getting the opportunity to wrestle at Okie State.
  11. That is a great story. I thought Kurdelmeier came up with the idea a few years prior to Gable taking over but it was Gable who actually made it happen during his tenure as head coach
  12. I always wished we could just have one standard mat size but I've always been under the understanding that it isn't feasible because the actual floor space fluctuates too much from one arena/gym to the next.
  13. Fantastic execution on that trivia. 10 out of 10
  14. Just want to be on the record that I have no hate for Ollie. That's a pretty strong word. I just have a criticism towards his persona that appears to me terrible acting as some caricature of a Long Island wise guy. Has he told some story about a possible connection to the mafia yet? The podcast itself is fine. I listen regularly. I do find it amusing that Pyles got his career from our very own @Husker_Du posting on messages boards and now he calls them/us a cesspool. It's somehow beneath him now even though he hijacks our topics for his show. Pyles is that classic story of the D&D nerd who dumps his friends after getting a seat at the jock table by default and now sh*ts on the very thing he used to love. Feel free to pass that along @Jon_Kozak
  15. Because it's Friday we should have some fun. The answer is Cael Sanderson. Lehi was some prophet in the book of Mormon. He led his family to the New World (America's). Cael is the "Lehigh person". Pat Santoro threw a chair at @gimpeltf...In true Cael Sanderson fashion
  16. Lieberman racked up quite a few points his senior year and won with a DQ in the finals stalling out Bud Palmer of Iowa. Did Gable throw a chair at him? Lieberman was known for his throws. We give up @gimpeltf....I'm way too curious
  17. Why not finish the year out in October @ Albania?
  18. Yianni won silver at 2022 Worlds. He's our guy he just has this mental block when wrestling Nick Lee
  19. Yianni needs to fix the Nick Lee mental hump. He's our best rep for this weight
  20. Have a feeling this @jajensen09fella is going to take Cinnabon to a whole new level
  21. I love your trivia questions. They've been fantastic but they're starting to make my head hurt
  22. Ollie seems like he's trying to do a character of a guy who people thought was cool on Long Island. He comes off as inauthentic
  23. That seems like the plan at this point
