  1. I'm thinking you should circle ISU at Iowa or Okie St at Iowa the next time they come up. Either of those should get the crowd in a fired up mood.
  2. In trying to parse the rule, I have gone back and forth on this. But now I am leaning (just slightly) that maybe (possibly, not sure) it could be retroactive (?). My reasoning is that it is voted on by "The Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, or a committee designated by it,". It is the word reinstatement that gives me pause. But the sentence finishes with: "shall have the authority to waive this provision by a two-thirds majority of its members present and voting to permit student-athletes to participate in..." Which seems to be a forward looking statement. So I think I could be convinced of either.
  3. Transition updates is pretty open ended. It could mean many things, including: Transitioning financial control of the club Transitioning coaching control Transitioning club members to other clubs A wise man once told me one man's confusion is another man being intentionally vague.
  4. I know the rumored NIL payment from PSU related / connected entities would be an argument against what I am about to say, but I get the distinct impression that the PSU coaches will be happy to see the back of Starocci.
  5. @Jimmy Cinnabon's response will be to start another thread to rebut this thread rather than respond to this thread.
  6. And a few PSU people I know say he is the nicest man in the world. My sense is he is universally liked and respected.
  7. Just catching up on this thread. I know you have said several times that you have never been to Iowa, but you have also posted pics of yourself at other sporting events outside of your home state. So my question is, as a diehard Iowa fan who travels to sporting events, how in the hell have you never been to a meet at Carver Hawkeye? Having been there twice for Iowa/PSU, I cannot recommend this enough. The atmosphere is electric. I would recommend any fan of wrestling, not just Iowa wrestling, get ye to CHA.
  8. In a book she called No Going Back she is going back to delete stuff she made up. I imagine her publisher is real happy to be eating the cost of a reprint. Truth is stranger than fiction.
  9. Kristi Noem's publisher just took the passage about meeting Kim Jong Un out to the quarry and shot it.
  10. The NCAA has a rule where anyone suspended by a national governing body that follows WADA guidelines is also suspended from NCAA competition. Given that Brooks wasn't suspended by USAW while in college, that ship has sailed.
  11. I found him on Spotify several years ago. Listened to Full Time Magic and Yelled At By A Clown many times each and loved them. Then Hello World came out and that was a big step up. Sadly Spotify has since removed it for dumb reasons.
  12. Even if you intend to hire Coleman Scott you attempt to interview people like Casey Cunningham, David Taylor, and Jordan Burroughs. This is common practice. It allows you to pick their brains and learn about their proposed methods. It is sometimes more a form of information gathering than an actual interview process.
  13. I missed this last week, but the Supreme Court refused to hear Musk's Twitter Sitter case, where he claims the agreement he signed with the SEC violates his constitutional rights to free speech. I guess you still can't lie to commit securities fraud.
  14. I would think Taylor would feel very good about that. If they had told him about a private matter involving another wrestler he would need to worry about what they are telling other wrestlers about him. Doing the right thing (not revealing private and privileged info) is never the wrong thing.
  15. To be clear, you are called a troll for being a troll.
  16. I just took a look at the rule. It is unclear from what I read whether the declaration needs to be before after the event. It just says: The Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, or a committee designated by it, shall have the authority to waive this provision by a two-thirds majority of its members present and voting to permit student-athletes to participate in...Officially recognized training and competition directly qualifying participants for final Olympic or Paralympic tryouts, or Official tryouts and competition involving national teams sponsored by the appropriate national governing bodies of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. "to participate" might be viewed as in the future, but not sure. Did he meet any of the criteria like officially recognized training and competition? Or official tryouts and competition? Does the World Team trials count? Do you need to be at an RTC to be officially training? Do you need to show you were training for not-fake wrestling while fake wrestling? More questions, no answers.
  17. Maybe? If he can count 23 as a redshirt and 24 as an Oly redshirt. Don't know the rule there, but off the top of my head I do not recall a restriction.
  18. I look forward to hearing how he got here. By here I mean someone who doesn't matter. From the first big NIL/employment contract, to a slow slide toward irrelevance, to a series of flirtations with returning to the place he has relevance, to a weird backtrack, to a fast slide to finally arrive at irrelevance just in time to miss out by mere weeks a chance to matter again. I would love to here his version of conversations had with WWE bosses and the decisions made. Knowing what both parties know now I have to believe neither would have chosen that contract followed by a waste of so many prime years. No third NCAA title, no World title, no second Olympic title, no WWE success either. At what price?
