Boy are you correct! I am not a big poster and have never been banned, but this really IS a great new home.

Does that mean that they are going to be pushing a new samich? The Philly Cheese Tofu?!

UCLA will add wrestling when the University of Texas adds it. NEVER.
-
Texas has had a separate division for girls for over 20 years and even now we still don't have more than 10 girls go to wrestle in college each year. We have over 5,000 girls wrestle at the HS level. That is more than Oklahoma has boys that wrestle at the HS level!
-
They can't get full rosters now. It is so bad that coaches are taking girls that haven't wrestled Freestyle! I bet there are about 60 women's programs without 20 girls on the roster. There were about 3 or 4 programs dropped last year, because they couldn't fill the rosters. I guess the girls don't want to spend $50K a year to go to a private NAIA or D3 school just to wrestle.

The market is flooded for women's college wrestling. If a few more D1 teams add a women's program and that may be the death of D3 women's wrestling. About half of the women's teams now have less than 20 athletes, but schools keep adding it.

Yes. It was proposed for a men's program and UT asked if there could be more raised for a women's program? Of course the answer was "YES!" Then UT came back and said nah, not interested. In Texas it is King Football and Prince Basketball and until we can change that thought process, we will not have a big D1 program in Texas.

I am glad that the administration at OU allowed Lou some time to get the program back on track. Do you think Demas is second guessing his transfer out now?

Go eat at the Whole Hog Cafe on Cantrell. It is close to the UALR campus. https://www.wholehogcafe.com/

Even if Texas had a Greg Hatcher type that wants to fund the college program for the first few years, I still don't think it would be enough to sway the powers to be at D1 school. UT recently had the opportunity to add a men's & women's program, but they declined. The money was raised, but they still said no. It would not surprise me if it was 20 years before a big D1 school in Texas adds a men's program.

I don't see it working out for Wiscy as much as they had hoped. I am still shocked that OSU took Orndorf. The nickname for UVU is no longer Injury U as it is changing to Transfer U lol
-
OUCH! That stinks for sure.

A friend of mine is a HC of a D3 school and his school has a contract with BSN so he places his orders in Sept and always gets his gear in Feb. The AD is always on him about his gear too. He can't win.
-
My kid's HS team ordered gear back in early October and we still don't have it. It is almost as bad as dealing with BSN! Does anyone know someone at Rudis that answers the phone?!

I don't feel that TCU should be in the playoffs, especially when they can't even win the Big 12. -
I see a lot of people standing in the breakrooms at my place of employment watching kickball, and nobody gets any work done, and no complaints. They all freak out when I am watching the NCAAs on my phone, and with headphones.

WOW. Does the "John Smith has to go" talk go up a level now?

Did FLO customer service ask you to delete cookies?

Didn't we all agree that the turtles are no longer the doormat of the Big10? -
Sounds good!

What is Trenton style pizza?

I knew your wife's comments were going to be great when she started with "How much do we pay for this?"
-
Maybe they could mess up a 3rd event for the Flo Trifecta?!!
-
There are a lot of HS and Youth coaches and maybe some lower level college coaches that don't know the rules. Sure we change our rules every year....but that's not an excuse.

Mission accomplished.
