  1. Parents checking on other AA's health is not a violation. It is a considerate courtesy call.
  2. I'm not saying Spencer Lee owes us any explanation. However, to be compared to the women you mentioned, he in fact does need to state for the record if it was a mental health issue. And I can sense you are being defensive about Spencer and that's OK. However, he made his brand toughness. That was his choice. So some blow back has to be expected.
  3. If one is willing to wade through the muck of the internet you will be able to find what Anthony's latest side hustle is. The operative word being "hustle".
  4. Weren't these young ladies mentally strong enough in their diminished condition to state the reason that they were not competing? They were brave enough to step out of the shadows and advocate for mental health awareness. If Spencer's reasoning for not competing was a mental health issue, he is just perpetuating the stigma by shrouding it in silence. If mental health was the issue, Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles showed they were much better advocates for mental health awareness. Who would have criticized Spencer if he made a statement that said he was not mentally fit to wrestle, and needed to heal before competing again? Only A-holes would criticize him for stating that. Of course the window hasn't closed on that opportunity to speak out. He could do this anytime. If he does, that should be the end of the discussion except for healthy conversation about mental health and wrestling. The sport is as mentally tough as it gets.
  5. The only problem with a second chance is that it is a second chance for another college student to be assaulted. It would be hard to justify a "nothing wrong with that" explanation to her parents from the University of Iowa administration.
  6. He's available to transfer to the State Pen.
  7. Kerry McCoy was 19-17 as a freshman and DNP at the NCAA Tournament. You cut him too Jimmy? You know nothing about the sport beyond what you read.
  8. He's a little shorter than me so i would guess 5'10". He is not cutting weight to a higher than average degree. He wants to go 74KG at the Olympic Trials next year. Brooks is probably 5'9". he's very thick in the torso.
  9. I'm a PSU fan and was in attendance. Cornell definitely won the night. It was a dominant performance by PSU over the weekend, right up until Vito stepped on the mat.
  10. Let's see if they can get three before we talk about four. A lot of people have drowned halfway across the river.
  11. I like Michael and his family. I'd be thrilled for them all. Besides, he's part Penn State.
  12. I'm a dyed in the wool PSU fan, and even I would be thrilled to see Michael win over Max in the finals.
  13. Where did you get the photo of Willie when he had hair?

  15. You are the one saying he had unequivocal instantaneous control. I was only trying to put a context to it. The one second was the minimum video proof that there was reaction time. If the clock had tenths, then we could argue over tenths. But if he had that much control that a rule should be ignored, hold yourself in bounds for one tick of the clock. The fact is, there wasn't that level of control. people are going bat shit because everyone that has ever watched a wrestling match knows that had that happened in the center of the mat, there is no way it doesn't end up 2. But it was on the edge, and they went out of bounds instantaneously. We both agree it is not a great rule. You feel a good official ignores the rule as written, where I say a good official follows the rule as written until it is changed.
  16. The problem is, when you go to review the sequence there is 2 seconds left on the clock when Haines' butt hits the mat. When the sequence continues to where Robb's toes are out of bounds, there is still 2 seconds showing on the clock. So you're asking a ref to determine what is or is not defensible in tenths of a second. If he had that much control, hold him there for a second. One second. But he didn't. The action took them out of bounds in less than that amount of time. There were 2 officials there that were in agreement from the beginning and after the review. I'm not arguing if it is a good rule. Just that is the rule as written and explained.
  17. Willie is a Nebraska fan. He has made that pretty clear.
  18. Exactly. Then by rule it would be 2. Again the key phrase is "by rule".
