  1. Just as we had it in the 60's - if you aren't working towards a pin you are stalling. It really is that simple. Holding on, building riding time - call it whatever you want. If you are not working for a pin you are stalling.
  2. Watch Penn State and key on on two wrestlers this year. Nagao and Truax. Both transfers.
  3. One thing I notices was that every match had intensity. So many have borefests and guys who are just looking not to get killed. All of these looked like they wanted to go. OSU sure didn't look like worldbeaters as they have the past few duals. Is Iowa in their heads?
  4. As if there is any kind of record at all about Jesus when he supposedly lived. I have more proof Jesus was actually from Mexico. I know many Mexicans named Jesus and have yet to meet a Jewish guy with that name.
  5. Sure am glad you specified Cael Sanderson. Otherwise I would have spent hours trying to guess which Cael was making these statements.
  6. Truax has the same problem as the last upper weight guy they had that came in. (Though that one did win a title one of his two years) He is not "A Penn State" wrestler. He does not show what many of the Cael guys do on the mat. Maybe more time in the room getting The System pumped into him is needed?
  7. OSU and Coach Smith are showing a very good recovery from PTFD: Post Traumatic Ferrari Disorder. Tom Brands and Iowa are showing some effects of it. That happens with even a small exposure. Watch what happens if they get the full infection.
  8. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.analysis-ferrari-are-fully-focused-on-2024-but-its-impossible-to-avoid.4uCaFhUJzolY1TWSkTnzBl.html https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.5-bold-f1-driver-moves-that-paid-off-and-5-that-didnt-as-hamilton-makes-his.2wPmwzRV9k9duGq68QFn9u.html Real Ferrari stuff. Real racing. Circuits that have drivers at 34 mph on a curve and then over 220 mph on the straight. Cameras on the cars and drivers that show most everything anywhere on the track. Day and night races. Racing in the rain. Max Verstappen on the Red Bull team won 19 of the 22 races last year. He was in a F1 car at 17 1/2 years of age. A good sport to follow. A lot like wrestling in some ways. One driver with a whole support system trying to get them to the top.
  9. Check out the NCAA.com site for wrestling and it is frustrating. Articles are old. Not kept up to date. Their Basketball site is apparently updated daily - maybe even more than that. They don't seem to care about wrestling. Not sure about other "minor sports" as I don't follow them. Any way to push these jokers to do a better job?
  10. PTFD. Post Traumatic Ferrari Disorder. John is getting better and it show.
  11. High powered silenced pellet rifles work well. .22 or .25 cal is very good with air powered rifles. .30, .357, .45 and .50 calibre are generally way too much power. One of mine I take coyotes with is nice and quiet. The sound of the pellet hitting is louder than the shot. Accuracy is the hallmark of good quality pellet rifles. Am regularly taking blackbirds off power lines and tree branches at 75 yards. Head shots on swimming muskrats at that range are normal. Pellets don't ricochet like regular bullets or even 22 rimfires do. Much safer for the shooter than using BB's - which are steel and bounce back if they hit something hard, like the wood in a knothole. Adjustable power with some is great. Pigeons in the barn without the pellet going through them and making a hole in the roof is nice. So is taking pigeons from the grain elevators at 20 to 100 yards and even more. Feral cats are no match for these air rifles.
  12. Just like trying to find the sucker in a Poker game. If you can't find him, it's you.
  13. It is the influence of all those prune pickers in California and their obsession with sports where you play with your balls.
  14. No matter who wins it won't be Iowa. They are set up big time for the NCAA Tank job.
  15. If you don't understand, you are.
  16. Won't vote for womens basketball. Not until they play with the same ball as the men. This reeks of "Separate but equal" and just as with civil rights... it is not.
  17. It is what Girlymen do on the mat. Wrestlers Pin the opponent and the more formal types call it a Fall.
  18. Take a good look at him and listen to him. Then put yourself in the place of a University President and see if you can really justify him as Head Coach material? Doe he have the organizational experience or skill he can bring to the job? How well will he look at the public face of the University as head coach? He has no experience, no resume as a coach. Watching him on some videos won't impress most administrators. Maybe an AD or two, but it takes more than that. If he can get an assistant position and show a few years of progress and successfully taking on more responsibilities maybe he has a chance. It isn't like he can pick and choose among the many openings. For now he is a major league gamble. Nothing more.
  19. Have watched two matches with Lumley of Michigan. In both he nailed the left eye of his opponent a number of times with his right hand. Open hand with the thumb right in the eye. Did cause the opponents some problems. No apparent 'sorry' or handshake/touch as if it were an accident after it happened. Is he doing this in more matches? Or is it just happenstance in these?
  20. If he does, maybe he can get NIL money from the NRA?
  21. Or those in Song of Solomon that apparently justify/promote breast enlargement for women.
  22. Do they have ROTC or military affiliation? You want real combat sports/training - they are the ones who actually use it.
