  1. Re $$$: I can't believe that there's that much cash on the table. I just assumed all the stories (e.g. Wood) were fantasies like the "full ride."
  2. He has 7 gold medals. Hubris is a main ingredient in this pie.
  3. You say "disturbingly pornographic," I say "provocatively Rubenesque."
  4. Brutal? Nah, Blasphemy! Boyd was a model Cowboy. Sit the kid who didn't want to be there.
  5. You're right: OSU would have been better off if he had retired a while ago. But I disagree with almost all of your justifications. Re he hung around for the paycheck: Sure, and so does everyone else. But, $$$ huntin' doesnt hurt a coach's chance for success. On the contrary, it's why they do the best they can. They want to win to get a bigger paycheck, no? Re coaching staff: Yeah, Perry isn't at his fighting weight, and so he isn't the best training partner. But, this isn't a coaching staff problem. This is an RTC problem. Traditionally, ass't coaches did fill the role. Today, it seems that the best operation has the lieutenants doing admin and organizational stuff. Re name recognition: Those six world titles are ancient history. But other than Sanderson, who are you comparing him to? Tom Ryan? Zeke Jones? Dresser? Koll? I guess there are some younger guys coaching, but their names aren't Dake, Taylor, Askren, or Burroughs. Re champs: It's been a diaster. I'm with you here. Re he's nice guy: Is he?
  6. I was coaching a Greco team in a dual at Line Mt(?) (It should be noted that we didn't have a Greco team, I.e. we were just there for the Freestyle tournament and figured what the hell). My kid got snapped down into like short offense position. The other guy had a front headlock. My guy goes belly down so as got to get head-pinched or gator-rolled off the mat. Then the mother-f#@$er with the front head-lock does a front flip/head spring with the front head-lock! He bends my guy in half backwards and breaks his back. The whole gym heard the pop, and about 5 of my guys start crying in rage. I had to stop fights left and right and get my kids to the parking lot while the trainers then the paramedics took care of Tyler. He was in the hospital overnight but was ultimately "ok." BTW sorry If you heard this one before. I told it on the other site
  7. Is anyone else getting a weird Star Wars themed ad on this site?
  8. And that match had some peculiar scoring and/or flukey situations.
  9. I'm sorry. I tried, but I can't resist following up: he is singing a song about macho-men disfiguring themselves to signal that they are macho to a decidedly non-macho post-punk-electro-Kraftwerk-Gary Nyman track. It's absurd. But "terrible"? It might not be funny (eye of the beholder, and the like), but didn't it achieve the purpose, I.e. to be ridiculously stupid? Edit: isn't it just beneath contempt?
