    Ferrari sentenced

    BOOM! Don’t be alarmed. We were tip-toeing toward politics. I’m just slamming the door. You're welcome. ;)

    '26 U20 World Championships (8/16 - 23) thread

    Kiss of death to mention four before winning one, but you went and did it anyway. Take it back now! :cautious:

    Real American Freestyle

    Olympics are a vision quest requiring life-juggling commitment. RAF is a lucrative, guaranteed paycheck requiring only prior achievement and a semblance of effort or training (see Nickal). Love to see Jason do both. Doubt he will. :cautious:

    Duke didn’t lose. Robideau didn’t cheat. Referee didn’t make a mistake. Replay officials did.

    '26 U20 World Championships (8/16 - 23) thread

    Watched replay of Bassett’s matches. Just wow! Not that upset we didn’t get him, but pettily glad Hawks didn’t either. If he wrestles that relentlessly in NCAA folk, he’ll be nothing but a joy to watch. Seems not only to have Mesenbrink’s motor, but even another gear, if possible and not too...

    Where Ya Been?

    Soft spot for Montana’s Glacier NP—seen most of my grizzlies there—but do agree with you and @Aardvark86 that Canadian Rockies may be more thrilling and accessible. Son and I plan to return next month for hikes in the other Glacier NP (British Columbia), Yoho NP, and Banff NP. First time there a...

    Penn State legend David Taylor on his Oklahoma State program possibly facing the Lions one day: 'We’ll save one date every year'

    Ah, the ever amusing sidebar to this fresh and fabulous competitive dynamic between pupil and mentor: With DT’s two NCs year one, three frosh NCs and 131 points in March, and a measured, intelligent delivery when interviewed, the envy in Iowa over not acting before OKSt’s sugar daddy got...

    Penn State legend David Taylor on his Oklahoma State program possibly facing the Lions one day: 'We’ll save one date every year'

    I initially “liked” support for DT’s challenge, but on reflection, I don’t want a dual, especially with a jab shaded to look like Cael’s ducking. I prefer the anticipation of the season’s first meeting between a Lion and Cowboy being at the NCAAs in March. That said, I like DT’s work to build a...

    As a fan, which NCAA loss left the biggest bruise?

    For many, PJ’s hurts most because he won the match and was denied a shot at a likely NC. The others, while heartbreaking, were actual losses.

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    For specifically flaunting the cash aspect of the decision and obliterating any thought JW did it for skill improvement or team chemistry, I’d consider rescinding the offer. Of course, if the uber-macho twins are really okay with this kid having them look submissive to his demands, fine. Then...

    Iowa news

    My own visits do show more of us throwing jabs over there than vice versa. Thrown a few myself but mostly go for the ‘old bitty’ gossip. You’re one of the few who spar here, and in your own name, to boot. You instigate, too, but you admit it. My take is less popular than most. I don’t care to...

    Ferrari rumor

    Not piling on when people are nearly killed (and entire families devastated, destroyed, or ended), crushed by, or pressed into the twisted metal of a head-on highway crash caused solely by arrogant recklessness. Nor when every pedestrian on a residential street is fatally threatened by a car...

    Off (Wrestling) Topic

    The 70s rocked, literally. Damn great decade for a poor, sports-lovin’ teen boy from Braddock/Swissvale, too. Four Steeler Super Bowls, two Pirate World Series’, one Panther college football title. Throw in a first kiss and make-out session with childhood crush near abandoned iron furnace...

    AJ Ferrari reportedly in trouble again (6/27/26)

    Joined a few years back, mainly to rail at AJ’s comeback (reckless, arrogant driving is a heartfelt trigger), mostly on Iowa’s site. Over time, I softened and fell for the “second/third chance” crap, satisfied enough by the infant’s mat losses. After this (120mph in residential!!), I’m back to...
