    AJ Ferrari in trouble again...

    If he was driving without at least bodily injury- and property damage liability coverage, I suspect he was breaking the law in most states whether or not an accident was involved.

    RBY and NLWC

    Cael's staff is saying, thru their actions, that there are more important things in life than just maximizing one's highest five years of earnings, or net financial worth, or whatever other monetary metric "highly successful" folks may choose to measure their success by. From where I sit...

    2024 B1G Tourney Session I Thread

    Assuming Starocci had medical clearance, could be a case where Cael felt that the knee could easily handle the stress and strain of everyday walking or jogging, but the stress and strain of a series of NCAA Championship wrestling matches might be something else, that the NCAA-, not B1G-...

    Match Notes for Indiana

    If memory serves, that loss came in Starocci's first-ever varsity match and was set up when inexperienced over-aggressiveness caused him to give up a six-point move about twenty seconds into the first period. To his credit Starocci never quit, and actually outscored Washington the rest of the...

    Outrage

    I'm a Viet Nam vet, authorized to wear the CIB, and, over the years, have seen and heard comments along the lines of the one you refer to more times than I remember. At first they caused some real anger, which probably took a decade or so to begin to overcome. To do that, it was necessary to...

    Jimbo fired by aTm

    Agree 100%. When institutions whose primary mission is, allegedly at least, the conduct of teaching and research for the benefit and betterment of society as a whole, are paying people who coach kids in how to get better at playing kids' games with a ball -- in significant multiples of their...

    Non-PSU Recruiting

    Suspect that Cael ("... respect your opponent ...") Sanderson might disagree with the second sentence of your response were a PSU recruit to use the Ferrari technique to disrespect, say, Iowa or tOSU and, if he did, I would 100% agree with him. Self confidence and respect for opponents need not...

    Non-PSU Recruiting

    Didn't realize there were any Cro-Magnons in that place. Plenty of Neanderthals though.

    Non-PSU Recruiting

    Speaks to the immature character of a wrestler who has yet to win his first college match. Makes you wonder why he should feel a need to publicly disrespect any particular team which didn't recruit him, especially one which happens to be the current National Champion, has won eleven of the last...

    2023 NCAA Championship Session VI (Finals) Thread

    O'Connor: 6 years older, 6 years more experienced, physically in the prime years of his life. Haines: 6 years younger, 6 years less experienced, not yet in his physical prime. God-given ability aside, at age 18 six years represents 1/3 of a lifetime -- and that's quite a set of deficits for...

    2023 NCAA Championship Session V Thread

    A question we'll never know the answer to: Would Lee have wrestled this morning if Iowa still had a real shot at the team title tonight? I just don't have alot of sympathy for how he, or his mother, handled the adversity of not only losing, but also getting decked, in a match he very much...

    2023 NCAA Championship Session IV Thread

    It's natural and normal for a parent to feel very sad, brokenhearted or be tearful for a wrestler following a tough-, and in this case embarrassing-, pin fall loss to an opponent he was expected to straightforwardly dispatch en route to a fourth national title. But a physically destructive...

    2023 NCAA Championship Session IV Thread

    Everyone, myself included, thought it was the right move for him this year and that 141 was his natural weight. But you're never absolutely certain until he gets out on the mat and actually wrestles somebody else's No. 1's. He's 22 and it's not impossible that 141 could become increasingly...

    2023 NCAA Championship Session IV Thread

    He was seeded 6th and will finish either 3rd or 4th. Either way, he wrestled better than his seed and validated the move from 149 to 141. Even more so for Van Ness, who was seeded 12th and has guaranteed himself a similar finish.

    2023 B1G Tourney Session 4 Thread

    Agree. Sort of like the Japanese Women's National Team. By the time a wrestler makes the traveling squad, often she's met and defeated tougher competition than she'll meet in whatever tournament the team's competing in.
