    POTUS executive order -- 5 total years + 1 transfer limit starting Aug 1?

    The payments have been going on for decades. My cousin, Frank, who went on to play linebacker for 13 seasons including a Super Bowl and Pro Bowls with the Eagles played way back in the early 1970's for Kentucky. He had a bigger cash offer from Ohio State but was from Lexington and wanted to play...

    Keep a good thought ... Ben Keuter health crisis

    I had somewhat of a similar experience, I had open heart surgery in 2012 to repair my mitral valve and a single CABG via full sternotomy. Once my chest was open and they started the procedure, my surgeon discovered my aortic valve had developed stenosis, so he did that valve as well. It was like...

    J Rob. RIP

    I attended that same camp. I came away with respect for him and a whole new understanding of what "intensive" meant!

    Best Part of the Offseason

    If there's one thing I learned in all my years wrestling and coaching ... it is that there is no off season! There will come a time when winter will ask what you did last summer.

    Another Ruth on the Mat

    POTUS was a varsity wrestler in high school too. It may be the only thing he will admit he was not "great, greater than anyone has ever seen before, some say amazing" at, but at least he knew what it was all about.

    Guys You Really Want to See Decked

    Ferrari went on a long online rant on X accusing Yonger of steroid use. Referred to his acne, etc. Then tried to claim what good friends they were.

    Step Out rule. MUST CHANGE THIS YEAR

    As an old school coach who still thinks a TD should be two not three, I do not want to see a push out rule which is what it would become. Just an entire match of trying to push or force your opponent out of bounds. In my years, I have see a lot of rules change but not a lot of changes that...

    Hodge race-Who ended the season undefeated?

    "But, but, but a couple of months ago Jax was just a (19 year old) high school kid preparing for prom." Already hearing casuals say how despite only wrestling half a season he should win the Hodge for his "unprecedented feat." Mitchell clearly should be the Hodge winner.
