Guys, everyone that is attuned to the physiological make up of a great wrestler knows that having great hips is one of many ideal attributes to possess.

So, my message to all of the men on this board is to start with simple genetics and breed with a woman like this:


Ladies, you may want to target guys like this to breed wrestlers with great hips:

Longtime Penn State wrestling SID Pat Donghia is retiring today:



The job is no longer posted, so I'm not sure who they've hired but assume that decision is made. We'll find out more in the days ahead, I'm sure.


To be blunt, as long as Pat was running the account, that was never going to happen.

A few comments on this:

1. Pat was always nice to me in the rare (very rare) times that I would attend a PSU match. He knew of me/the board, and would remember who I was. So on a personal level, I appreciated Pat, and the work that he did.
2. I was impressed with the work that Pat did on the PSU wrestling twitter account. He stuck to the facts, and let the results, the record, and the history mostly speak for themselves. By contrast, I found many of the twitter accounts of PSU's main competitors rather disappointing. They'd overhype positives, and minimize or ignore everything else. I dislike generalizations, though this is a bit of a generalization, but too many of the official wrestling twitter accounts of PSU's main competitors appeared more like fan accounts than university SID accounts, which IMHO made Pat's tweets that much more impressive.
3. regarding SHP, I did attempt to intercede on his behalf with Pat, and get him not to block him. Without disclosing the specifics of the conversation, SHP's statement that as long as Pat was running the account, SHP would not be unblocked is spot on. I disagreed with Pat on this, but it was his account to run, so I didn't raise the issue with Pat after my initial attempt.

Guys, we all know that being flexible is also a key attribute. Do any of you old timers remember Lynn Swann taking ballet lessons? Yeah, it's football, but it's still relevant:

People don't realize how much he does for the sport. If anything ever happened to him wrestling would suffer greatly. And he does it all for the love of the game . Not many people like are SHP wrestling should be glad they have him

Maybe change your last line to

there are not many people like SHP, and the wrestling community should be glad they have him.
The way you typed it seems like not many like SHP, as if he is a bad guy.
