My cases could have gone sideways but thankfully they turned out OK. In one I didn’t mention there was a very large African-American man walking around Main Street with two unleashed pit balls. He was shirtless and I’m gonna estimate that he had to be 300+ pounds but with a steel muscular belt, even though he’s kind of chubby. He was wearing a chain around his neck as a neck necklace.Agree, no one is here to protect me so I do what I feel I need to do to protect myself. Humans are not the only things to worry about. I guess you have to have been a victim or have loved ones hurt to understand. My guns all have holsters but when needed there isn't time to open any display case for use. Just saying.
Ever tried Smithwick’s? It’s a division of Guinness and one of their best. I actually got to visit the Smithwick’s brewery in Kilkenny Ireland on an all expenses paid business trip!![]()
Okay....now that all the excuses have been offered, and he is no longer part of the Lehigh staff......bottom line is he blew it. He had the entire wrestling community pulling for him and supporting him after he was shot and even more so when he recovered enough to wrestle again, as he should have. He retired gracefully and was offered this amazing opportunity. When you are on staff at a major program and leading young men, you must have your sh@t together. He used very poor judgement in so many ways. He only has himself to blame for this situation. I hope he gets his life together and makes another recovery, but it's a shame he squandered this opportunity.
Point taken, but I’m not sure it was all that secure of a position. Will there be an NCAA in 2050?He screwed up a golden ticket. A reliable upper middle class income for the next ~25 years of his life...gone.
There will be college sports.Point taken, but I’m not sure it was all that secure of a position. Will there be an NCAA in 2050?
The other site has been even worse since then.This site has gone to hell since the merger was announced
How so?This site has gone to hell since the merger was announced
Read this thread and figure it outHow so?
I agree. Not the same civility that I was accustomed to. Not blaming anyone for that, but something isn't jivving. Maybe it's just the news this summer that has people on edge.This site has gone to hell since the merger was announced
It will mature and develop its own personality. It will be dependent upon the people who stay and post.I agree. Not the same civility that I was accustomed to. Not blaming anyone for that, but something isn't jivving. Maybe it's just the news this summer that has people on edge.
What’s been lacking is the ethos of “the show must go on”. In the performing arts, if two costars (or two extras) disagree with one another, they know that when the curtain goes up, nobody is there to watch them argue, and so the regularly-scheduled show goes on.How so?
It’s like going to a wedding. You can’t participate in and prolong an argument at the banquet tables. It would be selfish and “bad radio” and not understanding what sport you are playing.
But what if the second cousin thrice removed had it coming for taking too much gravy for his mashed potatoes?
I think the problem has been the endless argumentation about politics and tribal issues and the Corby-esque defense of one’s honor. I don’t think any third party would consider that to be “fun bantering”.The site is different and seems to me that the fun bantering gets mistaken or is not appreciated.
El Jefe was probably the hub of knowledgeable comments but would still show humor or wit. I on occasion would hear some interesting developments on recruits or back stories. When I posted it , I didn't feel like I had validate what was said. On this site I see a lot more questioning of unconfirmed comments. Maybe it is where we are as a country with the media outlook.
The same reason 50 years ago at a tournament I moved from the Penn State section across the arena to the Lock Haven section where they were talking wrestling.This site has gone to hell since the merger was announced
On the old site over the years, people know who to not engage with. It was a very knowledgeable site with lots of fun. This site had less traffic, and I would say less fun. Not so many off topic threads.I think the problem has been the endless argumentation about politics and tribal issues and the Corby-esque defense of one’s honor.

It's like the young kids got moved out of the playroom into a formal party. Both groups will adjust. But you will always have the rowdy ones and the get off my grass guys.
In a few weeks things will settle down. This has been a very trying and strange off season.

A couple threads were off the rail for me, I love the wrestling knowledge and inside info. Some threads are no big deal, just annoying, here is my example.On the old site over the years, people know who to not engage with. It was a very knowledgeable site with lots of fun.

Interesting take, about us crowd-source-creating our own show.What’s been lacking is the ethos of “the show must go on”. In the performing arts, if two costars (or two extras) disagree with one another, they know that when the curtain goes up, nobody is there to watch them argue, and so the regularly-scheduled show goes on.
In contrast, here, some people don’t understand that we are collectively creating a “show” about wrestling and good feelings, and that nobody is interested in watching them argue. It’s like going to a wedding. You can’t participate in and prolong an argument at the banquet tables. It would be selfish and “bad radio” and not understanding what sport you are playing.

Or it’s the offseason and this is what happens. Every. Year.
Exactly what I was thinking, F Iowa....Sometimes being off topic even becomes the topic.
When it comes down to the brass tacks as they say, Iowa is Iowa and will always be funny.Exactly what I was thinking, F Iowa....
they have a tough job... making you think they are not a minor league teamA couple threads were off the rail for me, I love the wrestling knowledge and inside info. Some threads are no big deal, just annoying, here is my example.
I'm a Pirate fan and I believe the Pirates have the worst announcers in major league baseball.
1. I want announcers who root for the team, I miss Bob Prince.
2, I want announcers to announce the ball game, the strategy, where the defense is playing, how big a lead is the runner is taking.
3. I don't want to listen to useless statistic after statistic, OK Hayes is 0 for 16 let's go hidden viggorish.
4. I turn the sound off when Bob Walk does color, he acts bored.
Not that it makes much of a difference, but it sounds like Sammy gun charges might be in question. The other charges are petty solid moving forward.
Update. All the charges are now in question. Reuters has updated their article:Not that it makes much of a difference, but it sounds like Sammy gun charges might be in question. The other charges are petty solid moving forward.

Do you two also say “Take the money and rub” ?My wife and I still use the word gub whenever we are referring to a gun.
People get busted in Columbus hotels for that.Do you two also say “Take the money and rub” ?![]()
