2 Things

All this talk of pastries has gotten my sweet tooth wanting an apple fritter.

Aren't there rules that if we mention holes we have to provide pictures? Or is that something else?

I find the word "hole" disrespectful of the wrestler manning the weight. He may not be a stud, and he may not be a high AA at any point in his career, but he is giving of himself every day for four or five years on the mat, in the weight room, and in the dining hall to compete for our respective schools. That means much more to me than whether they earned 2 points or 20 points at nationals. They each represent us.

Yesterday, PSU lost Garrett Hammond to Drexel. He started a few matches for us a couple years ago, but couldn't beat out teammates more recently. I recall some of our posters calling him a hole in the lineup at the time. I cringed every time reading that. Come to find out that Garrett is graduating this summer in only 3 years!!, and will spend his last two years of eligibility at Drexel as a grad student. So while some saw him as hole in the lineup, the young man is certainly not a hole in the game of life, and we should all remember that.

You find the word "hole" disrespectful" because posters think of you as an "asshole"

Lol. Trolling me on two forums.

And, of course, we all know a donut without a hole is a danish. Thus, Iowa needs to become a danish.

However...a flute with no holes, is still a flute...

A Bismark or Bearclaw would taste good right now.

I am sure Mr. Lambertt could use a ding dong about right now with all that built up anger... I mean pastry of course..

I don't care much for PSU posters on this board (with exceptions, like Johnstown), but this is a very good post, and some of what I meant to say in my post but didn't. We need to come up with a decent term to refer to guys in the lineup who aren't likely to stand on the podium at NCAAs, but who are still better than a large majority of wrestlers in the country.
