Well, you are pretty much dead to me here. Just take the loss. When you argue with someone, proven wrong and ultimately enlightened, the general response is to say thank you. Since I have provided enough examples of how the word "grief can be used, not "grieve", Google too can be your friend.

Unless of course you are trying to unseat MSU for being the most argumentative.

I’m glad someone finally stepped in and said it!!

As an English teacher, I can’t take this any longer. There were no grammatical errors in @el dub original post that you felt the need to chime in & correct

Stupid thing to do on a message board even if there WAS an error, but I’m just saying, he’s not the one who needs to “just take the loss”

I’m sorry to give you so much grief, and I will certainly grieve for you and the embarrassment this post may have caused, but it was really driving me nuts

Thanks for proving my point and it was him who corrected mine initially.

Since you are a so called English teacher - then read better.

Boy…Ben Kueter….pretty solid freshman campaign since committing to wrestling. Put on some solid weight to give the big boys a run. Should have a decent path to AA on the front or back with a top 8 seed. Could end up 4th with a solid tournament…This is a Ben Kueter thread right?

 

[IAChief32]

Maybe griefing? Lol. Just being a smart ass. Let's talk politics and religion next . That reminds me. What ever happened to "is there vodka in heaven"? Good poster years ago, but dam, the last few years he kind of went down a rabbit hole. Bit off subject, but I've not seen a post from him for quite some time now.

He got scorched earth banned during Covid.

Ahh, sorry. I didn’t see that part. I read just fine, thanks. I just don’t read every single post that’s made because I don’t live on this forum, dude.

Then don’t take a sarcastic pot shot trying to make a point, dude.

You mean, he was serious?

Good Grief man! We are talking about Grammar! on the internet! No time for BK

So you think the word "grief" can only be used to define sorry or heartbreak? You have never heard of the informal use of grief such as "he gave me grief about my use of the word grief?" Since you are the professional English teacher, tell me again how this is wrong? Or maybe once again you didn't read the entire chain correctly? The original post that El Dub criticized used it in this manner, not in the feel sorrow and pain for f'n David Taylor mode. Good Grief!

1. informal
   criticize or make trouble for someone.
   "he gave me grief about typos"

Seriously? I never criticized anyone’s grammar, as far as I recall.

Grief - not grieve.

tOSU doesn't get nearly enough grief for their lack of development.

Why would we grieve an opponent’s lack of success?

To grieve is the verb. Grief is a noun (El Dub)

And as I told you several times, it was not used that way with the initial post, but in the informal context, which is again, to annoy and irritate. I very simply pointed out that the initial use of the word grief was OK and it went from there.

So, you started the grammar policing, right?

Omg there's no way you two are still going on this.

Good grief!

 

[wrestlecrazy]

Placing in the top 6 would be a very good season for BK. IMO

Trust me. I want no part in this. I thought he was joking the entire time.

 

[12tdsaw]

i love my grammer, may she rest in peace

 

[Spoons]

Do we want BK in the 6th seed now that Hendrickson may have injured his right hand? Assume Wyatt is 3rd.

I think Hendrickson is the 3 Schultz is the 4 where they go from there is anybody’s guess. Hoping for the 5 but likely going to be 6-9.

Schultz has taken losses to multiple people no way he’s ahead of Kirk or Trephan

 

[DeangeloVickers]

How is a guy 5’8” and maybe 220 lbs a lot better than we have now?

Wait a minute, are you seriously suggesting Cass is 5'8?

 

[Inspiteofourselves]

I think if BK reached the podium it’s a successful season. He’s an undersized freshman in a very deep and loaded with seniors, weight class. I’ll predict he takes 6th or 7th.

I agree. Top 6 would be great.

Well he got the 5 seed so I say top 5 would be even better!

 

[SPOONER]

No.

 

[vhsalum]

Kueter with a very clear path to the semis. Beating Feldman for a third time doesn't sound fun, but if he gets one takedown it's over.

Have to be able to beat a guy like Trephan.

 

[eb05]

absolutely. this is the toughest hwt bracket OF ALL TIME. It would be a hell of a year

 

[DeangeloVickers]

No.

So who is the 5' 8" 220 lb training partner you were referring to?

 

[WhiteDog125]

All-American'ing would be a very impressive feat. Unreal weight class. Can't wait for it to clear out.

 

[SPOONER]

The point was that he's awfully small for a heavyweight, especially these days. It was an exaggeration for effect, intentionally so. Not sure I exaggerated much on his weight based on when I saw him recently.

If you don't think he's short in stature and weight vs. the best heavies in college, I don't know what to tell you.

Nice redirect but yeah, calling him 5'8" is pretty odd. He's not close to that height and certainly not short by heavyweight standards.
He's as tall or taller than Gable and Snyder so your final point is a swing and a miss.

 

[LIV4GOD]

Good grief!

Wait a minute here. Is this the informal context? I'm confused.

Tony is maybe 5’11”. Gable has him by a few inches. Snyder is similar height but he’s also Kyle Snyder. Now do literally 75% of all other heavies. And regardless Tony is just plain small compared to heavyweights. If you think differently you clearly haven’t seen him lately.

The point is and has been that Ben is never going to be one of the biggest guys and this is best served by full sized heavyweight practice partners, not guys smaller/lighter than he is.

If he gets one more year like the last as far as size goes I don’t think anybody bullies him. That would put him in the 250’s.

So you are saying that ne needs a partner the size of a guy like....Bobby Telford...
