It is?I'm not agreeing with his statement, because it's way off base. but the match points thing could have been influenced by the 3-point takedown.

Oohhh nice. Someone took this down the political path! Well done!I think some study of the correlation between Ferrari supporters and Trump supporters would be interesting.
I'd hypothesize that something like 90% of Anthony/AJ supporters are Trump supporters.
I'd also guess that a lower percentage of Trump supporters would support Anthony/AJ but it may still be over 50%. There may be a lot of rationalized support on this group.
And I think that the "Never Trump" faction is nearly certainly the "Never AJ in Black." Maybe 100% correlation.
This may require the services of @is_there_whiskey_in_heaven . He may have some free time now that WADA cleared Brooks and NIL has "leveled the playing field."
That match is an outlier. As much as I hate PSU wrestling, that is not how they wrestle the majority of their matches. Most of their guys, most of the time wrestle more the "old" Iowa style than most of the Iowa guys do. It is a sad state of affairs, but that's how it is.
Mine is not a troll position, so you’ll have to find another windmill to tilt at.I've been on the side of not being real excited about AJ wrestling for the Hawks, but the more you guys talk the more I'm starting to reconsider my opinion. It might be worth it just for the fact AJ would have a very legitimate shot of keeping Starboy from getting his 5th.
So is that just any random Amish?I'm a Republican who's been Never Trump since the day he announced his first candidacy by saying that Mexico is sending rapists and criminals to the US to get the bigots all worked up. I've voted Libertarian in the last two elections. As of right now, I'm leaning towards writing in Justin Amash.
Bro, about the last thing Iowa fan needs from Penn State fan is a lecture on morality. Seriously.You want a serious answer? Get your head out of your backside and realize the Ferraris are poison. What don't you understand about them? You come across as someone with few morals, and anything goes. What more can they do to convince you to step back from the cliff? Walk away from the Ferraris. YOU'RE WELCOME!
He didn't really want to mix it up from beginning to end with Kem. Pretty sure he wouldn't be taking on that strategy with an AJ Ferrari.Outdated thinking. Carter could go forever with a good cut. He’s not going to suddenly stand still at 197 and let AJ take one shot at the 6:45 mark for the win.
All revolutions aren't alike, and change does not equal revolution. Being "overdue" for a revolution is like being overdue for cancer. Some of us get through one and are better for the experience. Many fare worse. You really want to rewrite our constitution? Or do a better job of living up to it. I'm for the latter. The "Regan Revolution" was an example of reform.The US government is one of the oldest in the world, now- only a handful of countries (like less than 5) haven’t had a revolution or changed forms since 1776. We are overdue.
If most revolutions were worse, then most governments would be worse off than 1776. The British changed from a monarchy to a strong parliament system for instance. Change isn’t always bad.
Starocci was absolutely coached up to not push back or into Kemerer at all. Every step Kem takes forward Star takes one backwards. That was the game plan and then pick your one shot when you stop backpedaling. They knew from the first match that Star couldn't trade shots with Kem and come out on top so this is what they came up with. I wish our coaches could do some of this but oh well.....That match is an outlier. As much as I hate PSU wrestling, that is not how they wrestle the majority of their matches. Most of their guys, most of the time wrestle more the "old" Iowa style than most of the Iowa guys do. It is a sad state of affairs, but that's how it is.
I absolutely hate that match (and Starfish), but that was what he needed to do to win that match. Kemerer was the better wrestler, but wrestled a tight match, and Star wrestled smart (I hate to admit that).
Not sure what you're trying to say here.Mine is not a troll position, so you’ll have to find another windmill to tilt at.
One is a national champ, the other crumbled in March. Don’t act like AJ didn’t stand at the top of the podium, like him or notDidn't our Non-AA 197lbr beat AJ, yet somehow AJ is going to be Star? I'm confused.

I get this sentiment, but the answer is actually no. AJ won that match and was never in danger of losing.Didn't our Non-AA 197lbr beat AJ, yet somehow AJ is going to be Star? I'm confused.
Why do I give a shit about:Splits/flip off = AJ
Anal photo shoot = Anthony
Revenge flex/cut throat gesture at Blair coach = Angelo
Some say Angelo, the youngest, isn’t like the others. My opinion is the above suggests he, as well, has the ahole gene, but as he is just finishing high school hasn’t had the freedom yet to achieve the more serious transgressions of his older siblings.
You're legit, my friend. I've got a ton of respect for you and some other PSU fans who frequent the site. But some of these "rookie" trolls who change their names every other day because they're afraid to stand behind their comments...they get old quick.Mine is not a troll position, so you’ll have to find another windmill to tilt at.
The problem in that match wasn’t our coaching. The problem is they allow bs wrestling like that to happen.Starocci was absolutely coached up to not push back or into Kemerer at all. Every step Kem takes forward Star takes one backwards. That was the game plan and then pick your one shot when you stop backpedaling. They knew from the first match that Star couldn't trade shots with Kem and come out on top so this is what they came up with. I wish our coaches could do some of this but oh well.....
Then...why are you here? Isn't the mere notion of you still remaining here despite what you wrote about Iowa fans, the definition of trolling? Is that not hypocritical?Have you ever stopped to think that the hate and anger on this forum has gone over the top, even for a cesspool? Hell, you guys are even saying the same thing to vhsalum. "What happened to you vhs?" The amount of instantaneous venom coming from some on the board is unbelievable. But go ahead and blame the messenger(s).
Some on this forum have lost their moral compass in the pursuit of winning. You can win without the AJ types, and one can accept money from a donor and still call him out for what he posts online. He is no better than anyone else. When PSU took on Andrew Long, that was a mistake for all the reasons stated by many here. Why aren't I allowed to be honest in return about Tom, Bob, and AJ without the personal attacks? Everyone has opinions. That's all they are.
I may have misread your post …Not sure what you're trying to say here.
You posted a comment and I posted a reply back.
Pretty straight forward, troll or not.
Then fire your damn coach if he’s lowering his moral standards. What in the hell are you people standing for? Is winning so important that you’d look past bad acts? Where are the men on this forum? Do any remain?
Andrew long was a bad decision. I didn’t like it. Are any of you willing to say the same about Ferrari?
Hope AD a smart enough to see this. He will make Iowa worse no matter how good he does on the mat.BS. AJ has no business even being considered. His display at the Soldier salute sealed that.
He will never have the necessary attitudinal discipline to do what it takes to be on this team. Just let it go.I think AJ has regressed and or not improved much in the last 3 years.
So many thought he was going to be unbeateable because he looked great vs Amine
he is prbly also not natty, which is a pet peeve of mine in this sport, but if he's gonna be a Hawkeye than so be it.
Totally agree, AJ walks around at about 220, Star adding 23 pds. Star only beat Nelson by one point with 2 legs, and almost lost to Kem with a badly injured shoulder. He’s not going to major AJ, who manhandled his way through 197 as true freshman. He has always been hard to score on, and he isn’t a big scorer, so this match will be very close if it happens. He’s probably the only guy with a good shot at stopping Star, with Buchanan having an outside shot. They have more in common than you think. Both are shit talking arrogant bible thumpers that many people don’t like, with similar wrestling styles.I think you’re severely underestimating how tough a 25 pound jump would be at this level. Carter wasn’t destroying top-level guys at 174, so for you to just confidently assume he would ‘maul’ a previous NCAA champ at 197 is crazy.
It would be a very close match if it were to happen. I would still pick Carter with AJ not competing for 2.5 years, but he wouldn’t be putting up a bunch of points on AJ, that I’m sure of.
Don't kid yourself! AJ will piss-pound StarFish IF( and that is a BIG IF) he can get back on the mat FULL TIME! The StarFish will be on the same special "diet" as several other F*** st wrestlers from the recent past. Will not help him at 197 against a REAL 197!Totally agree, AJ walks around at about 220, Star adding 23 pds.

Guess I missed all those wars Trump started or happened under his tenure .Revolutions are a crapshoot. Historically, they end up with something even worse most of the time. Reform is slow, painful, and requires continual attention and effort, but it's the only way to get any lasting results. Governments will never be nimble. Our Founding Fathers gave us the best framework that they could, given the times and tech that they had. They couldn't have foreseen all the issues that we confront today, including clusters of power and wealth, modern media, and social structures.
Never-Trumper here. Giving this much power (again) to such a frightening little turd is a recipe for losing what the Founding Fathers bequeathed us. Sort of like wrestling: First we have to win tonight's match, then we figure out how to get back on track for the rest of the season. Writing in some nobody gives the match to the little turd. Not gonna do that, even if the other fool leaves much to be desired. Also not voting for congressmen and senators who kiss any rings. They all need to grow a pair pretty damn soon.
I cut weight for lifting all my life. It was easy as an adult because I wasn’t going too low, but as a 19 yo old I went from 142 to 132 over 12 weeks then up to 149 in four. It’s very easy to move from say 190 to 197 which is probably what starocci will do .Totally agree, AJ walks around at about 220, Star adding 23 pds.

Ford Focus hasn’t seriously wrestled for some time , he’s been busy concentrating on crappy lockout squats and big pulls using straps .Don't kid yourself!

once you hit three pages in any given thread, the likelihood of someone going political reaches about 83%Oohhh nice. Someone took this down the political path! Well done!
Uh, I have a bet on the table that you conveniently deflected before you were given a time out. It's still on the table if you really think that.Don't kid yourself!

Honestly, Carter would pound Ferrari at his current weight. Hidlay would have handled him this year if he could have found his way on the mat and Carter is competitive with Hidlay giving up 20 pounds.
Is that you @McScoreley ? I'll never be quite sure again after that impression you dropped on HVI.
Not nearly enough CAPS. Your slipping.Don't kid yourself! AJ will piss-pound StarFish IF( and that is a BIG IF) he can get back on the mat FULL TIME! The StarFish will be on the same special "diet" as several other F*** st wrestlers from the recent past. Will not help him at 197 against a REAL 197!
^^^In similar boat. Our options are poor but even considering the ages of potential candidates, I still believe status quo to be the lesser of two evils. IMO Trump puts himself ahead of ALL - democracy, America, taxes, Fidelity, honesty, the law, social norms, etc, etcSimilar. I’ve voted for people on both sides of the isle but I would consider myself a never Trumper, because I can’t trust his ego or temper when talking to foreign diplomats.
On the flip side I can’t trust Biden now either. Most days whenever politics comes up I just sit quietly and wonder why two better options haven’t been presented to us.
One of the signers of the Declaration of Independence once said that the document was a great start but it would require a revolution every two generations to make sure this new form of govt didn’t eat itself from within. By my count we are well past due on that revolution, but I’m not smart enough to lead it, nor clever enough to know what’s worth fighting for in regards to change. So I turn to wrestling, my first love, and disengage from giving a shit.
That wasn't a revolution either, nor a reform.Guess I missed all those wars Trump started or happened under his tenure .
He just bootlicks Putin. That should be enough. Why do we want a president that is friends with dictators? Kim Jong and Putin.Guess I missed all those wars Trump started or happened under his tenure .
You're still butt hurt about that? Good times lol.Remember when @A Fist Full of Hawkeyes called me ridiculous last week for pointing out this PSU troll’s hypocrisy?
Good times lol.
Lol butt hurt - just thought it was hilarious how you actually got butt hurt, overreacted to a joke, and jumped in to attack and Iowa fan and white knight a f’n PSU troll.You're still butt hurt about that? Good times lol.
You’re a f****** MoranHe just bootlicks Putin. That should be enough. Why do we want a president that is friends with dictators? Kim Jong and Putin.
Desantos antics were due to his autism. Ferrarris is by choice.One interesting thing I have noticed. Desanto crushes your narrative.
