Hey! I gave to DD (his story is a great one, btw), maybe you folks want to help out Frank the Tank, too.

Shouldn't he qualify the weight before accepting funds to go to Rio?

 

[pablow]

I was watching Nashville and Anaheim (hockey) last night and saw Ryan Getzlaf arrive at the arena in a Lamborghini. I thought to myself - no thanks, I prefer Daniel Dennis.

Thought it already was.

 

[pablow]

Thought it already was.

65kg and 86kg aren't qualified. Although the NBC broadcast team was very confusing on this point. [I think we'll get 86kg qualified; 65kg I'm not nearly as confident]

If all the major powers are qualified at 65, then I think Frank can get it done.

On the latest episode of the TRow and Funky show podcast, they said a lot of the top guys still need to qualify their spot at 65 and Molinaro might have a difficult time qualifying.

don't bag on souci for the 5 dollars if everyone who goes to carver for iowa wrestling gave $5 then they would have $ 80000(16000 times 5)

Only two of the top 20 wrestlers in the world rankings at 65kg have yet to qualify their countries. #'s 11 and 20. A couple 61kg and 70kg guys may try to qualify at 65kg, but that isn't ideal for them obviously. Then you have a few unranked guys that are good. He has a decent chance, but he'll have to earn it.

Don't disrespect TRow and Funky.

I'm only bringing facts. I don't know what they said. Half of the top 20 isn't allowed to compete in these qualifiers because they have teammates who already qualified the weight.

Done.

OMG - he needs a gofundme page and he needs to lose that photo. [I'll contribute]

You can contribute generally through the NLWC.

Judging by some of the latest ones, people have figured out they can use any name they want. Looking at names, amounts and remarks, some people are having a lot of fun with this, albeit somewhat distastefully. Haven't got mine in yet, the boss hasn't approved my purchase request, and I'm out of personal funds after NYC and OTT.

 

[ichawks]

Well lookie here, Sans and his mini-posse contributed a double cheeseburger meal to the Dennis family.
I think he's teachin' the young'uns if you want to be stingy on the mat, you got to be stingy in life.

Don't disrespect TRow and Funky.

What is "TRow and Funky"?? Sounds like some lame radio DJs somewhere.

It's Ben Askren and Tommy Rowlands' podcast. I've only listen to the most recent episode about the ott. It was pretty good imo, but I don't know if I could get used to listening to Askren.

Souci is not a real person. He's a gag and his $5 donation is a gag. Lighten up.

NLWC! I'm not paying for Retherford's books.

You must have missed the button where it allows you to contribute to his student debt repayment upon graduation in lieu of book buying.

 

[wasdt21]

pa blow maybe you shoujd lighten up, I was just pointing out that only 300 some people have donated when we get over 15000 people at some home meets

I haven't given a dime yet. I spend enough on my kids and their athletics. Wrestling, soccer, baseball, gymnastics, football and their fishing gear. I'm good.

Hoping you'll consider coming to our room after Rio...we have a BIG hole when it comes to the lower weights. Kick some ass down there!!

[akaoni]

Is it just be or is $11 for shipping and handling a little outrageous? I'm happy to support DD, but damn, CK must really have poor profit margins if they have to gouge that much with S&H.

It evens out when you order ten shirts at a time...

 

[WildTurk]

BUMP for the Wildman! Come on HR let's donate another round for our Hawkeye!

 

[WildTurk]

Also can we please pin this at the top of the page until RIO? 6 weeks and 5 pages in is a deep departure for this important thread.

Get the Gold Danimal! 2016!

Lol. Danimal? That's perfect. Did you make that up or see it somewhere?

"Danimal....part man..part beast.."

It applies very well to Dennis, but it was earlier used often for Dan Erickson, a 197-pounder who bulked up to heavyweight for the Hawks a while back and was a key national championship team performer.

 

[Pennstate1985]

Glad to see the Dennis family reached their goal. Received $23k in donations. Goal was $20k.
