The girl I was seeing at the time had a drunk Kerry Collins (but that's redundant), during the 1994 season, come up to her and use the "Do you know who I am?" line on her. She shut him down right away because she wasn't into dumb horse-toothed alcoholics, but these guys don't have much else going for them, so who can blame them for falling back on that?

But I think that's different than a guy forcing himself on a girl. Yeah, there's a shared level of entitlement/expectation there, I guess ... but there's another step in the depravity department you have to take to think that you're going to take it anyway, even if consent isn't given.

Why are you so offended by my statement, Karen? Is this the part where you bring up some nonsensical trash talk about Paterno?

You’re the trash talker. Emphsis trash.

I’m a school counselor, how do you know what I tell kids? If a kid walked in my office asking for help with their postsecondary plans and I said “follow your dreams,” they’d laugh and walk right back out. Hell, I’d probably laugh and walk out on myself too lol.

But I do have to say, it was a massive mistake for the government to push “college for all” from the 1980’s until recently. It was both Republican and Democrat administrations that did it and its consequences are wide ranging.

Btw, “guidance counselor” is an outdated term, it hasn’t been used in nearly 30 years.

I work in education and have been in multiple school systems and states. Everywhere I’ve worked they are called guidance counselors and their collective group is called the guidance department. That would be in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware and my cousin is a guidance counselor in North Carolina so that’s four states.

Also, one of the biggest complaints that I have with those guidance counselors is that many of them only tell the kids something like what the other poster mentioned, “ Follow your dreams” or something like that. Thankfully, now as someone who has an administrative type role, I can call them out about not giving a child the best rationale to guide their high school scheduling.

Why do we have a dozen posts discussing Ferrari's status? He could have 10 extra years and he's not winning another NC. He's going on 4 years of not wrestling since the last one which he won by threading the needle.

He wrestled last year and beat Glazier in OT. That's what you're looking at, it's not getting any better.

thanks for reading.

i think you guys are over reacting on the finals hth's. 1) listen to the rationales on the show 2) they are pretty insignificant in team point total

197 i'm taking a wait and see approach. Barr is my dude and i hope he crushes it. there just isn't a whole lot of data on him vs the guys in the field at 197.

overall, my preseason projections have this PSU team with the third highest point total OF ALL TIME.

so, ya know, let's put things in perspective here.

Love ya Willie, and don't have a problem with any of your predictions, they are rational - except one.

Carter Starocci is the most underrated wrestler in friggin history at this point. He hasn't lost since 2021 and he avenged that loss two weeks later winning a NC. Yeah, last year he was 4 weeks out from a severe knee injury and basically shut out the field that included 2 national champs.

He beat Nolf a couple of years ago and if the knee doesn't happen I'm betting he ends up in the best of 3 against Dake.

@smalls103 you've now joined the jokers I've been laughing at for months now wishing their way to picking a Keck win.

I guess we'll see in a couple of weeks, but I've got no doubt. It may not end up a major, but it will be a no doubt about it win.

The previous AD was criticized for not bringing in revenue. Now Kraft is being criticized for trying to bring in revenue.

Welcome to the new world of college sports. You can’t leave money on the table. It sucks, but if it brings in an extra few million dollars you have to do it.

The next thing we are going to see is Lehigh being ask to wrestle 3 out of 4 at the BJC and scheduling so 10 home meets are wrestled in the BJC every year.

Young people don't want to work in factories. I have a friend who is a painter who can't get kids to work for $20/hr because the work is too hard. They prefer to drive and deliver packages.

It doesn't help that guidance counselors tell kids to follow their dreams instead of finding a career where they can support themselves. How many music majors are working low paying jobs and complaining about student debt?

FWIW my kids are investing in their 401-k plan and maximizing the employer match. It's ridiculous to not do that. Unfortunately you'd be amazed how many people don't do that.

I was at game 1 of the Boston Red Sox vs St Louis Cardinals in 2013 at Fenway. It was pretty insane. Sat within about 3-5 rows of 2 Big Papi Home Runs…. Being a Phillies Fan I wore my Phillies Shane Victorino Jersey lol. The fans from both teams boo’d me. Great memories and a fun game to attend.

According to my source, Kraft offered additional commentary on this change today. This is NOT a direct quote from Kraft …. rather it is my friends recollection of what he said: “ Kraft is talking about this again today. The room is hostile about this but Kraft said PSU can bring in another 2 million dollars every year for wrestling. He said Sanderson was not initially on board with this either but he kept explaining that this is a revenue thing. Kraft said that wrestling people need to understand this or they will get their tickets dropped.“.

All about the money. Nothing about the tradition. Absolutely insane in my opinion, especially considering Cael is not/was not on board.
