Obviously it's not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturer of dairy products.
I don’t cringe when athletes talk religion. I cringe when they can only talk about religion and nothing else and bring it in as an answer to questions to the point that they don’t answer the question.
Reporter: Pitcher A has a great curve ball and then sun is straight away in centerfield during this day game which might make it hard to pick up the spin. How are you going to adjust?
What hitter A is doing: Instead of standing with my back foot on the back line of the batter’s box, I am going to move forward with my front foot on the front line of the batter’s box to try and make contact with the ball a little closer to its break point.
What hitter A answers: I prayed on it last night and God will give me the answer, as he will give to anyone that accepts Jesus in their life. He will provide you the answers in your life too if you pray and ask him for help. It is through his grace that this beautiful sun shines today.
Next question, rinse and repeat. Blah, blah, blah. I find them boring drones as individuals and pretty much tune them out almost immediately. Religion is important but you are allowed to have other interests in life.

Agree with the upset guys here. Big fan of the PSU wrestlers, but it pisses me off when they talk and I find out they’re not just like me. Different beliefs, mannerisms, etc. My whole life I’ve been running into this problem.

I don’t know how many of these posters are in the room or team members to know the dynamics of the people involved, but theres a lot of opinions
Unfortunately,
When you have a fan base that wins, it grows! And as it grows, it evolves. And the opinions will vary when left to speculation. I respect Aaron for going public on Basch to clear some of the air. Cael doesn’t do media and I respect that. Not all fans will though.
At the end of the day, we are ALL wrestling fans. We got to see big news this week. We got to see dynamics change, people move on and others fill the void of their one time mentors. People talk about wrestling wayyyyyyy more than ever before.
Aaron and any of the PSU guys religion beliefs should never be questioned or criticized. But they will, because people can’t look in the mirror. They cast their own insecurities on others. And I’ve been a culprit of that myself. All of us fall short of whatever God we serve.
Gilman seems to have grown up quite a bit. He even admitted that he was very immature while he was at Iowa. He said he had nothing but respect for Spencer, and if he lost to him, he'd wish him well. This was in his interview prior to his matches with Spencer.
This is just out of curiosity, as I don't remember. I think it was mentioned, but, I can't find it. Who was in Brooks corner and who was in DT's corner. Again, I"m just curious.
I honestly don't care if DT did say something in anger about the "test". DT & AB will always be PSU legends in my mind. I will root for both of them at anything they do. I will root for Oklahoma State any time they aren't wrestling PSU, as long as DT is there.

If I recall - I think Brooks had Bo and I can't recall who else while DT had Casey and Varner. Just remember making note that Cael wasn't in either... Anyone confirm if my eyes deceived me?
Except for @mcpat. One of his gods is apparently a fight fan and doles out special blessings for the haymakers. Or something like that.
Im a wrestling fan too. They are human. They will make mistakes. Accountability is part of the learning process. I say that for DT and AB and his coaches. We move on and hopefully improve. We are ..
I made a table of who cornered whom at OTT, check it here, at the bottom.
Finally got to listen to the whole Basch podcast with AB. Man, there are a lot of people really straining to stoke controversy here.
And by here I don’t mean this board, I mean the wrestling ecosystem at large.

Thx. I need to update the note there—I did update the data to be complete. It looks better on desktop than mobile. A mini OTT stats article is coming soon too.
Just posted on iowa forum. D** k h**d vodka shooting off about it. Ask about what meds desanto taking. He of course said it wasn't relevant, because he didn’t get pop for it lol. Guess i should have said he has to win international to get tested. Usually don’t post there anymore, you cant have a real discussion on that board. Getting hard to here as well.
Where in my post did I say anything about how I live my OWN life, my OWN thoughts and my OWN beliefs???? Ummm... I was talking about why Aaron does what he does and he's made it very clear why he does what he does. He lives for his God.... not you or anyone else. Simply put, he's not looking for acceptance from the "world" ....a world that you seem to think should matter to him more than his God.
If you'd like to know my thoughts and opinions though I'll gladly share them with you...just need to ask. I'll say this though, I've ALWAYS made sure to position myself where NO ONE becomes between me and my God. No job, boss, co workers, family, friends.....NO ONE. My eternity means far more to me than some paycheck. It means more to me than being accepted in this life. And it certainly means far more to me than being accepted at your firm.

Is he sponsored by White Claw?Except for @mcpat. One of his gods is apparently a fight fan and doles out special blessings for the haymakers. Or something like that.
1. Okay, let me mention a few excuses: (a) Like you mentioned, Glazier for the 2nd time. I believe Big 10's the first time. (b) his close win against Romero he implied politics. (c) The Coleman loss he had problems with his body and some school difficulty. (d) Mirasola taking him down he implied a tough weight cut. (e) complained about not properly being given two against Zahid when he won off of a singlet pull that most definitely didn't affect the match. (f) his last loss to DT he doesn't believe he was exposed in a close match.
2. He was very condescending to DT and really, non-believers everywhere. He essentially says that he and DT have very different viewpoints, and if DT can't see the light now, his heart is just hardened, and sad, etc. I think he also called people ignorant.
3. Paranoid. He said DT's guys were manipulating the room for their benefit. He also implied that DT leaked his prescribed drug incident...and made a judgment on his character.
4. He was very passive aggressive with DT. Hell, he even implied that DT may be taking the heat off of himself losing to AB by taking the OSU job.
5. Go to (3) above. He essentially blamed DT for the leak.
6. religion, to each their own. I do find it off-putting when he makes judgments on non-believers and calls them sad and having a hardened heart if they can't see his viewpoints.
Appreciate the conversation. Again, I absolutely love how he wrestles. One of my favorites of all-time (wrestling style). But for a person who tries to be humble, he sure failed the test in my eyes and appeared petty.
What is the purpose of all of this?
To bring Kardashian-fan, mean-girl, unwritten-rule, fault-finding culture to this board? 🧐
Listen, saw the podcast and was disappointed. Not a huge deal, but I thought it was worth mentioning. AB is young and not perfect. I don't think treating him as such is proper or helps him. Said my peace, done with this post.
Maybe you can share your GIA best practices with @Folkstylefan? Because it sounds like he jumped into the tiger cage while wearing a raw meat suit.
You guys able to see the Northern Lights last night?
My wife told me that the potential to see them here in central PA was at 10pm and 2am. I didn't bother trying to see because of the heavy cloud cover and rain. I'm also fighting a hell of an ear infection that has me all messed up and killing my desire to do much. How about you?
Nothing on my end either, unfortunately.
Yeah complete cloud cover. It was same with the eclipse as well. Did get a couple quick pics between the cloud breaks but sure would have been nice for a clear day.
