I hear ya there brother. The older I get the more often my nagging injuries arise and the longer they stay. Hitting 76 sucks!!

My list was solely one of a fan’s perspective of corner personas. I’d happily send my kid to any of those programs. Maybe not Terry.
Always felt the boys in Columbus are in that category as well.
think that is why wrestling is such a good sport, builds character and accountability. Two things we're seemingly missing in a lot of people/kids these days
141 is pretty wide open (not like 125 of course...), especially with Woods struggling a bit. Beau is a deserving #1, but not a dominant one like Starocci or Brooks. Guys like Hardy or Mendez or Echemendia/Jack outside the B1G definitely have a chance to sneak in and steal it. This is one of the weights I am most looking forward to at nationals.
Maybe I’m not that plugged in online, but i don’t think I’ve seen much if any heat directed towards Beau himself. Aren’t most people complaining about the stoppage by the official? Beau didn’t call for injury time. The official did and made him take it after. What’s the difference between that and the Davis-Kilkeary situation?
Complaining about a bad call isn’t a personal attack on the wrestler.
Some guy on the Iowa board said faked the injury to get the PD, but after my 27 upcoming posts with colored glossy youtube clips with circles and arrows and annotation on the timestamp of each one, he'll see the light of day
There's always wing-nuts, and some definitely were claiming Beau faked it all to escape the loss. The takes I have the hardest time with are the ones contributing the ongoing narrative that the refs are in kahoots with Cael. Which isn't to say there's not a home-mat advantage in some refereeing--but that's universal, IMO--at least w/ big crowds. Burroughs' takes in particular were weaksauce, and unfortunately the dude has massive reach.....

That may be true, but his "strategy adjustments" are an affront to the fundamental rules of the sport and should not be tolerated. By not calling this clear form of Stalling (wrestling on the edge, or even from fully OB, with your back towards OB) the Official is giving one wrestler a massive advantage - IOW, rewarding their Stalling strategy which is absurd as the wrestler who is supposed to be "rewarded" in this situation is the more Offensive/Aggressive wrestler (so the Official is doing the diametric opposite of what the rules call for when he does not call Stalling and rewards the stalling wrestler.).
I'm definitely not plugged in online, but Husker Hank said "Bartlett was feigning knee injury" on this very thread (see post 358).
I don’t live there, but I hear mainstream social media (twitter and such) can quickly morph into a virtual stoning. Even these message boards give a taste of it. Not surprised at all that Beau would be attacked for perhaps benefiting from a ref’s call. Stonethrowers care little about why they even picked up the rock. They just love defenseless targets.
In many ways, humans amaze. Mob mentality isn’t one of them. Sadly, this is just that.
I also noticed our old friend jmadden1998 was in agreement with Hank. Gave him a big thumbs up. Typical of GIA ilk !!
Well, Husker Hank is an idiot.
All of the major figures I've seen talking about it on twitter (Burroughs for example), directed their frustration towards the official, not Bartlett.
Haha! I actually didn’t really pay attention to the “feigned injury” part. I 100% don’t think Beau had anything to do with the stoppage.
That's the problem with you plastic.....err Iowa Fans.............

@js8793 and Jmadden1998: I must say that when you two (and there are others) visit our forum, you're always respectful. I for one dont mind a little bit of ball busting from opposing fans but I have zero tolerance for the obnoxious ones that visit......and that goes for both fan bases on both forums.
You two guys are welcomed at my campfire any day of the week.
that is all.
carry on.

And that’s why AJ Ferrari stands out so much - if he played football, for example, being such a shitstain wouldn’t be as discordant with his sporting peers
I'd add Nashville Hawkeye and jrod65 to your list.
If you believe noticing who is in agreement and supports a post that declares one of our wrestlers faked an injury to obtain an unfair advantage is being obsessed with you, then you are very likely a guy/gal that spends an inordinate amount of time preening in front of a mirror. I admit I don't have a large sample size, but you are obviously a GIA bottom Feeder. A somewhat polished Bottom Feeder,but a Bottom Feeder all the same. Cut from the same bolt of cloth as many others who beat the cheating drum on GIA.
I have known Brock since he was in middle school and showing up at high school wrestling camps. He has always been a great kid. One summer between his 7th and 8th grade year he showed up to camp a day late as he was coming back from a big national tournament that he had won. My son was a year older but about the same weight and they were rolling around. Brock hit his little slide by and then slowed it down and showed my son how he did it. A little later my son it a double from a russian tie that he then showed Brock. I was impressed how 2 boys from different schools in different states would take time to help each other. I will never root against the kid. He is funky and not afraid to mix it up with some of the best. He and Sasso had some great Fargo matches over the years. Brock went to the same HS as Lucas Cochren. Easy to see the quality kids that they are in how they were brought up. Brock has several older brothers he couldn't help but remain humble. His high school coach and my boys HS coach were cousins so they did a camp together in the summers.
Jrod for sure, and in the past I would have added Nashville but he has posted some off the rails stuff recently so he gets no invitation to the campfire.
73 here with terminal cancer don't know how long I got but given it my all!
Damn. Sorry to hear that. Fight the good fight and don't give up.
thanks and am doing just that!
Oh Man!! Like my buddy Pitteefool said. Keep fighting brother. Always remember that no night's so long that you cant find the day. I'll be praying for you brother.
Brock actually served his mission in the same place that my grandson served. Different years, but they probably walked the same roads. He is a fine young man.
A thumbs up from me for the use of discordant in your post : ) As for me, I think the combination of AJ's poor behavior with his constant quoting of Scripture is incongruous.
thanks to all the people looking out for me!
I've managed to dodge it so far. I served in '68. Pittefool served in the early 70's I believe. We met up years ago when each of our sons had a wrestling meet way back in their elementary school days. Wouldnt you know it, we've even ran into each other when our grandsons wrestled too.
If ya need a shoulder or an ear......let me know bud.
Just like PR said. If you ever want to chew the fat; let me/us know.
Me and a few other vets meet once a month at a local Arby's. I don't know if you have anything like that where you're residing or not. Look into it, it's wonderful therapy.
Are you living in PA??
And yes, I graduated HS in '69 and got in country in May of '70.
We are with you my brother. This isn't pure quakerie, but given where you stand, why not give it a shot. I would like to see your posts here for another decade. This doctor has a number of videos on the subject the other heath benefits are obvious as well. Try this starting next week and give us a holler during the Olympics with the results.
