The reason I asked was to: 1) try to be funny; and 2) I recall everyone wondering if it was really him or not.
Tampering

Credit to @PAHURDLER and wino for some well done trolling on the only active thread on HR. And another shout out to @LaxHawk174 , you have a good sense of humor. And Zenrith, @Mike Zierath , I actually feel sorry for you.
Of all the nights to hit the sack early…should have popped some corn and cracked a bottle of Pappy in memory of the cesspool.
Remember when we needed threads about Iceland, and Sheetz vs WaWa, to keep us entertained during the off-season? I guess we wanted the sport to grow… well here we are, all grown up.
Spencer is quiet because he is contemplating his options. This is another check in the it's time to move on side.
I'm glad the "food" threads didn't disappear
It's kind of ironic that LLee was responsible for the temporary resurrection and the ultimate decline back into mediocrity of the Hawks. He delivered a 3" binder, Spencer and now this NIL and compliance gold. Easy to see why he went to Iowa when TnT let him do what he pleases. Not how Cael would have handled it. Spencer would have had a gold medal and 3 NCAAs by now.
Here’s to hoping and praying that Pat does NOT have numerous screen shots to prove/disprove that one!!
On HR those would be threads about eating their young.I'm glad the "food" threads didn't disappear
With supply chain issues at Stritmatter’s Young Guns, Larry probably felt he needed to be proactive and lean on other markets.
“Who put you on me?!” Still laughing at that one.
Do you really need for me to spell this out to you? OK, I will! Now is the time when we need you to step up to the plate brother. Pull yourself together, get out of this retirement rut, and show us how it's done, oh Godfather. We not only want, but we also yearn for your special services over HR. In times like these, you can't leave us in the rearview mirror. You have the ability and can be the voice of loving reason on HR. Your posts bring so much joy and viewing pleasure to both boards. So please don't leave us youngsters totally hanging and help us bring Christmas to HR this April. 😁
Wow. Thank you. Let me play with the numbers for a few days and get back to you. The Athletic department at PSU is already compensating me for negative campaign I have going on here on Nittany Nation and Twitter. I hate that I’m making this about the money but it’s about the money. I’m afraid if I take on another project now over on HR that it will affect my Social Security. Let me see if I can jumble a few things and somehow hide some income so I’m not affected…
I'd just like to make one thing clear. I realize the pleasure I'm taking in this is juvenile. I just want everyone to understand where that glee is directed. It is not directed at the team, the wrestlers, the coaches, the staff, or even 99.83% of all Hawkeye Nation. I think Mr. Lee had a lapse in judgement. When haven't any of us had a lapse? It doesn't make him any better or worse than any of us. I doubt the coaches asked for any of this. The team definitely didn't ask for any of this.
The pleasure is directed at the 0.17% of Hawkeye fans that for years have hurled vile insults and accusations at the coaching staff and even the families of PSU wrestlers. Accusations that held less than a thimble full of supporting evidence (zero actually) when compared to what has recently come to light. They are hypocrites of the highest order. And they don't even realize they are hypocrites. They are too blinded by jealousy and rage to have any self awareness.
I don't think we should be directing any of these chuckles we may have bubbling up towards, the team, the good fans of Hawkeye Nation, and especially the wrestlers and their families. They should be off limits to all.
Regarding the 0.17%...carry on.

As long as nobody offers any cell phone evidence on this one I’m good for now.
The legal term for this strain of argument is "too cute by half."
I have screenshots to disprove this one as well. 😂
Agreed, but my % would look a lot different than yours.😏
I'd settle for more like 83%.
Tikk and I and our fams will be in Iceland in July.. so that is still coming this offseason.. and with Tikk's photo skills I could see a long thread developing.. haha
I can get you a meeting with Tom, but you have to sign up on the portal first.
But, but, but everyone knows "fan is short for fanatic" and fanatic's state of mind is conducive to clear headedness.
Tampering is one of those Rashomon-like things where the same conversation, even if there was a transcript available, has multiple interpretations depending on where you sit, and you need a cross-examiner to tease out the upshot. Add in the fact that everyone is largely ignorant of the rules and it's easy to see how an innocent conversation about, say, vacation plans, can spin out into an NCAA violation. And that's why it's hard to investigate, because investigators ask questions about conversations and wind up with competing interpretations. Is Person A a liar? Is Person B ignorant? So the NCAA appears to have just thrown in the towel, even in football. And it gets even more slippery when it's not the coaches communicating but 'agents' (in the legal sense--i.e., someone with actual or apparent authority to act on behalf of the principal). If the principal doesn't know what the agents are up to, the principal is insulated.
Yes, as impossible as it sounds, an even better Iceland thread is in this board's future.
Here’s my thoughts on it all. I was banned over there countless times…not for breaking rules… but for trying to clean up everything their fans were doing to disparage opposing programs, coaches, athletes and pretty much the sport we all love. Instead of banning the idiots doing it, they decided they’d banthe one person over there constantly trying to clean it up. They’ve accused coaches of cheating, calling certain coaches scumbags for recruiting over kids, parents taking bribes and even student athletes of using steroids…and they did this without one shred of proof any of it was happening. Those people remained while they constantly banned the person trying to stop them from embarrassing the rest of their fanbase.
One by one, what they accused other programs of doing is now looking like their program may have been doing themselves. Had they cleaned out their forum of the shitheads doing all that instead of me, they now wouldn’t have a bunch of fans from other teams trolling them and bringing down the shit storm they deserve.
Ya know what, I’m just gonna say it. Those mods should be over here apologizing to me and granting my username (johnstownsteel) full access to their forum again. I told them their forum was becoming the laughingstock of the internet. I tried my best to stop it. They deserve what they get.

@PatMineo22 please accept my apology for likely being the first to use a variant of "micropenis." I did jokingly in the tHR thread asking whether you were the greatest D-bag, which was created shortly after you broke the news about Perry and Gilman leaving, and HWC female wrestling being defunded. Then tHR was still healing from your shots-fired in the Sam Stoll incident.
I have since learned some sources of insider information are much more credible than others. I'll take it on faith that you have the screenshots.
As restitution I am going to delete my offending posts, and I will gladly buy you dinner should we ever chance to meet at a wrestling event.
Also, please don't redirect any of your efforts to Penn State in retribution for my sin.
