This is 100% a true story, but if my wife ever finds out I shared it with this Board I am toast! Background: My wife was a non-sexually active youngish lady who had led a conservative life and was quite ignorant when it came to issues of sex. She had a horse that she wanted to live-breed and the owner of the stallion was going to facilitate the breeding. The stallion's owner asked my wife to go to the drug store to get some KY jelly. My wife had been checking out the KY offerings for quite some time when a male employee asked if she needed any help. My wife: "Is this the largest size you have?" Employee: "Well, how much do you need?" My wife: "A lot more than this. It is for a stud." Employee: "I bet he is!"
The way I heard it, the employee replied “Hung like a horse, eh!” <rimshot>... My wife: "Is this the largest size you have?" Employee: "Well, how much do you need?" My wife: "A lot more than this. It is for a stud." Employee: "I bet he is!"
One of the girls we hung out with in college got caught shoplifting KY from McLenahan's -- by one of my roommates. He was the cashier and let her pay without incident ...This is 100% a true story, but if my wife ever finds out I shared it with this Board I am toast!

That is, until the next time we all got together. Another roommate asked her if she brought any peanut butter. She looked at him confused.
"To go with your jelly."

Jim Carlson so everything is good, but the best part is the bottom section titled STEER CLEAR OF CASEY CUNNINGHAM.

That still brings a chill, a happy tear and a non-stop smile.
That is what he does!
An interesting thing about the end of the clip, he throws his head gear in the excitement. As the referee is raising his hand an circling him around he looks at his corner and apologize for it. A class act guy all around.
I think he apologized because the ref stupidly deducted a team point because of the throw. He was sorry he coat the team a point, not that it even mattered.
This is behind the Rokfin paywall and is a fun quick 5 questions with Cael, but interesting thing is that PSU used the Central Baptist College wrestling room for a practice (I think today) as the NCAA venue does not open up until 5 pm.
I believe they are actually at Christian Brothers College High School in Creve Coeur, MO.
That would make sense. Cael has a relationship there already, having recruited Josh Saunders. (And it's not like Cornell is there to claim it first.) (Though Brands could've too -- Henson was there between years at Waynesburg.)
Plus smart long-term move -- Christian Brothers is a powerhouse program that routinely sends starters to D1 schools.
Quite the delimma Cael just put some of you silly Pennsylvanians in. When asked if it is "State or States", he replied State.
Is Cael wrong
OR
is it really "State" and you have been wrong your entire life???
Good luck sleeping tonight
This proves one thing. Cael can be wrong. And, I'll sleep like a baby tonight.Quite the delimma Cael just put some of you silly Pennsylvanians in. When asked if it is "State or States", he replied State.

And good luck ever seeing Spencer at the Olympic.
I take the safe path and call it the state tournament. Or in this case, Olympic games. That way I can still make fun of either side, depending on the situation.

He won national four times in four tries and went on to win gold at Olympic ... who am I to tell him what to call states?
It's Man, because he is married to Olympian weightlifter Tara therefore strongest person would not apply. Not even in his own household.
Actually, I have been told he will scrap with anyone in the room and usually does pretty well.

Language is regional and fluid; words and phrases can come to take on meanings seemingly at odds with rules of grammar or logic simply by mass usage, and that's fine, so I think states can be justified simply because so many people use it. And the many people that use state are also not wrong.Quite the delimma Cael just put some of you silly Pennsylvanians in. When asked if it is "State or States", he replied State.

That said, I think a lexical argument can be made for either term, partly because both words already have multiple meanings entirely distinct from their usage here. Where I grew up it was always states (and nationals), and I think the lexical justification for pluralizing both is that (a) "states" is essentially a shortening of "state wrestling championships" and (b) there are multiple championships at the event because there are multiple weight classes.
Accordingly, it's not the Stanley Cup Final, it's the Stanley Cup Finals, because there are individual events comprising the larger event. Compare that to Texas high school football, where the plural is rarely used, because it's only ever one game. Or the Super Bowl.
Well he’s never beaten me in the room, and I’ve never beaten Nico. Stick that in your transitivity calculator and let know what it spits out ...

Gotta be honest, my post probably didn't deserve, nor was I expecting an actual response using logic.
So who said there is no money in wrestling
Oh I’m well aware of Tara’s Olympic exploits.
But I’ve seen/heard DT and others specifically call Casey “the strongest man alive”.
Also, I like the fact that a 40+ year old guy who wrestled at 157 can still give a ~20 year old, 2x B1G 184lb champ the business.
i say states where the competition has more that one round at a site (wrestling) and state where it's only one (football).
however, your last paragraph is wrong. "The NHL formally calls the final round the Stanley Cup Final." (https://www.stltoday.com/news/local...cle_bd62178a-20b5-5f18-a127-5d6cfca9cee9.html)

Interesting.
OTOH I believe BB is officially the 'NBA Finals'.
How do the singulars bastardize The World Series?
