Ew, just ew.

As much as it pains me, Purdue is in better shape than State. Purdue has beaten Duke, and has beaten other quality teams. I cannot imagine all four not getting in.

What about Elvis? I thought he was better than some of their other guys while he was healthy last year.

WTF are you trying to say?

Well, I was just talking about the hot 20's-30's chicks on CNN, or atleast they look like they are around that ages.

I have seen some hot chicks on CNN. They were way too smart for me, but they are still hot.

A bunch of pussies is what they are. It is being played all over that Hasek only has a sore groin or something like that. A twisted ankle for CuJo, come on.

f***ing awesome. I never thought of that one.

Hahaha. Glad that wasn't me.

The numbers are the big catching point. Instead of creating new womens sports and teams, colleges are just removing mens sports. That solves their problem off the bat. Cheerleading also does not count as a NCAA sport. So, all the cheerleaders are not NCAA athletes, and do not count towards the numbers. Title IX is a great idea, but it is being used the wrong way. One day Title IX activists will take on basketball or football, and that is a battle they could not win.

Wrestling is one of the few sports that doesn't lose much, if any money. The state of Washington does not right now have a D1 wrestling program, but Washington State is in the process of reinstating their program. Here at State, we raise easily over half of the budget. We work a ton of crap for it, and have great boosters and supporters. We have the nicest facilities in the nation. Our lockeroom is gorgeous, we have a raised platform for meets, and they are redoing the wrestling room this summer and building a team room (with a TV, couches, and all that stuff). State is an exception to a point, as it is generally one of the top programs in the nation...but we are one of the most controversial programs in the nation on several fronts.

There is a war going on with Title IX already. The biggest names in wrestling are already fighting for wrestling. Dan Gable, J Robinson, Tom Brands, and many others are fighting for the sport. A few years back, when I used to go to the University of Iowa camps (wow, how did I end up at State then? ), they would talk to us about Title IX. They went on for awhile on it, and it is still a downward battle that most mens sports are fighting.

You were doing your job, and a very good one at that. It is awesome that you guys watch out for stuff like that on here. Some people truely would not like their names out on this site, and it was good you played it safe.

This is a huge deal in the world of wrestling, and beyond. J Robinson would be equal to Rick Patino in college wrestling. His main a points are: 1. The University has two sets of rules for its teams. Men’s teams, especially non-revenue teams are not granted the same privileges that the women’s teams are given. The women’s teams are granted finances based solely on the fact that they are women. Coaches are paid more just because they coach women. It doesn’t matter whether they are men or women, it only matters that they are coaching a women’s teams. 2. Freedom of speech. Because J spoke out against Title IX, and its injustices, the university reprimanded him and tried to fire him. This is called reprisal. Chicago Tribune Miami Herald Deluth Superior This is a huge deal. I know no one on this board will understand how big this will be in the wrestling world, but it will not just effect wrestling; swimming, gymnastics, and other non-revenue sports.

I don't care, it's no big deal either way. Sorry for the problems.

Truth be told, I wrestle for Michigan State. I had the MSU wrestling website up as my sig some months ago. I don't care if people know my name, as there is only one Steve on the wrestling team, especially only two kids from Illinois. It doesn't bother me. Thanks for caring though.

I can't lie to you DB. So all I'll say is...

Yeah, he means trade for...if the Yankees did that, they would wait til midseason and get him for cheaper, hoping the Dodgers are out of contention.

Yeah, Illinois lost to a young Minnesota. Damn. Illinois is pretty tough, but I cannot see them competing with Okie State if they met. Matches would probably go along these lines (barring some decent matchups): 125: Ott, UI...Stites, OSU -- 3-0 UI 133: Jayne, UI...Thompson, OSU -- 3-3 141: Martin, UI...Delk, OSU -- 6-3 OSU 149: Dietzen, UI...Esposito, OSU -- 10-3 OSU 157: Tirapelle, UI...Hendericks, OSU -- 10-6 OSU 165: Reynolds, UI...Lewis, OSU -- 16-6 OSU 174: Friedl, UI...Pendleton, OSU -- 19-6 OSU 184: Glynn, UI...Rosholt, OSU -- 22-6 OSU 197: Potter, UI...Blackmon, OSU -- 22-9 OSU 285: Benhke, UI...Grunwald, OSU -- 22-12 OSU They have a bad ass recruiting class, and I think the next few years they could have a shot at the NCAA title. Johnson (their coach) is supposed to be a dochebag too. (It is sad I did all that off the top of my head.)

I am sorry, I don't mind the Beatles or anything, but they were a boy band. Will we be talking about NSync that way one day, or how about the Backstreet Boys? The Beatles arn't bad, but I must just not see the light that they are the bestest thing to ever happen to anything ever.

I'd have taken Lee to come off the bench. That is what he is going to do no matter where he goes, except to the Bucs -- where he will start.
