I don't go over to HR very often, but when I do, I LMAO.
AS THE BIRD TURNS (IOWA STUFF)
- Thread starter Lyco1990

So those same board members don’t know what’s going on with their very own club, but speak authoritatively about Cael, PSU wrestling and the NLWC like they impersonated a cleaning crew and put bugs in all the light fixtures at the Lorenzo Complex
No. He actually believed those things, so it's not lying. Tom's not real big on paying attention to details. Ask Virginia Tech.
I stand corrected. So he is not dishonest just misinformed head coach... much better?
Tom Brands while discussing HWC women...
"My direct report, (Iowa deputy director of athletics) Barbara Burke, is a fan. But she’s also going to defer to our coaching staff on how she’s going to operate, so we’re going to operate within the philosophy of our program.”
Can anyone break this down for me because I'm confused what Tom was trying to say here. I'm kinda stuck on the word "defer" I think.. Since the discussion was about HWC athletes, I'm confused as to why he'd bring up someone from the University's athletic department. Is he saying he was looking for consultation from her? Not really clear. And if he was.... why?
Seems like something we should look into if ya ask me. University athletic departments shouldn't be vested in these clubs should they?

Wasn't sure if this was ever brought up before but Hawks have #1 college wrestling program both historically and currently. And Gable/Brands are the best in the business at teaching and motivating. That's all.
Historically, think Okie St may take issue, current defending back to back to back national champs take issue with the other fallacy.
Iowa has a great team. Ohio State has a great program.

Hey Tiki, this slander/libel?
In my non-lawyerly opinion it's:
Libel, and probably not actionable. A clear and detailed allegation that a wrestler took steroids that the speaker knew or had good reason to know was likely false might be actionable, but Downey's wording is vague and weaselly, capable of too many meanings. Additionally, defamation is understood as how a reasonable person could interpret the statement. To that end, and some might see this as unfair, but people who talk trash all the time are more insulated from defamation claims than people who are highly regarded; that is, reasonable people generally disregard what comes out of Pat Downey's mouth.Pat Downey III

So in other words, Downey got some professional legal advice before he posted his tweet.
I think DT will find a way to act on it. Maybe he will actively disable PD3’s lungs, using activity.
Tikk is advising him. He literally told Downey, "Reasonable people generally disregard what comes out of your mouth." And, Downey said, "Yeah! Darn right they do!" Maybe a little more colorfully.So in other words, Downey got some professional legal advice before he posted his tweet.
Is tHR still a thing?
I went there for the first time in months and it looks like a) every thread is started by same guy trying to get paid for his sports journalism skills b) same haters hating c) one great joke about minnysoda
The joke was well worth the pages of nonsense by the way.

I can understand why the HR faithful are a bit cranky. They thought they had their NC in the bag this year and it didn't happen. Now they are faced with the likelihood that several teams will be much improved next year.
What really bugs them is that their most hated rival is one of them.

But, if the joke is the one I'm thinking of, it was a PSU guy that cracked it, right?
Here's the real rub! If Tikk10 has Downey on retainer, he can't tell us because of client/attorney confidentiality.
Where can I find the joke, please? (I feel guilty for trying to read the joke without suffering the toil of getting through the other, usual HR nonsense.)
If it's the one I'm thinking of it's the 15th post in the Teasdale in the Portal thread.
The hatred is palpable.

Let's send Cashman out there to get his hand raised and bump Lee up to 133 to teach RBY a lesson and maybe actually get a decent workout in for once.

And let Nick Lee force another tap out from DeSanto
Didn’t go so well for Spencer when he went up in freestyle
There's a bunch of commenters on HR that seem to believe:
A) Wrestling with an arm behind your back is somehow an advantage
B) Wrestlers are obligated to allow opponents to wrestle/set up takedowns in the exact way they want to
A is an advantage. That is why RBY does it and since he has beaten AD twice in a row me thinks it works.
As to B well that is a common HR point of view. LOL
A bunch also believe wrestling with one leg is an advantage, so at least they're consistent.
Another positive CV test today for Iowa. They say one more and they get shut down. I think our chances of a dual are going to be 50/50. This sucks.
The 4 match minimum needs to be dropped. Sorry, but teams are losing matches due to testing on other teams. I say if a dual doesn't get rescheduled then it should count towards the 4. Fair is fair.
