👏🏼 Make 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 college season 👏🏼 January 1st to end of April 👏🏼 Wrestlers are so bad at marketing. People want to watch but it will be overshadowed by basketball!

Nebraska high school C-1 final 4 basketball has been an absolute pleasure this year. No metro elite teams, no stacked parochial teams, just 8 teams of small town kids chasing a dream and communities rallying behind them all the way 👏🏼 Boys Ogallala Douglas County West Ashland-Greenwood Auburn Girls Milford (champs!) Gothenburg Fort Calhoun Malcolm But who asked the wrestling guy 🤷🏻‍♂️

There are a few more members of the state champions club in Milford Nebraska tonight. This group of girls is very special, and lead by a great coach that knows how to get it done, along with quality assistants. But most importantly, a few parents (moms) that knew what it was going to take and started building this a decade ago in both volleyball and basketball. It’s paid off. Congrats, girls!

Housing affordability isn’t as big of a problem as people think for starter homes. A lot of young people just have different ideas of what a starter home is. In 2002, my wife and I were just out of college, she made $22,000/yr and I made $25,000/yr base and we bought our first home for $87,500 with an FHA loan. A 90yr old, 1.5story, 2BR home. Every night after work we tore down wallpaper and painted. Every weekend we landscaped, added some flooring, finished part of the basement, or updated door knobs. It was a great home for us and our two sons for almost 8 years. Today in the next town over, this house has been on the market for a few weeks at $157,500. The same type of house we started in, and nobody is biting. Young couples are averaging over $100,000/yr in combined income. This house is MORE AFFORDABLE, if you run the ratio. They are making well over double what we did, and the house is less than double. I don’t blame them for wanting nicer, and I know I sound like the old guy in the room, but the market isn’t much different now, the expectations are.

I tried to raise my sons to be strong, ambitious, savvy opportunity seekers that can go out into the world and not need me anymore. Then they went and looked at investment properties without me yesterday and I’m sad 😂

I’m going to blow your wrestling mind. What if there was no stalling rule in folkstyle? Isn’t it about CONTROL? Don’t let your opponent control you. If you can’t get out it’s on you, do better. If you can’t take him down when you’re losing, it’s on you. He can’t just run away, that would be fleeing, but folkstyle is about control. If you like more action and more rules to create action, switch it all to freestyle. What would we complain about if we didn’t have stalling rules?! (I’m not sure I agree with myself here, just raising a point, lol)

There’s a reason why sons and daughters of state champions frequently become champions themselves. Genetics has little to do with it. It’s because parents that have won championships know what it takes. They know the mindset, they know what it takes physically, they know the attitude, they know the training, they know the commitment that it takes. They know about the non-negotiables, they know about the toughness that is required. Having a coach that knows these things is a great asset, but having a parent that lives these things in their family is more impactful. There are plenty of kids that win championships without a pedigree, and there are plenty of sons and daughters of champions that don’t make it. But on average the ones that know it and live it in their family, have a much higher percentage of success. It takes what it takes, and those that know what it takes will instill that in their kids. They manifest success, not excuses. Sports ~ Life

Doesn’t get more Iowa than this. Cyclones 🤝 Hawkeyes 🤝 Casey’s

Excited for this new way to grow wrestling!

Yep, I’m cancelling @FloWrestling today after all these years of incompetence, it’s maddening.

We did some things these past 8 years, and the future is bright! I loved every minute.

🚨 For the first time in school history, Milford has qualified for the STATE DUAL tournament next weekend in Kearney. We will compete among the top 8 schools in class C, and currently sit as the top seed. Official bracket announced on Monday! Congrats men 🫡

With hops like this I’m surprised the basketball coaches let me choose wrestling 😉 What a fun night in front of the home crowd. #ForTheBrand

My first world record. Maybe my last I haven’t decided yet. #volleyballday

@RiggsBarstool @gfore @AkChin_SoDunes 78

I’ll give away a pair of these @gfore’s today. Size 10. I’m drinking & golfing on a Friday least I can do is pay shipping and send someone a pair of sweet shoes. Guess correctly what I shoot at @AkChin_SoDunes today from 6,500 & you’re entered to win. I’ll pick randomly.

@Emmmm_41 Definitely a future here! 💪🏼

Could this be the beginning @JoeSchluck ?? Don’t mind the hip ride at the end, we haven’t learned how to leg ride yet!

My dudes 😎
