What whole number comes between 1 and 2?

I honestly do believe Bassett’s decommittment wasn’t about money. It seems like it was more about simply not letting him train at the RTC. Especially since I’m sure slumlord Bob would have gladly given him an apartment he had sitting empty so it wouldn’t have cost him anything. Although maybe Iowa wasn’t too upset after he decommitted because of how much he was going to get paid.

Ex: I bet Forrest still gets a new truck just like Fix did. Recruits are still going to have nice off-campus housing provided to them. Starters will have no-show jobs to provide a paycheck that legally skirts NIL rules. Things will be more contained, but there will still be functions of the wild, wild west.

What many are failing to grasp is that there are NIL deals and there are business deals. Business deals are the new bag man - operating in shadows slightly less behind the scenes, the only difference is that 2025's bag man doesn't have to hide cash from the IRS. Business deals are currently less prevalent, but with Deloitte trying to create a de facto salary cap (which is a good thing in theory [and theory only]) then these business deals will grow in volume. It will simply be a more legal but just as murky recruiting environment, with the difference being that transfers can now also enjoy the spoils that previously required a 4-5 year commitment out of high school.

And another thing.... Its pinfall. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

This is one time where Ohio State must be really thankful for Carter Starocci and Aaron Brooks. The talk of this doc really fell off after the PSU drama started

That was actually hilarious. It’s just not fair - you’re living the dream, with a flush toilet, in the greatest country on the planet - and I might get thrown into one of the world’s scariest prisons just for dropping a few cheeky comments. At least come visit me once, so I can show off to the other inmates that I’ve got a real-deal white American friend.

... let's just overlook what Superman's lineups could be and maybe... just maybe, focus a little bit more, on the Jimmy Olsen lineups from time to time? (tanxs very much, fb, for the acknowledgement of LEHIGH... the JIMMY OLSEN's of the wrestling world. ) D3

Probably, but does that mean he’s lying? Worth noting IMO that he didn’t say anything about travel costs, he focused on the 250 mile requirement, but claims that a donor was paying for an apartment in Stillwater and the RTC thinks that satisfies the requirement but he claims it doesn’t.

That's pretty good, but PSU could have 7 different 1-2-3 combos that outscore this one at NCAAs. PSU's 5 back to back champs in 2017 is the only 1-2-3-4-5 punch combo of champs.

He's only going if they throw in some Mr Zogs Sex Wax

I just Bono isn't the one teaching her how to sign off on kids

Here are the NCAA point totals as scored from the round of 32 using a 1.5 point TF for all 15 point wins and the current placement point allocation for all pairs of champs at back to back weights since 1970 inclusive. The 2000-present best Iowa 1-2s are also included. The list is ordered by combined team points first than year. The minimum number of team points from two champs is 40 (assuming no subtractions and zero bonus) and the maximum is 60 (all pinfalls). No one pair hit the maximum. The closest a single wrestler was to the max in the set was David Taylor in 2012 with 29.5. One pair hit the minimum - Steve Marianetti and Ernest Benion both won titles in 1995 without scoring a single bonus point. 2012: David Taylor (1st 165), Ed Ruth (1st 174); Total (29.5+26.5=56) 2017: Zain Retherford (1st 149), Jason Nolf (1st 157); Total (28+27=55) 1973: Wade Schalles (1st 158), Bill Simpson(1st 167); Total (28+24=52) 1983: Ed Banach (1st 190), Lou Banach (1st Unl); Total (25+27=52) 1992: Tom Brands (1st 134), Troy Steiner (1st 142); Total (25+26.5=51.5) 1972: Ben Peterson (1st 190), Chris Taylor (1st Unl); Total (27+24=51) 1986: Kevin Dresser (1st 142), Jim Heffernan (1st 150); Total (26+25=51) 2019: Bo Nickal (1st 197), Anthony Cassar (1st 285): Total (27+24=51) 1992: Terry Brands (1st 126), Tom Brands (1st 134); Total (25.5+25=50.5) 2005: Johny Hendricks (1st 165), Chris Pendleton (1st 174); Total (25+25.5=50.5) 2024: Aaron Brooks (1st 197), Greg Kerkvliet (1st 285); Total (27+23.5=50.5)* 2017: Jason Nolf (1st 157), Vincenzo Joseph (1st 165); Total (27+23=50) 2017: Mark Hall (1st 174), Bo Nickal (1st 184); Total (22.5+27.5=50) 1975: Chuck Yagla (1st 150), Pat Holm (1st 158); Total (25+24.5=49.5) 1997: Lincoln McIlravy (1st 150), Joe Williams (1st 158); Total (24+25.5=49.5) 1970: Jason Smith (1st 167), Chuck Jean (1st 177); Total (25+24=49) 1982: Dave Schultz (1st 167), Mark Schultz (1st 177); Total (24+25=49) 1970: Dwayne Keller (1st 126), Darrell Keller (1st 134); Total (25.5+23=48.5) 1990: Terry Brands (1st 126), Tom Brands (1st 134); Total (23.5+24.5=48) 2018: Zain Retherford (1st 149), Jason Nolf (1st 157); Total (25+23=48) 1980: Joe Gonzales (1st 118), John Azevedo (1st 118); Total (24.5+23=47.5) 1984: Jim Scherr (1st 177), Bill Scherr (1st 190); Total (20**+27.5=47.5) 1996: Joe Williams (1st 158), Daryl Weber (1st 167); Total (22.5+25=47.5) 1987: Tim Krieger (1st 150), Stewart Carter (1st 158); Total (22+25=47) 1998: Teague Moore (1st 118), Eric Guerrero (1st 126); Total (23+24=47) 2002: Jared Lawrence (1st, 149), Luke Becker (1st 157); Total (23+24=47) 1993: Lincoln McIlravy (1st 142), Terry Steiner (1st 150); Total (21.5+25=46.5) 2023: Carter Starocci (1st 174), Aaron Brooks (1st 184); Total (24+22.5=46.5) 1970: Dave Martin (1st 158), Jason Smith (1st 167); Total (21+25=46) 1985: Melvin Douglas (1st 177), Dan Chaid (1st 190); Total (22+23=46) 1987: Royce Alger (1st 167), Rico Chiapparelli (1st 177); Total (25+21=46) 1999: Doug Schwab (1st 141), TJ Williams (1st 149); Total (22+24=46) 2005: Jake Rosholt (1st 197), Steve Mocco (1st 285); Total (20+23=46) 2021: Roman Bravo-Young (1st 133), Nick Lee (1st 141); Total (22.5+23.5=46) 2022: Roman Bravo-Young (1st 133), Nick Lee (1st 141); Total (23+23=46) 2025: Ridge Lovett (1st 149),Antrell Taylor (1st 157); Total (22.5+23.5=46)* 1998: Mark Ironside (1st 134), Jeff McGinness (1st 142); Total (23.5+22=45.5) 2000: Juergens (1st 133), Schwab (3rd 141); Total (25+20.5=45.5)+ 2017: Vincenzo Joseph (1st 165), Mark Hall (1st 174); Total (23+22.5=45.5) 1994: Pat Smith (1st 158), Mark Branch (1st 167); Total (24+21=45) 2018: Jason Nolf (1st 157), Vincenzo Joseph (1st 165); Total (23+21=44) 2021: Lee (1st 125), DeSanto (3rd 133); Total (24.5+19.5=44)+ 2022: Carter Starocci (1st 174), Aaron Brooks (1st 184); Total (22+22=44) 2008: Perry (1st 165), Borschell (3rd 174); Total (25+18.5=43.5)+ 2012: McDonough (1st 125), Ramos (3rd 133); Total (26+17.5=43.5)+ 2012: Steve Bosak (1st 184), Cam Simaz (1st 197); Total (21+22.5=43.5) 2022: Aaron Brooks (1st 184), Max Dean (1st 197); Total (22+21.5=43.5) 1972: Greg Johnson (1st 118), Pat Milkovich (1st 126); Total (22+21=43) 1993: Markus Mollica (1st 158), Ray Miller (1st 167); Total (20+23=43) 1993: Kevin Randleman (1st 177), Rex Holman (1st 190); Total (20+23=43) 2000: Strittmatter (3rd 125), Juergens (1st 133); Total (18+25=43)+ 2001: Strittmatter (2nd 125), Juergens (1st 133); Total (20+22=42)+ 2010: Jake Varner (21st 197), David Zabriskie (1st 285); Total (22+20=42) 2021: Carter Starocci (1st 174), Aaron Brooks (1st 184); Total (20+21.5=41.5) 1976: Lee Kemp (1st 158), Pat Christenson (1st 167); Total (21+20=41) 2001: Juergens (1st 133), Schwab (2nd 141); Total (22+19=41)+ 1995: Steve Marianetti (1st 150), Ernest Benion (1st 158); Total (20+20=40) 2017: Gilman (3rd 125), Clark (1st 133); Total (19.5+20=39.5)+ 2010: McDonough (1st 125), Dennis (2nd 133); Total (23.5+16=39.5)+ 2010: Marion (2nd 141), Metcalf (1st 149); Total (16+23=39)+ 2016: Gilman (2nd 125), Clark (2nd 133); Total (21.5+16=37.5)++ 2007: Perry (1st 165), Luedke (3rd 174); Total (22+13.5=35.5)+ 2005: Johnston (2nd 157), Perry (2nd 165); Total (17+18=35)++ 2010: Dennis (2nd 133), Marion (2nd 141); Total (16+16=32)++ * 3 point TD ** Bye in the round of 32 + One non-champ in the duo ++ Two non-champs in the duo

I definitely notice that the above listings were past & established wrestlers consisting that 1-2 punch in the lineups. But can I put forth a potential 1-2-3 punch in next season's LEHIGH lineup? Sheldon Seymour (6th/125) @ 125 Ryan Crookham (3rd/133) @ 133 and Luke Stanich (5th/125) @ 141 It's been awhile since LEHIGH had such a potential start (IF the dual starts at 125) in a dual like they do now. (Huzzah!) D3

Also spitballing here, Cael's entire staff gets fired and is replaced by Cary Kolat!

Vincent placed at national tournaments, and was on championship dual teams. He was a F'g stud since 8th grade. He was just unfortunate that he had studs at his weight in highschool that were nationally ranked too.

A " small" correction there, OMW... Newton HS in Sussex Co. NJ + Blair Academy(PG?) Dist. champ & Reg. runner-up... so he qualified for the NJSIAA state tournament. https://www.njherald.com/story/sports/high-school/wrestling/2019/01/22/newton-s-ayres-shaping-pride/4155747007/ But I laud you for picking up on Chris's accomplishment for LEHIGH! My late wife and yours truly were in attendance at PENN ST/Bryce Jordan Arena in 1999. to witness Chris getting AA honors (6th). His losses were all close bouts (5-3 to runner up Clint Musser Penn St QF... 4-3 in the consi-SF to Bryan Snyder of Nebraska who finished 4th... and Minnesota's Chad Kraft, 2-1 in the 5/6 bout.) Bonus (IF my memory of it was correct... ) was that Chris, after getting his medal on the podium, proposed to his then GF and future wife, Lori. What a way to end your collegiate career, eh? D3

Also - U23… lol

Ah yes that’s the year the Iranians did not get a visa for Albania. Attenuated

Crypto? Do you mean that Yanni's Bitcoin account is UP? D3

Pat Christenson (University of Wisconsin) was an NCAA champ (167) in 1977. Prior to that, he had never placed at the NCAA nor did he place at the state meet while in high school (Wisconsin). Came out of nowhere.

He is a u23 world champ, that's certainly trumps any Pan Am accomplishments.

Jealous and vindictive is what he is. Couldn't beat him. Can't be him.

Funny how the wingers talk about justice for girls that have to, heaven forbid, compete against a trans once or twice in their life. Trump surrounding himself w little girls publicity stunt when signing that one. But no justice for the girl rape victims. Hypocritical pieces of toilet trash. Make me sick. RELEASE THE FILE!!
