Scoring inflation.

If Askren never redshirted he’d be 1-11 against Pendleton in college and only a one time champ/Hodge winner. Kevin would still believe that Askren jumped levels after Pendleton graduated and that 2006 Askren would beat peak Pendleton. In the timeline that actually happened Pendleton was 7-1 against Askren in folkstyke and 2-0 in freestyle. Kevin thinks Askren jumped levels after Pendleton graduated and either the jump didn’t work for freestyle or he jumped back by the time they wrestled in freestyle a second time. There is a window in time from late June 2005 to early October 2009 when Askren totally would handled Pendleton... Unfortunately they didn’t wrestle during this period.

Yeah, it is a down year for men's back.

GREATEST way to keep from drowning.

Agreed. More than seems wrong. It is wrong. How could anyone misunderstand something so true and obvious.

Swimming: Way to keep from drowning.

Nolf-Wick is 175lbs

not before this one

When will you have this plot ready?

I have him blocked for a reason.

I agree. It should follow a golf or tennis kind of model. That's kind of how it is anyway, with the way UWW has rankings and things. There should be an established tour though, and just have it culminate at Worlds every year.

Day 2 prelims wrapping up. Not a great start. First time in my lifetime that no American man made it to the semifinals in the 100 back, a stroke that the US has dominated for many, many years

I think elections are just the flip side of modern-day slavery. It’s all a game between the rich and powerful - whoever’s got more money, more connections, and better media control ends up winning. You really think you have a say in your future? They line up voters at the ballot box, and the guy with the fattest wallet and the biggest media machine comes out on top. Just look at who’s been elected president in the past few decades - it’s a joke. Jimmy and Mimmy go cast their votes, and somehow they end up with Trump or Biden making decisions that affect people like Chomsky or John Searle! If you picked someone randomly off the street, chances are they’d be more qualified than half the clowns who end up in the White House. It’s easy to imagine how much Chomsky must’ve struggled when he voted for Biden, calling it "a tactical vote to prevent a worse disaster" - basically choosing between the lesser of two evils: Why do people have to pick between bad and worse? Because most folks don't boycott the elections, and that keeps this ugly cycle of choosing from the worst options going on and on.

Ben Askren just went from hero to "eff it, put this game on Legendary mode and I'm about to set the world record." I've never been more pumped to see someone spit out 5 pound curls in my life. If this guy is any more inspirational we may not have any brick walls left because we ran through them all thanks to him.

This is more convincing. I don't think 1.5 point TD helps though. Maybe just going back to 2 pt. Or maybe giving more points on a takedown for initiating a move versus scoring on a counter. I do think it is good that an athlete who scores a TD is rewarded over one who scores an escape and gets a RT or stall point.

Jawn had this take but idk where the money would come from

from what I saw they all tried to wrestle from space but when they did hand fight him they all cleared ties and deflected his pressure tried to time him reaching. They are all also insanely fast and powerful Takahashi and burroughs I believe a bit more so than Carr.

He maintains multiple residences. Most likely he'll pull an Obama and ramrod some brain dead fool into a Nominal presidency by illicit means and have an unofficial 3rd term. It's a proven strategy.

You are talking about Clod Pumice correct?

Are there going to be teams? Team scoring and Team duals? That's a big part of what makes college wrestling so entertaining

If he has $$$ in the market and not buried in cool rocks

Wkn would disagree.

Does @BobDole have a special place like the Zoo to which swim posters may be banished?
