Wheels falling off & the T&T plan comes together

[ionel]

It started a week plus ago pointed out by @Wrestleknownothing, teams were closing the gap, instead of three teams to beat Penn St it would only take two.  Then the Hawks plowed thru the Pokes one of those teams and now Iowa is back at #2.  Same day Starocci goes down, can he even drill?  Penn State likely to lose two more at B10s.  Ayala looking like a NC and Davis keeps sliding.  Woods is the real deal and BB will get dumped @PortaJohn style to the back side.  Also Brooks is still too short.  Kueter showed why he’s gonna beat Kerk.  Sure Tom put in VV and Gabe A against the pokes, but that was just a ploy, he’s still working on the Ferrari bros to man 149 & 197, Glazier will drop to 184.  Mesenbrink will be toast running into Carr on the front side & KOT on the back to end up out at R12.  Iowa with 3 NC and 7 AA walks away with it, you can bet on it!

This is a great write up but just one glaring hole.  #16 seed Meyer Shapiro takes out Levi Haines Thursday night in the round of 16.

I'm gonna run this one past someone in TnT's family for a sober gambling reality check before I bet on it.

Quite possible.  But in what style?  Hand, cordless, hammer, impact, or auger?

Ouch.  If he's going to jump levels like that then I'm shocked.  You'd think Cael would get him some lower level drilling competitions like the Marcellus Shale Natural Gas Open

There are masterpieces ... and then there are disaster-pieces.  Centralia belongs to the latter category like Three Mile Island and Chernobyl but, hey, property taxes and rents there are probably pretty low, right?

Last time I was there, there were only 2 or 3 houses left. The government had bought everything else and tore it down. The few houses left used the government payments to put brick buttresses on the side of their row houses to keep them upright after the row houses on either side had been torn down. That was a long time ago.

Indeed I am, but I was just a glimmer in my mother's eye when the fire started. And my grandfather, a coal miner in the region, and maybe in that mine, had long since shuffled off his mortal coil.

I applaud the amount of work that went into this.  This is hilarious.  A perfect salad of real potential outcomes, wand-waiving, and true humor.

It appears @jajensen09 never got the call up from the minors.  We need a new batter at the plate.  Perhaps @Wrestleknownothing knows someone?
