Fletcher Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Still can't believe Hamiti let that Big Ten match get away from him. Hamiti holds on and wins that, then he's opposite bracket from Carr and straight path to the NCAA finals, while Mesinbrink would have to go thru Carr and O'Toole. Back on topic - I'd probably say smartest would be any pre-med or engineering kid with a high GPA. I don't know Mesinbrink's major, but I expect classes at PSU are easier than at the Ivies. 1

But the topic is overall performance - NCAA wrestling + grades. Any Ivy league wrestlers perform very well on the mat and in the class room? Would Meyer Shapiro be the best bet?

flyingcement Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Also if Mesenbrink was so smart, shouldn't he have known the score in his own finals match? Or maybe he's better with the arts than sciences? 4 1 3

Hammerlock3 Posted July 27 Posted July 27 (edited) Has it been mentioned that he was too dumb to remember riding time? And on a more serious note, 4.0 GPA doesn't mean anything. People who know which courses to take, and are good at school, can do this with very little effort. If he's in a STEM field with a 4.0 thats a big deal.

I'm saying that my liberal arts degree helped me understand the guillotine as one logical end to the intellectual movement birthed by stuff like Francis Bacon's The Great Instauration, I.e. the unfashioable "The Great Man Theory of History." And, my liberal arts degree helped me understand that this theory has a lot of problems worth thinking about. Edit: In short, my liberal arts degree has made my world interesting enough to wake up every day and think about it some more. Edited July 28 by jackwebster
Rassling Posted July 28 Posted July 28 How about best wrestler whose mature and articulate beyond his years while being most humble about it. Does that qualify?
