He's obsessive compulsive, obviously.  He probably lives in a spotless house with with more Roombas than pieces of furniture.

Call me Jim Harbaugh because I do everything in excel.

 

Dual prediction? Excel.

CRM? Excel.

Love letters to all my exes down in Texas? Excel.

Amen. As I was entering this I was praising him.

I think he stole that from Bill Barnwell.

Based on this thread, the O/U seems to be 2.5 matches that swing Iowa's way. I'd be tempted to take the over on that, even though it's PSU at BJC.

2.607, but who's counting?

Excel is just foreplay for Barnwell. You just know he's the kind of guy that's into the really kinky stuff like Snowflake integrations into Qlik and Zoho. Dirty, dirty boy...

The way to win this competition is by being bold. But there isn't really anything bold about a PSU blowout. The only "bold "picks I can make are Davis beating Ayala if he wrestles, Starocci majoring rather than a straight decision, and Barr with the upset (if you can call it that). If Ayala doesn't wrestle then Davis might be in the hunt for a major or tech. SVN and Parco feel like a coin toss and I wouldn't be surprised to see flip-flopping back-and-forth results this weekend/B1Gs/NCAAs.

 

Wt		Winner		Method		PSU		Iowa
125		Lilledahl		Dec		3		0
133		Davis		Dec		6		0
141		Bartlett		Dec		9		0
149		Van Ness		Dec		12		0
157		Teemer		Dec		12		3
165		Messinbrink		Major		16		3
174		Haines		Dec		19		3
184		Starocci		Major		23		3
197		Barr		Dec		26		3
285		Kerk		Major		30		3

Who are you picking at 220?

Cassioppi rips off his clothes and runs down from the nosebleeds in a surprise return! The crowd goes wild for the male supermodel! Carver Hawkeye Arena is more electric than Caitlin Clark senior night!

PSU wins by 40.

I want to step in here with you, but SVN - Lovett was 2-2 with a minute left in the match, so basing this off of a 10-2 Major isn't really that good, man... and it was in Nebbie!

SVN has destroyed everyone else this year and between his first and second match with Parco, the gap widened.  SVN is in the better room.  The maths is mathing the wrong way, here brada.

I want to help you and take one of the bettors off your hands, but I feel the need to tell you that Iowa-Penn State is also in Penn State this year.

Pleeeeease don't go through with it.  I don't want to see you hurt!

Also, I don't want to have to change my avatar to mirror yours again (in to something silly... because I'll do it!).

Thanks for battling it out in the trenches here with me brother!  Sorry to drag you into this mess lol!  That's what I get for picking an upset against a Penn State guy

NHS, I take no pleasure in crucifying the most beloved poster on this forum.  It will hurt me as much as it will hurt Fly.

Well Cassioppi did lose to Christian Carroll at 97kg.  Could a Mirasola beat him at 220?

The Tony Cassiopi physique transformation never fails to get a laugh out of me.  Good bit.

Little bit of a drive but the directions are straight forward

 

-Get on WA-14 E

2 min (0.8 mi)

-Follow I-84 E and I-80 E to PA-248 E/Bushkill St in Easton. Take the 4th Street/PA-248 exit from US-22 E

41 hr (2,848 mi)

-Drive to N 3rd St

2 min (0.3 mi)

Ciao! Sandwich Shoppe

What happens if the other guy takes the mat and pulls off the upset of the century? It's not likely, but what if it happens? Does Starocci go on an all time heater, pissing on every last grave across B1G country? Does Focus3 call it a career and walk away on top? Does Arnold transfer to a Tibetan monastery and hide in a shame cave never to be seen again?

Flying out to Iowa for the Lee-Ono event. The drive to Easton will be much more manageable from there. Thanks! You've always been there when I've needed you
