I thought it would be courteous to inform CP.

@PortaJohn YAHTZEE!!!

You are wrong and are you NJ Dan?

But Katie Ledecky is a nominee, too. The internal conflict threatens to tear me apart.

Bet! Long shot for me. But gets me a little more excited to see it happen

Damn it, Dan is back?

Well, I really thought about just riding off into the sunset, but I checked this out and it felt like home! Even though I don’t contribute as much as others, I read a lot and I feel like I know you guys so I couldn’t just walk away lol.

If you are a troll I appreciate your commitment. If you're NJ Dan welcome back but you're not fooling anyone. If you happen to be generally misinformed I'm providing a link of Yianni's career with every match he's ever wrestled in college. You can do the math yourself. It's 75. https://www.wrestlestat.com/wrestler/49110/diakomihalis-yianni/profile

"If you believe it you can achieve it." I enjoy Ben. I laugh every time he calls folks, "dummies." I like his wrestling breakdowns. I just think he lives in his own small world which is fine by me. Enigma is a good take.

It appears that the IP was on a blocklist - both for the web site and the mail server. That would explain why email not being accepted for some people, and also why the web site wasn't responding for some people either. Good news is that I just checked the spamhaus blocklists and dozens of others, and it is no longer on the current list.

Wow this is awesome. Pretty seamless transition with the similar boards and interface. Many thanks for all that helped make this possible.

While we wait for more from jross, Here's a deep track from the old site circa 200-old. [Nickerson & Alice from Brady Bunch]

Where would we be without you?

In three tournaments Yianni Diakomihalis has scored an almost incomprehensible two total bonus points. Does he get more titles than bonus points for his career?

It becomes comprehensible when you look at the incomprehensible number of AAs he's had to face (a total of 25 AAs in three tournaments. Compare to Spencer Lee with 18). I looked it up some time ago. That, and the fact that nobody this past tournament actually wrestled to try to beat him. This year will be different. ("almost is a synonym for 'not'")

Yianni’s streak is 75. Kemp’s wiki applies current rules to results that counted at the time. I have his entire record in a doc after he called me in 2018 wondering why he wasn’t listed in ESPN’s graphic Wrestling records in published reports are almost always suspect in the pre-computerization era due to wrestling’s penchant for absolutely stupid rules on what does and doesn’t count. Also, streaks that bridge the era of divisional splits also adds confusion, such as some athletes that competed in the college division, D2 and D3 included and others who did the same excluded. I’ve been trying to validate win streaks for years and it’s not easy. I’ve got a pretty robust list on my computer (it might also be accessible via a subscriber link but I’d have to double check)

Go crazy, folks! Go crazy!

NJ Dan was our greatest fear in this entire venture.

Per the biggest brain, we have modified the Other Sports to "Non-Wrestling Talk" feel free to discuss all your favorite things outside of wrestling from sports to politics in a civil manner. Willie has expressed interest in testing out the ban feature within 24 hours!

Good man. I hope you win.

That works for me. Your $20 to my $100? And I pre-funded my lose.

How about just a sig bet? Ahh ... wait ... no ... nevermind.

Nah..no drama. Just responding to others. You should probably stick to predicting Michigan since that’s your squad. It’s clear you don’t k ow what’s going on in State College

Wow, 19 nominees. That's a lot, including a basketball player who was not even an All_American.

I had always thought that Gable's streak was 100. But some say it's 98 or 117 (which apparently counts his true freshman/unattached wins). The 100 number was oft-restated when Cael broke the record. An AP article at the time said: "Cael Sanderson, unbeaten in his college wrestling career, matched an Iowa State record with his 100th consecutive match victory Sunday. Sanderson scored five takedowns before pinning Hofstra’s Ralph Everett at the 4:04 mark of the 184-pound match and tying Dan Gable’s school record that Iowa State lists as 100 consecutive victories from 1967-70. The NCAA does not keep such records, and other records have put Gable’s streak at 98." Weird that the NCAA does not keep the record. The Iowa State record book credits Gable with 100 wins, which would mean his win-streak was also 100.

Dan is the gift that keeps on giving. You guys should be thanking me. And you are welcome.

alright we're all safe

i should snatch up that handle....

I'll answer as a PSU homer. At this point in Cael's coaching career it's expected. Howard should AA, Bartlett finish no lower than 5th. Van Ness is the next Retherford at 49, Haines the next Nolf, Facundo should have a Mark Hall type of career. PSU fans expect success. There's no way Cornell should even compete with us. I agree with everything you posted. Just offering the blue colored glasses point of view.

ahh ... you mean Carl ... correct? Actually I just wanted to be the first to mention Carl on the new board, hopefully that @Scribe scoundrel didn't beat me to it.

i'll take "teams that won a title when they had no business doing it and havent looked forward since alex"

A nice back and forth argument because you weren't here to put all the relevant data in a nice table.

I feel attacked.

Wow. Would make total sense. Is informed to be wrong again and again but doubles and triples down again and again.

Also, I agree. I was just saying that those picks are not too far out there.

PSU was well represented in the old forum.

That doesn't bother me. I silently twitch at table doilies, table centerpieces, wall hangings on every potential bare space, dirty dishes left in the sink, folding & separating like-sized kids' clothes, and different branded/colored/sized socks. Why does the butcher block require a candle?

People forget Mark Hall was close to having a pretty amazing streak himself.

Hi @BobDole. Can we get an open-topic forum and move GOT MUSIC topic to that space?

First , Foley has been there awhile. Second, that font is for those under 40

Hi all, I'm glad this board is up and running. 2023 Worlds may be interesting. See how many of our 2022 squad will return. Upper weights are getting just a little older so who knows what young buck will come and be a spoiler. mspart

Snuck one past the keeper.

For #FCW23 purposes, but can also be used for the regular fan. Seton Hall Pirate weekly lists are great too, I'll have another weekly snapshot per week for reference Schedules change frequently, so if you see any updates needed, please let me know! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LfuTXr3QjlR9Aa2O5ZgwYoHIw4eMomu8upHsC5Wvd_Q/edit?usp=sharing

Yes he did...I think he is redshirting...and if not I think the determination with Broderson/Gaitan as starter will continue since the match itself was a little fluky.

I bumped it up to 100 per day. I guess you guys love to react.

So we are all in understanding: tOSU = the Ohio State OSU = Oklahoma State wOSU = Oregon State This is what you mean, correct?
