Saw this and thought it was very profound, and worthwhile to share here….

Greetings All, Quickly put this together. All 'Ratings' are via Wrestlestat and are just that - RATINGS. I didn't use Wrestlestat's lineup as some of those guys aren't even listed on their rosters and are listed at different weights than on Wrestlestat... That said... here you go. #22 Campbell WT - Rank Name - Class, 22/23 Record, Result(Notes) 125 - #50 Anthony Molton - JR, 13W-9L, 1W-2L @ SOCON 133 - #16 Domenic Zaccone - JR, 21W-7L, 1W-2L @ NCAA 141 - #38(149) Chris Rivera - JR, 11W-13L, 3W-1L @ SOCON (@149) 149 - #65 Justin Rivera - JR, 0W-0L, (11W-1L during RS @ 149/2021-22) 157 - #147 Hagen Heistand - FR, 12W-7L, Redshirt 165 - #54(157) Troy Nation - SR, 14W-7L, 3W-1L @ SOCON 174 - #31 Austin Murphy - SR, 0W-0L, (2W-1L @ SOCON 2021-22, R12 2020-21) 184 - #23 Caleb Hopkins - SR, 19W-10L, 0W-2L @ NCAA 197 - #16 Levi Hopkins - SR, 25W-10L, 1W-2L @ NCAA 285 - #13 Taye Ghadiali - SR, 27W-5L, 1W-2L @ NCAA #24 Army WT - Rank Name - Class, 22/23 Record, Result(Notes) 125 - #28 Ethan Berginc - SO, 27W-8L, 0W-2L @ NCAA 133 - #58 Ryan Franco - SO, 22W-11L, N/A (1W-3L in duals) 141 - #62 Richard Treanor - JR, 14W-15L, 1W-2L @ EIWA 149 - #28 Trae McDaniel - SO, 32W-11L, 4W-2L @ EIWA 157 - #36 Nathan Lukez - SR, 20W-14L, 0W-2L @ NCAAs 165 - #42 Dalton Harkins - JR, 18W-14L, 3W-3L @ EIWA 174 - #15 Ben Pasiuk - SR, 23W-7L, 1W-2L @ NCAA 184 - #94 Cole Karpinski - SO, 5W-7L, N/A (No dual starts) 197 - #103(184) Daniel Lawrence - SR, 12W-13L, 2W-3L @ EIWA 285 - #70 Austin Kohlofer - SO, 10W-8L, 2L-3L @ EIWA https://www.wrestlestat.com/compare/perma/663/campbell-vs-army-west-point I think this is favoring Army a bit unfairly in a few weights. I do think Zaccone at 133 and Rivera at 141 should be favored, despite the Wrestlestat algorythm favoring the other gent. On the other end of the spectrum I don't see Murphy beating Pasiuk at 174. I do think the Alaskan brothers Caleb and Levi Hopkins can push for bonus and that might be the separation that is needed for this. Add in the Ghadiali is one of my sleepers for AA at 285 and that he might push for bonus (deckfall anyone?) and I do think Campbell ends up taking this one. I will say one of the Hopkins gets the bonus, as does Pasiak. That puts it at 16-13 heading into the HWT match and Ghadiali gets the fall. Prediction: Campbell over Army 19-16

Beer required grain, and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor the aluminum can were invented yet, so while the early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer and vice versa. These two inventions were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1. Liberals 2. Conservatives Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to Bar-B-Que at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative Movement. Other men who were less skilled at hunting (called “vegetarians”, an early word meaning “bad hunters”) learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly Bar-B-Que's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hairdressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal Movement. Some of these liberal men evolved into women. Others became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and the beer that the conservatives provided. Over the years, conservatives came to be symbolized as the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. The liberals came to be symbolized by the jackass they are, for obvious reasons. Modern liberals like 'lite' beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: many liberal women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most college professors, social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, film makers in Hollywood, group therapists, and community organizers are liberals. Liberals meddled in our national pastime and invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher work extra hard as to go to bat. Conservatives drink real beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are members of the military, big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, airline pilots, and generally anyone who works productively at whatever they set out to do. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who actually want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America; they crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a big business of trying to get more for nothing. Herewith ends today's lesson in world history.

First you write pages blaming rape victims, now you're saying Africans should be thankful for the colonizers who oppressed them because they made their lives better? Something is not right in your head.

You have also been told how stupid many of your takes are, but you do not seem to quote that. Rationalizing apartheid by implying if it wasn't for us white folks your lives would be worse than under apartheid, is the height of stupid.

That is a good point. To add to it, in many cases what they are told is going on in the world and what is actually going on in the world are two completely different things. Here we at least have the option of which bullshit stories we want to believe. There, in many many cases (especially in areas where the best combat athletes come from) they get one story and one story only.

Don't know about Sidakov personally, but I have great empathy for athletes who may be told to support Putin or else be thrown off of a hotel balcony. It's why, unfortunately, the best decision for now is just to ban Russians from the Olympics and any competition where they are expressly representing their country.

I was a 112lber my senior year of high school and I was undersized as a 125lber in college and have wished they had 118lbs when I went through

Are all required to post a singlet selfie on Ntl Singlet Day Nov 1?

Not convinced either way. Most of the arguments I have seen for GR popularity use the participation level in WC as all the evidence needed. Part of my gut feel is obviously biased, being from the US. However, in addition, it was clear from the Iranian fans on the boards is that FR is way more popular and I also remember when Karelin was a star getting some press coverage in the US, the articles seemed to always mention how GR was, like the US, far less popular in Russia

I think so, too. I will probably do a few more and might even have something speshul up my (our?) sleeve for one.

I don't think Jordan has ever said that Plasi. He has said he was not aware of it. I gave a link that details the accusations against Jordan made by team members and also votes of support for what Jordan has said by other team members. It appears that not even the team is able to come together on this. If they can't, it seems ludicrous to base an opinion on Jordan that is based on this controversy. Again, like someone on this board said, not convicted nor prosecuted so therefore all is right with the world. If it works for some, it works for all. mspart

Biden made a sound decision in keeping Space Command right where it is. It is an interesting point though. When the MAGA states begin prosecuting women for getting abortions, how can the DoD justify forcing women to live in them?

I think this is the prevailing opinion.

Neither side seems to care about civilians here. Neither is the good guy in this situation and it will only continue to get worse until one side's eternal goal of totally eliminating the other is accomplished.

Since when are we constrained by reality on this forum? Don't be a hater.

Wrestling, basketball, volleyball, judo, boxing, and weightlifting, especially weightlifting, on ice. Problem solved. You are all welcome. Where do I pick up my consulting fee?

The 118 lb. weight was eliminated in the 1998-1999 season when they added the 7 lbs. to all of the weights due to the deaths of some wrestlers that year from weight cutting. I was 118 way back in the 70s and I weigh less now than my natural walking around weight was then (138 lbs.)

How can you prove that someone knows what someone else knew? Especially if the person says they didn't know what the other person thought they knew?

How people like Turberville get elected … truly boggles the mind.

I already have t-shirt, I'd just give the Chunky bars to my good buddy Wkn, but I really could use the wire.

now do biden's bro david byrd. now also recall Biden voted for mass incarceration for petty crimes and was vociferous about keeping schools segragated.

You first.

Singlets are for the puritanically modest. Try a speedo.

“Rivals such as TikTok, YouTube and Facebook also are coping with a flood of unsubstantiated rumors and falsehoods about the Middle Eastern conflict, playing the typical whack-a-mole that erupts each time a news event captures world attention.”

I have read that Coach Bobby Douglas traces his roots to what is now South Sudan, which has an impressive wrestling tradition. Here's a very brief (1 minute long) video of how South Sudan strives for peace among otherwise warring tribes by periodically hosting wrestling competitions between them. Such showdowns are well attended and of considerable community interest.

I worry that restoring the 118 lbs. weight class would encourage unhealthy weight cutting more often than not. At least with other sports, folks who are "almost that light" aren't required to cut weight just to get to compete. There are pros and cons to the elimination of the 118lbs. weight class. I didn't see evidence of much resistance after the elimination happened though. I wasn't exactly ideally situated for detecting disapproval, however.

There are lighter guys out there that would/could go 118. Most of them couldn't go 118 for more than 2 seasons, but a lot of teams need kids at 125 and 133 too. It falls on the coaches to get out there and find them.

Was it a good idea to eliminate the 118 lbs. weight class in college that we had as recently as the late 1980s or early 1990s?

My posting of the picture was more for those who are not defending Hamas but being ‘attacked’ (probably poor choice of word here) as if they are.

Oh, and you should read Born A Crime

Unfortunately there are some victims who have directly said yes he absolutely knew.

Jordan has graciously asked the R conference to back Scalise. What a jerk! mspart

It's been awhile since a good old match preview thread. This offseason can't end soon enough. This dual should be very close

Nothing warped about my perspective. Straight and true. Just different from yours. Punishing the whole for the transgressions of one or few is collective punishment and generally considered immoral. Punishing individuals who were born into a situation and have no ability to affect it by running or not running a 1500 meter race is also generally considered immoral. Nothing warped about that perspective. Yours may be different but, if so, please be consistent and insist that China be banned from all international forums (sporting and otherwise) and refuse to use anything made there in your daily life. Live your perspective.

Ask yourself what have Cael, Tom & B10 done lately to expand/support wrestling? Whe Stanford dropped John Smith went out of his way to put them on the schedule and encourage wrestlers to stay at Stanford. What did Brands do, spent 6 figures to steal their best wrestler. Sanderson, nothing i know of. They both killed the Ntl Duals or maybe that was Carl's plan. When B10 announcers spend all their time downgrading other conferences and bragging about themselves how does that grow the sport? Look at the money Michigan, Oh St etc spent to grab wrestler away from other programs. You want to grow D1 wrestling, get coaches onbord. With all the NIL $s maybe we need a better way to share like NFL. Although I prefer the Euro football league & relegate/promote model. My plan anyone can qualify for a national individual tournament (no team score) but leagues would be dual meet for promotion & relegate. If I were running it I'd start PSU in the national league so it'd take a couple years to promote to Premier, but thats just me. Its a perfect beautiful plan & Wkn has all my data for making big tables & colorful charts.

Speaking of expendable sports, the Winter Olympics is comprised--almost entirely--of expendable sports. Besides figure skating, skiing (I guess) and hockey, everything else is trash. Curling? Biathlon? Nordic Combined? Sledding? Freestyle Skiing? Snowboarding? Snow Angels? (not a real Olympic sport). All trash. Did you know that there are only 31 sites in the entire United States where you can practice ski jumping? How many times have you gotten into an argument with somebody and decided to settle it by Ski Jumping? On the other hand, there are over 10,000 high schools in America with a wrestling team. There are another 400 college teams. The IOC needs to add a real Winter sport to their program: Wrestling. And so the revolution begins:

The funny thing is I often do that for a different reason. I would call them spurious digits. Since they are not measurements, but integer counts used to calculate percentages I think I am OK on significance, but not so much on spuriousness. I occasionally dig up old stuff I did, like this, where, for some reason, I did not over-ride the default formatting in Tableau (BI software I often use instead of a spreadsheet). As the woman who edits the stuff I write for work can attest, I sometimes (often?) miss inconsistencies in formatting and phrasing in my own work. Feel no conflict. We can all use good editors. And since I cannot be responsible for disturbing Mr. Valentine's eternity, I have reformatted. RIP, good man.

So will Russian athletes be able to compete under another flag like they did in the recent WCs? If so, they still have the opportunity to compete, just that Russia will not be in the story. mspart

Punishing individual athletes does not make a nation a pariah. Nor does competing with those athletes imply any approval of his/her home country's internal or international actions. It is a huge price for an individual to pay when your options are to rescind your citizenship and place of birth or not compete.

Book bans in schools are not cancel culture. An act of cancel culture is to find dirt on the school librarian that put Gender Queer on the school bookshelf, publicly shame them, and take action to get them fired.

I may have started that movement here. I apologize. If it means more exposure, though... bring it. All for it.

If you are asking me if I ever tortured the numbers until they speak.....my answer is no comment.

Hopefully he kept the weight down from last year, he looked pretty good. But that is tough I know. Any recent pictures of the big lug? He better get working now. mspart

Familiarity. As a coaching staff you know which is the better wrestler I imagine...

I think you have the answer to the actual reason right in there...

Jordan is a piece of shit. But just to add some wrestling context to this wrestling, non political thread.......he did win a couple natties. (And then quickly started doing piece of shit type shit)

I think some coaches, in some situations, use the wrestle-off as a consideration, not necessarily a deciding factor, but a consideration. It was said that the reason Joe Smith wrestled the post season instead of Chandler Rogers was that he won the wrestle-off.

Where can I bet on this?

Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up lacrosse.
