I like the current arrangement where I know the information already but I pay them to recite it back to me and they get it wrong.6 points

@grogs84 reached out to me the other day and and asked me if I wanted a data set that contained every result from every match from every tournament from 1988 - 2021. Uhhhh, does a swimmer spit in the pool? So, if you like more of these data driven discussions make sure to throw a thank you his way. On the other hand, for those of you who were hoping I would run out of ideas and data, whoo boy, look out. On the same day our own @Husker_Du offered me a better version of the Big Board to use. Rather than use what is posted on Flo (a mishmash of when they were wise enough to have Willie do it and when they were not) I got the pure stuff, right from the source. I have both data sets hooked up straight to my veins at this point, and I am ready to roll. Not telling what is going to emerge from my fever dreams now. Thank you both, gentlemen.5 points

I did like “the two thumbs” as well. Basch is OK but his PSU homerism gets annoying5 points

99.9% sure that was the year that the rules changed to allow pins if any part of the body was inbounds. I think that was also the same year that the line was changed from being the boundary to the edge. But that was also almost two decades ago so I should 100% be fact-checked.3 points

Maybe G.S. will ORS in order to drag this out into next year as well?3 points

The only reason I subscribe to Flo is because they have some actual wrestling tournaments streamed at points throughout the season. I don't read their articles or rankings (unless otherwise prompted) and would appreciate if they reallocated some of those "resources" toward enhancing the user experience for streaming wrestling tournaments and duals. I use the monthly subscription to Flo because I choose a month or two here and there where there a bunch of streamed events and am basically a part-time customer.2 points

Embarrassing. I tagged the wrong Bernie. It gets worse. I didn't recognize there was more than one Bernie account. I've been confused as to why 'Bernie' was posting differently than 'Bernie.' I was an idiot, and I apologize for being an idiot.2 points

@jross and others can corroborate my ability to read and write well enough to not "tag" the wrong person. A modicum of logic would come to the conclusion that I was responding to jross' mention of me. Why else would I join this little soiree? I was wrong when I previously said nothing has changed in this forum. I think the average IQ has gone down in the 6 months since I was last here. Sadly it's approaching that of other social media.2 points

I hope Evan Thick shows up just completely jacked out of his mind and has an ass that would make Nikki Minaj jealous. I want to see full-on Marvel superhero workouts with Hugh Jackman and Chris Pratt posted in the days leading up. Something that would make even Kyle Snyder say "ooooooo this thicc boi deadlifts" Hopefully he finally went through puberty and filled out his frame a la Taylor. Just maybe with different treigning methods. Or not! Just be less puffy than Zahid and we are good!2 points

I'll bite here, just because I don't want people to be more stupid after reading this stupid OP. Him coming in allows Joles to go 197 which in turn also ensures that both Max McNelly and Gavin Nelson both get to redshirt this season. Then both of them can run four years with Hopke as a 8-9-10 punch (Hopke to not redshirt).2 points

Squirming is something I definitely look at. Bottom guy legit squirming? He is not stalling. If the top guy is "legit working power halves" but staying on the squirming man's hips and still nothing is happening, I'll give him a little bit of time. After a while it is going to be a stalemate. If the same situation is happening with no scoring, it will probably be stalling on the top guy eventually. I probably give the top man more time than most refs in my area, but at some point he needs to get a turn or get to a new position.2 points

I will probably never understand why Gable went through qualifying for Worlds only to skip it and then come back to win an NCAA title.2 points

It was a bit of sarcasm but also we don't need the massive IRS to have those things. Get ride of the loop holes, go to flat or vat or combination, other etc and reduce the excesses and waste.2 points

I agree the dramatic in/out game is terribly annoying, but this outcome is best imo. It is good for wrestling when Gable Stevenson is wrestling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk2 points

Those lights are no joke. It messed my 1 eye up bad. I had a patch on it for a few weeks then sunglasses for a few months. It still has issues with the sun and bright lights. I have broken many bones and have had 2 kidney stones and that was definitely worse. I know Willie will agree there's nothing worse then that2 points

After 9/11, my interactions with Muslims opened my eyes to a different perspective. I've worked alongside a Muslim colleague for over a decade, and I envy his kindness and humility. He represents one of the billions who adhere to the fundamental tenets of Islam, pray regularly, and harbor no intolerance to non-Muslims. Similar to the Quran, there are controversial passages within the Hebrew and Christian Bibles that extremists interpret to rationalize violence. Some extremist groups lay claim to Christianity, yet the majority view Christianity as a religion that promotes peace. More than 120 scholars have attested to Islam's core message of peace. Understanding the nuances of religious texts is complex, especially when coupled with sociopolitical issues that can lead to violence. Some of y'all are making misguided generalizations about Muslims. I think this comes from America's indoctrination, as well as the mental shortcuts and cognitive biases that prevent nuanced understanding of different viewpoints, like those shared by @BerniePragle.2 points

Watching the Yogi Berra documentary on Netflix. Good stuff. Actually has a short interview with Hudson Taylor regarding Yogi’s support of LGBTQ athletes. Impressed that Hudson has such a leadership role in the community.2 points

Being in the US it would have to be at a catch weight for Micic, like 97. I kid. I kid.1 point

Also, the Michigan Benedict Arnolds should show up just to blow up the brackets, errr I mean to get additional experience. I would pay all the moneys for a Micic/Lee match. Pure fireworks.1 point

It is single elimination for the challengers. That winner will take on Richards and Lee best of three.1 point

Agreed. Thanks BNW. So it is the challenge that I am confused about. This would have to happen before OTTs. How will that work? mspart1 point

Current WTT member unless challenged. Olympic Last Chance will be the OTT winner but hopefully will not need to be attended because whoever goes to Pan Am continental qualifier at 57 and 65 gets the job done.1 point

It really does not seem to be advantageous to any of the challengers to do so. They force themselves to make scratch 3x instead of just once if they win: challenge tourney/match + Pan Am + OTT. Especially at 57. Knowing how tough the cut is for Gilman, Vito, Fix, and Richards it really does seem silly to make weight multiple times when the strategic advantage is to only make Richards make it 2x (Pan Am + OTT). At least Vito can sit until the semis (and same with Retherford if he decides to cut back down to *65 which the eye test says will be a tough cut). I get the whole competitor’s mentality aspect but strategically I don’t.1 point
-
If the weight is not qualified at Pan Ams there is a last chance qualifier that is world wide. Top 3 qualify the weight so they wrestle to true third. Pan Ams does not wrestle to true second. Both finalists qualify the weight.1 point
