    Would a true "alpha male" have a poll as to what he should do next? Or would he just do it?

    Victor Wembanyama gets drafted by the Spurs (along with his brother). He rapes a girl in San Antonio, posts a picture of his butthole on SM, totals a car and almost kills a teammate while driving like an asshole, his brother shoots up the house and car of another teammate for dating his sister. Spurs release him. Then he gets overtures from another team (say the Lakers), he goes to LA, signs a two-day contract to play in an intrasquad game and plays poorly but scores the winning basket at which point he takes a swing at Lebron then flips him off and all of the Lakers fans in attendance. After that he gives an interview in which he says that he's a good guy and a "christian", starts selling magic rocks and SM and is now saying the NBA is for pussies and he's going to do something tough like going to play in Turkey.

    He made many bets and lost then didn't pay up. Add in that while his posts look genuine here, they are not. He does it not out of interest of the subject(s) but out of facetious douche-baggery. if you notice nearly every thread he creates has ulterior motives of 'negging' individuals on 'his' team (Penn State)or he flat oit decrees #2 Central Michigan the new favorites because Ferrari Sr farted in their general direction - or something as ridiculous as that.

    This whole thing gets me thinking about the value of Zach Glazier. He did Iowa wrestling an enormous favor by providing the clearest possible demonstration of what they were about to take on before they had to take it fully on. Zach Glazier has to be Iowa's Most Valuable Wrestler.

    WA has three floating bridges. Two across Lake Washington from the east side into Seattle, or from Seattle to the east side if you prefer. These are freshwater bridges. There is another called the Hood Canal Bridge that spans a part of Puget Sound (salt water). This happens to be the longest salt water floating bridge in the world, perhaps the universe!! The floating bridge is a unique structure with pontoons underneath filled with air to keep the bridge floating on the water. Concrete is the main material used. There have been a few instances of the bridges sinking due to high winds and waves. The I-90 bridge was under maintenance during a rough storm and someone left the access to the pontoon open. It filled with water and took a section or two down. There used to be just one bridge there but another was built to take care of one way traffic. It wasn't too long after the second bridge became operational that the the other sank. So we still had a working bridge, just half the capacity as before but the same as some time before that. Apparently something similar happened to the Hood Canal Bridge. The WA Highway 520 bridge is pictured below going across Lake Washington from Bellevue to UW. Husky Stadium is at the end of the bridge on the upper right. Puget Sound is seen at the top of the photo. I just thought this might be interesting to the folks on the board. The bridges are a unique feature in the PNW. They are kind of fun to drive across. They used to have a section in the middle (I think Hood Canal still does) that would open to boat traffic. The bridges on Lake Washington no longer have that feature, I guess they just go around. You can take a boat to Puget Sound through the Ballard Locks from Lake Washington but I don't think there is any real big boat traffic that does this. So they probably head towards shore to go under the bridge as shown. The lake is blue in this picture. It does not often look like that. This must have been taken on one of the rare non overcast days. mspart

    I don't think it's likely Ohio State wins, but there are plenty of individual matches they could reasonably turn around. - Ragusin has wrestled very well this year, but Bouzakis certainly has the firepower to beat him. - I don't like the Gomez matchup for D'Emilio, style wise, but D'Emilio tends to build throughout the match and if Gomez doesn't open a big lead early there's a chance DD could nab a win late in the 3rd. - Lewan wrestles every match to a 1 or 2 point decision in either direction. - Amine is wrestling poorly, and Hepner beat him last year when Amine was having a similar run of bad form. - Bullock is having a nice year but isn't a guy you can just pencil in for W's against slightly inferior competition. - Davison is a definite favorite but Feldman seems to be getting back on track after a dreadful December. Again, I'm not predicting an upset, but there are plenty of opportunities here to turn the dual on its head. It's also in Columbus and will be a sell out in a loud venue.

    I dunno of many teams other than psu that can’t find a way to get 8 matches in. They are 73 days into the season. A match every 9 days isn’t a lot. CStar is almost at a match every 12.1 days. We are 45 days until the post season. 61% of the season is gone. #growthesportcarl

    Uhhh... let me stop you right there. 7 champs would be shocking. Very shocking. I would be shocked. Electrocuted. 10 AA's I think many of us were speculating before the season could be in the cards--seems less likely now with SVN down, but it wouldn't shock me if it still happens.

    I'm sorry you're a hypocrite. Only calling out name calling when its directed at someone you defend. In the entire conversation I asked questions to get clarity. If that threatens you, you and your ideas are the problem. Because you don't have the wherewithal to answer my questions to a satisfying extent is your lack of knowledge, creativity, or self awareness that your position is crap. You all answer the questions, if at all, that you know won't paint you into a corner. And you get upset when I point out you are dishonest(you are). Then you all feel attacked and lash out like toddlers wanting a cookie. You're embarrassing. I don't like the idea that people like you exist and spread your stupid in the same circles as I do. You make our community dumber. Here come the names again, have at it losers!

    In his weekly press availability, Cael said they are going to have to get the 149lber (Evans or Kasak, likely both) some more matches to help the conference qualify the weight and earn an allocation. So, seems that from that perspective there is certainly a negative side to reduced match counts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    At this point, Illinois under Poeta is the same as it was under Heff, very disappointing and a below average Big Ten 10. Blown out by Pitt, Mizz, and Ohio State. This will be another blow out and possibly a shut out. The only quality wrestlers are Webster, Ruth, and Luffman. The rest are about .500 wrestlers. Looking at the rest of their schedule, who are they favored against? Michigan State and that's it. 125- Ayala techs. Cardani 5-0 133- Teske dec. Madrigal 8-0 141- Woods maj. Pucino 12-0 149- Webster dec. Rathjen 12-3 - Could see Voinovich 157- Franek maj. Roberts 16-3 165- Caliendo dec. Moore 19-3 174- Ruth dec. Kennedy 19-6 -Would be interested to see if Iowa send Arnold out here or at 184. 184- Riggins dec. Connell 22-6 197- Glazier maj. Pettigrew 26-6 285- Luffman dec. Hill 26-9 -I'm guessing we see Kueter wrestle once this weekend as he works his way into wrestling shape. Either here or against NW, my thought is NW.

    Fifteen required for an RPI (must be against D1 competition). Coaches' Rank and Win Pct will earn an allocation for the B1G, but the lack of an RPI will negatively impact someone when applying the formula for seeding criteria. Example being Brooks as a #3 last year.

    No. They will have enough for 2 of 3 categories (coaches' poll, winning %) which is all you need to earn the conference an allocation.

    Key Takeaways from the week Several teams are in the heart of their dual seasons and taking on ranked and conference opponents. While the weather took a toll on the number of events that actually happened, there was still some great wrestling this past week. Let’s take a look at some of those results, a few open tournament results, and a huge dual matchup between two #1 teams. Bearcats Shred the Competition at MoBap Open McKendree finished the day with 5 champions at the Missouri Baptist Open. A few notable wins were Julia Vidallon, who is listed on the roster as a 123lber, winning the tournament at 116lbs including a 7-4 decision win in the finals over #6 Caitlyn Thorne of Lindenwood. Vidallon had a tough draw at National Duals losing to both #2 Sydney Petzinger of North Central and #4 Melanie Mendoza of King. The win over Thorne is a big one, and seeing that 116 lbs is one of three weights where McKendree does not have a ranked wrestler, we could see Vidallon continuing to battle it out at the weight. #2 Cam Guerin showed her dominance winning her first three matches by fall in under a minute. Cayden Condit of Lindenwood held out a little longer in the finals match, but inevitably took the loss via fall to Guerin after 1:56 seconds. Guerin has been consistently dominant this season, with her toughest match being a close loss to then #3, now #1 Victoria Baez-Dilone of King. If the brackets line up correctly, these two could find themselves at the finals of the NCWWC in March, and I think after the close decision last time, I would take Guerin to get her revenge and win for the title. Nichole Moore at 123 lbs, #5 Alex Szkotnicki at 136 lbs, and #6 Viktorya Torres at 143 lbs were the other champs on the day for McKendree. The team had plans to compete in their own Bearcat Open, but that was unfortunately canceled due to weather. Their next dual will be Senior Night against Missouri Baptist before competing at regionals and then NCWWCs. It will be interesting to see how many Bearcats qualify for nationals and the much-anticipated return of Emma Bruntil. If I had to guess, I think that McKendree will outperform their fourth-place team ranking at Nationals. A Top-10 Conference Dual More Lopsided than Expected The #8 William Penn Statesmen hosted the #3 Grand View Vikings in a conference matchup this past week with potential for several ranked matchups. While the Vikings have more ranked wrestlers in their starting lineup, the Statesmen certainly have the talent to keep duals interesting. However, in this matchup, Grand View came out swinging winning the first 6 matches. Jalen Bets got the Vikings started with a tech fall followed by teammate Judy Sandoval getting a pin at 109 lbs. At 116 lbs, Mayagelie Colon got the upset win over #9 Catherine Steinkamp. Next, at 123 lbs, #9 Catharine Campbell got the tech fall over #18 Grecia Martinez 12-2. With Martinez putting up two points against her opponent, she finally got the Statesmen on the board. At 130 lbs, it looked like William Penn were going to finally get a win in this dual when #5 Joanna Vanderwood went up 8-0 early after a blast double into a leg lace with multiple turns. Action was stopped for injury time where it appeared Maya Davis of Grand View hurt her lower back before Vanderwood could complete another roll-through. After restarting with Vanderwood on top, she could not seem to get another turn, so the two were reset to neutral. From the tie, it appeared that Vanderwood attempted an arm spin, but landed on her back. From there, she is unable to react quickly enough to belly down and Davis catches her head and secures the pin for the Vikings. At 136 lbs, #3 Andrea Schlabach also gets a pin over Devin Patton. From there, the Statesmen began a streak of wins themselves, starting with the upset at 143 lbs with #14 Isabelle Hawley getting a 4-1 decision over #6 Madison Diaz. Next, up two weight classes from her usual 136 lbs spot, #1 Adaugo Nwachukwu teched #12 at 155 lbs Mahealani Ramirez in one of the premier matches of the night. Finally, Ashley Lekas who won U23 Nationals last season as part of the Augsburg team, returned to the mat for just her fourth match on the season and got the tech against #1 Abby McIntyre. Lekas has impressive wins in her career including a win against Joye Levendusky at the aforementioned USA Wrestling Nationals. This win over the #1 will certainly be an important part of her record as well. Barring future injuries like the one she’s dealt with this season, she should continue to shine against the toughest competition at the weight. With the dual already out of hand, the Vikings bookended the dual with a pin from #3 Olivia Brown at 191 lbs over Samantha Ruano. I had really looked forward to this dual as one that could shake out to be a 5-5 matchup with the dual coming down to a singular upset or bonus or criteria points. However, the Vikings had other plans and really solidified their top 3 ranking in this one. William Penn was also missing top-ranked Mia Palumbo here as well. We will see many of these matchups again at conferences, so there is certainly a chance for redemption for the Statesmen, but it could also provide another opportunity for Grand View to continue their dominant performances. #1 vs #1 Ends With Another Dominant Hawkeye Victory In a highly anticipated dual since its announcement, the #1 NAIA school, Life, took on the #1 NCAA school Iowa as part of a tri dual with Missouri Valley this past Sunday. After each team had dominant showings against Missouri Valley, it was time for the two to face off. We saw matchups between the teams at a few open tournaments this season, but both teams are extremely skilled dual teams with 19 of the 20 wrestlers ranked in the top 10 of their respective divisions. However, this matchup got out of hand quickly for Life. The first two matches were quick technical falls from #2 (NCAA) Sterling Dias and #2 (NCAA) Ava Bayless. Next, #3 Brianna Gonzalez got a pin in just over 2 minutes. #3 Felicity Taylor followed up quickly with a tech fall of her own. At 130 lbs, Life finally got one in the win column from #2 (NAIA) Sarah Savidge over Iowa’s #10 (NCAA) Emily Frost. I had 136 lbs circled after news earlier this month that both Nanea Estrella and Esther Han would not be continuing to compete this season, leaving the 136 lbs spot open to Lilly Luft. Luft struggled against some NCAA competition at National Duals in this spot, but got herself a win here over #9 (NAIA) Zaynah McBryde with a pin in the second minute of the match. As we continued into the McBryde section of Life’s lineup, I thought perhaps Life could string together a few more wins here. However, the rematch between #2 (NCAA) Reese Larramendy and #1 (NAIA) Jamilah McBryde was not as high-flying as their last matchup where the score was 22-20 before Larramendy got the win. Instead, Larramendy got the 12-4 decision. Similarly, while #2 (NAIA) Latifah McBryde kept it close with #1 (NCAA) Marlynne Deede, it wasn’t enough to get the win as Deede walked away with the 3-1 victory. From there, the Hawkeyes’ #1 (NCAA) Kylie Welker got a 23-second tech fall followed by a 2-0 decision at 191 lbs for the Hawkeyes as well from #3 Jaycee Foeller. This was a tough dual for Life, as even their top-ranked squad seemed a little outmatched in Carver-Hawkeye. In addition to Iowa just having a dominant squad, I do think they perform better warmed up with their wrestlers having a match or two already under their belt on the day. Regardless, feeling the pressure of this tough competition seems like a great opportunity to regroup back in the practice room for Life before conferences and nationals against NAIA competition. Coach Ashley Flavin had been hoping for this matchup from what she said to me in a preseason interview, as she is always looking to line up challenging competition for her team. If iron sharpens iron, then both of these teams should be set to slash through some competition for the rest of this season.

    So now we have it. Resorted to name calling. But before that, you resorted to acting like a 3 year old asking why about everything. Why is 2+2 = 4. Because that is life. But why? Because two fingers plus two fingers is 4 fingers. But why? Because Isaac Newton said so. But why? Because he invented the idea of gravity. But why? Because he wanted to do it before the German guy did it. But why? Because you'll be in time out if you ask why again. But why? Ok, time out. But why? Door slams. Yes this is a ridiculous example to type out. But you are the little 3 year old and it is impossible to have a conversation with you when you demand answers but provide none. We've had that here before many times. Always irritating to say the least. Nobody argues with your right to ask a question. But when you refuse to answer questions, it is not a conversation anymore, just an attempt at misdirection. You are the example the title of this thread is talking about. mspart

    You are conflating two very different issues. Voting and votes should be without question reliable and secure. If not, then that should be investigated. This is different from my house being investigated which would be a violation of my constitutional rights. Looking into voting malfeasance is not against any constitutional right. Your example is an example of refusing to see what is right in front of you and making up argument to try to divert attention from what is right in front of you. Can't see the forest for the trees is apt. mspart
