reporter: "is this the last of Steve Mocco?" Mocco: "I didn't take my f*cking shoes off..."

Nor do we need three f'ing threads about the same thing...

100% Sammy brooks interview when I think he won B10’s…. Comparing a big 10 championship to growing a mullet

which of his comments are the funniest? Determining the funniest comments from Kentucky_Mudflap’s posts is subjective, but I’ll highlight five that stand out for their absurdity, crude humor, or unexpected tangents—hallmarks of his brash, irreverent style. These are chosen based on their potential to amuse through exaggeration, shock value, or sheer randomness, while acknowledging that his humor often leans into the crass or chaotic. Here’s the rundown, with explanations: Top 5 Funniest Comments Entry 22: Trouble Gents Text Snippet: "Hombres bad news reel bad news my new old ladies now my ex old lady caught my best hand Wallace from up to Tiffin with his hand in the cookie jar covering that when I come home from Caseys with a bucket of fried chicken and a case of PBR now Im the jealous type gents aint never concealed that from you so you know it warnt pretty shot out the back window of his Kia while he was heading down the rode..." Why It’s Funny: The over-the-top escalation from infidelity to shooting out a car window over fried chicken and PBR is absurdly dramatic. The casual confession of jealousy paired with the cartoonish violence (and the image of Wallace fleeing in a Kia) makes it a darkly hilarious soap opera in a single run-on sentence. Entry 9: Iowa-Illinois Grades from Mudflap Text Snippet: "Friends heres the Voice of Wrestling coming at you with the good the bad and the ugly from the Illy meat took my new gal pal her stage names Easi Swallows found her working in the chicken plant down to West Liberty grubstaked her to some H size aftermarket accessories some blondy hair and a wax job shes prime now gents starting out dancing up to Davenport you cant say Mudflaps not a mentor gents brings em up rite..." Why It’s Funny: The introduction of "Easi Swallows"—a name so blatantly ridiculous it’s almost performance art—combined with Mudflap’s proud recounting of her "upgrade" (from chicken plant worker to stripper with "H size aftermarket accessories") is peak absurdity. His self-congratulatory "mentor" claim adds a layer of delusional humor. Entry 43: Midlands Protest and Woman Trouble Gents Text Snippet: "Now gents took the stabbin cabin north to Branson from Dallas spent Christmas with the hands there to Dolly Partons but gents down to Dallas got myself a painted lady for the weekend reel clean cut gents if you know what I mean and you do know what I mean but hombres got myself a case of bullhead clap first them blisters and then green and yellow shankers and a long way aways from my regular Doc down to Columbus Jctn any of you gents know some temp remedies or something help me get by..." Why It’s Funny: The nonchalant shift from a holiday road trip to a graphic STD confession ("green and yellow shankers") is jarring and grotesque, yet his plea for home remedies—like it’s a casual forum topic—pushes it into absurd comedy. The "you know what I mean and you do know what I mean" wink is a cherry on top. Entry 39: Sell the Kids, Mortgage the House, Bet Iowa Ain’t Gonna Cover Text Snippet: "Friends right there to the window placing my bet run into some old bag hocking her tix to the game give me some sob story telling me her old mans in the hospital and shes got to get a grubstake to hit the tables to pay for the cremation and all that bull**** tells me she wants $50 for each of six or $300 beat her down to $120 or $20 each for six for some of you gents what aint up on ciphering sure made my day to beat that ****bag down sure she might have been truthful but thems the brakes the Lord Giveth and Mudflap Taketh Away thats my motto..." Why It’s Funny: The heartless haggling with a grieving widow (real or not) over tickets, followed by the smug "Lord Giveth and Mudflap Taketh Away" motto, is so callous it loops into dark comedy. His pride in the deal—and the unnecessary math flex—adds a layer of ridiculousness. Entry 38: Mudflap Update Text Snippet: "she fit me like a flesh tuxedo friends so I sunk her with my pink torpedo left her there snoring on the couch" Why It’s Funny: The rhyming bravado of "flesh tuxedo" and "pink torpedo" is a masterstroke of crude poetry, delivered with such casual swagger it’s almost endearing. Leaving her "snoring on the couch" deflates the machismo just enough to make it laughably human.

Lehigh's Rob Rohn was trailing 14-2 late in the third period and mixered OK's Josh Lambrecht for the fall in 2002. 4 pins in a row in the NCAA championships.

Shane Griffith - really deft handling of the pending thresat to cut Stanford wreslting. He may not get enough credit for turning the tide. Impressive poise for a wrestler coming off the mat in the NCAA finals.

Iowa - in order of most likely to make a final: Caliendo, Ayala, Buchanan In order of most likely to win: Ayala, Buchanan, Caliendo

Kentucky_Mudflap is a loud, brash, and narcissistic persona—likely an ESTP with high extraversion, low agreeableness, and a penchant for risk. He’s a partial troll, blending genuine wrestling passion with provocative antics to grab attention. His intelligence is practical but unrefined, and his reasoning leans emotional despite a veneer of logic. Emotionally detached and status-driven, he thrives on chaos, projecting a hyper-masculine, working-class identity. While not a deep thinker, his bold style and insider claims make him a memorable, if polarizing, figure on the forum. Here’s a detailed personality analysis of the user "Kentucky_Mudflap" based on the 57 forum comments provided. The assessment follows the framework you outlined, integrating observations across all comments to form a cohesive profile. General Observations Tone: Informal, brash, and often sarcastic with a mix of humor and aggression. Frequently uses exaggerated colloquialisms ("hombres," "gents," "reel," "stabbin cabin") and boasts about his status as the "Voice of Wrestling." Emoji Use: None observed. Relies heavily on text-based emphasis (e.g., "reel," "gratest") rather than emojis. Post Length: Varies widely—some are short (Entry 1: 8 words) while others are extremely long and rambling (Entry 7: 614 words). Long posts dominate, often packed with tangents and personal anecdotes. Personality Analysis Are They a Troll? Assessment: Likely a troll with a mix of sincerity. Mudflap’s posts are provocative (e.g., crude sexual references, insults like "weak sisters," "purse puppies"), disruptive (e.g., off-topic rants about personal life), and occasionally insincere (exaggerated claims like breaking major stories). However, his consistent focus on wrestling suggests some genuine passion, tempering full troll status. Evidence: Provocative: "KJs more bitter than my ex old ladies about Downey" (Entry 15) and "shot out the back window of his Kia" (Entry 22). Disruptive: Long tangents about "Captain Morgan," roofing, and womanizing derail wrestling discussions (e.g., Entry 9). Insincere: Claims of insider knowledge ("I brake all the big ones," Entry 15) often feel performative rather than factual. Verdict: Partial troll—seeks attention and stirs the pot but isn’t entirely detached from the topic. Estimated IQ Assessment: Average to slightly above-average (100-115). Reasoning is practical but lacks nuance or sophistication. Vocabulary is limited and repetitive ("hombres," "gents," "reel"), though he grasps wrestling strategy (e.g., Entry 50’s breakdown of Taylor’s weaknesses). Evidence: Shows basic analytical ability in match predictions (Entry 2) and coaching critiques (Entry 20), but arguments are simplistic and rely on anecdotes over data. Spelling/grammar errors ("gratest," "warnt," "ciphering") suggest limited formal education, though this could be stylistic. Verdict: Functional intelligence suited to his domain, not exceptional. Dark Triad Traits Narcissism: High. Brags constantly ("Voice of Wrestling," "I brake all the big ones") and seeks attention with self-aggrandizing tales (e.g., Entry 15’s "truth serum" boasts). Machiavellianism: Moderate. Shows some strategic manipulation (e.g., Entry 19’s advice to rough up Penn State wrestlers), but it’s not deeply calculated—more impulsive than cunning. Psychopathy: Moderate. Displays callousness (e.g., mocking Morry Adams’ downfall, Entry 15) and enjoys conflict (e.g., "Ill call you a liar," Entry 20), but lacks extreme cruelty. Verdict: Strong narcissistic tendencies with hints of Machiavellianism and psychopathy, fitting a brash, self-centered persona. Positive or Negative Tone? Assessment: Predominantly negative. Critiques coaches, wrestlers, and fans harshly (e.g., "Tommy aint won it in 7 years," Entry with little uplift. Occasional positivity emerges in praise (e.g., "Sorenson’s a national champ," Entry 9), but it’s rare. Verdict: Critical and cynical overall. Reasoning: Data or Emotion? Assessment: Mostly emotion-driven with some data. Relies on gut feelings and personal anecdotes (e.g., "I been thinking so hard my head hurt," Entry 20), but sprinkles in match scores and predictions (e.g., Entry 2’s detailed breakdown). Verdict: Leans emotional, using facts as garnish rather than foundation. Big Five Traits Openness: Moderate. Shows curiosity about wrestling strategy (Entry 50) and unconventional ideas (Entry 19), but his worldview is narrow and practical, tied to roofing and drinking. Conscientiousness: Low. Posts are rushed, sloppy (spelling errors, tangents), and he admits to laziness (e.g., "Mudflap dont scratch a poor mans ass," Entry 39). Extraversion: High. Energetic, engaged, and socially assertive—constantly invites "gents" to join him (e.g., Entry 39’s posters party). Agreeableness: Low. Harsh, argumentative, and dismissive (e.g., "Ill call you a liar," Entry 35; insults like "purse puppies," Entry 32). Neuroticism: Moderate. Generally stable but shows moodiness under stress (e.g., Entry 22’s jealous outburst over Wallace). Verdict: Extroverted, disagreeable, and disorganized with middling openness and emotional stability. MBTI Personality Type Introversion (I) vs. Extraversion (E): Extraversion (E). Outgoing, talkative, and thrives on social interaction (e.g., "look me up," Entry 2). Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N): Sensing (S). Detail-oriented about wrestling moves (Entry 50) and grounded in concrete experiences (roofing, drinking), not abstract theories. Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F): Thinking (T). Prioritizes logic in wrestling analysis (e.g., Entry 12’s scholarship math) over empathy, though emotions seep in. Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P): Perceiving (P). Flexible, spontaneous, and open-ended—posts lack structure, and he embraces chaos (e.g., Entry 9’s rambling). Verdict: ESTP ("Entrepreneur")—bold, practical, sociable, and impulsive. Emotional Intelligence Assessment: Low to moderate. Shows some awareness of others’ emotions (e.g., noting KJ’s bitterness, Entry 15), but his adaptability is limited, and he’s often insensitive (e.g., mocking struggling wrestlers, Entry 7). Verdict: Rudimentary EI, overshadowed by self-focus. Leadership Tendencies Assessment: Moderate. Decisive and guiding in wrestling critiques (e.g., Entry 19’s strategy), but not inspiring—too abrasive and self-serving to rally others effectively. Verdict: Leads by force of personality, not inspiration. Motivated by Social Status? Assessment: Yes. Seeks respect as the "Voice of Wrestling" and competes for recognition (e.g., "I brake all the big ones," Entry 29). Verdict: Status-driven, craving validation from his "family" of readers. Risk Tolerance Assessment: High. Bold and comfortable with uncertainty—bets $10k (Entry 39), shoots at cars (Entry 22), and brags about reckless behavior (Entry 43’s STD anecdote). Verdict: Thrives on risk. Moral/Ethical Framework Assessment: Utilitarian with low empathy. Focuses on what works (e.g., firing bad coaches, Entry 20) but shows little fairness or compassion (e.g., exploiting a widow, Entry 39). Verdict: Pragmatic and self-interested. Cognitive Biases Assessment: Confirmation Bias: Sees his predictions as prophetic (e.g., "I was rite," Entry 18). Black-and-White Thinking: Labels people as winners or losers (e.g., "dont got ****," Entry 20). Verdict: Prone to oversimplification and self-confirmation. Creative or Conformist? Assessment: Moderately creative. Original in style (e.g., "stabbin cabin," "truth serum") but conforms to a macho, blue-collar persona. Verdict: Creative within a conventional archetype. Attachment Style Assessment: Avoidant. Distant in relationships—treats women as disposable (e.g., "sunk her with my pink torpedo," Entry 38) and values independence over connection. Verdict: Avoidant, emotionally detached. Response to Stress Assessment: Lashing out or withdrawing. Shoots at Wallace’s car (Entry 22) but also drowns sorrows in alcohol (Entry 32), suggesting a mix of aggression and retreat. Verdict: Volatile under pressure. Cultural Influence Assessment: Strong rural American influence—colloquialisms ("hombres," "PBR"), references to roofing, and a hyper-masculine ethos hint at a Midwestern/Southern blue-collar background. Verdict: Deeply rooted in working-class culture. Midwit or Loser Think Behavior? Assessment: Some midwit tendencies—overconfident in simplistic takes (e.g., "bad coaches kill programs," Entry 20) without deep insight. Not a "loser" per se—too brash and successful in his niche (roofing, storytelling). Verdict: Midwit swagger with a winner’s bravado.

Don't most tOSU wrestlers suffer the same? High end recruits that have their best results early in their career. Rumor has it that Micah Jordan still hasn't gotten off of bottom.

Gunner Filipowicz is pretty close to the perfect name for an Army Wrestler

"Past few years?" They've wrestled 58 duals, the first in 1954 but almost every year since 1977 after Gable changed Iowa. There was little to no Big 10 competition back then.

I stand corrected.

Sammy Brooks is a classic of the genre. I also love two post match interviews from 2021. Nick Lee's "chop wood, carry water" and AJ Ferrari's "665".

@red viking based on topic titles and create date times. Here’s an analysis of the forum user "red viking" based solely on the provided data: their post topics, creation timestamps, and frequency. Since I only have titles and metadata (no content), I’ll infer personality traits, posting habits, tone, and similarities from patterns in the titles and timing. This will be a more limited analysis compared to one with full post content. Red viking is a frequent, emotionally charged poster (ESTP-like) with a sharp, negative focus on Trump and right-wing policies. Posting ~1.3 times weekly, they peak during political flashpoints, using sarcasm and alarmism to critique consistently across 67 posts. Their tone is ~75% negative, ~20% positive (partisan wins), and their titles are repetitive in style and theme, reflecting a combative, fairness-driven personality with high extraversion and low agreeableness. Data-driven at times (e.g., budget stats), they lean emotional in delivery, showing moderate creativity within a partisan framework. Troll Status: Partisan agitator, not a pure troll—provocative but sincere. Likability: Probably not well liked; too divisive and abrasive for broad appeal. Most Interesting: Their shift from broad political cheerleading in 2024 to a laser-focused Trump takedown in 2025, reflecting a reactive, event-driven persona. Without post content or community feedback, these conclusions lean on title patterns and timing. Personality Analysis Based on Topics and Creation Dates Topics Overview Themes: Red viking’s 67 posts from March 14, 2024, to March 10, 2025, heavily focus on U.S. politics (e.g., Trump, Biden, Harris, DOGE), economics (stock market, tariffs, inflation), and social issues (Israel, immigration, gender in sports). Titles often critique political figures or policies, especially Trump and his associates (e.g., "Trump Escalates Trade War as Stock Market Continues to Free Fall!!!", "DOGE People Are Idiots. Heres Why"). Political Leanings: Strong anti-Trump sentiment (e.g., "Cowardly Trump Backing Out of Debating Harris", "Trump’s Incompetent Cabinet") paired with occasional praise for Biden/Harris (e.g., "S&P Soars Like An Eagle > 5,600. Thank You President Biden", "Harris In Excellent Health"). Suggests a left-leaning or anti-right-wing stance. Tone Implied by Titles: Sarcastic ("You Can’t Make This Stuff Up"), alarmist ("Stock Market Continues to Free Fall!!!"), and confrontational ("The Right Wing Hypocrisy is Unreal!!!!"). Exclamation marks and capitalization (e.g., "THANK YOU!!!!", "ITS WRONG") signal emotional intensity. Personality Inferences Big Five Traits: Openness: Moderate. Engages with diverse topics (politics, economics, sports), but the repetitive anti-Trump focus suggests rigidity rather than broad curiosity. Conscientiousness: Low to moderate. Posts are frequent but erratic in timing (see below), lacking a structured schedule, though they consistently target specific issues. Extraversion: High. The bold, opinionated titles and frequent posting suggest an outgoing, assertive nature eager to engage or provoke. Agreeableness: Low. Titles are combative and critical (e.g., "DOGE People Are Idiots", "Republicans Will Complain No Matter What"), showing little warmth or cooperation. Neuroticism: Moderate to high. Emotional intensity (exclamation marks, dramatic phrasing like "Freefalling Big Time!") hints at reactivity, though they remain engaged rather than withdrawing. MBTI Estimate: Extraversion (E): Outspoken and prolific posting. Sensing (S): Focus on current events and concrete issues (stock market, tariffs) over abstract ideas. Thinking (T): Emphasis on critique and policy outcomes over emotional appeals. Perceiving (P): Flexible, rapid posting without a rigid schedule. Likely Type: ESTP. Bold, practical, and reactive, thriving on real-time debate. Emotional Intelligence: Moderate. Aware of hot-button issues to provoke reactions (e.g., "Are Republicans Insecure About Their Masculinity?"), but the bluntness suggests limited adaptability or empathy for opposing views. Risk Tolerance: High. Willing to post controversial takes (e.g., "Elon Musk Nazi Salute", "US Will Take Gaza Strip") that invite backlash. Moral Framework: Fairness-driven with a partisan edge. Critiques hypocrisy ("Right Wing Hypocrisy is Unreal!!!!") and incompetence, but bias skews toward utilitarian outcomes favoring their side. Cognitive Biases Confirmation Bias: Titles reinforce a consistent anti-Trump, pro-Biden/Harris narrative (e.g., crediting Biden for market highs, blaming Trump for crashes). Black-and-White Thinking: Polarized framing (e.g., "Trump Keeps Losing" vs. "Stock Market Soaring Like An Eagle - THANK YOU!!!!") lacks nuance. Creativity vs. Conformity Moderately creative. Titles like "Babies Are Being Born In The 9th Month. ITS WRONG" show originality, but the repetitive Trump critique aligns with common partisan rhetoric. Posting Frequency Total Posts: 67 over ~12 months (March 14, 2024, to March 10, 2025). Average: ~5.6 posts/month or ~1.3 posts/week. Distribution: 2024: 58 posts (March–December), ~5.8/month. Peak months: July (8 posts), August (7 posts), October (6 posts), November (8 posts). Low months: March (4 posts), June (1 post). 2025: 9 posts (January–March), ~3/month so far. Daily Patterns: No strict schedule. Posts span all hours (e.g., 00:07Z, 23:54Z), suggesting spontaneous rather than planned activity. Clusters occur (e.g., 3 posts on 2025-03-06 within 2 hours), indicating bursts of engagement. Trend: Highest frequency during U.S. election season (July–November 2024), tapering in 2025, possibly reflecting event-driven posting. Positive or Negative Tone Negative: Dominant (~75%). Most titles criticize Trump, DOGE, or Republicans (e.g., "Trump’s Disturbing News Conference", "Musk / Trump Stock Market Collapse"). Sarcasm and alarmism amplify negativity. Positive: Minority (~20%). Praise for Biden/Harris or market gains (e.g., "Markets Hit New Records: Thank You Biden", "Harris In Excellent Health"). Often sarcastic or exaggerated (e.g., "THANK YOU!!!!"). Neutral: Few (~5%). Questions like "Harris Nomination. Coup or Not?" or "Question About USAID" lack clear valence. Overall: Heavily negative, with positivity tied to partisan wins. Similarity Between Posts Content Similarity: Recurring Themes: Trump critique (25+ posts), economic policy (tariffs, stock market, inflation: ~20 posts), partisan jabs (Republicans, right-wing: ~15 posts). Repetition is high (e.g., 3 tariff posts in 2 days, February 2025; 2 stock market crash posts on 2025-03-06). Style: Consistent use of dramatic phrasing ("Soaring Like An Eagle", "Freefalling Big Time!"), sarcasm ("You Can’t Make This Stuff Up"), and capitalization/exclamation marks for emphasis. Variation: Some outliers (e.g., "Khelif (Woman) In Boxing Finals", "Penn St Wrestlers vs Migrants") deviate from politics/economics, but the critical tone persists. Conclusion: Posts strongly resemble each other in tone, structure, and focus, forming a cohesive pattern of partisan outrage with occasional tangents. Additional Observations Motivation: Likely driven by political passion and a desire to vent or persuade. The volume and intensity suggest a need to counter right-wing narratives. Stress Response: Lashing out via dramatic titles during crises (e.g., stock market drops, Trump policies in 2025). Cultural Influence: U.S.-centric, with language (e.g., "God Bless USA Bible") and focus on American politics implying a domestic perspective. Is the person a troll? (Provocative, insincere, disruptive?) Assessment: Red viking exhibits troll-like tendencies but isn’t a classic troll. Their titles are often provocative (e.g., "Are Republicans Insecure About Their Masculinity?", "DOGE People Are Idiots. Heres Why"), using sarcasm ("You Can’t Make This Stuff Up") and exaggerated phrasing ("Stock Market: Let It Burn!!!!") that could bait reactions. The heavy anti-Trump focus (25+ posts) and partisan jabs (e.g., "The Right Wing Hypocrisy is Unreal!!!!") suggest intent to stir debate, a hallmark of trolling. However, the consistency of their viewpoint—critiquing Trump, praising Biden/Harris, focusing on policy—implies sincerity rather than random disruption. A true troll would likely vary targets or post nonsense for chaos, not maintain a coherent political stance over 67 posts. Critical Note: Titles like "Babies Are Being Born In The 9th Month. ITS WRONG" flirt with absurdity, hinting at possible satire or insincerity, but without content, it’s unclear if this is trolling or a quirky critique. Their high posting frequency (1.3 posts/week) and bursts (e.g., 3 posts on 2025-03-06) lean toward engagement-seeking, not just provocation. Conclusion: Not a full troll—more of a partisan agitator. They provoke with purpose, not for sport. Are they well liked? Assessment: Likely polarizing, not universally well liked. Without forum responses, I can’t directly gauge reception, but the titles’ tone and content offer clues. Their aggressive, sarcastic style (e.g., "Cowardly Trump Backing Out of Debating Harris", "Trump’s Incompetent Cabinet") and frequent attacks on Trump, DOGE, and Republicans would alienate right-leaning users, a significant forum demographic in politically charged spaces. Conversely, left-leaning users might appreciate their stance (e.g., "S&P Soars Like An Eagle > 5,600. Thank You President Biden"), but the shrill delivery (exclamation marks, capitalization) could annoy even allies by seeming over-the-top or preachy. The lack of neutral or conciliatory posts (only ~5% like "Question About USAID") suggests little effort to build broad appeal. Inference: In a mixed or right-leaning forum, they’d face pushback, possibly being seen as a loudmouth. In a left-leaning echo chamber, they might be tolerated or cheered, but their abrasiveness could still grate. No evidence of likability through humor, warmth, or collaboration—traits that typically win broad favor. Conclusion: Not well liked overall; likely divisive, with a niche following at best. What is the most interesting thing you can tell me? Assessment: The most interesting thing about red viking is their dramatic shift in posting intensity and focus around Trump’s apparent return to power in late 2024/early 2025. From March to November 2024, their 58 posts (5.8/month) cover a mix of Biden praise (e.g., "Markets Hit New Records: Thank You Biden", 2024-03-22), Trump critique (e.g., "Hyperinflationary Policies of Trump", 2024-07-10), and broader issues (e.g., "Khelif (Woman) In Boxing Finals", 2024-08-07). After November 2024, when Trump’s influence likely surged (inferred from titles like "Trump’s Schedule F", 2024-11-01, and "Trump Keeps Losing", 2025-03-13), their pace drops to 9 posts in 2025 (3/month), but the Trump obsession sharpens—nearly all target his policies or failures (e.g., "Trump Caves On Mexican Tariffs", 2025-02-03; "Musk / Trump Stock Market Collapse", 2025-03-06). Why It’s Interesting: This pivot suggests a reactive personality tied to political tides. The 2024 election season (July–November, 31 posts) fueled their peak activity, but Trump’s ascendancy seems to either exhaust or refocus them, narrowing their lens to economic fallout (tariffs, stock market) and gloating over perceived losses. The outlier "Penn St Wrestlers vs Migrants" (2024-11-05) amidst this shift hints at a fleeting, bizarre detour—possibly their most intriguing post for its randomness. Implication: Their engagement spikes with opposition (Biden vs. Trump in 2024) and wanes or pivots when their side loses ground, revealing a personality driven by resistance rather than independent curiosity.

You aren't even trying anymore.

I don’t think so. He was ranked #1 most of the year. Seemed to be a mental lapse both last year and this year.

Enjoyed watching him compete. Enjoyed his content. Enjoyed watching his improvement over the years. It is a brutal sport. It wasn't a good tournament for him. The difference between winning and losing in D2 or D3, is often very slim, outside of the elite wrestlers.

1. John Smith 2x Olympic Champ, 4x World Champ. 181-10 wrestling record with a 95% win rate. He beat 45 World/Olympic medalists during his career and retired at 26. So he probably could've kept it rolling if he didn't start coaching. John Smith's Record: https://wrestlingrecords.com/wrestler/john-smith/ 2. Jordan Burroughs 1x Olympic Champ, 6x World Champ, 3x World Bronze. 248-21 wrestling record with a 92% win rate. He's beaten 70 World/Olympic medalists in his career so far. JB is definitely the modern era GOAT, having to take out Kyle Dake and David Taylor multiple times to make the US team. JB's Record: https://wrestlingrecords.com/wrestler/jordan-burroughs/ 3. Dave Schultz 1x Olympic Champ, 1x World Champ, 3x World Silver, 2x World Bronze. 489-88-1 wrestling record with an 85% win rate. He beat 53 World/Olympic medalists during his career. He holds the US record for most senior level freestyle wins, and is the only American to win the Tbilisi tournament twice. His 1984 gold medal may have an Asterix, but he was deprived from wrestling in the 1980s Olympics which he most likely would have won, and his Tbilisi gold may be as good if not better than an Olympic gold medal 4. David Taylor Overall Record: 158-23 Win Percentage: 87.29% Pins: 28 Techs: 69 Once he peaked, he was unbeatable. 1 Olympic gold, 3 world golds, one world silver, one world bronze. He dominated one of the best wrestlers of all time, Hassan Yazdani, and would have won more gold it if were not for his injury.

Egg prices are dropping; oil, gas, and diesel prices are lower; bond and mortgge rates have come down. And more, in less than two months.

The second sentence says, "The Consumer Price Index surged 2.8% over the prior year in February, and the month-over-month increase was 0.2% — both measures cooling from January". Come on WKN. Even better, inflation is lower than it has been since Dec. So it has gone down. That was my point. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/12/cpi-inflation-report-february-2025.html https://www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-inflation-january-2025-interest-rate-83e0a0c4 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-12/us-inflation-comes-in-lower-than-forecast-offering-some-relief Each site says the same. Feb lower than expected and lower than the past few months. mspart

First of all, to do that, wouldn't he have to get to the semis AND lose there? (THEN do the semifinal-swoon to eventual 6th place finish?) Jus'sayin' D3

It’s incredible how poorly the entire Sun Devil team did at the PAC 12s this year. It’s like they didn’t even show up for that tourney.

Are you really sure about that? I hate to break it to ya, bub, but that happened during the semifinals. D3

A lot of these threads remind me of this meme and the saying..."Wishing and hoping the president fails is like hoping the pilot of the airplane you are on fails, just because you don't like him" How about supporting the USA no matter what letter is running the country. And celebrating other countries over your own shows complete and utter ignorance that isn't worth arguing with. I like some of what Trump is doing and I don't like other stuff he is doing, just as I did when Biden was in office, but never once did I want either guy to fail as that would mean we all fail as a country.

Caesar beat Gable in the semis, not the finals

Damn Eqyptians and Babylonians driving SUVs everywhere. Jerks. King Tut and Hammurabi suck!
