I'd comfortably give 2:1 odds to the field. I think it's easily twice as likely that Steveson wins than anyone else does.

Then say that Kerk has improved so much in two years that he could make it interesting. Don't claim that the same PSU coaching staff that was there last time will be the difference.

I agree. If Kerk had PSU's staff for their last matchup he would have won.

Those people aren't making predictions. They are sharing lightly held hopes disguised as predictions.

Thread title: I don't think Steveson will win. After clarifying question: I wouldn't bet on it. I think you should apply to write headlines for any media entity.

Yep. Morals aren't necessary to reach the really obvious conclusion that alcohol doesn't help athletic performance.

I agree he was winning before he was losing.

Sam Hazewinkle. 4 total NCAA losses. Won 2012 olympic trials in FS and was 2008 olympic trials runnerup in GR.

i think he's not even in Gable's league.

I think I'll draw big conclusions now. I don't get why everyone should wait until after the fact to draw conclusions. We aren't a bunch of analysts going over past data. We are message board fans commenting on what's happening right now. This would be a really boring place if we all just waited until after the season to have any conclusions.

I would think it matters exactly the same as the post I'm replied to and the post that one replied to. And yours.

Your original take came before the one you are calling outlandish.

You implied it was likely. 5/1 says you don't really believe what you wrote.

You think he'll beat him but you want 5/1 odds? I think that means you don't think he'll beat him.

Was it more dominating if he lost more and pinned less than other guys?
