@BobDole has gone AWOL.  Even Biden's recent visits with the dead have not encountered the good dead senator.  

He last visited 2 hours ago.  Biggest duck of the season if you ask me

@Wrestleknownothing...I motion to submit my bet with Jimmy to your Summary Docket If it would so please you and the forum.  I also request to file a complaint on @BobDolefor not presiding over my bet and allowing the court of forums to be run like a bar saloon in the old wild West.

i don't want to be difficult, the conclusion of this paragraph contradicts the introduction. If you want to say its 50 different things fine, i wouldn't because it explains away the meaning of the expression, but you can't say its any number of things and then its a bunch of things which are perfectly balanced. 

Well, I'm not trying to get too metaphorical with this but there are many different ways to make a great stew with different ingredients.  A great stew doesn't always require carrots or potatoes

when did a boring out of shape wrestler carver an exciting in shape one? I'm not saying there is nothing to it but style is a bigger part of is being let on.

Carvered is an away wrestler who is heavily favored coming into Iowa City, laying an egg, getting caught for a big move, getting decked, gassing out etc and losing.  Styles can make it more exciting.  Not necessarily disagreeing with you.  It just a perfect stew with lots of ingredients

It is not the match style but the environment. 

This right here.  It's one of the main ingredients.

Alex Meyer beat Mark Hall his freshman year and Meyer wasn't a shootout type guy.    I believe as Hall has told his version his adrenaline was too high to start the match and he gassed by the end not because of Meyer's pace but the environment. Carvered.

That match was 100% Carvered 

It's seems there is a little confusion of what "getting Carvered" is.  For example 1998 returning champ and heavily favored Eric Guerrero is up 6-2 in the 3rd with not much time left, falls apart, and gets beaten by freshman Doug Schwab.  I posted the match below.  Starts @11:00.  It was an electric ending and a "he got Carvered" moment.  Toss up matches, regardless if the away wrestler is ranked higher, in Iowa City do not meet "he got Carvered" criteria.  

                                                              PSU | IA

125 Ayala late takedown in the 3rd           0-3

133 Nagao RT & 2 takedowns                   3-3

141 Woods early TKD sets the tone.         3-6

149 Kasak is better but Carvered?           6-6

157 Who wins in OT?                                 9-6

165 MM breaks Caliendo in the 2nd.       12-6

174 MD for Starr.                                       16-6

184 Arnold's counter D gets him backs  16-9

197 Brooks MD.                                         20-9

HVWT doesn't matter who IA sends.      24-9

The only three on your poll that would meet the "Carvered" criteria are Nagao, Kasak, and Kerk

I had to wrestle my step- brother in a ranking match / interested dual. Yada yada 4 months later, my step dad was gone.

Does bio dad love telling this story to his buddies?

Apologies WKN.  Struggling with a few match predictions.

I took a stab at translating this into specific weights, but if you do not want to rely on my interpretive skills...

Are interpretive skills imperative to know something?

Make a fair poll on this site and if fewer than 3 people want me to stay on this board I will leave willingly.  Fair means it has to be objectively worded like "Do you want Jimmy Cinnabon to permanently leave this forum?" and leave the poll open for at least 1 week to get a sufficient sample size.

Are you already laying down the groundwork to Welch on our bet?

C'mon nhs67, think of the greater good and take one for the team!

There's already a bet.  Messenbrink vs Caliendo straight up pick em.  Caliendo loses Jimmy is gone forever

I probably should've said "is @BobDole on the hot seat" but Bob only gave me 15 minutes.  

Bob Dole still hasn't commented on the bet.  Perfect example why he lost the election by pinfall to Slick Willie

A lot of Franek over Haines picks.  Posters thinking he wins it in overtime?

I'm not going to bet now because it would put me in agreement with dipship Cinnatwat.

I concede that you win.  What did I lose?

Nothing.  We're bandmates for life

You wanted bold.  I got it for you.  Let's just hope @BobDolehonors the bet and doesn't chicken out himself on enforcing it

Sure.  I think you are underestimating how good Caliendo is.

@BobDole...This is official.  Messenbrink vs Caliendo.  Straight up.  Loser leaves the board forever.  I have Messenbrink over Caliendo

Just now, nhs67 said:

but saying he is more likely to get bonused is asinine.

Let's bet on this. Caliendo wins, Messenbrink bonuses, Messenbrink wins decision it's a push.  What do you want to bet

165 Caliendo dec MM 12-6

Let's bet on this since in your words  it's so realistic.  Straight up.  Caliendo wins I leave forever.  Messenbrink wins.  You leave forever 

Quite a few pickem matches

125, 133 (Nagao is the slight favorite), 141 edge Iowa, 149 (Kasak could get Carvered), maybe 157 but I doubt it & 184 (if Arnold goes)...Iowa matches up well against the Nits

165
Caliendo, Iowa over Mesenbrink, Penn State via Decision
Iowa 13-6

You're crazy.  Better chance Messenbrink bonuses than losing to Caliendo.  He'll break him mid way through the 2nd period

Is it true Flo subscribers keep getting kicked out of the live streaming feed?
