There is some chatter on HR that he will go JUCO for a year before returning to Iowa. Perhaps just idle speculation about how to handle lineup jams.

That's ok

Backtrack when challenged. Classic cav

You project in the wrong places SOOOO much. This is just another one of these made up dialogues in your head. You want to attribute to me things I never said simply because I criticized your orange idol.

It is very cartoonish, though you cannot understand why

I am not suggeating anything. I am outright stating Trump is small and petty, and nothing happens with Maxwell without his order.

Re-read my post and see if you can a.) Spot your error on your own, b.) Figure out the important part.

No longer in the portal. Transferred to Iowa Central.

Ledecky is also 8 for 8 in the 1500 at Worlds and Olympics. 19 for 19 in the distance events. Yowza.

Ledecky is now 11 for 11 in the 800 at Worlds and Olympics combined. 11 for freakin 11

Boom

This is a guy who is trying to force Coke to change their formula, Harvard to change their admissions, and ban paper straws. There is nothing too small or petty to escape his attention. And this is not a small thing. I do not have the same view as RV on basically anything, but I absolutely believe Trump would get involved here. Maybe he didn't "sign" the order, but he did give it.

There is always a tradeoff between speed and accuracy. If we waited until everything was known 100% then it would take so long as to be useless. The problem is not the process, it is the politicization of the number. Virtually all economic indicators are revised all the time and no statistician had been fired for this very normal thing until the emperor was informed he had no clothes.

This is the equivalent of a CEO firing the accountant when he tells the CEO the business is losing money. It does zero to fix the real problem.

I already answered that. Politicians always promise more jobs if elected, this makes Trump look bad. Almost as bad as he made himself look by firing the statistician claiming it was because of her partisan politics when it is really because of his partisan politics. This is a pattern with Trump. Whatever he accuses someone of is the thing he is guilty of. And yes, revisions this size do happen. Mostly in volatile times. It happened during Trump's last term, only more so due to COVID, and early in Biden's term. Greater than 100k for either the first or second revision is not normal, but it is also not unheard of. Trump does not want to believe that his own economic policies could be to blame, that on again / off again tariffs make it hard for businesses to make long-term plans like hiring, or that mass deportations may have an impact on employment. And maybe they are not to blame, but introspection is not his strong point any way. Find someone else to blame and fire them, that is where he excels.

It would help if you took the time to understand how the numbers are produced, and have been produced since at least 1979, wherein companies report figures to the BLS who produces an initial estimate based on initial reports and then revises the initial estimate twice, each a month apart as more companies report their numbers to the BLS. The number of companies reporting generally grows by almost 1/3 between the 1st and 3rd estimate. Economists and market practioners have always known this. It is only with politicians trying to use the numbers to gain votes, and playing fast and loose with the facts (a twitter specialty), that you get the current idiocy. The odds Trump understands this are just about zero.

This is pretty dumb on so many levels. Some might say this is "a level of dumb, the likes of which has never been seen." Oh, and petty, too. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/trump-erika-mcentarfer-jobs-report-fired.html If you do not like the numbers just fire the person in charge of assembling the numbers, but only after you cut the size of their department and make it harder to assemble the numbers. After all Trump has zero interest in accuracy, only advocacy. If you are not faking the numbers in his favor, then you have to go. The only sin that cannot be forgiven is the appearance of not licking his boots. Mind you, nowhere does Trump say any numbers were faked, just that if you are Donald Trump these numbers do not push his narrative, so they must be fake. There can be no other explanation. You know, 'cause the narrative is always the truth. Oh, and he just created some more unemployment in the process. Doh.

He was unseeded one year. Perhaps the query is missing that edge case.

I have managed my career such that I have a lot of freedom of motion, and I take advantage of it. I am not retired, nor self-employed. My job entails doing similar stuff with financial data, so I have a lot of practice with much, much, much larger data sets (billions of data points), making this fairly easy (but not always). The hardest part is always getting the data, not manipulating it. As someone else pointed out, I really like numbers. And in wrestling there has been a complete lack of numerical analysis, so I can't not try to fill that void.

That is a damn distinctive nickname, and the correct answer. Great work. See the cashier on your way out to claim your prize.

I have some favorites in this category. First the "Fool Me Twice Gorriaran" goes to..... NC State's Tab Thacker who flattened Washington State's Wendell Ellis twice in a row (for Ellis) in a total of 4:32 Other finalists include Maryland's Hudson Taylor who pancaked West Virginia's Jared Villers on consecutive occasions, Iowa State's Gordon Hassman who felled by pin Lehigh's Harley Ferguson III twice on the run, and Iowa's Bruce Kinseth with pinfelled by pinfall Millersville's Frank Presley. And the "Wait, I Gained Weight To Avoid You Award" goes to... We have a tie. Ohio's Joey Calhoun went from 142 in 1994 to 150 in 1995 to avoid Illinois' Steve Marianetti, but a corn fed Marianetti found him anyway. NC State's Tommy Davis took full advantage of the weight changes in 1999. After taking it on the chin from Doug Schwab in 1998 at 126, he decided to go full feed in 1999 and jump to 141 only to find freakin' Doug Schwab waiting there. Well, at least he was able to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas that season.

I am not sure, but he wrestled unlimited if that helps.

No, sir, you may not.

Yeah, like I said, new fangled

There were three examples last year. Tyler Wells (Minnesota) losing to Evan Frost (Iow State) in the blood round in 2024 at 133 followed by an opening round loss in 2025. These matches are also notable because Frost won them both without scoring a takedown (2-1 and 2-0) Maximus Hale (Penn) losing to Dylan Fishback (NC State) in the first round of the 2024 consolation bracket at 184 (1-4 SV) followed by an opening round loss in 2025 (3-10). Jordan Greer (Ohio) losing to Seth Nevills (Maryland) in the consolation pigtail at heavy in 2024 followed by an opening round loss in 2025 (0-5).
