I would put Tyler Caldwell, Dylan Ness, and Trent Hidlay up there as two time runner-ups and four time AAs. For guys who also got it done on the international scene I would include Myles Amine, Sebastian Rivera, and James Green. Greatest brother pair has to be Hayden and Trent Hidlay. Both four time AAs.

It always amuses me when they do their press availability in the hallway outside of the practice room and you can see through the window behind them all the guys playing dodgeball.

That sounds more like a managing director than an intern.

A chip and a chair

There are 10 teams with 10 ranked wrestlers in at least one of the ranking services (6 have 10 in all 3). But not all are alike. It is wild that Pitt has ten ranked wrestlers in Flo this week, but they will do well to scratch out 1 AA with their highest ranked wrestler at 11. So who can make a run at Minnesota? Remember that based on seeds The Golden Gophers only had a 0.78% chance of finishing with 10 AAs. Chances of All 10 AAs

If it is a trackwrestling mistake, it is shared by wrestlestat. They could have the same source or track could be wrestlestat's source. Or they could both be correct. Not sure.

I think Brands saw the thread from last year asking which two teams combined could beat PSU and he decided to find out.

The debt ceiling is a silly waste of time. It has no teeth and no impact if it is constantly raised. They should just get rid of the idea.

I have been told I am a tough grader

For clock thingy I was thinking along the lines of avoiding Dresser type mistake and not knowing where riding time is and whether to cut or ride. Or Sanderson/Mesenbrink not knowing about the riding time point and needing to attack. I put Spratley and Fish scenarios in tactics where he got an A+.

Given the logjam at a bunch of weights at PSU it sure seems likely. And if, as we suspect, the argument is that the PSU room prepares you for wrestling beyond college, then OSU has begun addressing that too.

Right back at ya, ya filthy potato.

Lineup - A Tactics - A+ Brick - Incomplete Clock thingy - Incomplete And it turns out Jimmy Kennedy is from my neck of the nape. And it explains why my next door neighbor was wearing Penn State Wrestling shorts when I met him. He is a coach at the high school Kennedy went to.

While I wasn't able to see it with my own two eyes, I heard a rumor that an Amine took multiple shots. And not in a season. In a match. So, evidence is mounting.

Are you in person?

Except I don't learn anything from MSNBC. Jump to a better conclusion.

What does that have to do with Elon Musk?

Killian Cardinale is the only two timer (2021, 2023)

From a recent WSJ article: "As SpaceX deepened its ties with the national-security agencies in recent years, the company’s lawyers advised senior executives not to seek a higher security clearance for Musk that would give him access to details about sensitive programs SpaceX is involved in, according to people familiar with the matter. The reason, these people said, was that Musk would have had to answer questions from the government about his contacts with foreign nationals and drug use previously reported by The Wall Street Journal. ... The SpaceX lawyers began analyzing the risks of seeking a higher security clearance for Musk after the Journal reported in June of last year about Musk’s use of ketamine, according to one person familiar with the review. The lawyers and executives concluded that if SpaceX sought a higher security clearance, it would risk Musk being turned down, or worse, losing the top-secret clearance he already has."

I would be curious to see how that works. One of the traditional jobs of the speaker is to put a tent on that circus (though republican speakers of late have had limited success at even that). As someone with no experience working with legislatures and probably little desire and even less capacity to spend extended amounts of time in DC, but with unlimited capacity to fight, I think it could be highly entertaining.

Don't put too much stock in this as it only covers two 5-year periods (so call it weak evidence), but it occurred to me last night that we have a bit of a natural experiment. The 33 seed era is now 5 years old and the 16 seed era only lasted 5 years. So I thought I would take a look at what the expansion from 16 seeds to 33 seeds has meant. In theory, if seeding is accurate, then going from 16 to 33 would have different impacts on different ranges of seeds. Concentrating on the first round: In a 33 seed bracket the top 8 seeds face seeds 25 - 32 (or 33). In a 16 seed bracket the top 8 seeds may get anyone in the 17 - 33 range. So seeding all should be beneficial to the top 8. In a 33 seed bracket the 9 - 16 seeds face seeds 17 - 24. In a 16 seed bracket the 9 - 16 seeds may get anyone in the 17 - 33 range. So seeding all would be harmful to the 9 - 16 seeds. In a 33 seed bracket the bottom 16/17 seeds face the top 16 seeds. In a 16 seed bracket the bottom 17 seeds may get anyone in the 1 - 33 range (other than themselves). So seeding all would be harmful to the bottom 17. And that is what the results show. The top 8 seeds have performed better in the 33 seed era, while the next 8 seeds have performed worse, and the bottom 17 have performed worse. So, good job seeding committee.

That sucks

A coaching failure. Not sure how that guy has hung on so long.

That is what Klosterman said made Breaking Bad unique among the four along with The Wire, Mad Men, and The Sopranos. A strong case can be made that in the latter three the characters are products of their environment that, to some extent lack agency, but in Breaking Bad it is a conscious decision by Walter White. That was certainly reinforced in the finale.

From 2015 to 2023 they couldn't even get 10 guys to the tournament.
