You are on. We are on the opposite side of 5 matches, so no way we can tie. I will give you the option of the avatar or the signature line if you win.

Not me. I am a Republican. Yes, it is identity politics, but that doesn't mean it is inaccurate. Nor do I think it is what lost Democrats the election. It is clear to me that it was a repudiation of Biden/Harris policies on the border and the economy. While I think people are wrong that Biden was completely to blame, or that anything would have been any different under Trump, with regard to inflation, there is no doubt to me that years of inaction followed by an 11th hour Hail Mary on the border problem cost them dearly. And it was a huge mistake for Biden to attempt to run again. He put the Democrats in an untenable position that forced them to field a candidate that could not defend her legitimacy.

I find it hilarious that you only want precision in the counterfactual, but not the factual.

Many of the names in the list such as Swift, Kelce, Hanks, Fonda, Penn, Soros, Fauci, and Eminem have been baselessly linked to a pledge before.

Do you never tire of being lied to? You may want to fact check that list.

I am coming out of the gate fast. Like a Jackrabbit? Jordan at 125. Bailey does it again at 133. Too much dog in Mendez for Bartlett at 141. SVN shakes off the rust and shows he used his time wisely at 149. Kasak shows it was no fluke at 157. In a coin flip it flips Garvin's way at 165. Jackrabbits may be fast, but what is their endurance? Gonna have to go Levi at 174. Satrocci invents some slight to motivate himself and beats Keck in a snooze fest at 184. My upset special is a man who cannot even spell his own name. Give me Braunagel at 197. No upset at 285. Ghadiali wil be feld by the man.

Back in the day (1920's and most of the 30's) NCAA bouts were 10 minutes. If a takedown happened in the first 2 minutes then they would go 2-4-4. If no takedown occurred in the first two minutes it was a single 10 minute period. OT's were two 2 minute periods. Not sure which these fall into, but the longest bouts I found were 13:54 in 1931 at 118 in the quarters between Stanley "Havin' A" Ball and Sumner "Always Be Moving" Forward. Ball had a ball with the pinfall. And the longest title bout lasted 12:12 two years later at 145 between Allen "Killer" Kelley and Foy "Appropriately Named" Stout. It was Stout who saw the lights that day.

I do. My daughter's pup, but we are fast friends. Then and now.

More correctly, you will never get the answer you want.

What am I scared of? Nothing. I am a wealthy white guy. I will be fine.

And your concerns were unfounded. It is time to start incorporating that into your thinking.

Congratulations. You are the proud recipient of this year's Understatement of the Year Award.

Feels like you were trying to get into the wrong bars.

Kalshi sued the CFTC and won a favorable ruling in September. This caused Robinhood to jump into the market a week or two ago.

I use none of the above

I wasn't trying to be obtuse. I genuinely want a list. As someone who has brought this up repeatedly, I aasumed you would already have a list. You will not find me defending random celebrities.

Do you have that app on your phone? Computer? Yeah, nothing to worry about.

What is the list of people who said they would leave?

It was for Big. They created a logo with the negative space forming and 11 when they added PSU. Then the shortened it to B1G.

China hacked Trump's lawyer's phone. But I am sure their ownership of Tiktok is nothing to worry about.

When does Trump announce his Bibles will not be made in China anymore? Two more days?

Inquiring minds want to know. To find the answer check out my post on the Illini and Illini RTC Fans page No need to answer the question @ILLINIWrestlingBlog, I already know your answer.

Now that they are legal in the US, how do you feel about prediction markets? Kalshi, Polymarket, PredictIt all offer prediction markets on the presidential election. Heading into voting all of them had Trump at mid to upper 50% to win. No polls saw the race the same way. Are you more, less, or just as likely to use prediction markets based on the better accuracy than polls?

It is with great honor and humility that I accept this invitation to the Illini and Illini RTC Fans page. As an Illinois resident and father of a Illini who never fought, I feel it is my duty to show up to the club bearing presents. Using the most recent rankings available from Intermat and Wrestlestat lets take a look at The Illini by the numbers. First, what does Intermat have against our Illini? Other than the too formal Zach, Wrestlestat favors the Illini in 4 of the 10 weights and by 2.6 expected points overall. The negative biggest delta is Edmond Ruth, where Intermat does not want to put due respect on that name. On the flip side, Intermat is not penalizing Lucas Byrd nearly as much as the Wrestlestat algo appears to for taking a redshirt. Trend But at least the trend is your friend. With the exception of Attasauov, Intermat has remained the same or upgraded the rankings of the Illini. Is Illinois Better Than Penn State? Before you answer that question take a look at the distribution of AA probabilities for the Illini from 0 to 10 based on current Wrestlestat rankings. Now glance all the way over to the furthest right column, the one that says 10. Now squint. If you squint hard enough you will see that the probability of 10 AAs is a positive, non-zero number. I point this out because the PSU graph has a big fat zero in that column. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
