That is a strong first post. Welcome to the board.

So far the only thing Trump has done with immediacy is disgusting. He is trying to score political points from this tragedy. It would be one thing if he had any real reason to believe DEI initiatives were somehow resoponsible. But he does not. Instead he went with his most base instinct. Demonize The Other.

Maybe @ionel can help. He seems tight with the overlords.

That would be interesting. Too bad I am pat the 15 minute window to edit.

There are many great ones to choose from, but which one has you most interested?

A+

Since we appear to have hit a wall, I will post the "final" results. Some Accounting Turns out I am a bad accountant. I miscounted. There are only 49 entries. But I will let you keep the cash prize @Ragu for the 50th entry. Here is what I have for each of the 49 entries. If anyone feels their entry is in error, please let me know. There are 40 Intermat entries (an all time high), and 6 HVI and 1 HR (both all time lows), to go along with one from Twitter, and Willie's prediction. Wisdom Of The Crowds If you believe in that sort of stuff, the final score prediction is...... Spread 'Em On HVI I saw someone say they saw a betting line of Iowa +21.5. With our WOTC Predicted spread of 17.5, maybe it is time to take Iowa and the points (not gambling advice). The distribution of differences looks like this: Who You Calling a Lier? Nobody. I said outlier. Settle down. As you can see there are a few outliers in the stack. @Mr. PeanutButter wins the Hawkeyed Cockeyed Optimist Award for greatest Iowa fan. But he is a singular bird of that feather. I am frankly shocked and disappointed at the practicality of the rest of Hawkeye nation. Two thirds of PBJ sees Iowa taking 6 of 10. Nobody else could talk themselves into even 5 wins for Brands' Boys. For goodness sake, even the greatest four three time champ in Hawk History (@Spencerlee) has the Nittany Lyings Lions winning by 14. For shame. On the flip side, who woulda thunk it? We have a Wolverine in Lions' clothing. At 37-0, @nhs67 exposes the lie. He can claim to be a Michigan fan all he wants. We know better. Only baccafarmer (HVI, no duh), Kale_yeah (guess where), @Pish (who hides as psih69 on HVI), and your faithful author could also see PSU hitting the triple decade. What Abouts The Bouts? But enough about us. What about the wrestlers? Glad you asked. Kerkvliet, Haines, and Bartlett are the only unanimous choices. Iowa is favored in 3 matches with Ayala the biggest favorite, followed by Buchanon and Teemer. Teemer v Kasak appears to be the most interesting match of the night at a near 50/50 split. But I feel like Buchanon v Barr should be given the 22 points in 1:19 onslaught we witnessed last week. But come on. Don't be stupid. It has to be the match that will end with a beheading, right? Two bold statements have been made. The first one turned out to be silly. But now we get a chance to see one of them actually backed up. Or sorta backed up. I do not expect an actual beheading. He Shoots. He Scores. From a scoring perspective things move around a bit. While Mikey Caliendo got one vote of confidence (we see you @RawDog) the expectation is that Mesenbrink will do more damage than a Lion in an aviary. And in a shocker, Beau "One Shot, Everyone Knows The Rules" Bartlett is the collective second favorite to take a second shot. Or maybe you guys just like him for the back points (aka near pinfall points)? At the other end of the spectrum is the one, if we are really being honest, we are tuning in to see. Two Brands. Two Team Point Deductions. Too bad Vegas doesn't offer a prop bet. I have told the wife every night this week what I am planning to do on Friday night. Come join me. I think I will crack open some spirits for the big event. But if clean living is your thing, then God Bless.

More good news. You can use Trump's garbage coin to both line his pockets AND smell like him. Trump's Memecoin $Trump Can Now Be Used To Buy Watches And Sneakers Though Adam Kinzinger thinks that may not be a great idea.

Good news. Twitter debt is back up for sale. The investment banks that financed Musk's purchase of Twitter are back in the market trying to sell the hung debt. And word is they have already sold a tranche. Price talk is in the 90 to 95 cents on the dollar range. It is apparently that high because it includes a previously undisclosed claim on some xAI equity in the event of default.

where are your bonus points coming from?

Especially the Democrats who know him best, his family.

This is the kind of well-thought out rebuttal that will keep a guy awake at night rethinking his choices.

How would you say the officials will score a WBGP? 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 team points

That's fine, but it has to be from memory with exact scores and times scores occurred. A proctor will be provided.

In a two minute span you pulled a quote from 2023 and a quote from 14 minutes prior. Evelyn Wood would be proud.

I miss @BerniePragle. He was my original ride or die.
