Great question.

It is the hot take sub thread of the college wrestling thread. But then you knew, and ignored, that.

There is a perfect place for this. And it is not here.

That exactly fits what the OP posted. He commented on Iowa's recent success in landing big name transfers in a way that he calculated would attract attention. And he was successful.

But as @Spencerlee pointed out, it is a hot take. DeSanto, Eierman, Lugo, Caliendo, Woods all place higher upon transferring to Iowa. So saying the transfers will place lower is the opposite of recent experience, aka a hot take.

Not saying 2/3 will out place their highest placement does not mean I bash them. So why bother?

I do all the time.

Hence the hot in hot take

Terrell Barraclaugh finally gets some competant coaching and finishes top 3.

To us swimmers negative splits are a positive

Terrell Barraclough taking out #3 Gavin Hunter (6th in 2024) 11-9

His tweet implies he is wrestling this week...and he is taking French?

Perhaps before John Smith retired that may have helped.

If Davis had not gotten a takedown with a few seconds left then, yes, the successful challenge of riding time would have been the winning point.

Granted. He learned nothing with his first four chiefs of staff, but boy that fifth one would be right.

Which would suggest that Trump is very poor at hiring, if he needs to fire so many of his hires. Someone with that poor judgement should not be president. And that is so far down the list of reasons Trump should never be president again.

Yes. With caveats. In order to challenge timing there must be integrated timing or a view of the official score clock on the video system. I imagine not all dual matches will have this. "Integrated timing and scoring and/or a view of the official score clock on the official video system are the only allowable timing or scoring devices to be used for video review. Integrated timing may include any timing device projected onto the video review display monitor." This was clarified after a 2021 NCAA match (I believe) that turned on a timing error. Maybe someone with a better memory can fill in that detail.

And chief of staff, and joint chiefs of staff, and defense secretary, and other defense secretary, and secretary of state, and national security adviser, and director of communications, and .... well it is just so many and my thumbs are exhausted.

but let’s not forget, ‘I’m not Trump’ is still a really great reason.”

What does Mike Pence say while campaigning for Donald Trump?

I saw Utah Valley's Terrell Barraclough (#7 Intermat / #8 wrestlestat / #14 Flo) took out Stanford's Hunter Garvin (#3 / #6 /#3) last night.

Fourth place trophies are back. I like to think we shamed them into it.

My first thought was...huh, interesting. But why should 3/4 and 5/6 get to coast, but not 7/8?

Details?

I can account for my whereabouts at all times.
