Draconian

You miss the point (which I believe is intentional with you) while also making the point. If Iowa is the only game in town they do not have to offer her money. It is the others that do.

I am not sure if Iowa would the ones. They are already the prohibitive favorite to win the title every year. Perhaps an underdog with a rich, interested alum would step up. But I know so little about women's college wrestling that I have no idea who that would or could be.

With pay to play now a thing it makes sense to consider college if the right offer comes along. In softball the most dominant pitcher just got paid $1 million to transfer. And with NIL she can also still do endorsements.

Then why did you make that part of your argument?

Indeed. There are 5 (and about to be 6) moves named after Biles. She is doing things ever done before.

Marchand .... won 4 individual golds in Paris, Phelps won 5 individual golds in Beijing.

That was pretty sweet.

Well there are a couple cabinets, so I will go with two answers. Calumet Farms 15 year Single Rack Black is my favorite in cabinet one, but if you ask my wife's cousin he would prefer the Knob Creek 12 year. In cabinet two I will go with Blanton's single barrel over Weller Special Reserve. But $ for $ it is the Weller, all day.

I like to take a bottled sauce and spike it with cayenne and manuka honey.

Not even theoretucally could you swim 18 of 35 events.

No because swimming >> wrestling. I am not sure Lopez was the best at all 5 Olympics even though he was the best at his style at his weight. Phelps was definitely the best at 3 of his 5 Olympics and an argument can be made for 4 of 5 as he was most accomplished 4 times. His first Oly at 15 he got nothing.

Sure it does. You mentioned it is harder to make the Olympics with six weights. A big part of that is how crowded the domestic competition is to be the guy at that reduced number of weights. Amine did not have to run the US gauntlet for the World team before getting a chance to get an Olympic quota. In San Marino Amine gets a bye. And he chose that route because he could not beat the domestic competition.

Or? And.

I think it is about control of middle rather than who is aggressor.

The market is up today. Does that mean Bidenomics is working now? Should we count the up days and subtract the down days?

I saw that in track in field yesterday too.

I can also be talked into putting the 1970 Cyclones with Dan Gable and Ben Peterson (2 Oly gold, 1 Oly silver, 1 World gold, 1 World bronze, 2 Pan Am golds, 2 NWHOF, 1 Presidential Medal of Freedom) number 2 on the list.

Michigan doesn't fit the criteria. They did not win at the collegiate level, going 5, 5, 2 in the three years these guys overlapped. As for 6 weights versus 10 weights. It is really not the same when it is 3 countries to access the 6 weights. At a minimum it is 3 of 8 weight equivalents, or 37.5% versus 4 of 10, or 40%. The knock on the 1981 Hawkeyes is that they won all of their Olympic medals at the boycotted 1984 games, but it is hard to ignore the four HOFers, or coaching accomplishments. Given time maybe the Wolverines could match the coaching success, but I do not see a fourth HOFer on any f their rosters.

Using @blueandgold's original premise of a single year (2001 Hurricanes) I think it has to be the 1981 Hawkeyes. In addition to winning the NCAA tournament that year, the roster went on to produce four Olympians (Barry Davis, Randy Lewis, Ed Banach, Lou Banach) who won three golds and a silver. They also produced 2 silvers at Worlds. That roster also produced five Hall of Famers. All four of the Olympians are in the Distinguished Members wing of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame along with Jim Zalesky. In addition, Lennie Zalesky, Jim Zalesky and Mike DeAnna each went on to have distinguished coaching careers.

This was a fun tidbit from The New Yorker article "How to Buy a President" last week: The upshot was that even with the SPAC maneuver and its $300 million in limbo, there would be enough capital to build a social network. And the executives had decided on a name. At a meeting at Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Moss and Litinsky pitched him on Virt, short for virtuous. Trump suggested Truth instead. They looked up the domain TruthSocial.com, saw that it was available for a little more than $2,000, and bought it. When they ran the name by Melania, she burst out laughing. “Truth?!” she said, pointing at her husband. “This guy?”

You guys act like any of this matters. Her single greatest accomplishment is also her single greatest qualification in the minds of voters. She is not, has never been, and will never be Donald J. Trump. The J stands for insurrection.

I do not doubt that. I just think it is smart to not be on Facebook. While you miss out on good stuff, like this interview, you avoid a lot more bad stuff that the Facebook engagement algorithm pushes on you.

Smart

USA is showing the US matches on delay. Just showed Rau and have Hilldebrandt right now. JB on the mic.
