I think only Rocky Elam has a shot next year. Lucas Byrd was a blood round loser in 2023, barely preventing him from having a shot.

No 6 timers. Heaven help us.

With regard to scholarship limits, that was really put in there for football. So any school that is now going to give 85 (I think) football scholarships is not going to have money left over to increase wrestling scholarships. If anything, they may need to decrease them. The way to do it then, is for alumni to endow wrestling-specific scholarships, ala Notre Dame before the shenanigans. That I could see happening.

Excluding 2020 there are 7 five time AA's. Including 2020 there are 20:

That includes 2020.

Nor does the NSA, those famous dimwits.

Said no military expert, ever.

It is time we went old school. I have also seen calls for Bob Fehrs as a three time runner up to the same guy each time (by 7 total points). https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/3828 But there are also two other three time runners up in the no-freshmen era. Dick Wilson and Willard Duffy. Wilson lost his first title by a single point (3-3,5-4 when they scored periods separately). He lost his last two to one of the all-time greats, Gray Simons (some consider him the greatest ever). The first of those was a tie match that went to a ref's decision. https://nwhof.org/hall_of_fame/bio/3756 Duffy lost to another all-timer in Rex Peery in the 1935 semi-finals. But they had true seconds that year, so he wrestled back and beat the other finalist. After taking second in 1936 when they used the Olympic black-mark style, he did not wrestle in 1937. In 1938 he lost by decision to a three-time champ in Joe McDaniel. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/indystar/name/willard-duffy-obituary?id=48636671

It puts me in mind of another vulnerability. In some organizations if you are high enough on the totem pole you can convince yourself that the rules do not apply to you. And if you have enough power, you can make it so.

I am not saying that at all. I am saying they used a protocol that was not approved for the use. I am saying they were reminded of that one month ago by the NSA. I am saying there are other protocols that are approved for use, because they are known to be more secure than the unapproved protocol. I am saying they are morons and liars. You can attempt to dismiss this as partisan, but that is a partisan objection. It does not matter the party of the moron. A moron is a moron. Hegseth was so far and away the least qualified person ever nominated to head the department of defense. This was known ahead of time. And now he is amply demonstrating that fact.

Precisely. And that is why Signal is not approved for this type of communication. And these people were reminded of that one month ago by the NSA. Yet...

What makes you think someone who adds a reporter to a classified communication on an unsecured channel is not EXACTLY the kind of guy who is susceptible to social engineering? Listen to him nervously trying to explain how it could have happened and you will have no confidence he is not that kind of guy.

I provided one. The NSA outlined a very specific vulnerability and restated that Signal was "NOT approved to process or store nonpublic classified information". And I guaran-damn-tee, if a reporter asked Hegseth before the attack what the weapons and timing were prior to the attack, he would have responded, "that is classified". Hegseth is just a moron lying about being a moron. If I was one of the pilots being put in harms way by that moron, I would be livid that all my sacrifices, and my life, were being put at risk by someone who claims OPSEC is in place while in the process of violating OPSEC. Worse than any DEI hire that was ever hired. Unless, of course, he was a DEI hire.

Besides the incompetence, everyone looks competent? That is some of the hardest, most covoluted rationalizing I have ever seen.

You are wrong. No surprise. It is your brand. Rankings are not predictions. You are using rankings to make predictions. It was an upset because a two time NCAA champ, two time Hodge winner, undefeated Olympic gold medalist lost to a wrestler who had significantly lesser credentials. It was not an upset when a #9 seed won a title last year either because the ranking was not a prediction.

The NSA distributed a special bulletin saying so. https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2025-03-26/national-security-officials-were-warned-in-february-that-signal-was-vulnerable-to-attack

As to why Waltz would have Goldberg's contact, it seems likely that Waltz has been a source for Goldberg.

Not a pastry. A criminal...lawyer.

Beau really let himself go.

Zero is a limit

I am sure it depends. Guys like Barraclough, Sealey and Evans are probably #3 guys that a lot of people would want. But it won't just be that. If a guy is in his third or fourth year without being a starter, and room needs to be made for the next hot recruit with four years of eligibilty left, I can see a coach saying "we can help find you a spot elsewhere, but here our roster size is constrained."

Yes they were. And the word is they did not use them instead at least some of them are said to have used personal cell phones. The idea that Goldberg somehow hacked his way into a Signal group chat is some high level conspiracy theory stuff. Especially since Waltz has already admitted that he invited Goldberg to the chat.

I love that you assume these morons will do it again.
