The number of schools with AA's has increased every year since NIL became a real thing. This year saw the most teams with AAs (37) since 2014 (38). And that is in spite of one team taking 10 of them.

It was also the 5th highest second place score ever, the 6th highest third place score ever, and the 7th highest fourth place score ever. It isn't just one team monopolizing the points. Oddly there were also more teams with AA's than we have seen since 2014. And the number of teams with AA's has increased every year since NIL really began to matter. Not sure what all of that means, but it isn't as one sided as one team broke the scoring record two years in a row.

One for fun

Here is a more complete way to look at it. The last column takes into account the opposing effects of fewer AA's per weight but also smaller fields during Nichols' (and a bit of Gable's) tenure.

The problem is they used Signal for classified information. Pure incompetence. The most fireable of offenses, yet they keep their jobs, and in Hegseth's case, doubles down with lies. Hegseth is a moron. No one should be happy a moron is in charge of the military. At the risk of quoting that moron, "the assumption is, in the intelligence community, if you are using unclassified means there is the potential for, and likelihood that foreign governments are targeting those accounts and gathering intelligence from them." He considered that a fireable offense. Give him his wish. Marco Rubio said "the exposure of American sensitive information is incomptence, it is malpractice, it is inexcusable." He needs to resign.

It has been said by the people who proved their incompetence that what they incompetently shared was not classified. Do you believe the people who have everything to lose through their own incompetence to not lie about what they did? I do not. How many criminals plead not guilty?

I assume he meant the 24th letter, Twitter

Either 2020 or 2021. Up until 2019 there were four criteria and three secondary criteria that could be used to separate finalists who had similar credentials (past credentials, sportsmanship/citizenship, heart). There were no criteria mentioned in 2020. In 2021 and after, only the four main criteria are mentioned. At the same time pins as a criteria was replaced with dominance/bonus-point percentage.

Gorriaran (had to look up that spelling) Award goes to Cam Steed he had 3 pinfalls in 7:00 to Hendrickson's 3 pinfalls in 8:25 No one else had more than two.

And in the single most predictable move, Trump is standing by Waltz and claiming it is imperfect technology, ignoring that it is not approved technology for that very reason. And CIA Director Radcliffe when asked if this was a huge mistake replied with a one word answer, "No". To work for Trump, to be Trump, you must be genetically modified to have any sense of shame over telling bald-faced lies removed.

Reminds me of a CEO I once worked for who would say, "the short answer is none of your business, the long answer is none of your fckng business"

And Hamiti would need to be a write in. I feel like only an OSU fan would do that, and they would not do that because they are all voting for Pinfalldrickson.

I second that emotion.

Vespa is to Lee as Todrank is to Nolf.

I like it best because it is the least echo chamber-y. The team specific pages are great, but are too narrowly focused for my taste.

Only three finalists this year: Mitchell Mesenbrink, Carter Starocci, and Wyatt Hendrickson. Though write in candidates are allowed. https://www.win-magazine.com/2025/03/25/fanvote-2/ Let you voice be heard.

Three things that politicians are great at, and Donald Trump is the best at, are lying, deflecting, and covering up. Sunshine is the best antiseptic. If he had simply reported to these guys that he was in the chat, they would have deleted him from the chat, kept using Signal exposing us to ongoing security risks, and then lied about it when he reported on it after the fact. He appears to have done exactly the right thing. They would have been chanting the Trump mantra "fake new, fake news, fake news" with a dead look in their eyes, had he handled it differently. This is why many companies, and maybe the government, hire white hack hackers, to uncover their vulnerabilities before they are exploited by bad actors. And the thing about bad actors is that they never expose, just exploit. By exposing the incompetence here, the reporter has done the right thing to prevent others from exploiting. Again he is owed a debt of gratitude. Not censorship. You are proposing censorship, which makes no sense to me given your prior proclamations that you were being censored and now it would stop.

I seem to recall you rejoicing over the new freedoms of speech under a Trump administration. Censoring journalist who expose serious incompetence is the worst form of denial of freedom of speech. This journalist did this country a great service by exposing this breech of protocols that could put the military at risk. If anything, he should be rewarded. Without his work these morons would keep breeching security protocols.

I mean it in the sense that they are overstating the probabilities which leads to lower payouts. Based on historical seed performance PSU's expected champs was only 2.7. So the odds should have been longer.

If you have 4 and zero you can not get to 5 with three. If you have three with zero you will be hard pressed to get to three in five. You are playing fast and loose by requiring five trips. There are a far greater number of wrestlers with five trips to the tournament who never sniff day 3. They all have zero wins on day 3.

No, it isn't remotely close to a record. Not even in very recent memory. Daton Fix has one win in 5 trips with none of them being titles. Justin Harty and Gerry Abas have four trips with zero wins. There are 15 more wrestlers with three trips and zero wins. And a boat load more with three trips and one win, none of which were in a championship match. Now stop pretending this is about your interest in numbers and records. We all know you have a problem with PSU fans who criticize Iowa coaches over injuries.

Too bad I don't bet
