Yes. Three titles and on a seven pin streak toward his fourth title in dominating fashion? Yes, yes I would.

I still dont have picks from either of you two

Atta boy

Glad to hear they aren't wasting their time on the metaverse... With this guy.

I will go one step further. There is not even anyone on Hawkeye Report predicting a 9 point Iowa win. The most diehard of those diehards has it as an 8 point Iowa win (21-13). Hell, 8 of 13 over there are picking PSU outright.

Then why ya askin' us?

You can certainly try. I will check with management. But be warned, all of their decisions are final and arbitrary.

With the Iowa / PSU dual stealing the spotlight this week all the talk has been of Spencer Lee. Seven straight pins will do that. But let's not forget there is another all-timer looking to put the cherry on top of a stellar career. While January has been all about Lee, February should be about Diakomihalis. His last three competitors, and his next three, are not highly ranked (or ranked at all by Intermat and Flo with one exception), in February he takes on Penn's Doug Zapf (currently #12 on Intermat, #11 on Flo, #12 on Wrestlestat) and Ohio State's Sammy Sasso (#3, #3, #3). While he has never been a particularly high bonus guy, does Diakomihalis look to make a statement and put up bonus points against these two as he heads into the post-season and a date with immortality? Well, of course he does, but will he?

It's a technical term. You wouldn't understand it.

Page 1 me has all the answers.

I will see your data point and raise you a data point. In 2020 his TF over Meredith was the sixth of six straight TF's. Now he is on a seven match pinfall streak. I think he wants to keep that streak alive and to do it at PSU would be delicious for him. Would he be so bold as to release Steen if the TF is close, but he can't quite get the pinfall?

From 18-18 in the pre-season to 18-15 Iowa to 18-15 PSU. I love it. Thursday Update: This time with just the most recent pick by each (25) sayer of soothes. Will He or Won't He? RBY is no longer the unanimous choice at 133. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'. Give the people what they want. No ne predictions out of either the PSU boards or HR.

That makes one of us.

Yes, probable is doing a lot of work there.

He doesn't seem like he needs a coach to motivate him.

I started following PSU closely in 2018 and I am sure they have not started at any other weight than 125 in that time. Anecdotally, there used to be a lot of talk on BWI about how they would start ever dual in at least a 6 point hole prior to the arrival of RBY.

I am a believer.

Askren once called me a wimp on FRL, so his picks do not count. Christian Pyles was very friendly when I spoke to him at last year's Iowa/PSU dual, so he is in. But I am going to call him Pyle because I love it when Chael Sonnen is on FRL. JD Rader has grown on me, so he is in. On second thought, he has never used any of my voicemail questions, so his picks are off the board, too.

BTW, I am going to throw a tsk, tsk and a finger wag at Iowa fans, too, as more of The Intermat Insiders believe in Cassioppi than they do.

I used 60% as my cut off for clear. He is at 62% to Facundo's 38%. Of course, you have the power to change that as I do not have a prediction from you, yet.

He's a pinfall wizard There has got to be a knee twist A pinfall wizard's Got such a supple wrist

Realistic? Were the Germans realistic when they bombed Pearl Harbor?

$75, if you can believe it. That is less than 50 cents per listed credential. And they do not even list all of their credentials.

Here is how the rival factions currently see it. For shame, PSU fans. Not a single one is picking Bartlett to win.

PSU clear favorites among the cognoscenti at 5 weights (133 RBY, 157 Haines, 174 Starocci, 184 Brooks, 197 Dean) Iowa clear favorites at three weights (125 Lee, 141 Woods, 165 Kennedy) Two toss up weights (149 Murin/Van Ness, 285 Cassioppi/Kerkvliet). The Board has spoken.
