  2. Not so fast, my friend. Not everyone on this board thinks every missed match is a duck.
  3. I've lost track of what is going on, but I feel like you owe me ice cream.
  4. Like Schrute Bucks or Stanley Nickels https://theoffice.fandom.com/wiki/Schrute_Buck
  5. Sanderson does not strike me as a merciful god.
  6. I think that is only a consideration for Starocci and Brooks, and I think they are fairly confident they will earn the spot at the conference tournament.
  7. I wasn't even thinking about it in terms of fairness. I was thinking that it is counter productive to USAW goals. If they want to earn medals at the Olympics and World Championships it makes sense to work on better seeds wherever possible (see Rivera, Sebastian). But having this challenge process discourages attendance at ranking events as Diakomihalis and Lee have had to prepare for this instead.
  8. Without knowing who they send out it is almost impossible to bet the over. PSU has a habit of sending out back ups at ramdom weights for whatever reason. Rest, illness, injury, etc.
  9. Not an original thought by me as someone else told me this, but the USAW should probably rethink this challenge process. It can be bad for both wrestlers as they wind up missing ranking events to prepare for this instead.
  10. Well, then I owe the government two more errors. Man, taxes are brutal.
  11. Look up three posts for my admission of error.
  12. I wonder if all the eligible ones are. And I wonder if there is a waiting period like a lot of pro HOFs.
  13. This is a Tesla question, but would you pay Elon Musk $55.8 billion at this point in Tesla's history?
  14. But it isn't meaningful in the absolute. Median incomes have also risen since the 1980's. US Median income in 2020 is 3.2x what it was in 1980.
  15. Yeah, I screwed that up. It is total championships, not unique three timers due to the way I had the data structured. Divide everything by three. Mea culpa.
  16. With PSU less than two months away from losing two three time champs, I thought we could take a look at what the landscape currently looks like for guys who can make a three legged stool with their trophies. I think everyone is generally familiar with this: A while back I dabbled with the idea of eras in college wrestling. After spending a little time with the historical rules I came up with something that divided our history into four eras based on a combination of how many weights, All-Americans per weight, and the importance of individual first place in team scoring. That looks like this: Combining the two we get a breakdown of three time champs per era (I maintained the sort order based on all eras combined): Fourth Era (1979 - present, 10 weights, 8 AA's, first place < 30% of placement): It is Iowa's world, we all just live in it... For now (cough, PSU, cough). But PSU will fall farther back this year as two three timers become two four timers. OK State matters. Screw you Fresno State. Three three-timers in the modern era and you drop wrestling? For shame. Current three timers who WILL become four timers: Carter "StarRocky" Starocci, Aaron "Amen" Brooks Current two timers who WILL become three timers: Keegan "O'Funky" O'Toole
  17. I agree that power plants should not, but the grid should store energy. Check out this book for a much more detailed examination of the grid. The Grid
  18. Try deleting the app. I copied the link from the website. I do not have the app. Though when accessing the website from my phone it always asks me if I want to use the app instead. I always say no.
  19. weird. I am not logged in but it takes me directly to the 29th rankings.
  20. I see 29th
