  1. And yet there will be buyers at $54.20 for purely cynical reasons. If you own a private asset and there is a transaction you can use that price for valuation purposes (subject to certain GAAP rules). So private equity investors will often overpay for a tranche to defend the valuation of prior tranches (i.e. avoid having to take a write down).
  2. Good news. You can still buy Twitter at the original deal price of $54.20 per share. Who is in? https://www.semafor.com/article/12/16/2022/elon-musks-team-is-seeking-new-investors-for-twitter
  3. The more arcane the reference, the more I love it. Some might even say it is my especiality.
  4. This situation is exactly the kind of thing that makes everyone hate the NCAA and why it is one of the least sympathetic, most bureaucratic organizations in recent memory. It is like the residents of the Gables of Del Mar / Del Boca Vista. They exist to enforce these insane rules. And there is a lot of Stockholm Syndrome going on in this thread. Some have pointed out the absurdity of the rule while others have defended the school, the administrators, coaches and the NCAA because of the existence of The Rule. Never mind that the rule is awful and awfully written making it nearly impossible to interpret. The fact that multiple compliance departments can come up with multiple interpretations of a single rule tells you everything you need to know about how well NCAA rules are written. I know what the words Non, Participation, and Opportunity mean, but I have no idea what a Non Participation Opportunity is. The opportunity not to do something? Holy Bureaucratic Double Speak, Batman. If we go to first principles, Burwick is wrestling for Nebraska right now. He transferred to Nebraska after Wisconsin recruited someone to replace him. His replacement wrestles for Wisconsin, he wrestles for Nebraska. Simple. If there is a rule that prevents that from happening, the fault is in the rule, not the wrestler. The worst part is that the NCAA knows this better than anyone. They fought successfully for decades to maintain their exemption from anti-trust so that they could enforce rules that clearly violate anti-trust standards. Having recently lost several high profile cases, they have begun to back away from some of their more draconian stances, but for some reason, this is one that stands.
  5. I can only answer your first two questions and offer a hope for your last question. You are correct that Rokfin is the only way to watch and it will cost $15 for the event on top of the $15 monthly subscription. Now for my holiday wish. I hope, with every fiber of my being, that Flo will CC their watch party so long as they use the same technology that they use for FRL. The CC is so hilariously bad it would make Norm Crosby's ghost happy (look it up).
  6. OR the injury he sustained at CKLV is still an issue. But, no probably not, the duck thing can be the only explanation ever, world without end.
  7. Cornell's match notes from Friday do not list Jonathan Loew at 184. That has an impact on the ISU dual where it was supposed to be the tightest match (by ranks) of the event with Loew at #6 and Marcus Coleman at #4.
  8. There are many with a one word vocabulary. They are like the proverbial problem solver who has only a hammer making every problem look like a nail.
  9. There is another theory for what Elon Musk is up to. It goes something like this. All of Elon Musk's wealth derives from Tesla. Teslas are proud symbols of coastal elite liberals who have wanted to be aligned with Elon Musk and his liberal sympathies. Meanwhile conservatives view electric vehicles as woke, liberal crap. He has sold all of the Teslas he can to coastal elite liberals. If he were to do something that makes himself personally appealing to conservatives he can double the maximum addressable market for Teslas. If he can double the maximum addressable market for Teslas he can significantly increase his net worth.
  10. Teske has an unspecified injury. While Brands had an injury in the offseason, he has wrestled their last three duals.
  11. I wonder if we will see RBY wrestle Monday's duals. Assuming they have to weigh in both days, he makes it pretty clear here that he has no interest in doing that any more than is absolutely necessary. https://www.pennlive.com/penn-state-wrestling/2022/12/just-a-kid-from-tucson-roman-bravo-young-has-earned-some-fifth-year-penn-state-lineup-leeway.html
  12. Neither guy is ranked so there is no entry to display. There are a few of those scattered throughout.
  13. 10 am Blue Pool 12 pm Blue Pool 2 pm Blue Pool Is this the dual of the Duals? 9 of 10 weights see ranked vs ranked (neither team is ranked at 157 so it is missing from the table). Nine total wrestlers in the top 7 of their weight. ISU is favored in 6 of the 9 ranked/ranked matches. And everyone is looking forward to 149 with Yianni Diakomihalis v Paniro Johnson (let's hope it happens) 4 pm Blue Pool 6 pm Blue Pool 8 pm Blue Pool
  14. Starting Monday, Dec. 19 10 am Red Pool 12 pm Red Pool 2 pm Red Pool Our first big lineup of ranked vs ranked with OhST favored in 7 of 10 matches, and 5 of 8 ranked v ranked matches 4 pm Red Pool 6pm Red Pool 8 pm Red Pool
  15. Whoa, what is with the crap slinging? Oh, yeah. I asked for data and when you provided it I said thanks. Dan would have said "if true".
  16. How do you know nothing has changed? The data from 1928 to 1960 looks very different than the data from 1961 to 2011. Why can't things be different still 11 years later?
  17. I am going to guess you don't have the numbers to back that up or you would have shared them.
