Wow, you are a real peach.

$88 million from 2 juries, and counting.

If you like that one, @WrestlingRasta and if you like James Brown, check out Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears. My two favorite albums are "Tell Em What Your Name Is" and "Scandalous"

Perhaps read up on the effects of sexual assault to understand why two weeks is unrealistic, never mind the same day. https://www.rainn.org/effects-sexual-violence

If is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

Mendez

This was the defamation suit, not the assault suit. It can be so hard to keep Trump's legal actions straight.

Please, please, please tell me you do not think a round robin is a hedge.

Good point. David Evans did wrestle the last two duals. So let's put it at 6.5 of the other 9 weights.

Probably a shutout? But who knows who goes, so who knows who wins. If it is starter v starters it looks like: 125: Davis (4) v Capul (NR) 133: Nagao (5) v Brown (21) 141: Bartlett (2) v Miller (17) 149: Kasak (12) v Miller (14) 157: Haines (1) v North (33) 165: Mesenbrink (7) v Bell (NR) 174: Starocci (1) v Solis (NR) 184: Truax (5) v Mielnik (NR) 197: Brooks (1) v Smith (5) 285: Kerkvliet (1) v Nevills (25) First question: I have the over/under on PSU starters at 7.5. Over? Under? Second question: Who is your favorite to prevent the shutout? Will Nevills point out the error of Sanderson's ways and prove that recruiting over him was a mistake? Will Jaxson Smith pull off the annual Aaron Brooks upset? Nagao, Bartlett, and Haines have looked beatable. Can one or more of Brown, Miller or North get it done? The closest head to head ranking is Tyler Kasak v Ethen Miller, with only two spots separating them. Kasak is a true freshman while Miller is a third year with two NCAA tournaments under his belt. Is the experience enough to pull off the upset? Would it really even be an upset?

Even if he were not he at least attempted to be by entering Sr. Nationals whereas Ferrari has made no attempt to qualify.

I have my doubts that Assad or Brands have been training. They thought they were done with wrestling until this week. Think about the tournament Real Woods had in 2021 and then discount it for them not being as good as Real Woods. No one gets better at wrestling by not wrestling.

Gorriaran winner that year too with 3 pinfalls.

I like this idea. I will refrain in the future.

Yes, Quisel. And Eric Voelker in 1988 Iowa St 190

Now you get it. It makes no sense. I think they have the requirement to send someone to the championship, if you want to wrestle the weight at the qualifier, because they are only a week apart and no one would do both otherwise.

You are all caught up.

We don't have to use alleged anymore. The agent said he used a warrantless geofence in his deposition given under oath.

That is not accurate. Their pre-Big 10 duals look like this: 2014 - 5 2015 - 4 2016 - 5 2017 - 4 2018 - 4 2019 - 4 2020 - 4 2021 - 0 2022 - 8 2023 - 7 2024 - 3 So post in the post-Covid, non-Olympic years they have ramped up. As for which PSU wrestlers have brought home a medal while in college, the answer is zero. But that focuses on past results. If we learn anything from wrestling it is that focusing on the process and doing things right, is a far superior approach to focusing on results. It is a defeatist attitude to think that just because no one at my university has ever done it means I will never do it. Giving wrestlers the opportunity to pursue their highest goal is how you get so many great wrestlers in one place. The reason OSU made a single exception for a single wrestler is because they had a single wrestler who was looking to pursue that goal. You cannot argue because it was good for one it would not be good for others. As for the Ohio State schedule in 2016, they wrestled 4 early season duals. A whopping one more than PSU this year. They got more matches at the Eastern Michigan Open (who I am pretty sure only the live spectators saw).

From The Athletic: In a discovery motion filed Monday by attorney Van Plumb, who represents former Iowa State football player Isaiah Lee, DCI special agents testified under oath they applied a warrantless GeoFence while using AI technology around athletics facilities at Iowa and Iowa State. Last summer, 14 athletes were charged with gambling-related offenses, all of whom received NCAA suspensions. On Tuesday, attorney Christopher Sandy, who represents former ISU wrestler Pinero Johnson, provided detailed and explosive testimony from DCI special agent Mark Ludwick taken during a deposition on Jan. 19 and filed Tuesday. Ludwick interviewed Lee on May 2 and, according to a discovery motion, he “reassured Mr. Lee that the focus of DCI’s investigation was solely on online gaming operators and that no adverse or criminal consequence would be forthcoming.” Lee then discussed his gambling activities with Ludwick. After Ludwick told DCI special agent in charge Troy Nelson about the interview, Nelson allegedly congratulated Ludwick for “obtaining a confession.” Lee has pleaded not guilty to an aggravated misdemeanor and his trial is set for March 5. “Special Agent Ludwick realized the purpose of the investigation was criminal in nature, with the sole targets being male Division I student athletes at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University,” Sandy wrote in his motion based on Ludwick’s deposition. “Special Agent Ludwick advised his superiors that he would no longer participate in the investigation and requested reassignment.” Ludwick, a 25-year veteran with DCI, “concluded that DCI conducted an illegal search of Iowa student athletes and dozens of others’ personal online account information because the agency did not obtain a GeoFence Warrant as well as lacked reasonable, articulable suspicion to conduct such a search,” the filing says.

Amen

Cassioppi just wrestled at 97kg at the US Open. He would be a pretty small heavy.

Not exactly. The Pan Am Qualifier is a week later. This is the Pan Am Championship. A country can only go to the qualifier if they also send someone to the championship. I am not sure why that is the case given that they are one week apart.
