  1. That's just what Sanderson wants you to think. See, he got you, too?
  2. They get many chances, especially in the current age of the transfer portal. Someone like Nevills would have been welcomed with open arms at the majority of programs. But it was his choice to stay at PSU. He did what he wanted to do. No shame in that.
  3. Askren has complained several times on FRL that Sanderson won't spill the secret sauce. Maybe the Mirasolas are on a deep cover mission.
  4. I can copy/paste fine, but all my numbers will be in base 9 from now on.
  5. If you need a Dan fix you can visit BigRedBears.com Thank me later.
  6. Start at 157 so that three of the last four matches will be for 3 or 4 titles.
  7. Thanks for this. I was looking at the AA list from 2020 and was wondering what happened to Noah Adams.
  8. All digits intact. But to quote one of my kids, "it's not a project until dad is bleeding." One busted knuckle, so it's a project.
  9. That man has skills.
  10. Spent the day with the table saw instead of this. I win.
  11. And so it ends https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2023/02/bellator-news-mma-pat-downey-cut-released-ncaa-division-1-wrestling
  12. Who jas CMU beat? Let's get rid of them too.
  13. Those are management fees, not commissions. They get taken out of the assets of the fund.
  14. @jross this is very sound advice. Returns are unpredictable, but fees are not. Which leads to the mutual fund recommendations above. They are all very high fee funds that have performed anywhere from meh, to very poorly. Fees range from 0.6% to over 2% for some of these. There is no coherent strategy involved either. Many are asset allocation funds that have large bond holding along with stock holdings, yet the suggestion is to hold some bond funds to get bond exposure. I wound not accept any advice you find here. Including my own.
  15. Those yields are annualized, not period yields. So the 4 month return is 4.8/3=1.6%
  16. I hadn't noticed that, but you are spot on.
  17. Now for the Most Chalk (Chalkiest?) I could find 2013 at 133 Honorable Mention to 2011 at 174
  18. Not necessarily under rated, but I was looking at brackets from 2010 - 2022. The most busted bracket I could find was in 2016 at 174 pounds. The podium contained the 11 (1st Myles Martin), 12 (5th Nathan Jackson), and 13 (8th Alex Meyer) seed along with an unseeded wrestler (4th Lelund Weatherspoon). Does anyone know of a more busted bracket prior to 2010? Note: My finishes are mid-point of the range where they got knocked out if not an AA.
  19. As of right now, there are 27 teams that have a chance at multiple All-Americans based on the average rank across Intermat, Flo, and Wrestlestat. Some of those teams are near certainties while others have a remote chance. To come up with the list I averaged everyone's rank across the three services. Then assuming ranks are equivalent to seeds (they won't be), I applied the historic seed results to determine the likelihood a given seed will AA. I have posted that likelihood graph before, but here it is again for reference. There is no surprise that PSU, Iowa and Nebraska are the top three. But Nebraska has the least room for error among the top 10 teams. Only PSU and Nebraska are expected to get more than 50% of their ranked wrestlers on the podium (71.6% and 58.7%, respectively). Purdue falls just short. Note: People always struggle with the decimals in this. What does 0.44 of a wrestler look like, they ask? Since these are probabilities the best way to think of it is the decimal represents the probability of rounding up and one minus the decimal represents the probability of rounding down. Using PSU as an example, they have a 56% probability of 6 AA's and a 44% probability of 7 AA's (that oversimplifies a bit in that it assumes those are the only two possible outcomes - they are not). I will update this when the actual NCAA seeds come out.
