And then there were six. It was a tough weekend for undefeated freshmen. Before the start of the Cliff Keen Invitational there were 19 wrestlers with a shot at an undefeated college wrestling career. CKLV did some damage, knocking out eleven of them. Two others lost elsewhere over the weekend reducing the field of career undefeateds to six. No Wheaties Box for you gentlemen. Sorry. First, The Six * How do we feel about a loss as a redshirt but in an official match? The new freshman eligibility rule has the potential to really mess up The Sanderson Watch. ** Does it count if you do not wrestle? If so, get me my Wheaties Box, and get it now. And now for the vanquished. Note 1: I used the Intermat rankings to find my list of freshmen (the number in the far right column). Obviously there are other undefeated freshmen who have not yet been ranked by Intermat. Who are they? Note 2: It is possible for vice two of the undefeated to appear on next year's list if they do take a lose and do not use their five starts (Nasir Bailey, Luke Stanich). But Bailey better lose soon (or never) as he has used 4 of his 5. Note 3: I am not sure about Meyer Shapiro. If he does not wrestle six times this year, then transfers to a non-Ivy school, can he declare this year was a redshirt? Or is that not up to him?

No, telling what will happen re: Twitter finances. The last estimate I saw is with the recent spike in interest rates the debt service is up to $1.45 bn annually. But I have no idea what their cashflow is, though both Musk and Yaccarino have suggested it is still negative. So lets say insolvency is possible. Given that the debt is 100% owned by the banks that lent the money, a restructuring is a possible outcome. Another idea floated in October is that Musk would personally buy some of the debt to trade it for more equity (dilute his co-investors), and, of course, bankruptcy is possible. As for Musk's comments, he is free to say what he wants, but he is stupid to think freedom of speech means freedom from consequences. And actions like suing Media Matters or banning journalists who were critical of him shows the hypocrisy. He is absolutely a free speech absolutist, but only with respect to himself.

Likely preparing for Nationals to qulaify for the Olympic Trials.

Musk acts like Twitter is somehow above commerce when it clearly is not. If you don't want to lose advertisers' business, don't do things that will drive them away. It is not coercive or pressure tactics to react to what Musk does. Musk has agency over his actions. It all starts with the choices Musk makes. Everyone else is just reacting to those choices.

Flo also has Luca Cochran #1. Musta won the wrestle off with Brooks.

Flo has Crookham #1

Yes. Kerkvliet, Kharchla, Jordan Decatur, D'Emilio, Isaac Wilcox, Jacob Decatur.

Love that one too. Also love shooters mop.

Then we know where they trained.

It was. The 2022 class along with the 2019 class were ranked #1 on Willie's Big Board.

The wild thing is Sasso and Mendez were not even part of either of those two #1 rated recruiting classes. So you have Sasso, Mendez, AND two #1 rated classes. The Sasso situation is the most damaging. With him they are 10-13 points higher, a d in a podium spot.

They have two #1 ranked recruiting classes competing this year, yet they are projected to finish eleventh. Perhaps after this tournament their projected finish will improve, but eleventh is rough given their recruiting.

It might also be worse. But, I think it is safe to say Musk is pursuing a bad strategy. It seems to illustrate the fallacy of thinking expertise in one domain translates to all domains. It cannot be denied that Musk has shown a genius for guiding engineers. Tesla and SpaceX are spectacular achievements, but boy is he shitting the bed with Twitter.

This makes even less sense than your first post, which made absolutely no sense.

I am pro-Pyles, though I love that Sonnen calls him Pyle.

I am reminded of the expession, hope is not a strategy.

That statement always seemed wrong to me, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then it hit me, duh. Musk doesn't know the definition of blackmail. This situation is the opposite of blackmail. The classical blackmail framework is: 1. I find out something that will embarass you, 2. I threaten to reveal this information publicly, 3. Unless YOU pay ME money. This framework is: 1. I am buying a service from you, 2. You reveal something embarassing about yourself, 3. I stop paying YOU money. Do you see how those are different things? Apparently, Musk does not.

More importantly, I am very upset that I have to be at a surprise 60th birthday party right when the fastest 1500 heats are starting.

One thing I noticed watching is because this is the end of an Olympic cycle a lot of the top swimmers are training hard through this meet, so they are well off their best times, as expected. Swimmers that do not expect to make the Olympic team might taper for this event, so you get some results that do not match seeds (based on best times). But as for this guys methods, I am confused. Why is he multiplying every other pair by -1? Got me. So I am not really sure what he is showing.

That blows

Pictures or it didn't happen.

@jross Why is Bill Ackman wrong in his informed opinion? X is treated unfairly and inconsistently by advertisers That is impossible to say. No other company has Musk doing what Musk is doing. Advertisers are responding to his actions, not the other way around. Musk is targeted because the other media organizations view X as a competitor and controversies increase clicks/revenue If the current version of Twitter.com is a competitor, so was the old version of Twitter.com. Little has changed in that respect save for one minor element. Musk. The Disney(s) cave to public pressure in a way that is not in their best interest How do you measure this? They are clearly acting in what they believe to be their own best interests as fiduciaries for the investors. But the definition of that has certainly changed over time. It used to only be about profits (except in extreme cases), but now there are "other stakeholders" to consider. That is a whole other topic. But how do you measure their best interest to determine they are not acting in it. In Musk's case he does not appear to be acting in his own best interest. He hired a CEO specifically charged with getting advertisers back, and one with a background in advertising at one of his target clients, then he goes out of his way to make her job impossible. Musk did not have antisemitic intent when he responded with the ‘actual truth’ tweet I do not know his intent, nor do you I suspect. I do know the impact of his amplification of anti-Semitic messages. It also seems like this is a very predictable outcome. But Musk is nothing if not impulsive when it comes to his Tweeting. It is the reason he has had to apologize for it so many times. Musk is correct in saying that Jews should rethink support for organizations that seek their elimination. I do not know what you are saying here. Earth is fortunate that X is owned by an individual that is largely insulated from financial and other influence. I thoroughly enjoy that Musk bought Twitter. The entertainment value for me is very high. The earth being fortunate seems a bit bombastic. And by a bit I mean a lot.

At 6k+ and 12k+ songs are you letting the algorithm decide or are you choosing that many songs yourself? I have created a favorites playlist that is 80 hours long, but that probably limits my song count severely.
