I saw that in track in field yesterday too.

I can also be talked into putting the 1970 Cyclones with Dan Gable and Ben Peterson (2 Oly gold, 1 Oly silver, 1 World gold, 1 World bronze, 2 Pan Am golds, 2 NWHOF, 1 Presidential Medal of Freedom) number 2 on the list.

Michigan doesn't fit the criteria. They did not win at the collegiate level, going 5, 5, 2 in the three years these guys overlapped. As for 6 weights versus 10 weights. It is really not the same when it is 3 countries to access the 6 weights. At a minimum it is 3 of 8 weight equivalents, or 37.5% versus 4 of 10, or 40%. The knock on the 1981 Hawkeyes is that they won all of their Olympic medals at the boycotted 1984 games, but it is hard to ignore the four HOFers, or coaching accomplishments. Given time maybe the Wolverines could match the coaching success, but I do not see a fourth HOFer on any f their rosters.

Using @blueandgold's original premise of a single year (2001 Hurricanes) I think it has to be the 1981 Hawkeyes. In addition to winning the NCAA tournament that year, the roster went on to produce four Olympians (Barry Davis, Randy Lewis, Ed Banach, Lou Banach) who won three golds and a silver. They also produced 2 silvers at Worlds. That roster also produced five Hall of Famers. All four of the Olympians are in the Distinguished Members wing of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame along with Jim Zalesky. In addition, Lennie Zalesky, Jim Zalesky and Mike DeAnna each went on to have distinguished coaching careers.

This was a fun tidbit from The New Yorker article "How to Buy a President" last week: The upshot was that even with the SPAC maneuver and its $300 million in limbo, there would be enough capital to build a social network. And the executives had decided on a name. At a meeting at Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Moss and Litinsky pitched him on Virt, short for virtuous. Trump suggested Truth instead. They looked up the domain TruthSocial.com, saw that it was available for a little more than $2,000, and bought it. When they ran the name by Melania, she burst out laughing. “Truth?!” she said, pointing at her husband. “This guy?”

You guys act like any of this matters. Her single greatest accomplishment is also her single greatest qualification in the minds of voters. She is not, has never been, and will never be Donald J. Trump. The J stands for insurrection.

I do not doubt that. I just think it is smart to not be on Facebook. While you miss out on good stuff, like this interview, you avoid a lot more bad stuff that the Facebook engagement algorithm pushes on you.

Smart

USA is showing the US matches on delay. Just showed Rau and have Hilldebrandt right now. JB on the mic.

Welcome back and let's hope you are celebrating.

While you may think this, this is very dumb.

She was born in the US. Has always lived and wrestled in the US. Why not wrestle for the US?

There were 12 seeds from 1979 until 2013. There were 16 seeds for only five seasons from 2014 until 2018. From 2014 to 2018 Cody Brewer was, indeed, the highest seed to win followed by Myles Martin as an 11 seed. There were no other double digit seeds to win in the 16 seed era (or in the 33 seed era).

In my world we call this overfitting the data.

Nah, then it is just transportation.

Another fun fact. In high school I swam with a guy who was a 50 flat 100 yard flyer, and about a 52 flat freestyle. In practice he would swim our 10x200 freestyle sets doing butterfly instead. He would also occasionally swim butterfly in freestyle events just to mess with people.

The answer is simple. Swimming is the highest form of sport.

There you go. I always said Gary Collins was a better coach than Cael Sanderson.

He must still be upset about the time I called him a school marm.

You have confused the why with the what. The what is makes shit up. The why is the stuff you said. Doesn't change the what. I laughed at you when you said they do not fabricate information entirely, and then quoted the exact same thing I did, and highlighted the same part I did, that said the opposite of what you said just a few sentences earlier.

unfortunately I do not have the data to answer this question. But, the good news is @cowcards does.
