  1. If I am not mistaken, everyone from everywhere considers him the GOAT.
  2. The official count has caught up with the unofficial count. Five preseason #1's have fallen (Cole Matthews, Yianni Diakomihalis, Will Lewan/Brayton Lee, Aaron Brooks, Max Dean, Cohlton Schultz). But wait, there is more. Make fun of Wrestlestat all you want, but only three of their preseason #1's have taken an L. They had Austin O'Connor at #1 in 157 (though he has dropped to #3) and Mason Parris in 285. But wait, there is even more more. When I downloaded the Wrestlestat data on 10/27 they had O'Connor at an Elo of 1570.43. They now say his preseason Elo was 1553.03 for a #2 ranking. Ahh, data. It can be so slippery.
  3. I am comfortable with him at his own tier because he is 2 for 2 at NCAA's and on a 36 (37) match win streak that includes 1 (2) wins over Mekhi Lewis. Last year he beat the second, third, and seventh place finishers on the way to his title. (Nick Lee, Keegan O'Toole, Aaron Brook, and Gable Steveson also beat 3 ultimate AA's - everyone else beat 2). The year before as the 3 seed he beat the 2 seed and 1 seed.
  4. Tier 1 is Starocci. Tier 2 is Labriola, Lewis, and Foca.
  5. For Flo it is 10 of 10 upperclassmen in 125 in the top 10 Caveat: I have done nothing to make sure that each service considers wrestlers to be the same year in school. So if Intermat calls one guy a sophmore and Flo calls him a junior that could explain the difference.
  6. I always thought this too, but you inspired me to take a quick look. Per latest Intermat ratings 125 has the highest total of top 10 ranked wrestlers coming from upper classmen (Juniors and Seniors - however that is defined these days), with 9 of 10. 125 also has the most underclassmen in the 21-33 range.
  7. I knew once we got away from Conestoga wagons these darn kids would wander off too far. Mark my words, SpaceX will be then end of PSU dominance, too.
  8. only half of me
  9. Would watching Lee v Ramos embolden Fix or scare him off?
  10. Seems like it is mostly your feelings that were hurt.
  11. I don't understand why you think the knee was not designed to bend toward the back.
  12. A personal favorite. With an interesting story behind it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/49:00
  13. His knee wasn't twisted, which is why it is not illegal. His knee was bent in the direction it is designed to bend. Yes, it is extremely uncomfortable, but not any more dangerous than many wrestling moves.
  14. There was a great article on ESPN two years ago about the unnatural amount of weight gain required to be an offensive lineman in the NFL. Great read if you have the time: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29399747/how-nfl-offensive-linemen-escape-5000-calorie-lunch-transform-retirement Soonbto be Hall of Famer Joe Thomas BETWEEN meals for example: Thomas finds a McDonald's on the GPS. It will be quick -- just a bit of fuel between lunch and dinner. He orders two double cheeseburgers, two McChickens, a double quarter-pounder with cheese, one large order of fries and a large Dr. Pepper. "Or another sugary drink," he said recently. "Just to add 500 calories, the easy way."
  15. I am telling you guys, there is something wrong here. Cement doesn't fly and people in the US do not struggle to put on weight.
  16. That is pretty bougie. I only read the ingredients and instructions. I was going to go back and read the preamble after a couple, but I somehow lost motivation.
  17. My wife has been making these lately. So tasty. https://www.southernliving.com/recipes/maple-bourbon-smash-recipe
  18. I could use some help pulling ethernet, coxial and speaker wire.
  19. Too many refs must read this board.
  20. Your logic is circular. A full nelson is a turning move and is illegal. A bow and arrow is a turning move and is not illegal. Therefore, they are not comparable turning moves. Why is a full nelson illegal? Was it legal at one time, but now is legal?
